Fighting 15s is running normally after time off caused by COVID and a necessary recovery period. As of 4pm on 14 July 2022 Fighting 15s is fully up to date on orders. There may be a few emails I have missed. I’m sorry, but it’s unlikely I will find them after a three-week layoff. I […]
Last week, all of the family tested positive for COVID. We feel lucky to have escaped COVID for so long, until a milder variant is doing the rounds, and multiple vaccinations have almost certainly reduced the impact. All of us are doing fine, but I wouldn’t describe the experience as enjoyable. I do not want […]
Fighting 15s resumed deliveries to the EU last week after experimenting with a number of delivery options. We offer a limited service. EU customers who order flags will have their orders sent by post. We can ship most flag orders using letter rate, and they seem to arrive OK, typically within about two to three […]
Fighting 15s has suspended deliveries to the EU. Too many parcels are getting severely delayed in customs, or lost, which leads to refunds and an overall loss for us. The new barcoded postal and customs labels are clearly not helping, despite being correct, and although a few EU customers are getting their orders, a significant […]
Our local full post office is shut for at least four weeks while the store in which it is based converts from a Co-Op to Tesco. All post office services have therefore been taken up by two small sub-post offices, which offer only restricted opening times, in the morning only until lunchtime. Because most of […]
Fighting 15s regrets that customs-related issues with Italy and the Republic of Ireland mean we have temporarily suspended deliveries to both countries. Italy has a massive backlog of customs parcels caused by an issue with Poste Italiane’s IT systems affecting all parcels from outside the EU. See https://personal.help.royalmail.com/ Ireland has a long-running issue with rejecting […]
They’ve been a little late joining battle with the existing flags for the Anglo-Allied Army of 1815, but the 15mm flags for the French for the Waterloo campaign are now available in the Fighting 15s shop. The Orders of Battle flags are ideal for wargamers or collectors who wish to have the correct flags for […]
Fighting 15s is closed for Christmas and New Year from 8 December 2021 to 2 January 2022 inclusive. It will still be possible to place orders in the shop and they will be dealt with on our return to work. We have a lot of reorganisation to get done. The reality is that very few […]
Just to reiterate that there is absolutely no chance that Fighting 15s will attend any wargames show in 2021, either in a professional capacity with a stand or in a personal capacity as a visitor. Don’t hold out much hope of it happening in 2022 either. I fully realize that some wargames traders’ lives are […]
The EU’s new rules on import tax come into force today and will have precisely no effect on Fighting 15s sending orders to customers there. They affect what happens from the customer’s end, but here in the UK we’ve been living with much the same EU-agreed laws on imports since 1 January 2021 – the […]
