Default WHEELSPIN MODELS

Anyone bought anything from this shop??
Model shops close down due to lack of business and this shop take your money and dont deliver!!!
Called them and they say it's been sent and hang up...
I never want to see a shop/company fold but if wheelspin do it will be a blessing!!!

NEVER USE THIS JOKE OF A SHOP

As above, ordered many times in the past from them, one of the best shops around.

Maybe they are not to blaim? Maybe it's Royal Mail? Christmas havok en' all

Got to say, I’ve ordered lots from them over the years and never had a problem.

Could the issue lie with the delivery company? I’ve had Royal Mail next day special delivery (or whatever it is) take up to 5 days this time of year.

Poor quality of service either from a retailer or the delivery company responsible for making sure customers get their products is obviously unacceptable. Having said that in my experience, Wheelspin Models provide thousands of people with a good quality service in general, I feel that suggesting that ANY modelshops closure would be a 'blessing' is a tad insensitive to the customers who use this resource and also the owners of the business. Every model shop closure makes the supply chain for our hobby close tighter and tighter and also forces consumers to look overseas for their RC products therefore compounding the problems for small independent companies such as Wheelspin.

As previously stated by another member, hobby shops and delivery companies are stretched to breaking point at this time of year and we should all take a little time to either ask to speak with a store manager about our problems, or insist that your items are sent special delivery and pay a little more for the piece of mind. Modern times make us all 'super consumers', lets not forget how lucky we are to have such amazing resources

I ordered from them Tuesday last week, items only arrived today. Going to put the delay down to the Royal Mail on this occasion.

Never had a problem with their mail order in the past though.

Too be fair, their mail order service is good, but I know of a few racers that don't think too much of their face to face service (but I personally haven't had a problem)

I ordered some stuff a few months ago and it took them about a week to dispatch it and then it went missing in the post. I appreciate this happens, but I had to wait a further two weeks to 'make sure' it wasn't just slow. Eventually I received my stuff after a month.

100% with you Style iv know wheelspin since late 90s early 2000 of the 1/10 gas truck days and myself have had a few purchases in the past i would have to agree that this time of year is very very bizzzzzzy for the post men and women so this may have the impact why your purchase is late but keep us all posted so if your purchase does turn up we all know its GOOD !!!!!
