WolstonFlyer Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Hi Giant SharkI didn't know you had gone! I have had many orders from you in the past 12 months and a couple in the last 2 weeks Best wishes, a happy customer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mart49 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Like WF, Ive ordered from you at least 6 times in the last 6 months. Only been into this flying stuff for a year and didnt know that you had been gone! Always a great service. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I have looked at your site a number of times in the recent past. Although the posted prices were good, the stock level at zero was not. I hope that being back means both stock and a good price. I look forward to good experiences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Shark Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hi Guys, many thanks for the positive replies and of course your orders. The reason for the posting is we have kept quite a low profile on the web forums where our loyal customers and I thought it was about time we came forward to promote our bussiness and also give you guys a focal point to post and questions you may have and any issue if and when they arrise.

Giant Shark Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 I will going though the warehouse over the next few weeks and a major sort out and sale of lots of items so keep your eye open on this forum and also on our web page for the deals **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Presumably you won't take the entire range of items to the shows, so can we expect Galaxy kits to be there? Postage is expensive on these kits so it would be nice to buy them at a show. What other items will be available at shows? What other shows will you attend?

Masher Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I have used GS a lot but have had problems with stock levels lately so have had to look elsewhere. A particular example is heatshrink covering - I was given a date when this would be replenished but that date came and went some weeks ago- surely this is bread and butter stuff which has been given good reviews on this forum (me included) - but is no good if I can't buy it!!!

Colin Leighfield Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I have bought from you as Giant Shark and previously as Giant Cod and no complaints so far, although I confess that I haven't tried to buy any heat shrink covering yet! Very happy with recent purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Stock levels have been an issue right back from the early days of Giant Cod, as popularity soared items would arrive in the morning and literally be gone by the end of that day. Rob always seemed somehow to keep the whole shebang on the road. Although, it became accepted, that once an item sold out, often it would never be restocked. Once the brand morphed into Giant Shark, in my opinion, the coach lost its wheels, the wheel was turning, yet the hamster was dead (how I enjoyed writing those cliques). Yet it conveys how things changed, to the point, that Giant Shark would not be a starting point, nor second choice, virtually of my radar. So get back to No1 on line sales company.

Bill_B Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Please take some HET motors to Weston, the 2W-20 and 2W-25 will do for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 That's good to know... as my order arrived yesterday! Good to see a Giant Shark representative on the forum.... I'm a great fan.... so it might be nice to have a name and a face? Especially if you are "Looking forward ot meeting you all" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI KC, we will have some if not all of the galaxy kits us if you let me know which one or ones you are after i can make sure that we bring them along . the actual list of items we are going to bring along is still being worked on but we will try and bring along as much as we can in the vans, At present we have not decided on which other show we will visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI Erfolg, many thanks for your posting and all you say is very true and it now my hope that i can bring it back onto poeples radar and sort out the stock issue's. There are a lot of products which I did not know we had until I started so it is no suprise that that the modeller lookking at our web site get lost. As for you Cliques i do like them and all i can say is the wheels are bolted back on and a new hamster is at the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mart49 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 GS, I was wondering if you were attending the Wings N Wheels event at North Weald later this month? If you are, I'd like to be separated from some of my cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see on your site you now show a 1200 kv version too - assume this is the 5mm shaft also? I do have a 5mm shaft adaptor for the fan I am intending to use, and the slightly higher kv may be better too. If you can confirm this is the 1200 version, and 39mm diameter can, I will have it. Happy to collect at Weston TBH, as I am in no big rush for it. Edited By Tim Mackey on 05/06/2013 12:51:12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouncebounce crunch Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Does GS give this site some give aways? or just advertise through thread spread? a roll or two of covering or batteries would be the best option if you want loyalty.

Erfolg Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I have doubts with respect to Shark as the name of a retail company, it is almost the same as calling yourself "fly by night supplies". Perhaps a more surreal name would provide a more positive image. May be Giant Goldfish, Bream, Salmon, Tuna, any might be better. As Tim has suggested, a personal name, cuts a approachable, a real business, feeling, than an anonymous employee of a corporate entity.
