Yes, if you ask the price for each item individually, they should tell you. I've only made one order, but that worked for me! What other sorts of parts did you order?

... received part number 30 67 0440 which is the caravan body 30 67 4640 - Body of camper trailer including the door.

Could you double-check that, Graham? I have 30 67 0440 - Van roof with 2 skylight openings and back lights, from 3925 Ambulance.

Sorry, my mistake- too many numbers. I received 30 67 4420 Wohnanhanger (body of camper and door) instead of the door alone.

One more part for the DB - thanks Graham.

I'm getting lost here, Graham.  Did you actually receive what you had ordered then?

Yes, I received the door for the camper trailer (caravan) which I ordered, but only because it came attached to the much larger
camper trailer body (which I didn't order) as an 'automatic substitution'. As this cost £15, I felt it was not a reasonable substitution and PM agreed to refund the cost when I send back the part. So I have a caravan with no door still!

From this I have learnt it is probably a good idea to request an itemised list of items to be supplied before paying for the order.

Might have been better to keep the door and try selling the camper body on ebay. :lol:

I made another order today (9:14 am) and asked in my email
"It would be helpful if you could send me an itemised invoice so I can check any possible substitutions. If this is not possible, perhaps you could let me know any parts costing over £3."
I hoped this might elicit the sort of itemised costs Walt-Trains alluded to:

D.S in the U.K. will give you the cost of each item if you ask, or if you send an email ask what each item costs.

I got a prompt response (11:39 am)  :) with a list of parts not available and part numbers of three items costing £3.70, £3.70 and £2.75  (no surprises given what they were- Roof piece and wallpaper for Modern House 3965 and a Klicky respectively). Not quite an itemised list  :-\ but better than being charged £15 for an automatic substitution, so I'm happy. :)

The order included 14 different hairpieces (wigs) and only one (silver chainmail) was unavailable, so I'm pleased about that too  :) - DS in the US has not always been this helpful in the past e.g. this from 2009:

Hi everyone,

Just tried to place an order yesterday for various parts plus hair and was told that you could no longer order hair...you have to buy the kliky to get hair.   I figure they must be trying to stop refurbishing of used parts.

and more recent experiences of parts ordering in US and Europe. Just goes to show how the service varies in different parts of the world!
