Buying Diecast Cars from United Kingdom
Hello Diecast forum members. I hope you are all well and staying safe in these uncertain times. I am starting a topic with regards to buying Diecast from UK retailers. As we all know, the UK has exited the European Union. There are immediate impacts because of this. My question revolves around shipping costs. Surely there is a significant increase in import fees, handling etc. Has anyone on this forum bought diecast from the UK and did they notice a substantial change in the cost of shipping? I fear from now on that it would be unwise to buy diecast from the UK because of the cost.

I have bought from the UK, nothing within the last few years though. Shipping was typical, same as European countries more or less. How their exit from the European union impacts this, not sure. You should contact the retailer and ask them.

Your biggest concern is the fact that GBP and CAD trade at almost 2:1
