Nicholas Smith Trains Preorder Policy

At Nicholas Smith Trains, we believe in making your next favorite locomotive or railcar as easy to reserve as it is to admire. Preordering with us is simple, secure, and designed with railfans in mind.

What Is a Preorder?

A preorder allows you to reserve an upcoming release before it arrives in our inventory. These items are often produced in limited quantities, and preordering helps guarantee availability.

By placing a preorder, you are authorizing Nicholas Smith Trains to charge your saved payment method once the item is in stock and ready to ship. This action forms an agreement to complete the purchase upon product arrival, ensuring we reserve that item just for you.

How It Works

• No upfront payment required – Your card is charged only when the product is in stock and ready to ship.
• You’ll receive an order confirmation as soon as you place the preorder.
• We use your saved payment method, and we’ll reach out if anything needs to be updated.

Pricing Changes

On rare occasions, manufacturers may adjust their prices before release. If this affects your preorder, we’ll notify you before shipping so you can confirm your purchase.

Multiple Preorders?

We’ll combine shipments if multiple preorder items become available at the same time, helping you save on shipping. However, we can’t hold items waiting for others—each product ships as soon as it’s ready.

Cancelling or Updating

Things change—we get it. If you need to cancel or update your preorder, simply reach out to us as early as possible at [insert your contact email or phone here]. Frequent or last-minute cancellations, however, may affect future preorder privileges.

A Few Final Details

• Credit or debit card info is required at checkout to reserve your preorder.
• Zero deposit down on all preorders.
• All sales are subject to availability and manufacturer delivery timelines.
• Shipping may vary depending when the item arrives compared to when it was placed.
