Not sure where I am going to go now, BMM have limited 10th scale, radio racers are ok but it's still a 50 mile round trip.

Any other ideas for local shops with good stock of tyres and xray parts?

Well I suppose look on the bright side as it seems apex models had taken over Je models.

Thank god for mb models and eBay it's a shame I will never buy from je (apex) again apex customer service is just crap.

Sorry apex bad experiences stick.

The thing is JE WAS our local shop, DID do mail order and we DID support it. But its still gone down south.
Of course JE is a little odd because it hasn't gone bust due to lack of support - it was successful before the sale its just the owner no longer wanted it. But it still leaves BMM as the only shop serving the whole Manchester region.

So Apex now run JE. Does that mean the website's gonna be full of stuff that you order, but don't actually receive for 3 bloody weeks because it wasn't in stock and no one bothers to let you know unless you ring them after a fortnight.

Don't me wrong, Apex are ok, as a shop. As a website, and consequent communication, or lack thereof, sucks monkey jizz.

Crazy,

Apex are using the versatile JE Software that is directly linked to the website stock. I went in there today and Richard needed to log the bits out before I left, so it's all real time.

They are all working really hard to get everything working smoothly and it appears to be working.

The sweets will continue!

I'm guessing his card had already been debited at time of order as opposed to when item was ready for dispatch.

I appreciate you sticking up for them Dudder, we really do have to support our local shops, as its all too easy to buy from hk for cheapness. Like I said before, nothing wrong with the actual shop itself, quite helpful iirc, and I've spent a fair chunk of wage in there over the last two decades. It is just that in life, and media, you only ever hear the bad things, and shit sticks.

Good thing though they're trying to keep the JE reputation alive, now, If they could only apply live stock level to their own website.

Good luck to them on the task ahead.

I think that will happen shortly, or they'll just keep the one system

Hey Neil

Yeah 8 months card debited numoros phone calls kept getting told they will be here next delivery etc etc

The point is the site showed stock I ordered and the shop doesn't have it they take your money and tell you it's on back order not a good service IMO.

Anyway like I said bad experience means I will never buy from apex again.
