Making a purchase

This could not be easier. Add your desired items to your cart and then click checkout. You will have ample opportunity to confirm and check your order during the process. However, once you have clicked the confirmation button your order can NOT be changed unless you contact us. No contract exists at this point.

Payments

Our website automatically sends a pro-forma order confirmation. However no contract exists until we have manually sent you a shipping confirmation email, which indicates that we have accepted and despatched your order. In the unlikely event that we refuse the order, we will notify you by email.  It is only at the stage of us accepting your order that we will take money from you. A VAT invoice is created at time of despatch – a VAT receipt is automatically sent with all locomotives for warranty purposes, however if you would like  VAT receipt with any order you place that does not include a locomotive, please request this in the order form comments section when ordering.

In the event that we change a products price, we will notify you before we take action to gain your approval. All products prices shown include VAT at the current rate.

Here at Colletts Models, we offer our deposit service, where you pay just a small deposit to secure your requested item, and then closer to the release date we will get in touch to request the balance payment which can then be paid by card or cash. The deposit is non-refundable in the event that you cancel the order (excluding circumstances beyond your control). Deposits can be transferred between items unless the original item is within four weeks of delivery, in which case we will have submitted our final orders to the manufacture
