Introduction of minimum spend on paint and related products

Store News

Unfortunately due to the increase in orders being made for single pots of paint, particularly using credit cards, we have had to introduce a minimum spend limit for all items in the restricted surface shipping list (basically paints, thinners etc). The cost of credit card fees for these low value sales was removing any profit from the sales and making it unviable to continue selling these items. We have now set the minimum value at £6.54 which is the equivalent of 3x 10ml pots of Mr Hobby/Mr Color acrylic paint pots. If the order value is less than this then...

Royal Mail price rises 2023

Royal Mail have announced that they will be raising their prices as of the 3rd April 2023. We have previously absorbed the cost of the RM price rises (and the rising cost of packaging).

BlackMike Models have suspended Overseas sales

BlackMike Models have suspended Overseas sales

Due to the increasing restrictions on everyday business operations during the current COVID19 crisis we have taken the sad decision to suspend all overseas sales. The extra processing and handling that is required to dispatch overseas sales puts us into contact with more people than our domestic post system requires so is deemed to be at a higher risk of transmission of the virus. The shops that act as Drop Off points for the various Courier services we use are being ordered to close as of tomorrow so this also adds another complication that we don't need at this point in time. ...
