Hi all,
I´d like to buy some clear lenses from www.little-cars.co.uk, but it would be my first purchase with this company and as they have no online shopping tool it´s needed to provide the credit card details via phone or email.

Is it a realiable and trustful company?

Thanks a lot for any answer.

Jiri

Little Cars are a regular trader at the majority of model shows in the UK and I buy from them all the time, mostly using a bank or credit card and have never had any problems whatsoever.
Always had reliable and freindly service.

Hope this helps,

Little Cars trades around the UK model-show circuit, and we're having them at our show next month. I've never had any problems with Paul.

For my e-bay and over seas purchases ( kits , books cds ) , I got my self another credit card . One with a $ 200 doller credit limit . So If it gets hi jacked your not out a pile of money . Its also easier to keep track of hobby purchases as their all on one card . Just don't let the spouse hear about it

I did exactly the same as Jim, a cash limited credit card, which I only use for internet purchases so I can see really quickly if it has been hijacked.

And regarding the original question, Little-Cars are good people who are honest and conscientious, they exist to serve modellers, not to rip them of or make a fast buck.

Cheers
Adam
