🚚 NEW Services & Initiatives at Rails of Sheffield

Posted by on

At Rails, we are continuously working to improve how we serve our customers.

 

We have recently launched some new delivery options, initiatives and services that we thought you'd like to hear more about! 

NEW DHL Delivery Option Launched

DHL are helping us to excel with our new Courier services! 


We are able to offer same day despatch AND next day delivery with this service for any orders placed before 1pm on weekdays.


UK DELIVERY: £4.95  

UPDATE: Includes Scottish Highlands and Islands - apologies for any confusion

(Excludes Channel Islands - Jersey & Guernsey) 


Includes Full Track & Trace


INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Stay tuned for Worldwide DHL Services launching soon!

IMPROVED Royal Mail Services Available

To speed up your Royal Mail deliveries, we have now replaced the Tracked 48 Service with Tracked 24!


There is no change to the cost of this postage option but your items will arrive more quickly than before.


UK DELIVERY: £4

NEW Sustainable Packaging

We have also recently taken steps towards improving our environmental responsibility and sustainability. 


As you may have noticed from recent orders, we are now using fully recyclable materials including 100% recyclable cardboard boxes, paper packing tape and sustainable bubble wrap too.

Other Environmental Initiatives

Our main warehouse has been designed to reduce as much environmental impact as possible! 


This includes the use of solar panels on the roof as well as an advanced underfloor heating system which is far more energy efficient than traditional heating methods.

NEW Rails Model Money Trade-In Service

We recently launched our NEW Rails Model Money self-service trade in system. This secondary website at modelrailways.co.uk enables you to quickly build a list of items to trade in using our comprehensive database of 100s of thousands of items and then submit it to our team for a cash or credit offer.

UPDATED Hattons Directory

If you missed browsing the Hattons Directory and shopping at hattons.co.uk, don't worry! The Hattons Directory remains live and you can now find links on product pages to purchase items via Rails if we have them in stock.

Stay Tuned for More

We are always working to improve how we operate here at Rails, so stay tuned for more new services and initiatives in the future. 


We always welcome feedback too - so please do feel free to contact us and let us know your comments or ideas.
