Huh... So that’s why I haven’t seen a new binder for a while.

Stupid question... does the UK store ship to the US? I just found out that they have 2 of the 3 remaining ships from the Main Line I still need that the US store does not have.
Not with my wages. I work two jobs, and everything goes to bills
They used to, years ago, before they started expanding their operations to other markets. You might be able to get it to work, although IIRC their site usually does geo-blocking to redirect your web request to the correct server location. You might not be allowed to order anything from the UK site anymore unless you get a proxy server that bounces the request through a UK router. Even then, that country’s site may no longer support “foreign” addresses.

I (and I'm sure others) can easily change the store from the default (European) shop to an alternative (UK, US etc) shop and order from there using a proxy address service (such as Parcel Motel) while paying in that stores currency.

So I need a VPN?
If you want to use one, sure, why not, but I've never needed one to order from my non-default eaglemoss shop.

For that kind of browsing, I usually use the Tor browser, but I have yet to find a way to specify which node/country to bounce my traffic through. It always picks my routers for me.
What is the deal on Eaglemoss' tracking system? The email they sent me contained a code which is not recognizable to USPS. The package should deliver in the next two days, but I have no shipping updates to verify (and Eaglemoss CS was not forthcoming with anything new).
Hmm.. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever tried using one of their tracking numbers.
UK deliveries!
Shuttle Set 7
STO issues 09 and 10, USS Europa and IKS Mogh
DSC special Starbase 1
KEL USS Enterprise in XL.
I didn't think it based on the webshop previews, but the XL "JJ Prise" (that's how it's named on the shipping paper) looks much better than the original Special. I hope it does well so that Eaglemoss finds it financially viable to create a new CG for the Enterprise--A from Beyond.

I think if you use the code in the email and go to their website you can find the tracking code for the actual shipping service (believe they use both UPS and USPS).
Just got the Pike Cage Enterprise special. They got the correct bussards and main dish but I am quite befuddled why they chose to go with the production-era bridge dome. 
Regula One and Shiva showed up at my door at 7AM this morning.
Eaglemoss's USPS Tracking number still gives me a result of "We don't know where TF this is."
Shuttle Set 7 shipped two days later so I expect it to show up Thursday or Friday.

I mean, the ship is physically good quality. But it’s selling point was to reproduce the look of “The Cage” Enterprise. I remember the excitement when the CGI of that ship was unveiled at DST 2019.
Bridge aside, it's still not accurate. Even ignoring the hundred little differences with windows and vents and minor colour differences, the neck should be blue, the endcaps should be smooth and the ventral saucer hull should have thick black markings port and starboard.
What’s worse, is that the magazine shows the correct bridge dome! So they had the right model, they just decided to go on the cheap and use existing already-molded parts without making new ones to keep it accurate. They did the same thing with the Excelsior, when they had the corrected wide-body secondary hull in the magazine, but still used the narrow-body hull for the physical model.It’s a pity.

Actually yes, it was. If you ever catch a look at the Diamond Select Cage Enterprise, you will find it to be quite accurate, including the duck-egg blue neck. It’s a subtle difference from the rest of the gray-green body, but it’s definitely there.
