Final Postage Dates for 2024!

With Christmas just a couple of weeks away as usual theres some important things to be aware of

First up its the Last Postal Dates for 2024:

  • Wednesday 18th December – Guaranteed for Christmas (UK)
  • Friday 20th December – UK 1st class priority orders

These dates should get orders to you for Christmas, but as always theres no Guarantee

My final Postal Date for 2024 will be Monday 23rd December, any orders after this date will be dispatched in the new year

 

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 comes into place on the 13th December. 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.

 

1 Final Show –

I have 1 final show this year, this coming weekend the big Manchester Christmas show on 14th – 15th December as such do be aware that stock levels may well be incorrect if you order online over this weekend, any orders that do become out of stock will be sorted asap, with either a refund or the products in question.

 

Finally, I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has bought from NWM this past year either online or at one of the many shows ive attended, your support always means a lot and i hope that you will continue to do so once more through 2025

Merry Christmas and all the best for 2025

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.
