Rails Of Sheffield Opiniões 

Great service from the team in the prompt and helpful way they helped me to trade in my HO American outline models, and the swift payment that allowed me to order up more O gauge items for my British Rail western region layout.
Highly recommended and dependable service.

I have been buying from Rails online for many years and they are always helpful and very knowledgeable. I had some missing couplings from a set of wagons that I purchased from Rails and asked them to step in and help sort it out as the manufacturer was not cooperating with me. They were happy to help and have managed to sort it out. A big thank you to Rails, as always very helpful.

Very good communication given, I wrote to 4 suppliers only rails came back to me. Offered a very fair price and paid for postage would recommend highly

Very satisfied with the interaction and efficient service from the Second Hand Department.

Bought a gift voucher as a Christmas gift. Beware - all you receive is an email with a smart code. Which I'm sure works to provide value to the amount paid. But as a gift - it's pretty rubbish gifting a smart code. I expected a nicely formatted printable gift card with spaces to write to, from, a gift message - none of that. Given I was gifting to an elderly relative who barely knows what a smart code is, I felt really embarrassed handing over this sorry excuse for a 'gift voucher'.

Absolutely fantastic , service in every avenue and aspect was totally utterly flawless.. amazing staff .. rapid actions and responses to emails and either things being physically collected from your property or delivery is spot on as well in very good time.
They really prioritise and dedicate themselves around you and your experience with them and things just always go so well when selling or buying from these guys.
100% Recommend.

The team were incredibly helpful and attentive and showed a passion for customer service. Would highly recommend.

Excellent service had some trains etc from father that was not needed rather than throwing away sold to rails, good service arranged collection and then credited the amount agreed 10/10

Very helpful and friendly staff and prompt service the whole experience went smoothly and quickly, i was really impressed.

Awful! DO NOT PREORDER WITH THEM! They do not do their job the best!

I have dealt with postal suppliers of model railways since the 1960s including Hattons of Liverpool. Rails of Sheffield have taken up their mantle and offer a service just as good but updated to take advantage of new technologies.
Recently I needed to 'cull' an oversize locomotive collection and used Rails excellent facilities. On the same day I listed my engines a good offer was made and accepted. Collection by Parcelforce was arranged two days later and the parcel delivered within 24 hours, all at no cost to myself. Funds soon followed by bank transfer.
I have recommended Rails in the past and will continue to do so. Their service, range and knowledge is second to none.

Like many of us 'boomers' I had a small railway setup as a child and then forgot about it...enter Bachmann in the 1990's and I went a bit wild and amassed a lot of items. I was able to buy locos and rolling stock at will and loved every moment of it. Sadly my dreams always exceeded my capabilities, my wife never really shared the dream and I have sadly had to part with it all.
Rails of Sheffield provided my exit strategy, 9 pages of items !! but very quickly made an offer which was very reasonable, paid for postage and insurance, and at no time put any pressure on me. All items were mailed and within 48 hours the offer was confirmed, money in bank 24 hours later. There is no part of the service that could be faulted, communication is excellent and prices fair, I give 5 stars, but it deserves 6!!

Great service from Rails of Sheffield, both buying and selling

*** 2nd EDIT ***
The package arrived this evening, have upgraded the review to 3 stars as holding RoS to account for Parcelforce dreadful comms and tracking would be unfair.

*** EDIT ***
Have just received a reply from RoS apologising for the delivery problems and giving a refund of the Parcelforce delivery charge. However, still no idea where the package is at this point in time. Upgraded from 1 to 2 stars.

Sellers of express trains, but no express delivery.

Ordered a loco well before their 1pm cut off for next day delivery and ordered their Parcelforce 24 service, guaranteed next day delivery. At the end of the day the item should have been received Parcelforce still didn't have the package from Rails (I called PF and checked their online tracking - no tracking events recorded). Followed up with an email to RoS that evening, as of 11am this morning (now Friday after placing the order on Wednesday). There's still no reply to my email asking what was happening with my order. So I'm none the wiser as to whether this has even been posted. If you do order from them just get whatever the cheapest service is, they're mis-selling their express services and will just stick your order in the post when they feel like, it would seem.

I would award Rails with six stars if that were possible. I have previously bought from Rails with confidence on a number of occasions and have just sold a couple of items to them for the first time. Excellent price and service. I cannot fault them.

Wanted to sell some of my OO guage railway. Had a quick reply to my initial email and after agreeing the price payment was made the sameday.
Very efficient and helpful.

I had excellent service from Rails of Sheffield as regards items I sold to them. Having sent them a list of the items, they responded quickly and offered me a good price. They offered to uplift the items from me free of charge by means of Parcel Force. They tested the items immediately they received them, and they paid me by bank transfer on the next banking day.

Don't bother trying to email these guys with a question - they just don't reply, even when prompted to by telephone. It's a pity since they're now so large. I've gone elsewhere

Good communication along the process and efficient, fair sale of goods

First time dealing with Rails of Sheffield, where I opted to ‘trade in’ model railway items which I had stored for many years.
After contacting the company, they replied promptly, setting out the process I could go through to obtain an offer for the kit I wished to sell.
The process was straightforward and a provisional valuation placed on the items. I felt the offer was fair and Rails arranged for them to be uplifted by Parcelforce, all I had to do was securely pack it, my package was uplifted as arranged, even down to the labelling.
Rails confirmed receipt, and then arranged the monetary transfer to my account.
A pretty smooth and satisfactory experience.
