Basically, for each and any value order placed between now and 20th December, you receive a voucher for free standard UK or international shipping which can be used when placing a subsequent order before the 31st January. The order must be placed by telephone. So if you were looking at making an order around the £200 mark with your subsequent order, you would save £24 in the UK on postage, or more if ordering internationally. Hardly knockout stuff, but you could probably make quite respectable savings if you combine this with a bundle offer such as one of the space marine squads - for example I am looking at buying the MKIV Tactical squad bundle, which would give a combined saving of £45, which is not to be sniffed at. As much as we could hope to expect from FW anyway.

Sounds really good actually, the 15% is usually enough to put me off small orders.

I think 15% postage applies to 'rest of the world' orders, which presumeably includes you foreigners down in Devon :p, UK rates are just a bit cheaper, but still a rip off, particularly when you are making orders that are big but don't quite qualify for free postage over £240 - when all you are paying for is Royal Mail 1st class and a brown cardboard box after all. I tend to be spiteful and split my orders up so they have to package up ten or so items individually, sad I know but it gives me pleasure :D Plus it might convince them one day to put a flat rate on shipping, and on the plus side I also have loads of brown boxes to store stuff in;) The other way you can get round FW's extortionate postage rates is to club together with others from your gaming club and make a single order over £240 that qualifies for free shipping, or simply save your pennies and make one big order every so often.

I might just take advantage of this. Helps with the high cost of FW a little bit at least.

I tend to just get FW stuff if I'm passing nottingham and can call in, then if it's not in stock they ship it foc.

Rather impractical for our colonial brethren though.

I think there's signs that it might once have been civilised… now more like Fallout… ;)
