I was wondering what people's thoughts were on a reasonable wait time on a set rods from these folks.

I was expecting a set of rods to be delivered early to late December last year. However, these have still not been delivered.

Just getting a bit fed up with the lack of communication on their behalf.

It's the risk you take with them
It shouldn't really be a surprise anymore
Still not nice though

Seems like it's a recurring theme with them unfortunately mate. Don't think anyone argues the quality of end product but generally pretty piss poor after order placed. If rules allowed I think I'd be taking a drive to go see them and get my money back.

Try a charge back on your debit card
Use the consumer rights act part on him first and tell him you want a refund that might make him focus a little first
Then try a charge back

The quality of the rods isn't the issue it's how long it's taken

Tried to speak with them many of times, they just dont respond to voice mails.

Did speak to Tom about 3 weeks ago and he said that the rods were done and could be posted within 24hrs and someone would call me the next day to sort things out.

Well guess what they never did. Finally got hold of someone this week and he said the rods wont be ready until the end of march!!!

So they've gone from done to ready in 3 weeks. I wouldn't be expecting them to turn up this month either. Shocker that mate
