Has anyone ever bought directly from Euromodel?

[GrandpaPhil]

Has anyone ever bought directly from Euromodel before and had stuff shipped to the US?  If so, was the shipping reasonable and reasonably quick?

 

 I would like to buy a set of plans from them (Ajax), but I was wondering at other people’s experiences with them.  

 

I always do research before buying from a new vendor.

Hi Phil - If you contact piratepete007 he can answer any question you have about Euromodel.  He writes the building instructions for their kits & is a member of this forum. He was extremely helpful to me when I was building the Royal William.  I can tell you the Euromodel plans are probably the best you will find - very accurate & well detailed.  I have not dealt with Euromodel directly,but I believe they are a quality company that cares about their customers & would not hesitate to buy from them.

I’ve dealt with Euromodel twice, and they have been nothing short of fantastic.  The first time was to buy one of their lion figureheads because I was building the Lyme using the Corel Unicorn kit.  The second was to ask them about replacing a missing plan sheet and warped keel on a used La Renommee kit that I had picked up on eBay.

 

Not sure if he is still there, but Massimo was such a nice guy to deal with.  Just be aware that they are shut down in August believe for the Italian summer holiday.

 

I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from them.  I agree with Mark that the Euromodel plans are among the best out there, very detailed.  And Pete’s built notes are an invaluable resource.
