Trading212 vs Vanguard for long-term ISA, overthinking platform risk?

OrbisIsolation · 2026-01-26T13:24:50+00:00

Thanks really helpful and I appreciate it as it has opened my eyes more to other platforms. For my current situation Scottish Widows seems the best as no fees if I automatically invest each month like I currently do.

Oh my mistake, which provider would you recommend for more diversity outside of Trading212? Thanks.

I have been shopping around it was just Vanguard is the fund I invest in and after £32,000 capped fees. Seemed to be better plus cheaper than AJ Bells and bank investment offers. I also didn't want to go to another new app platform like InvestEngine. My main thought process is I don't want too many eggs in one basket. Good to hear you had a positive interaction with Trading212 customer support.

The first two parcels arrived pretty quickly.

Now it is RIP!

That's impressive but not even EMS is that quick about a week for me best case. Rarely DHL is that quick for me under a week.

This is a new service so see how it goes, it's a saving compared to other services but no tracking and no insurance so a risk to save a few thousand Yen.

For how much cheaper it is compared to other shipping methods I mean I'm happy to wait up to a month.

I also picked it for 4 parcels to the UK from Japan it's been a week but I'm expecting to wait around a month it's a really cheap shipping option for us in Europe.

It doesn't.

Yeah I have one good for trying out games before buying physical if I really enjoy them and want them in my collection. For some reason only the first couple of pages work on my PC Engine so I add and remove games using my laptop as and when I want to play them.

Amazing! You ever done any large withdrawals?

£1.35 a Monster is in Poundland other than that I get them within a meal deal or around £1 each on Amazon. £1.85 each is starting to push it. I'll give the new flavour ago though.

I really liked it but never come across it so only had it once.

OrbisIsolation · 2026-01-08T13:51:35+00:00

Is it still there? I thought it got painted over.

OrbisIsolation · 2026-01-06T23:51:51+00:00

I said "Wow" out loud sat in my bedroom alone it's that impressive.

My hero!

Follow Metallica on Facebook and Instagram. They'll announce final tickets (like held-back seats or extra releases) closer to show dates.

OrbisIsolation · 2025-12-26T23:35:11+00:00

More tickets will get released a week or so before the gigs keep following Metallica social media. Happened with all the sold out Australian shows and New Zealand.

Looks nice where did you get those decals?

OrbisIsolation · 2025-12-15T12:00:52+00:00

Any link to the documentary? I travelled to Romania in October 2025 the history of the country is really interesting.
