Anyway, I ordered it yesterday afternoon at a cost of £36.95, which for a Phoenix 200, I thought to be pretty darn reasonable, and opted to use standard delivery, much to my surpirse this morning the postman knocked on my door with said Lufty 733. Upon opening it to find the model, and a receipt, showing I had been charged £42.45, an extra £5.50 for postage which was not quoted in the final email confirmation which showed the total cost.
A shame really considering the time in which the item was dispatched and level of service.
Anyway, just thought I should let you know for anyone thinking of ordering from ARD for the first time, but otherwise their service can not be faulted.

hi, postage is always charged when the models is being dispatched, it gives a few notes on this when going through the checkout
i know where your comming from, trying to guess what postage costs are can be annoying, but i think 5.50 for a 1/200 is ok, some sellers have started charging that for one 1/400
