I see lots of UK locations but airmail shipping is brutal.

Are there no US distributors at all?

Just a heads up, shipping from the UK is normally reasonable, and I think Black Hat Miniatures more or less owns that line now? I wouldn't be too worried about getting it domestically. I've not looked at their shipping prices in a while, but more often than not shipping from the UK is cheaper than domestic US shipping.

The shopping cart currently adds a cost based on the dollar value of your order. But our policy is unchanged: we only charge you what the post office charges us. We will automatically refund any excess shipping. Please note that regardless of what the actual cost is, you will never pay more than that amount...

I was referencing Black Hat, etc. I've never looked at Scale Creep, but generally speaking I find UK shops have exceptionally reasonable shipping...and often free if over 75-100 quid. Conversely I've found many US companies tend to choose the most expensive shipping option available to them (UPS, FedEx etc. in place of USPS, etc.).

At a glance, Black Hat has "meh" shipping, at roughly 10 pounds for my US address for nine paints, 7 pounds for six paints, etc. So nothing earth shattering. Always worth looking though. I think some people immediately discount international vendors because they expect US styled shipping costs.

It does not appear Black Hat will save you heaps in shipping though, after reviewing their page.

I was just giving him the shipping info from Scale Creep and since he says "... we only charge you what the POST OFFICE charges us..." I would say that he uses the USPS. I've never ordered from him, but I have bought from him in person when he had a small shop in Cincinnati. He's a great guy and even once opened a set of VMC paint chips he had for sale so I could decide which color I needed for the WW2 British I was working on at the time.
