Hello modelling friends.
Does anyone have any experiences ordering from www.Eduard.cz to N. America?
It appears that they have some awesome deals going on all the time on the website and I would like to place an order.

Thanks for your time.

They do seem to have some fantastic deals, but make sure you check out the shipping they now charge for the PE sets...
Here is from their FAQ section:

What are your shipping costs?

Europe - 29 USD
North America - 29 USD
South America - 39 USD
other countries - 39 USD

Argentina - 47 USD
New Zealand - 47 USD
Thailand - 29 USD

Free postage isn't applied.


I keep drooling over their sales, until I see that shipping cost.

I agree that the shipping prices are a little high, but the deals they provide are unbeatable.
Do you know if the prices are set by weight or are these just general 1 or 100 kits shipping price?

Thanks

To be honest, I'm not sure. I remember reading a post somewhere that their shipping was reasonable, but raised them due to complaints that they were underselling their distributors. I assume it is a general shipping price but you'd be best to ask them yourself to confirm.

If you are interested in a Canadian Distributer with good prices, check out:

His prices seem to beat those on the Eduard site for some items and he says he can get almost anything in 1 to 3 weeks. I haven't personally used him yet, but plan to soon.
