Sorry to post something negative but I feel the need to vent. I've been trying to build this excellent model but have to say Eaglemoss are singularly the worst company I've dealt with in a long time. It has now been 14 weeks since my last delivery and I am stuck at issue 28. Many calls and emails to Customer services were initially dealt with politely but with zero effect. Then the communication stopped entirely until I threatened to get Trading standards involved when the polite but ineffectual emails resumed. They keep saying stuff has been sent, will be sent is on order but nothing arrives. If they didn;t have a long history I would assume they were operating a scam. All the while money keeps being taken and nothing is ever sent.

A warning to everyone to stay clear. I may try Trading Standards again, does anyone here know if it is the TS where Head Office is located where I should start.

The catalogue of errors and excuses is long and laughable but I wont bore you all any more

I'm genuinely glad you've had no issues & the model is looking great which is one factor in me sticking with this as long as I have. I guess we each have our own user experiences at different ends of the scale. If you are upto date I guess I am 8 issues back, not having had a delivery in well over 2 months and having paid for it 3 months ago

Well I spoke to soon. Delivery of parts has stalled at no 39.

No point in phoning C/S as no one picks up the phone (after 15 minutes of "your call is important to us" you tend to give up.

Emails, I am up to number 5 in my series to them, have prompted one reply of what I consider to be the standard we are waiting for delivery of parts email. Surely I am not the only one building this model.

I have had a look at the companies FaceBook page which makes interesting reading, a long list of people waiting for parts for their various Eaglemoss subscriptions

I understand and accept that there can be problems with supplies particularly if the are not UK sourced but what is really hacking me off is the lack of communication/Information

I am at present left with a partially completed model, there are still 13 issues to be received. The phrase not fit for purpose springs to mind

I must now consider my next course of action. Being retired I have time to rattle the cage

Anyone know what the legal position with these subscription builds is regarding a contract between the supplier and the subscriber

Oh and of course they are still taking my subscription each month

Mmm strange, not had a problem with deliveries and when I rang their CS about a wrong part I got an answer straight away and new parts within a week. Keep at them is all I can suggest.

Hi Gil

My deliveries are also stalled at issue 39, with a couple of payments being taken from my bank in the meantime.

The latest reply to my emails (like you, and many others, I can't get through on the phone) is a fairly generic reply :


" Unfortunately we were experiencing a slight stock delay with issues 40 - 43, however the stock has now been replenished and it'll be sent at the same time as your next despatch. You'll receive issues 40 - 43, 44 - 47 and the Eyes on the Skies DVD special together within the next week or so.
I've passed your feedback on with regards to now being informed of the delay and will make sure that it's looked into. "

Thanks for that. It gives me some hope that I will still get the rest of this Model.

Its a shame that their Customer service is so dire and not just for the Orrery kit. Reading their Facebook page shows that others have suffered similar issues with other collections.

I have no problems with the quality of the parts but that said will think long and hard before I venture into Eaglemoss land again.

This of course does not mean I will stop with my series of Emails to them, now up to number 5.

They do look good in font size 24 and a nice red ink colour

They are legally obliged to supply or refund. I'll PM you the email ad of a director so you can speak to the organ grinder.

Well after shooting off yet another EMail to Eaglemoss this morning (I have a weekly diary note) the postman delivered a box with the next 8 issues so building will recommence next week

It is a pity that what started off as an interesting build, with some faulty parts being replaced with no problems, that their customer service became so poor that the phone was not answered and replies to EMails where intermittent at best.

Up to issue 47 of 52 now so not many more to go

I will post some more pictures next week

:-) :-) :-)

I know how everyone is feeling, still haven't received packs 40-47 and they are not answering my emails or calls. Very disappointed in Eaglemoss at the moment.

Hi I have only just seen this forum, so far had no issues with delivery.

One tip, if you find a sticky gear you may find that if you look at the teeth carefully there could be a buildup of laquer. I have found a couple of these (using a magnifying glass!) and cleaned up the offending tooth with a needle file.

Hth - not long to go now!!
