crossforth Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Having ummed and arred for a long time, I've sent off for the initial Komatsu excavator. Let's see how long it takes to come. Last time I used Atlas was for the initial Eddie Stonart fridge lorry. They sent me that along with a curtainsider and tried charging me £9.99 for both. I paid £2.99 as that was what they info said so I was quite happy at two lorries for £2.99. I'm not paying for their mistakes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted April 23, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 23, 2017 I think I'm going to finish this series now, last model was a very nice mobile generator artic but the latest is a bit too obscure for me... A mobile airport baggage loader Admittedly I can adapt it to use in my oil terminal area of the layout by changing it to use to carry equipment but I think I've had my fill of them now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwrosebury2000 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Be aware I just tried to pay an invoice twice, both times it said that the payment had failed but it had taken the money from my bank x 2. Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted August 15, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2017 Be aware I just tried to pay an invoice twice, both times it said that the payment had failed but it had taken the money from my bank x 2. Mark Their accounts system hasn't been right since the beginning of the year. I checked my account only to find that my direct debit had been cancelled so I had to pay the outstanding payments and even then I couldn't even re-instate my direct debit until a month ago. Check your Atlas account to see if both payments are recorded. I would suggest setting up a direct debit then you will have no problem with payments as long as you keep an eye on it. Also they tend to deduct direct debits 4-6 weeks late but don't worry about that as long as it says 'direct debit' on your account. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwrosebury2000 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I had a direct debit set up with them and they took two payments from me in one month so cancled it and now pay monthly, if I had everything out of the collection I wanted I would just bin it. They don't appear to have any sort of organisation and the customer support is a bit lacking. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.B Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Just a few words on this subject....I Googled reviews for Atlas editions...after signing up for an introductory offer which after allowing well over the quoted 28 day delivery still hadn't shown up....managed to contact them and they said it was sent out early January...possibly the 10th I think. ...bear in mind....we were at the end of the first week in February. They asked if I'd checked with neighbours etc but nothing had been seen. On this the woman on the phone asked me if I still wanted to receive the items (the dinky toy model collection)...I said yes please and she said it would take 28 days but by early March still nothing....but an invoice and order slip showed up. ...billing me for the first lot of items which I hadn't ever received...plus the new order never turned up either...but, guess what?...the invoice reminder for the first lot did. After this I lost the will to be bothered with these cretins...I bought off ebay instead, must admit that the models are very good reproductions....the customer service is far from anything remotely decent...I really wouldn't bother with ateas editions...ebay is much simpler without all the gumph and commitment stuff that these organisations seem to revolve around. Incidentally, the reviews were 'dire'...with many complaints about poor service, harassment, and debt recovery companies threatening enforcement action on individuals who in most cases hadn't even received stuff or the wrong items etc, etc....enough said I think.

stewartingram Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Ian Allan at Waterloo have had a couple of Blackpool trams in which appear to be Atlas/Corgi models. One iss the Balloon d/d with Bruce Forsyth ads on a green /cream livery, which I already had. However the other one was new to me (I think I have the full set of Blackpool trams). A s/d Brush railcoach, in a dark blue advertising livery for Viva. Both on sale at £9.99, in boxes with no id except a "Trams of the World" label. I have also seen advertised elsewhere (was it Hattons?) 2 trams from the Atlas series. One is the Balloon mentioned above, the other a Brush s/d in a previously available livery (can't remember which). Also a couple of foreign trams from the Atlas range. Seems they may be "dumping" them (is that the right word?) on the open market. The blue Brush is odd to me though. Stewart Edit to add: Having purchased the blue Brush car, I've now had chance to unwrap it. The base of the box is indeed marked Atlas, and the dark blue livery is for the Pleasure Beach, with large Viva lettering on the side.

royaloak Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 We have been collecting 3 series and have not received any for a few months, a quick check revealed that all were complete despite 2 of them having models outstanding. Looks like I will be making a phone call on Monday to find out what is going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 11, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) I was speaking to a trader at today's Romford exhibition and he said that Atlas dispose of any extra models through wholesalers once a series is finished but anything with the Stobart name goes to Stobarts shop. (Probably part of the permit to use the Stobart name.) Incidently the double deck coach has sold out, not to anyones surprise I guess.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 11, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 11, 2017 Bet the bloke who paid £83 for mine is gutted now! I'm going to a swapmeet tomorrow and another on the 9th December. The going rate seems to be about £65, I'll look out for any changes. The Atlas order system is a mess and they seem too be sending out extra models marked as paid for. I received an extra free airport crash tender that way, one lucky devil got an extra double deck coach for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwrosebury2000 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 So is this collection complete now? and how many models are in the collection if it is complete? I joined later than some on here so still have a few to get that I know of but they told me last month they didn't know how many the total should be. Does that make sense or have I been doing too much at work again? Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 17, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 17, 2017 There were 30 models in the set. Many people didn't get the full set, I had one missing but I was able to find one at a reasonable price. It should be listed on your account what has been sent to you, failing that there is a number on the boxes and the certificates for each model.

Wild Boar Fell Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 If anyone is interested, some of these items are now appearing in a large Widnes based model shop, certainly has the 66's at £12 each.
