Morning All,

I note that there are still many kits either "Out of stock" or unavailable for dispatch despite "Sale" emblazoned across the webpage.

I was just beginning to wonder what is happening with the admin of this website.
Back last year we had some reassuring messages that things will improve and a new team was in place.
A couple of recent messages on here have indicated that things haven't really changed much. Although I really do appreciate that everyones time is important with many other things to do, we haven't been given any feedback on any aspect.

Just yesterday I read a "build" diary from a guy called Dave who is still waiting since last July for some early part works so that he can actually get started. Not much fun for him is it? Crying Crying
Does anyone have any news to boost morale?

Thanks. Chris.

I attended an online interview this week to discuss the website in terms of what i liked, how could it be improved, what would i like to see.

That was run on behalf of Deagostini using a marketing firm so my feelings are if they invest money into that they are taking things seriously in trying to improve.

In terms of the out of stocks in the model space shop i did notice a few items have started to be removed so again that is a positive.

Hi Tony, thank you for responding. While I am sure that there are things happening behind the scenes, you must agree that it would benefit those still waiting for kits or partworks to be given some form of feedback on an official level? Also, when you say "items have started to be removed" do you mean from the Out of Stock bracket, or are they being removed from Sale?
Thanks. Chris.

Also, every time there is a sale, like the Easter sale right now, none of the subscriptions are actually on sale. The prices are the same as always. I have wanted to start at last 2 more subscriptions but not at full price. When I ask about it no one ever responds...

Yeah, I had the same issue in the past. Try putting whatever you want in your cart and go look at the checkout. You should see the sale price reflected there.

It does say discounts available on full kits. They do have discounts on some of the older part works occasionally, i got my Spitfire with £10 discount off the normal monthly price. I guess you've just got to keep an eye out for those deals.

Current deal says 20% off certain subscriptions. None of them are on sale and they don't discount in the cart either.

Apologies, didn’t notice your country of origin in your sig. Ours in the UK only state full kits. Might be worth dropping a pm to admin to follow up
