January 2013

Below you will find the current Micro-Trains© Z-Scale Releases. We expect our first delivery for the
month to arrive on the third business day of the month. We ask that you place your order On-Line
so that we receive them before 8am on that day!

Weathered cars are typically announced between the 12th 14th and 17th of the month and Pre-Order pricing expires when they arrive here. Please Pre-Order IMMEDIATELY when weathered cars are announced!

Pre-Order pricing applies until the time listed above, or when we are unable to get any more,
whichever is earlier.

Current releases are included below.

If you MUST send an e-mail inquiry, copy & paste the entire description TEXT ONLY (NO pictures!) from the item you are ordering into your e-mail.
It will save time and reduce confusion in determining what you are inquiring about.
With the quantity of lines we carry it's not possible to memorize all of them.

Be sure you review our terms pages before placing your order:
First: Terms Page One   Then: Terms Page Two  Finally: Terms Page Three

If you place an order, you have agreed to our terms.

Please Note:

First:  Some Micro-Trains releases can be limited and run out at M-TL in the first 1-2 days of the month.

Second:  Occasionally M-TL allocates orders and even when we order additional quantities beyond our Auto-Ship quantities on the first day of
orders at 7:00am we do not receive all we ordered.  If this happens this month, we may be forced to allocate to our reservations based on timing of
the Pre-Order. If the customer requests multiple copies of an item they may be limited.

Third:  Beginning with the June 2008 releases Micro-Trains© Line delivers auto-ship quantities "simultaneously" across the United States. 
Our shipment should arrive on the second or third business day of the month. This means that our window for reservations is now shorter. 
Once they arrive here, stock pricing applies.  Please try to place your reservations by close of business on the first business day of the month.  For
most of our customers this will not be an issue. 

Fourth:  As always, if you have Pre-Ordered (via e-mail with confirmation) an entire run of a series we will pre-order enough of those items to
always fill your order.  Also customers who order complete monthly releases are assured of getting theirs as well.

Stock Checks:

Inventory is a fluid commodity.  It changes by the hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson. When we held items for customers’ orders, the order never materialized 80%+ of the time.  We lost out on the orders placed while the item was on hold.  Also we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items are available and if possible attempt to locate what we don’t have while you are on the phone.
