Good item, excessive postage

The pulleys I ordered were as described and once modified (as I had expected) did the required job perfectly. However I was charged nearly £6 postage for what could have gone in an envelope for large letter price

Magnificent support

Magnificent support, with a website full of incredibly valuable guidance to inform your purchases. I requested a delayed delivery due my being out of the country. Everything I asked of Railwayscenics was faultlessly carried out. To top it off, I received a follow up email, thanking me for my custom and offering me further support if required.
