Changes to International Postage

International Postage at NWM

USA Postage

Due to burocratic paperwork inc tarriffs etc, means that sending items to the US is no longer a viable option as a business. I am aware that other model shops have managed to get things in place to deal with this. However, given that its exceptionally rare i’ll get an order for the US its no longer worth my time, effort and costs, as such I can no longer offer this service.

Europe Postage Changes!

GPSR! a new unknown but essentially a series of blockages. This legislation is supposed to reduce the cheaply made, often dangerous products spamming the world through the likes of Amazon, Wish etc. Which obviously I dont sell, however it does mean that there are tighter and harder things in place to get any orders into Europe. This came into place on the 13th December 2024. In all fairness it is very rare that i do ship to Europe but as it would mean a big increase in the paperwork to send what are generally very small items its no longer viable to have orders and shipping available to Europe. Whilst this is disapointing news, i am hopeful that things will come into place for it to work easier in due course, to allow me to re instate Europe shipping options.

 

Should you wish to place an order from oversea’s please contact me directly through this website to discuss options.

 

About North Western Models

 

At North Western Models we believe that it’s the detail that brings a model railway to life.

North Western Models was established in 2015 by Kevin Colley and Christopher Gore as an online model shop based in Stockport, Cheshire. Initially dealing with high quality detailing accessories and kits, North Western Models prides itself in serving the model railway community to promote the notion that detailing helps to bring a model railway to life.

Kevin and Christopher have a lifelong passion with railways in general and also with model railways. Between them, they have planned, built and exhibited a number of layouts in 00 and N gauge at various local model shows. Kevin and Christopher regularly attend a number of exhibitions each year, either trading as North Western Models or with one of their layouts which is currently on the exhibition circuit.
