Recent years have seen the happy rise of interest in historical recreation, heritage conservation and historical knowledge by the general public. We all know the traditional informative effect of cinema, documentaries and museums, the massive entry into the market of the historical novel and the dissemination of content on the internet and social networks was added, which has generated an increase in interest in recreating history . We historical reenactors celebrate the fact that different reenactment groups flourish throughout Spain, reliving the most important events and periods of our history and even of universal history. Collectors also applaud having extensive assortments and detailed online catalogs that allow us to select the pieces that will be exhibited on the well-cared shelves of our home or office. All this is also applicable to heritage management companies, setting, educational centers, museums and public entities. For the development of our exciting hobbies and professions, we need to obtain historical replicas more adapted to our needs. We need quality replicas, with the specifications and characteristics consistent with archaeological dating and scientific evidence, with the endorsement of sources, records and specialists. At the same time, we all have to adjust the budget to our economic capacity (nobody has money to spare) and not go over the budget, if we don't want to go hungry in exchange for recreating. But to what extent is it easy, safe and reliable to buy history online? ?
Let's get to work. We sit down in front of our computer, we rub our hands and we start looking for a reliable, fast and safe supplier that provides an extensive and detailed catalog of replicas, with good images and descriptions of all the characteristics of the products. With a fast and secure online store, adapted to mobile technologies and with a telephone service capable of offering all the necessary advice to the customer. If you also have fast delivery times that allow us to have the replica at home in time for our next event, we will be facing the quality levels that a true lover of history deserves.
Why buy online does not become a high-risk activity, it is worth remembering that, no matter how friendly our provider is, as online consumers, we are assisted by the rights set forth in Law 34/2002, of July 11, on services of the information society and electronic commerce, often very unknown by Internet users. This includes aspects such as having, prior to purchase, all the necessary information about the product, such as price, measurements, weight, characteristics and functionalities. Other information is also required by law in advance, such as the maximum delivery times, the conditions of purchase and the requirements for changes, returns and withdrawals. What a good impression it gives us that the company is located in Spain and, in addition, is duly identified, providing information about its partners, address or registration and tax data. In this case, we will be facing the best scenario for the historical re-enactor to add their desired replicas to the cart.
From here, we appreciate a quick navigation, with clear and explanatory menus, categories and sections and product files that have all the historical information available on the replica. At the time of proceeding with the payment we have to demand (indeed, demand) some secure payment protocols , with SSL certificates of the highest level of trust and encryption. We must verify this just when landing on the web page, at which time our browser notifies us, with a small green padlock, if the page is secure and its communications are properly encrypted and encrypted.
Once the order is paid, we get nervous. Our emotional stability will appreciate being kept informed about the progress of this, receiving emails with the acceptance of payment, the beginning of the handling process and even the very moment in which our package is delivered to the courier. An express delivery service, which delivers to us in 24-48 hours, will complete the circle of satisfaction with our purchase.
As you can see, the risks that collectors and historical re-enactors take are diverse and sometimes subtle, which makes it doubly important to know who you are buying from. There are no shortage of surprises (unpleasant) when opening the box and checking for absences, defects or errors. That is why it is so important that the supplier has previously checked and reviewed each product and the order as a whole. All this will save us claims and calls to the after-sales service, procedures otherwise impossible if the company is not legally located in Spain and with all the licenses and permits up to date.
The House of the Recreator is a Spanish provider of online historical recreation products and elements that meets the most demanding expectations. As a result of the passion for the History of Spain, a company project with a vocation for quality, service and commitment to society was born in 2016. On the pillars of legal compliance and long-term vision, La Casa del Recreador's mission is to offer the best selection of historical replicas for collecting and recreation.
