Indeed, books ordered and sent 13Oct; delvd to POBox 29Oct (ie yesterday).

Nothing wrong with that service…
Joy and delight to ensue today…
Four books, quite weighty and therefore costly to mail, but beautifully double packed in plastic wrap, peanuts all around and outer corrugated fully wrapped in tape.

Excellent books, fine condition (though one with printers damage inside) and all wrapped in plastic covers! Superior product and service!

Was recommended to me by a reliable Kiwi mate two years ago living in UK and has received the bulk of my hobby references spending!

We have over 12,000 books listed on this site, and many more waiting to be added. We try to add around 100 new books at the end of each week. If you can't find what you are after, please fill out our off-line search form and we will see if we can find the book for you.

Yep.Excellent operation. Very reliable and great packing. PM has become my go to source for Helion books, given what Helion itself charges for postage.

After I posted above, my latest order arrived a couple of hours later. Again, great service and packing. Way better than another seller in the UK that posts expensive books just in cardboard sleeves and then get snarky when you ask for a replacement for a mangled book.

I have nothing to say____

Agreed, mate. Excellent service and a very good range of older books as well.

Had years of buying from Paul to Australia and have alweays been great transactions.

Been buying from Mr Meekins for years, much more helpful and honest compared to another UK seller. I started trading with him a little while after Athena books closed. Highly recommended.

I have dealt with Paul over the years. His service has always been good where buying is concerned, but! I have dealt with 'quite a few' individuals who sold their collections to me because Paul did not offer a good deal.

OTOH, we all value our own resources at higher than public expectation of cost- ergo being a responsible trader also means maintaining the very critical balance of stock vs sales income, and being in business to enjoy it.

Pauls 'library' is his cost to bear, and choice to offer. Denigrating his offerings doesn't mean the rest of us won't get bargains we want. I'm not having to spend amounts on models, so my discretionary income goes to filling my knowledge gaps in the period I've not purchased anything military.

I told someone my library was worth 10k if they wanted it.

Yes, it's easy to think that you've been offered too little when similar books are on sale for £30.00 GBP But he'll have some of those books forever.

I've just purchased a book from Paul Meekins. Quick email acknowledgement of my order and information that the book had been posted. The book arrived, securely packed, two days later. I can only concur with other posters that is excellent service. I'll certainly use Paul Meekins again.

Ditto – Just got my latest purchase, on time, a couple days ago. Great service and packing.

Would highly recommend Paul Meekins. Great service, books well protected and always arrived quickly.

Apologises for double post. Not sure why that happened?

Again high priase for promptness and delivery to NZ from UK.

My follow up order [two books] for two necessary projects that may or may not have needed 'tweaking' shall be assured of improvements thanks to booth books received.

"Received today and poured over eagerly with my morning coffee and pain au chocolat!
Excellent condition in superior waterproofed packing etc."

cheers all

I would like to add my praise for Paul Meekins. I placed 3 large order in March and they all arrived promptly, in perfect condition and very well-packed. Each book is in a waterproof sleeve and often the books are in a small box inside the large box. This is a company which cares about customer service.

I discovered this resource when I was looking for books about the Cold War and was very satisfied. I was lacking material for personal research when I was writing my essay and Paul Meekins saved the day. I saw my work at gradesfixer.com/free-essay-examples/cold-war and I think it's a kind of recognition. The only thing I lacked was free material on my topic, because it is not always profitable for me to buy a lot of history books. If anyone knows similar resources with free articles with the same amount of information, I will be very happy if someone will share.
