The flat rate 50% only applies to orders paid upfront by IMO, bank
cheque,
cash etc - we have to set it high so that orders that end up being heavy
(eg: ones containing resin kits) have enough postage sent, otherwise
we'd
have to go back to some customers and ask for more money, which wouldn't
work!
 If you pay by credit card, however, we calculate the postage when the
order is packed and weighed, and we only charge your card for the cost
of
the actual postage plus a small amount for packing and handling - the
end
result, especially on smallish orders of figures, is that the p&p
charged
is often only in the range of 10-20% of the order value.

Hope this helps,

PS: Yes, the online catalogue is pretty much up to date, though Im just
about to send Paul Owen the very latest updates so he can get them up on
the site in the next few days.
PPS: Don't forget that US (and other non-EU) customers get to subtract
14.9% off the list prices anyway (on everything EXCEPT books) because
you
don't have to pay the VAT that is included in all figure prices, so
you're
already getting a pretty good deal!
