Subject: Hail St. Jon of GZG and Good Service
Hey folks, I just wanted to say "on list" how impressed I was with my recent order to Jon at GZG. I ordered quite a variety of stuff (all SG figs) - mostly all single models, small sets (like the News Crew, which is excellent) and three resin vehicles. The largest single set was a squad pack of PA, and the total was upwards of 40 separate coded items. I placed the order by email on Sept 28 - last Tuesday night - by email. GZG processed it Sept 29th, and sent it out that day. It arrived this morning - October 4 - in the mail. That's door to door, UK to Toronto, Canada, in about 5 days, including a weekend. Everything I ordered was there. Most excellent service! Thanks Jon! Hint to everyone - I asked Jon to be sure to write "Metal and Plastic Toys" on the customs label. I don't know what it is like in the USA and Australia, but Canadian customs have a nasty habit of deciding that gaming miniatures are "Art Objects" (I think as soon as they see the word "Miniature" they think of limited edition statuettes, or something) and charging a huge import duty. We were hoping that with the word "Toys" prominantly displayed, Customs would let it through without that huge duty. The package arrived at my house, and I was charged NO import duty at all, so I guess it worked.
