Not sure what time of day you are calling but think they an only answer the mobile phone a very small amount of hours during the day like 10.00 till 2pm . He also sells Fox Rx+ alarms on eBay maybe drop him a message on his eBay listing page for them you may get a quicker reply

Stupid question but some people have been known not to send any details on what's wrong with the alarms or name and number for them to contact on.
You are not one of those are you
Turn around Time depends on how busy they are but is usually 6/8 weeks

Has having your gear for 5+ weeks without so much as an update ever really been acceptable? 2025 and excuses like ‘iffy mobile signal' are still being rolled out as to why you can't contact a business?

I've just had some nev's serviced by him.
He received them Thursday last week, had them serviced with new LEDs fitted Friday and scheduled to be delivered back RM tracked Monday.
First time I've ever used them and can't fault coms and turn around time and on Monday I'll find out how good his work is.
If it makes a difference, I bought what I wanted via eBay and coms started via their chat facility, then WhatsApp. Would happily use again as long as as they are how I expect them to be when I get them back 👍

Unfortunately being the best bloke in the country to send faulty alarms to, he's going to be busy. Multiple companies also use his services. It's one bloke in a workshop in an industry that has tens of thousands of bite alarms being used, and not many people that have the ability to maintain them.
There are 15,000 black cabs on the streets of London. Imagine the backlog that would happen if there were only two or three blokes capable of maintaining and repairing them?
I sent my old Nevs to him knowing that they would take a long time to get sorted. I hate bad customer service as much as the next person, but I bought some old Microns for that exact reason, because I knew I wasn't going to get pizza hut levels of delivery updates. It's a necessary evil, and one that I would let slide considering not many realise he was a brainchild behind probably the most innovative bite alarm on the market.

Totally agree with this, he's repaired my Nevs on so many occasions now they're like Triggers Broom, but somehow he manages to keep them going. The problem today is that everyone expects next day service, every day, no matter what. The Instagram / Amazon generation who expect everything on a plate straight away, no patience, no understanding of small businesses, the 'takers' if you will. I (sort of) get the frustration but you have a choice, repair your alarms or get a new one (set) or whatever. How some of these people would have coped in the 80's when it took two weeks to receive an order from a mail order tackle company I just don't know.

That's not what I expected at all. What I expect, is that if something is going to take 3 weeks longer than originally agreed, a quick call or email to tell me, not me having to chase it prior to a trip abroad and them not answering emails, phone calls etc. I couldn't get hold of them to actually send them in, in the first place, so it's on me to an extent
Turns out, it hadn't even been looked at weeks after the date I was supposed to have it sorted.
I get that the guy is mustard, but a quick call or email would have saved any of this. All sorted now though and my older alarms worked fine on my 2 weeks abroad

Who else can sort alarms like this fella?
If people are moaning up then go elsewhere, end off.
