Oh How Original Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Great shop and great service. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for deals though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreXeL Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 A real shame, to echo what others have said they tend to have things in stock that other places don't stock or only get to order. I've bought loads from them, will be gutted to see them go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Coe Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Thats how I understand it. It wasn't losing money or anything like that, but he has money invested in it he needs for something else. In theory someone could have bought the entire thing as a going concern though finding a suitable person isn't easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksprogis Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Very very sad to hear , I've been using them a fair bit for the losi Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreXeL Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Real shame there isn't somebody who is prepared to buy the business, it's bad enough when companies go through the hoop because they aren't making money, but to see a decent, money making business shut in this way is a real shame, just seems such a waste when others are struggling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Really enjoyed JE, and Apex have good choice - delivery is terrible from Apex 'though so let's hope this'll change them. I hardly ever get something said to be 'in stock' within one week - that's really the earliest! Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeghead28 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Not good. Almost feels like JE got to big too me. I remember when they started and just did fixings and bits and pieces before they started doing cars. Every order I made from them as time went on got worse,poorer communication and slower dispatch. Don't like Apex that much either,I ordered the RPM bulkheads from them as they were in stock but it took them 2 days to even dispatch the order even though it was in stock at the time.

stretch Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I'd be happy for a 2 day dispatch but some places i've waited over a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covert Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Once took me 2 and a half weeks to recieve a rc shell from apex , paid for first class and was sent on second class . Took them 5 days to post it out ! Normally use bolton model mart now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatboyneil Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 What's with all the apex model bashing try fetching your parts in future if it takes a few days who cares. Some of you are starting to sound like spoilt little kids "I want my part now or I'll scream and scream and scream till I'm sick" anyone remember when modelsport was just a postal order service I remember posting my order off and waiting a minimum of 28 days to get it Rant over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem in waiting but why state on the website that you will receive your order in 1-2 days when you won't? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I have no problem in waiting but why state on the website that you will receive your order in 1-2 days when you won't? Royal Mail also state First Class and next day services... But they only guarantee 95% of items to actually arrive next day.
