PRICES
Relatively the same – some Internet sites can be cheaper by £10 although postal charges actually make them more expensive. Rhubarb and Custard are always the price the Dolls House Emporium suggest (where most of all our Dolls Houses are from), we also offer the same monthly offers as they do. We also offer a 5% discount on all new houses if payment is paid in cash and everytime you purchase a house from ourselves, whether new or vintage, you are then entitled to 10% discount on all dolls house purchases from then on.
HOUSES
We sell the best houses on the market and through our showroom models you can see the quality that they are. Through the Internet you cannot see what quality they are. We have a large range of houses and also offer you the chance to purchase vintage houses that have a lot of history behind them.
DELIVERY
Internet deliveries can take up to 28 days, although most are around 5 days. You can pay extra for next day delivery putting up the price even more. Rhubarb and Custard houses are delivered within 3 days and at most times can be delivered on the next working day.
ADVICE
Rhubarb and Custard offer free advice on all areas of dolls houses, we give you tips and the best way to make this hobby an enjoyable one. We give this on a one to one basis and do not charge for this, we even can show you examples of what is needed. Internet advice is extremely different – most advice is done through emails or telephone and therefore losing out on many aspects of seeing what is needed and examples in front of you. Most sites only offer basic advice, whereas Rhubarb and Custard have had experience in Dolls Houses for over 20 years.
AFTER SALES SERVICE
We offer a very personal after sales service; we also can give you this at a time that suits you. When you purchase a house from ourselves you also get 10% discount on all future Dolls House purchases saving you £’s in the future – a lot more than £10 when you first purchase a house (if you buy it from the internet).
CHRISTMAS CLUB
Rhubarb and Custard offer a club facility on all our Dolls Houses and Accessories. You can put a deposit as little as £20 down to secure a house and then pay the balance when you wish to – this can be done by instalments or a lump sum. We make sure you get the best deal that is right for – for example a Lady saved over £200 on a Dolls House and accessories for Christmas in 2009.
BUILDING/DECORATING/LIGHTING
Unlike Internet sites we can build, decorate and put light in your Dolls House when you require. We can also build children’s Dolls Houses that are purchased from us by us at no extra charge.
CHRISTMAS/BIRTHDAYS
We can keep your Dolls House you have purchased right up to the last minute and can be collected right up to 10.30pm on any evening. This helps children not seeing their gift until the actual big day. This is an ideal situation at Christmas, and was used on most of our houses last Christmas.
