Two things I noticed:

1) You can no longer buy Vallejo paints in combination with their free shipping over x pounds offer

2) You generally cannot buy like a half dozen or more paint pots in one order as they only limit you to 4 now

What gives?

I ordered quote a few paints back in April or May, so this seems to be recent.

Where do you guys buy these paints for cheap?

This is due to a policy brought in by the UK's postal service earlier this year limiting the amount of paint that can be sent through the mail in a single package.

Yup. I assume that did for their free shipping over £X too, 'cos that could involve a lot of paint bottles.

We're not too happy about it over here, either. There've been petitions about it an' all. But apparently privatising Royal Mail to gouge anyone who wants five piddling pots of paint is going to save the economy.

You can buy more than 4 pots per order, but the package then comes by courier b y default.

Thank you so much Cameron and co. for selling off the Royal Mail, we all love having to pay more money for a worse service
