RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 13, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) I am sure they want to get them out of the living room and in the post box as soon as possible so they can sit down and have a relaxing glass of sherry. Neither Ben or Mike strike me as "Harveys Bristol Cream" types..... Edited December 13, 2018 by newbryford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verulam Central Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Does anyone know the wait time between paying in full then getting the tank wagons? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungrange Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I paid my balance invoice on 16 November and picked mine up from the post office last Saturday. I was out when delivery was attempted on the Thursday, so the answer is around three weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
royaloak Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Does anyone know the wait time between paying in full then getting the tank wagons? Yeah it is exactly the time it takes one of the people involved in the TEA project to get to finish their day job, get home, have a cup of tea and a bite to eat, open the computer, see who is next on the list, pick the correct wagons, pack them, get them in the post, add on the time it takes the courier to deliver them to you and that about covers it. We are talking about 2 or 3 people trying to do this in their spare time, they aint got 300 people waiting to do all their packing for them so, as has been posted many many many times, they will get there when they get there, but they are slowly getting there! IF you expect next day delivery then buy whatever is available from the box shifters who do have many employees doing the packing. I am still waiting as well but I aint complaining about it every 5 minutes because I am a realist who understands what they are trying to do.

I'm still waiting as well, and I agree with EVERYTHING you have written. Who knows, Mike & Ben might just manage to squeeze in enough time to go out and do a bit of Christmas shopping for their families as well.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 15, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 15, 2018 Apologies if anyone takes offence at this but: Get a life - it's only a toy train. If it takes a couple of weeks extra to arrive, does it really matter? No one will starve because of it. At least something has turned up and is being delivered - unlike at least a few other items from a couple of manufacturers that I'm waiting for.............. BTW - they are worth the wait. Cheers, Mick 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mick Well said Mick. When this subject comes up in conversation with fellow modellers, I have always said : I Like model trains, I Love model trains, But I don't LIVE for model trains !!! In my view, if the hobby becomes an obsession then it stops being a hobby !!! I don't envy all that wrapping that Mike & Ben have got to do in order to satisfy our cravings. It's Bad enough having to wrap up Christmas presents. Lol Edited December 16, 2018 by Perfect Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Does anyone know the wait time between paying in full then getting the tank wagons? The answer is, I don’t know. I paid in full in March 2016 and haven’t got mine yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mevaman Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Just received my order. Fantastic wagons - some of the best I’ve seen. Thankyou Ben and Mike for your hard work and attention to detail.

emdpowerrules Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The answer is, I don’t know. I paid in full in March 2016 and haven’t got mine yet. Same here, my website order still says processing so wasn't expecting anything yet but part of my order arrived this morning. Box says 2 of 2 so assume 1 of 2 is somewhere enroute, maybe! Just wish I had the space for multiple rakes of these superb models. Graham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means that, if an order is sent in more than one parcel, the recipient will get no warning of the arrival of the first parcel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Lime Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Can I ask whether anyone who has now got their tankers received an email letting them know that their parcel(s) was going to be delivered? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungrange Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Can I ask whether anyone who has now got their tankers received an email letting them know that their parcel(s) was going to be delivered? I didn't. I just received a card through the letterbox saying that Parcelforce had tried to deliver a parcel, which has been left at my local post office.

As noted in post 467 I didn't have a dispatch note from Revolution and my account wasn't changed to complete. I got the tracking information from the number on the parcel itself, the two had different tracking numbers. So at some point you'll get a nice surprise, just like it used to be!
