Anyone know anything about SamiRC Norway?

[Siclick33 37]

Does anyone from Norway (or anywhere else) know anything about the shop SamiRC?

They show a couple of discontinued kits in stock that I would like to buy. I’ve emailed them to ask if they ship to the UK but haven’t heard anything back yet.

Does anyone know if they ship overseas? Are their website stock levels generally accurate? Do they (eventually) reply to emails?

Many thanks,

I have ordered from there as late as this week and have used them a lot. No problems so far. I have never emailed or phoned them so far - simply because it has not been necessary. Drop them an e-mail and ask if they do export.

 

I think @simalarion has more experience with them, since this is more or less "in his backyard".

 

PS: rc-deler.no have even more discontinued parts. The ordering from there is not so smooth,  though.

Thanks.

I’ve managed to get a response from someone via FB Messenger, so we’ll see if they reply with a quote. At least I now know that somebody has my query.

In my experience they will come back to you the same day,  but in your case (i think) they may look for a solution sending to UK before coming back to you, this is probably a request they do Not get every day :).

It took a while but I did hear back. The order process was slightly strange, as I don’t think they are set up for international (certainly UK) sales, but they have helped me to place an order.

Now the wait until it arrives.

It appears that Norway is hoarding all of the discontinued models

Hood to hear that it worked out. I have shopped there a lot and have only good experiences. It's good that even export goes smooth .

Well it took a while but they came good.

2x Lowrider Pumpkins, a CC-01 Isuzu Type X and 2 VW Wheelie bus bodies. All unavailable in the UK and most of the ‘bigger’ import shops.

It wasn’t cheap (I think I paid Norway and U.K. tax!), but difficult to get these and probably cheaper than paying second-hand resale prices.
