I am working on a new system for placing pre-orders on the website and ordering out-of-stock products: 'Special Orders'.

Ordering out-of-stock items on the website was possible before the pandemic, but unfortunately that was not successful. More than half of the orders were cancelled after arrival. This while at that time everything was shipped quite quickly by air to New Zealand and in a period, when suppliers had a good stock level.

Nowadays a lot comes in by sea transport and many suppliers and manufacturers do not have everything in stock.

The new system will therefore have some restrictions. I will start with suppliers, who have a reliable stock and can deliver reasonably quickly.

I would like to start with the following brands:

- Noch (landscaping items and HO scale model railway)
- Warhammer 40,000
- Hornby
- Scalextric
- Fujimi
- AMT

Note: placing 'special orders' is not fully operational yet.
If you are interested in trying out 'Special Orders', please let me know. 'Special Orders' needs to be activated per customer.
