Important Delivery Information

Processing Time: All orders are carefully packed by our model enthusiast staff within 1-2 business days. Complex orders with rare items like F3K gliders or limited edition kits may require additional verification.

International Considerations:

  • Customs fees: While uncommon, some countries may charge import duties. These are the responsibility of the recipient.
  • Remote areas: Unfortunately, we cannot currently ship to certain Asian regions and islands. Check at checkout.
  • Fragile items: Our die-cast models and balsa wood kits receive special protective packaging.

Tracking Your Order: You’ll receive a confirmation email with tracking details once your order ships. For RC components and competition gear, we recommend using our standard shipping for more frequent updates.

Our Delivery Promise

As fellow model builders, we treat every order with the care we’d want for our own:

  • Every kit is inspected before dispatch
  • Instruction manuals and small parts are securely packaged
  • We’ll notify you immediately if any rare items (like Cobi model kits) face unexpected delays
  • Our UK-based team is available at [email protected] for delivery inquiries

Remember: You have 15 days from delivery to return any unopened items in original condition. See our Returns Policy for details.

Whether you’re waiting for that perfect plastic model aircraft kit or professional direct drive system, we’re committed to making your Model Craft Shop delivery experience as smooth as your next build.
