RMweb Gold Craigw Posted November 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2020 8 hours ago, peach james said: Why not order from Australia ? Apparently it only works one way. I have ordered things from the UK for about 35 years with no issues. I would expect "add to cart" works exactly the same with shops this side of the globe. I have the book, it is lovely. Purchased it after camping for a week and riding on the Walhalla Railway. Regards, Craig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased a copy of LNWR wagons recently and the post was 27GBP. The VAT on your side is a bit of a whack extra though. That being said, paypal is very generously collecting GST on all imports for our Government - even on things that are GST exempt!
