Postage charges

[inovermyhead]

While putting together a small order from W/N I kept an eye on the shipping charges but even when I reduced the order down to one small electrical switch the shipping was still going to be €75 on a €10 part, is it just me or are they just not concerned with no real competition to speak of. Anyway the order can wait until I'm feeling a bit more generous..... my 20c worth

Cheers. John

I have purchased a lot of parts from them within last 30days. First Oder was over $3,900 worth and it arrived in exactly one week from date of order. Seems to me they have a flat charge for shipping, mine was 49.00 Euros each time....
You can email them and they respond fairly promptly. It seems that it is relatively small company even though they handle wide range of vintage parts...
Albrecht Walloth , one the partners has been my main respondent!
Best wishes!

yes, Walloths introduced a flat rate some time ago ; the flipside is that one can obtain a lot more "bang for buck "on larger/weightier orders than in the past ( excluding windscreens and the like ). But agree it's a nuisance if just a few small items required urgently . E9 owners over here sometimes circulate pending order(s) so shipping cost can be shared . Cheers, Simon
