N scale GT26CW-2

[Beersheva70414]

Hi,
I recently found out Ajin (Same guys that make brass locos, right?) make an N scale class 7400 (GT26CW-2), which would be an excellent starting point for making an Israeli version.
Problem is, I have zero experience with Korean model train stores. I found it for sale at one called The Train , are they reputable?
I can't figure out how to do anything on their page except put my desired item in the cart. Could somebody please explain to me, step by step how to order something with international shipping from this website? Or could somebody recommend a more navigable site with this train?
Thanks!

@Beersheva70414 That may be a hard one. If you use translate option built into the browsers it shows each of the 3 dcc options you have to fill in for the model to purchase as Sold Out. It looks like these use a Korean payment system which I am guessing does not work outside Korea or Korean banks possibly.

 

We have not had a lot of talk on the forums about buying trains from Korean stores and dont think this one has come up in the past, but maybe someone lurking the forums may have some info.

 

Have you tried calling or emailing them? They really do not seem to be set up to do international orders on the website, it all appears to be all domestically oriented. They do have some wording in their terms that mentions having to contact them for any special ordering, shipping, etc, which im sure an international order will be. Some shops like this will do special international export orders, but they do not do them on their websites. Hopefully someone in the store speaks some english to communicate. Other small stores just dont do export as the language issue can be a problem as well as support if anything damaged can cause big issues and export shipping can be a hassle in some places that small shops just dont want to deal with [this happened a few years back in the us when the customs forms ballooned in size an time to deal with them]. International banking/transfer fees can also be high for many of them.
