3rd October 2006. We are currently having difficulty with the automatic ordering using credit cards. Please place your order as normal but use either the PayPal payment option or 'send card details seperately' option and either phone or fax your card details

About Us SAMS Models are a Mail Order business based in North Hertfordshire. We have over 30 years experience in the model aircraft trade. Callers are most welcome but please, do telephone or e mail for an appointment first. Please do not simply turn up, our postal address in not where we work from also, it can be complicated to get to us so you will need instructions.
Making A Purchase Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.

We accept credit card payment. If you are shopping from North America or anywhere else, place your order and your credit card company will convert the transaction to US Dollars or your own currency.

We accept Visa and Mastercard, Amex & Meastro. We do not charge for any item until it is ready to ship with the exception of Flying Styro Kits when the item will be charged at the time of order. . Back ordered items value over £10 are not charged until they are shipped. Below £10 may be charged when 1st part of order is sent. You may send your credit card information via phone, fax, snail mail or over the Internet.

When confirmation of order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.
Shipping And Handling Shipping charges are by percentage of order value. In the UK, minimum postage is £3. up to order value of £30. Above £30 the charge is 10% of the order value. Note. If the value of the order is high and the weight of the package low, we very often reduce the postage charge. Conversly, if the package is very heavy or large, postage charges may be higher than 10%. We do not charge you more than it costs to post the item.
Postage to EU countries. Up to £10 is £4. Above £10 the charge is 15% of the order value OR the actual cost of postage.

To overseas countries outside the EU the cost of shipping is £5 for orders up to £10. Above £10 the cost is 20% of the order total OR the actual cost of shipping
Delivery Schedule Every effort is made to dispatch your order as soon as we receive it. If items are not in stock, we will usually inform you by e mail as long as you have provided us with your e mail address. Back order items are dispatched as soon as we recieve them. You will not be charged for items on back order over the value of £10. Under £10 may be charged at the time of dispatch of first delivery. Should any backorder item become unavailable, we will inform you by email and offer either a credit or full refund if the item has been paid for.
Back Orders If your item is not in stock, we will back order for you. You will always be emailed with the option to cancel your order if you would rather not wait.
