We normally send merchandise packages by Royal Mail 2nd class or AirMail.
You can now choose to add a small payment for either 2nd class Signed For or next day Special Delivery (within the UK), or International Tracked And Signed. Just click on Postage Options to add a service to your order.
NOTE: These extra services are not available for club membership or Silva Screen products.
Last year we introduced a new price band for shipping to the USA, as postage prices had risen so sharply to that territory. We subsequently added Australia, Japan and New Zealand as postage steadily increased to there too.
Now, the difference in postage to various territories outside Europe is once again negligible, so we’re simplifying things and returning to our former three options for postage and packing – UK, Europe, and Rest of the World. Most ‘Rest Of The World’ prices have stayed the same, though a few have changed a little (some up, some down). FAB Express 104 details all the new prices.
Fanderson is delighted to, once again, be able to meet fans of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s work at this year’s event at Cromford Mills on Sunday 13th August.
Now entitled Comic Con, the event promises an intergalactic display of models, props, puppets and costumes from classic sci-fi productions of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Blake’s 7, Star Trek, Stranger Things, Star Wars… and beyond!
Fans of all ages are encouraged to dress up for the cosplay competition and explore the site showing off their creations. There will be stalls selling everything from comics and toys to replica props and clothing. They’ll also have photo opportunities, gaming, activities, Lego displays, and much much more.
It’s sure to be out of this world and a great day for the entire family – and entry is free! Come along to the Fanderson table and say “hello”!

Our spring mailing went in the post to all Fanderson members today.
FAB Express 103 should soon start landing in current members’ homes, and will be included in the welcome package for new members along with FAB Annual 2023.

We’re planning for FAB Express 104 to follow in the summer. That mailing will also include details of how to renew your membership in time to be included in the winter mailing and get FAB Annual 2024!
Keep your eye out for the postie!
New, and produced exclusively for Fanderson club members, are two new key ring designs.
Choose from TV Century 21 or Moonbase Alpha metal key rings, each with a new-design ring that makes it easier to add or remove keys, hang on a belt loop etc.
Both designs are available right now from Fanderson Sales.
Christmas is a time for giving, so from 1st December we’ll be giving club members special offers each day in our online advent calendar, right up to Christmas Eve, and raising money for charity.
Some items have been donated by our generous friends, and we’ve been checking our storage units, cupboards (even down the back of the sofa!) to collect some great offers for Fanderson members. We’ll have product discounts, charity raffles, freebies, lucky dips, charity auctions, and you’ll be able to get some items in return for a donation to our advent charity – Hearing Dogs For Deaf People.
Come back on 1st December to open the first window!
We are absolutely delighted to report that our winter mailing is now underway.
We’re hoping the packages will navigate their way through the ongoing postal disruption in the UK, so that Fanderson members around the world will be enjoying our latest FAB Express (issue 102) plus FAB Annual 2023 in time for Christmas.
As part of our updated membership package launched this summer, FAB Express is published each spring, summer and winter, with a hardback FAB Annual in the winter mailing too. Everyone’s membership expired in the summer, and we’re chuffed that over 80% renewed their membership before the 1st October deadline (that’s one of our best-ever renewals!).
We’ve also heard from a few members who realise they’ve missed the deadline. Of course, we’ll see what we can do to help them to ensure they don’t miss out.
Keep your eye out for the postie!
Fanderson has improved the way we handle merchandise orders.
By relocating our merchandise mailing operation we’ll better keep our costs under control. Also, from today, orders will shows as ‘Complete’ in your online club account*, so you will know that your order is on its way.
* Unfortunately, we’re currently unable to show ‘complete’ for memberships or Silva Screen products in your order, though we intend to add this just as soon as we can. If your order includes any of these products, the ‘complete’ status does not apply to them.
Today’s the last day for Fanderson members to renew their memberships for 2022/3!
In FAB 100, mailed back in May, we explained that as part of our changes to the membership package, all memberships would expire with the then upcoming FAB Express 101.
All copies of FAB Express 101 mailed in August were accompanied by a letter to explain the changes again, and invite everyone to renew their membership by 1st October. The letter also included details of how we were ensuring those owed issues of FAB under their existing membership would not be out of pocket, and coupon codes included in letters expire today.
We need all renewals in by 1st October so that we can plan to produce the right number of FAB Annual 2023. Producing too many copies would be a waste of members’ money, so we won’t be over-printing for those who don’t renew their membership in time.
We close the database at midnight tonight, so if you haven’t yet renewed your membership (including Friends of Fanderson), get your skates on and do it now!
If you still need a nudge, here’s all five preview pages of the Annual that we’ve shared this week…
Fanderson’s all-new FAB Annual 2023 will be sent to all club members in our winter mailing.
If you haven’t yet renewed your membership since FAB Express 101, you’ve only got until 1st October to be included in the winter mailing and get your copy of the FAB Annual. This 100-page, A4 hardback book includes features on all your favourite Gerry and Sylvia Anderson productions, with a few surprises too!
To ensure we don’t waste members’ money, we won’t be over-printing FAB Annual in case anyone renews after the 1st October deadline. Don’t miss out – if you haven’t already done so, renew your membership now!
