Order & Delivery

PRICE

The price of the Machine, including international power supply and travel box is £7300 UK pounds Sterling.

MODE OF PAYMENT

As this is a personalised hand-crafted delivery of a somewhat valuable and fragile work of art, payment is therefore made on a COD (cash on delivery) basis.

The airfare from Aberdeen Scotland to the recipient‘s location is added to the Machine cost as the delivery fee. No down payment or reservation fee is required when ordering and securing an edition placement booking for a Machine.

The hand-carried option guarantees an intact and undamaged condition upon delivery and a COD transaction allows the recipient to inspect and approve of the product before acceptance.

If the Machine should be rejected by the recipient, it must be established and agreed upon that the airfare/delivery fee is reimbursed in fairness.

There has never been a rejection of a Machine.

If the recipient’s delivery location is further than an 8530km/5300 miles radius from Aberdeen, then a third-party delivery service (DHL) may be considered. The payment in this case is designed for the safety of both parties.

Production of this meticulously engineered, hand assembled Machine cannot be rushed, but as a numbered subscriber within this production you will be kept informed with estimated delivery time updates as we progress toward your number.  You will know when work begins, and then, after it is completed, I will contact you and arrange a time and place to present you with your Machine.

Smartly Packaged

Cushioned by foam inserts inside a sturdy cardboard box the well made yet fragile Machine can be safely transported, by an aware individual. This way of personal delivery has proven to be the most efficient, economical and safest method of shipment. The alternative is to send it through an insured freighter of fine art whose charges are quite disproportionate to the price of the Machine.  Furthermore, they do not guarantee safe delivery, they will only insure it.

 

At well over four-hundred and sixty hours to make, an insurance pay-out is very poor compensation for a broken Machine as the value of these works is so much more than their price.

Personal Delivery

Personal delivery also provides the opportunity to meet. I must admit that I derive a great amount of job satisfaction in presenting the anticipated Time Machine to its recipient. I especially enjoy seeing the expression on their face the moment the Machine is placed on the table in front of them, and then again when the power is switched on.

Delivery Costs

It is just the airfare that is the delivery fee. Overnight accomodation and expenditures are funded from the Machine sales price and are not charged to the recipient.

    The safest way to guarantee sale and purchase protection.

    This model issue of The Time Machine is available exclusively from Granite City Mechanician, Aberdeen, Scotland and in this case, sourced only through this website.  One cannot help but to have doubting suspicions buying anything sight-unseen through the internet especially if the item is an expensive one.  For these reasons  the hand-carried , COD method has proven to be the surest and safest way, offering the most control to both buyer ans seller. It is the tried and true method that has always worked. However, if the only recourse is a boxed shipment via a reliable third party escrow service has been chosen to insure the buyer is happy with the product before payment is made and that the seller receives payment after the mutually agreed transaction contract is fulfilled.
