tnungester Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Yes I've heard about his decals but at but a$645.00 shipping cost ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 $645 shipping charges for a $107 worth of decals? That seems a bit excessive. I seem to recall someone here mention that he has someone in USA distributing his decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall someone here mention that he has someone in USA distributing his decals. Joseph Morgan is the North America distributor. Keep in mind he places prepaid orders with Neal “Ray” Aldenhuysen in the Netherlands who has a printing company produce and ship them to Joseph who then mails them to customers in the US and Canada etc. So while the shipping cost might be only $10 USPS with tracking for multiple decal sheets, expect several months for the order to get in the cue, be printed, shipped bulk to the US and then to the individual customers by Joseph. I have ordered a couple of times and the decals are a great product. Sometimes there are extra sets in Josephs stock and those can be shipped asap an he also sets up a booth and sells at several model car events. You can email Joseph with a questions. I usually contact him via Messenger. Edited June 20 by vamach1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echoxrayniner Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Ray here! Holy hell, something desperately must've gone wrong if the checkout quotes a 600$+ shipping cost. Most expensive shipping I offer is around 33 bucks and that's a cakebox sized parcel D; Lowest ought to be 14.50 if you're from North America, so even if something's wrong that'll be all thats needed to ship. Like Rex and Pete mentioned, if all you want is a plain set with no changes at a lower shipping cost(roughly 10 bucks IIRC), feel free to hit up Joe Morgan on the Facebook page Rex showed above. That said though, I've been playing catch up from a total tidal wave of orders from like the last four months. So dang many that I havent even gotten the time to update the website, properly reply to emails, the whole shebang. At long last at the phase where I can finally start packing and shipping very, very soon but yeah... pretty gnarly wait nowadays, sorry fellas :< Also thanks y'all for the sweet replies, I friggin' love you guys ❤️ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accueil public | mofobow@hotmail.com | Fotki.com, photo and video sharing made easy. Keith’s are less expensive however if you compare the same sets you can see Rays includes a lot more “extra” ones. I guess it depends what you need or want. I have not bought any from Keith for a few years so I’m not sure what his prices are now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echoxrayniner Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Figured this one out. WooCommerce had an emergency update the other day and it introduced a bug that caused the decimal point to be deleted. Something to do with currency seperators to be dots in the States and such but commas overhere so it just... ignored it. The default checkout pre-address is set to the store region which is the Netherlands so it snagged the 6,45$ option and immediately turned it into 645 friggin' dollar. Also I used to do envelopes but since 2020 all commerce has to be sent via barcode mail(fancy word for package), escalating the lowest "legal" possible cost to 14$. Effectively it made shipping in an envelope a 50/50 risk that some overzealous mail sorter takes it out for not bring a letter. I ship in mailbox packages to avoid damage, and given the cost is so steep I may as well give folks a proper protected package. Costs me a little more than it earns as the box itself is a buck plus a piece but ah well, better safe than sorry eh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

restoman Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I got an order from Ray's a few months ago. a bit of a wait time, but the decals were very nice. Loads of extras on the sheets. I don't remember the shipping costs, but it didn't seem outrageous at the time. I need to order a few more from him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyG Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I've been dealing with Ray from the very beginning, he's a great guy and is open for suggestions and requests. The quality of his decals are excellent, among the best in the hobby. He communicates in acceptable time. Ray, keep those decals coming, I'm sure you have some cool surprises coming up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
