Tosh McCaber Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Don't often give accolades. However, thought that I would give a thumbs up where due. Needed a new Solarfilm heating/ sealing iron, and decided on a Prolux digital. After looking around, I selected to buy from Nexus Modelling Supplies, (simply being the cheapest price plus cheapest p&p!) Ordered yesterday afternoon at 3.40. Lo and behold, a box with the sealing iron arrived an hour ago, just after 1.00! Less than 24 hours. They operate from Northampton, I live in far away Aberdeen! Well done Nexus!

John Stainforth Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Another vote for Nexus. I have had excellent and rapid service from them several times recently, including today! Also, their website is user friendly with a wide range of products. ps. I should add that I have found all the aeromodelling sites have provided excellent service during the Covid crisis.

Mike T Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Stop me if you've already heard this one, but in all these feats of logistical brilliance, the real 'heavy lifting' is done by the PO/Couriers. First to get blamed when the service is bad, never mentioned when the service is good. No connection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm woodcock 1 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Mike T, when I complained about the non-appearance of RCM&E I was told by someone on the forum that it must be the posts fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i12fly Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Ordered a Tx battery from Component Shop Sunday, price and delivery looked good. As soon as I'd ordered I saw their note to say things likely to be delayed due to covid so wondered if I'd made a mistake -although the note was a month out of date. However item was delivered Wednesday, no problems at all. Good service from them, don't be put off by their note on the front page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Walsh Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Just wanted to give fulsome praise to Sarik Hobbies. I ordered a Loaded Dice 30 EP from them some time ago and recently found that the rear fuselage sides didn't match, one was longer than the other. Without hesitation they cut two new sides and posted them to me. Unfortunately they were mangled by the Royal Mail in transit. Sent them some photos and they sent me not just the rear fuselage parts but also the front sections which they had recut and checked to ensure everything matched and fitted. Can't fault them for customer service, will not hesitate in buying from them again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyGnome Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Great service from Inwood. I ordered a fuselage for a foamy Wots Wot Friday lunchtime (managed to stand on mine...). Fuselage arrived Saturday lunchtime; sadly for a foamy Wot4. Called Inwood who were very apologetic and said that: WW foam fuselage out of stock but they'd send one foc when back in stock To avoid paying postage, they'd collect the W4 fuselage from me at Elvington LMA Yesterday (just a week later), WW fuselage arrived! If the blizzard lifts, I can go flying .... ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Sweeting 1 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 These posts are always useful to me as they detail many supplier names that I haven't seen or heard of before and as a 'beginner' trying to find what is available out there can be fraught. It's only when you peruse some sites that you start talking to yourself (and your wallet) with comments such as "Ooo, that likes nice..."
