Anyone have experience ordering directly from Eduard ?
This is not a complaint in any way - just wondering what to expect . I have ordered some photo etch directly from Eduard in the Czech Republic and I am curious about the shipping time to east coast USA .
I chose the most economical method which ,IIRC was Czech Post ( not certain if I am naming it correctly) . I received e mail notification that they received my order and were processing it but that is the only e mail I received. When I logged in on their website and checked my order it says it has been dispatched. No tracking , either on their site or by email notification.
Is this the norm ? Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers- RT

I have done it several times and have no complaints. Shipping takes a while though when you choose the cheapest option.

Richard,
like Erik, I often order directly from Eduard and have also no complaint about their service. The fastest was 3 days from order to delivery. Okay, CZE and GER are neighbours. Ususally they send an e-mail about the status of your order, also with a tracking number when shipped. If you’re not sure what happened to your parcel just contact them. If you have just ordered some PE parts, maybe it’s not a parcel but in an envelope. You won’t get a tracking number then …

Not Eduard specifically but from 3 or 4 European vendors repeatedly. I’m convinced that the major variable in the delivery time is US Customs. I’ve received from the same vendor a package in 4 days, and in 3 weeks, using the same shipping method. Tracked, so some visibility, but the 3 week one sit in some receiving station on the East Coast for a couple of weeks.
I know it’s not Eduard, but I hope this helps…

Got mine yesterday here in NJ - so 12 / 13 days.
Not bad - however $ 22 . Shipping for 2 pieces of photo etch totaling $ 16 . seems a bit steep. I think they could have included tracking for that amount.
Still glad to have them .

I have used SuperHobby out of Poland for many items especially Eduard PE as it is usually cheaper then many US places. Shipping on last item which was basically PE was $4 and change and had a tracking number. Forget get the speed but on pair with what you stated.

For Eduard it really pays to be a Bunny Fighter. You just buy a bunny fighter model (there is a choice so there is usually something interesting) and you get a shirt, this is all full price. After that you have fixed discount on any subsequent orders, and the price beats any other vendor online. Pretty sweet deal, no further fees are needed. And as for tracking, they have it but it is only accessible from their website, if you are logged in it will tell you the tracking code.
