SeaWatch Books is Open!

[Tobias]

Hello Maik,

I ordered my Speedwell books on Monday and according to UPS they will be delivered tomorrow, I have to say that went quickly.  General comments and my personal opinion is that the shipping costs are ok, around 56€, yes it may be a lot for some, but it is very fast 4-5 working days and if I calculate it on the time I can spend with this book and which ones  friends it can prepare it is justified.  

I bought the two books of the Naiad in January last year, I can't remember exactly the shipping costs but I think it was around 30€ but with a delivery time of over 6 weeks.  Finally, I would like to thank Maik again for keeping Sea Watch Books alive by taking it over and giving us the opportunity to continue buying the great books.  

 

Greetings Tobias

I think shipping costs are fine now - what we have to remember is that these books are heavy, which ramps up the base shipping costs.

[Swinging the lead]

Good to see you back. Initial international postage was combined for about 3 books. I think this worked out about £35. Which was liveable. However this stopped and it was £35 per book! So l am sure something could be worked out.

When ordering, the shipping costs hurt. Upon receipt of the books, the pain disappears.! 🤣

Received the second volume of the Speedwell for my birthday this week. Not had time to study yet but these two books look to me to be great resource for general model building techniques and not just to build the Speedwell.

 

My wife has indicated no problem with postage cost to UK.

This months newsletter from Seawatch says thet the next volume of the Rogers Collection is at long last under way again!

 

[Jaager]

Both books in Mike's newsletter sound like they will be winners. 

It is a win for all of us that he could get Grant Walker back on board with the Annapolis project.

The Walker book, volume three, sounds exciting. Will it be just fourth rate small two deckers, or will we at last see the Frigate Shannon, Brig Fair American and the Swan Class sloop up close? I'll start saving my milk money.

I have splurged....

Business Expense for you. Nice set!

Volume III should be out late this year! We are laying out the book now.

Hi

the original shipping costs to the Uk were very high but this was resolved and were about $30, but checking on the website today where there is 25% discount on books,  all that is wiped out on a now shipping cost of $50!!!

So has there been a near 60% increase in shipping

There is a massive postal strike ongoing in England right now, apparently. I wondered why my two books, shipped from the UK, are already two weeks overdue.  Any insight from our English brethren as to when this might end?

Yes, the postal workers are holding a series of one day strikes which I expect to continue into the autumn.   That said, it doesn't seem to be delaying the mail here for more than a day or two.

Good News for all nautical book addicts:

 

I have just ordered the three volumes of Ed Tosti's Young America work (more for techniques, tips and jigs, as I am unlikely to ever build the model) and not only is there a discount for purchasing the three together, the postage for all three to England was only $35 total. Shipping costs have indeed been reduced dramatically.

 

All the best,

So, you pay less for postage, but the mail strike hold things up instead. Can't win!

Good Evening All;

 

Well, I must say full marks to the people at SeaWatch. I ordered 3 books on Monday 5th December, and they arrived at my home in England today, the 9th December. That's damned good service, and deserves a mention in dispatches.

 

Thank you one and all involved; whoever does the shipping is obviously well-organised, and worth the cost. 

 

I shared Druxey's pessimism, I have to admit, and did not expect to receive anything for at least another week.

 

All the best,

 

Mark P

Received Rob Napier's new book yesterday. A terrific read on Rob's career and a record of model cleaning and conservation. In addition it contains a sound philosophy on ship models and considerations to building in longevity to what we do.

Ordered 29th January received 2nd February, excellent service from Seawatch Books.

 

I enjoy reading Greg and David's  books for their own sake, but I may just have secondary reason for buying.

Every time I see a new comment on this post, my pulse races thinking that it is an announcement for the release of the third volume of the Rogers Collection by Grant Walker.

[Archi]
