Welcome to Willie85 and Jors and enjoy the build. Brett, you are a lucky guy I have been waiting a month  and when I contacted customer services this afternoon I was told that my delivery will only be at the end of the month  I told them to send all my parcels via registered post so that I can track them and they do not get lost in the post  It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

Still in a straight jacket  There are some nice gentlemen in white coats that come and visit me every now and then and tell me to calm down and that the parts will come  At this rate my build will be taking 3 years as I am still waiting for my 3rd posting It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

Hi Guys
i still don't understand how we can be so far behind the news agents.
i'm still on issue 9, surely we should all be at the same stage?

Hi Guys, just to update you with regards to the subscriptions versus news agents. As you receive the subscription once a month and the news agents weekly or bi weekly, the subscriptions will always be a couple of issues behind. Sometimes a good thing, let the guys with the news agents make the mistakes and you learn from them.!!( Joke)It does settle down further down the line and you always receive your issues. Hope it helps. take your time and enjoy the build. You can always follow the guys on the forum that are ahead and know what to expect when yours arrives. happy building. Rgds, Hans

OK Hans, I see your point, but are we as subscibers now being taken for a ride? It has now been 2 months since I received my last set of parts and if you phone "customer care" they tell you to wait 3 weeks for the next posting. It does not help to fight with the people at "customer care" because they are only there to help with general enquiries. I have dealt with this company before and can only report good things about them. Now I wonder, have they bitten off more than they can chew? Are we getting the scraps that are left over after Germany, Australia, the UK and the USA? If that is not so, then I will apologise here on this forum. It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop
