Ordering on line.

Reliable, knowledgeable when speaking to the team on the phone and trustworthy. The delivery from online ordering is first class.

Not impressed

Took 11 days to receive this small parcel. Granted this was over Xmas/New year, but I did look at the website before ordering, which suggested they were only closed for two extra days…otherwise I wouldn’t have ordered. They even sent the Trustpilot request 3 days before they had even posted the package. If you’re going to advertise an online sale over the Xmas period, you either need to ensure that people know there will be a delay, or ensure that orders are dealt with in an effective manner. I’ll get in the car and drive 30miles to my nearest model shop next time.

Excellent customer service

Ordered an Infinity digital controller on Boxing Day (Thursday) and it was delivered on the Saturday morning. Whilst to me it wasn't urgent this service at this time of the year is excellent customer service and much appreciated. Thank you Gaugemaster.

Great team to buy from

Great team to buy from, friendly, helpful when need assistance, quick & fair prices. The service level alone worth the support for not Always being the cheapest.

The gold standard

Gaugemaster is the standard by which all other model shops are judged - and rightly. It's almost impossible to fault them, either in the shop or on mail order
