We're trying to order these 1/16 figures
https://heng-long-panzer.de/en/1-16-Dri ... -Car.html/ for our WPL B16 but they won't send them to the UK as the order is less than 170 Euro.
I've not been able to find them anywhere else, does anyone know of an alternative supplier who will ship to the UK please?

In similar cases, we simply ordered more things together with friends from the club in order to collect the required amount. In addition, shipping costs are then to be shared.

That's an idea. Is there anyone here who is putting in an order with them and would like to combine with us?

You could use a freight forwarding company EG My Germany. That's what I do also for company's that will not ship outside of Germany Then you don't have to worry about a minimum order value. Regards John.

I am surprised that Licmas (Herr Lickel) cannot ship to the UK. His firm has shipped to me here in the US a number of times, and I have always had fine service. Does this have something to do with Brexit (of which I am largely ignorant)? Have you tried contacting the firm?

On what stage of the order did you get information about minimum order? I've tried to edit country of delivery for a single figure and only difference is total cost of shipment:
Germany: 5,90 EUR
Poland: 13,33 EUR
UK: 16,90 EUR
USA: 32,00 EUR
etc.

Within a week of the UK leaving the EU Heng Long, Axels and Rc Tanks.de placed initially an embargo on UK orders which later changed to a minimum order of around £130 to cover Vat and additional paperwork.
My advice is if you want to buy from a German dealer wait until you need a number of items that total more than the minimum order and then buy as a bulk order.

Good grief: I am sorry this happened to you in the UK. I hope it gets settled out so you do
not enjoy the kind of shipping we get to the US: slow, dangerous, and expensive.

I also had that problem with another German company minimum order 165 euros but then you get hit by vat and import duty on top. I am still trying to find someone will ship tamiya ML1 suspension parts to England . Those who will ship are out of stock. Any help finding these would be gratefully received.
