BrickLink UK sellers

[TechnicApe]

Hi All

Just thought Id pop in and say hello.

Im new to technics and loving it

So far ive built 8053 mobile crane , 8109 flatbed truck and the 8110 unimog.

Thanks to this forum ive discovered rebrickable.com and bricklink.com. Im wanting to buy extra pieces from bricklink and Im wondering if any UK users on here have favourite bricklink stores they use. Im looking for the stores that seem to have the widest range of parts so I dont have to shop around and order from all over. Thanks in advance chaps.

It can be difficult to find all the parts in one store (unless its a very expensive store) but I've never worried about where stuff is coming from (in US keep orders below £50 to avoid import duty & tax issues) If you create a wishlist of items then BrickLink will find stores with those items in stock. I have used many stores, but My emergency goto store is my local seller who is just across town http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=masterbuilder1

There are also buying opportunities from AFOL clubs like www.brickish.com

Hi,

There are many great UK sellers about. In particular I thought I would mention two that I’ve had excellent service from – not just once, but with every order I have placed. That’s very important to me, as I’ve had some bad experiences as well. In fact the first one was the store I placed my very first order with, several years ago!

I tend to try and buy from UK sellers where possible (that’s not to say that there aren’t great sellers all over the world), but it can often be better to pay a few more pence per part for reliable service, cheap shipping, no customs charges and quick delivery times. Don’t forget that with the large letter rate available in the UK, 100g can be sent for 75p, which is pretty reasonable.

Shameless plug: I also have a BrickLink store (same username as here on Eurobricks) and try to stock a fair amount of Technic. I still always feel a bit sad when someone buys Technic from me though, but I tell myself the funds from selling some parts can help me buy more in the long run, plus I’m sure it is always going to a good home!
