Almost a year after I bought it, this beautiful TSM model finally arrived from Austin! 💙

That looks fantastic! A year is a long wait, though.

Definitely worth the wait Julio, but if it had been me I wouldn't have been able to wait that long.

An example of fine 'art' in 1:43. The color suits it well as does your backdrop Patience paid off Julio.

The models I ordered from Model Car World arrived today! MCW decided not to send me the Duesenberg, the model why I placed this order. They included a note saying that the model was defective and that they had made a refund for it! They could’ve sent me an email and I would’ve cancelled the order! I’ve just sent them a message. I hope that they either send me the model, with no shipping costs or refund me the shipping cost for the two models I received! I’m really mad! This is unbelievable! These two models arrived a few hours ago… 1930 Packard 733 Sport Phaeton, by Neo This is quite a beautiful model! More than I expected it to be! Aston Martin Vantage GT12, by IXO Quite a forgettable model! It was very inexpensive and was sort of a box filler but still, I shouldn’t have bought it. It looks cheap!

Very, very sorry to hear that Julio I too have had these concerns when placing larger orders, especially during sales. Hopefully you'll get some consideration from them. Did you by any chance make a comment before to not send unless the order was complete? Your Packard Sport Phaeton is lovely and distinctly to your collection. The Aston well, it's a good example of why I generally don't like modern black cars and especially this boring trend of black rims

I hope they make some effort to offset you shipping cost, or find you the model you ordered. Not contacting you is poor customer service. Let us know how it turns out.

One of the reasons why I discourage anyone to order from MCW is their poor customer service. A friend recently ordered some models from them, they forgot to send one model then sent him the wrong one, which he had to return before they would send the correct model. He's still waiting for his last model, it’s been three weeks...

These sort of experiences are very frustrating, but at least they didn't send you the defective model. Sadly, some less scrupulous sellers would have sent it anyway and hoped you didn't notice.
At least the 1930 Packard turned out to be better than you expected. It looks fantastic and I hope you hang on to it. As for the Aston Martin, the less said the better.

At least you have the option of buying from MCW, they don't even post to the UK any more. Packard is lovely.

The Aston well, it's a good example of why I generally don't like modern black cars and especially this boring trend of black rims Thanks for your comments, BB! No, I never thought it necessary for me to comment about the order to be complete before shipping it. I assumed it’s obvious, but I guess that I was wrong! About the models, I really loved the Packard and it certainly does fit perfectly in my collection! I hope they make some effort to offset you shipping cost, or find you the model you ordered. Not contacting you is poor customer service. Let us know how it turns out. I do hope they offer me a fair solution! I will surely let you know what happens!

Thanks for your comments, mate! The strange thing is that they still list the defective model as being available, with no sign about it as being their last one available. And, when you consider the 30+ Euro shipping to Mexico for only two models, they should have asked me first! The Aston is quite disappointing, indeed! At least you have the option of buying from MCW, they don't even post to the UK any more. Packard is lovely. Yes, the Packard is indeed a lovely looking model, Will! I was delightfully surprised! And, it’s such a stupid thing for them not to post to the UK! I hope that they reconsider! Frustrating. Hope you get it sorted Julio. I hope so too, mate!
