Q. Why is there a minimum spend for non-UK destinations?

A. Our shopping cart is fairly basic and only allows us to make a flat charge for P&P based on how much is spent. The cart cannot calculate different postage charges for different locations, so we are left with setting the P&P rates together with a minimum order spend so we achieve the best compromise we can for our customers. The inability of the cart to handle different postage locations costs us approximately 40% of our business and leaves many potential customers frustrated, so the problem is one that costs us dearly. We paid a professional website design company £1000 to correct this cart problem but sadly they failed to deliver. We have also consulted with two professional website builders and both were unable to guarantee a solution but demanded an upfront fee. We paid an upfront fee in our initial attempt to resolve the problem, and the lesson was learnt, so for now we are left with the system we have. In order to get best value for money whatever your location might be, we recommend you search the site to get a good understanding of the parts we have available before placing your order. We have over 12,000 lines including some of the best value parts available on the internet. We sell a range of Lego base boards and other popular Lego items such as Lego minifigures, minifigure accessories, Lego light bricks, motors and much more.
