All of our kits comes with fully detailed
instructions and most will have pictures and also
drawings to help put the kit together. Most of
our kits are 5 pages long and a couple are 15
pages. They take you from the very beginning
to the weathering of the kit, just like what is
on our web-site and our labels.
Question # 7:
I have not seen your kits on E-bay lately. Are
you still selling on E-bay?
No. We stopped selling on E-bay on July 3
2009. We are now getting into Hobby shops.
If you have a hobby shop that is near you and
does not carry our line of kits, you can ask
them to get intouch with us or send us the
information.
Question # 8:
Before I buy your kits, how long will it be
before I receive them?
We have a 2 week delay time on shipping
out the kits. 99 % of the time, we ship the
kits out the very next day. We only have
this so that doing busy times we have the
time to produce the kit and the customer
will know how long it may take to receive
their kits.
Question # 9:
If I have a building that I am looking for
someone to make for me, will
Granvillebuildings do it?
Most of the time. Please get intouch with
us and send us pictures of all sides and every
Monday doing our meeting, we will decide if
we can produce it. If we do take the job, it
will take 2 months before we get them into
production.
Question # 10:
I have worked with resin before and some
of the other manufactures that I have
dealed with, had some walls that were
warped in the kit. I had to throw the kit
away. If I buy a kit from you and find a
piece like that, what can I do or what
will Granvillebuildings do?
If you buy one of our kits and find a
piece inside that is warped, you can run
warm water over it and bend it back to
shape. After you have the shape, lay it
down on a flat surface to dry and you
may want to put something heavy on it.
If you are not satified with doing this,
just email us and we will replace the
piece ( s ) for free. No question ask.
