VECTIS AUCTION

[David Tilley]

It does take a while to get them. They usually send out around 2-3 weeks after you win. You will know it is on its way when you get the invoice for the shipping.

I'm a newbie at Vectis, I've recently signed in and I've won two lots from the May 15th Matchbox auction. I will post some pictures if I get the stuff, but I didn't get the invoice for the postage yet.

Vectis are very slow with their post, I waited nearly 7 weeks to receive item I had won a while back. But they do package thing well to be fair. I would drop them an email, that might quicken things up.

yes, tell something like it is for a birthday present so you need it very soon!

Thanks Ghosty, I did so and I got soon an email with the shipping invoice and tracking number. Let's see how long this takes.
But wow, the shipping cost to Germany 19 GBP.

Yeah they are not cheap. My small box sent through the Royal Mail in the UK cost £11.45. That's the additional expense of dealing with a business who are including the parts and time spent in doing things into the cost of shipping. You buy something from eBay etc it is just a private person in their spare time more often than not and shipping is basically how much it costs physically to send out. A business is paying somebody to work at wrapping, compiling boxes, and sorting out things. The costs to pay them for the job are handed down to us too. I am used to it, and always am prepared for it.

Yes, I'm fine with this.
Today I got my two lots, and Vectis did a good job (very fast shipped and very well packed).
