Shipping costs and delivery timescales for all K'NEX User Group online shops are shown below, for:
Calculation of shipping cost
Our website will total the weight of the parts in your order to create a “nett weight” for the order, and then use this nett weight to determine the shipping cost band for the shipping method and delivery address that you have specified.
For example, if you selected “Airmail - not tracked" to a European country, the shipping cost bands might be: up to 90g = €3, 91g-225g = €6, 226g-450g = €8, 451g-675g = €9 and 676g-900g = €10.
Please email us if you have any queries about shipping costs.
