Ordering Scaloox

[Deere-est]

Below is an email Peter from Scaloox sent me after asking him a question about prices. They are not listed on the website www.scaloox.com because it contraveins ebay or something. He was very helpful and replied the same day for one question and the following day for a question through 'ask seller a question' link on ebay. Hope this is useful for some of you.

Hi Tristan.

Thanks for your email.

We don't put prices on the website as it wouldn't be good policy with eBay to have links to our site offering the same items. But we welcome enquiries if what you require isn't included in current ebay listings.

Product purchased as a 'special order' has to be fitted in to our other commitments, and to compensate for what might be a few days wait, we give a discount on eBay pricing.

Current 'special order prices are:

A '32-300' pack is ?6.50 + ?4.50 p&p

A '32-600' pack is ?13 + ?5.50 p&p

A '32-900' pack is ?19.50 + ?7.50 p&p

Your previous enquiry of ordering two '32-600' sets would be a total of:

?26 + ?8 p&p.

A CDrom is included with all jobbing pack orders for MS Windows 'Wordpad' program and is recommended for first-time users of Scaloox. If not required, deduct ?1 from order.

Regards,

Peter

similar to what i got. Very helpful bloke!  :)

Can't he make postage cheaper than that or is that the correct price. Was thinking of ordering some but thats putting me off a little to be honest ??? \ \

[FB]

not sure, i though it was very expensive but like TM810 said 'your getting a quality product'.... :)

[Tractorman810]

i,m sure the smaller sets could be cheaper if he looked into it at the post office,but the 3 set deal is about right as it is over 3kg in weight so is classed as a standard parcels,,i have dealt with him several times and he is very good,he did refund some cash for one order as he mistakenly got the postage prices mixed up.it is a really good idea for building stuff for an older farm,so i don't mind paying a little over the top

[Deere-est]

Ditto TM. I am really looking forward to getting it but yes the postage is a tad on the high side. Still from what I have seen and heard the price of the actual product seems cheap enough to start with so it does kind of even itself out doesn't it?

Also ordered a catalogue from EMA to get some roofing for my current shed and ideas for some more.

[Tractorman810]

don't forget to post your picks up when you start will you deere-est

[Deere-est]

WHEN, I like that!!! When indeed TM, when indeed!! May be a while but I will cetainly do a stage by stage post so you guys can compare,compliment,critisice etc. Will be good to compare with you other Scaloox users. Right, I thinkit's beer o'clock, chow for now!!

[Tractorman810]

[FB]

[Tractorman810]

well worth a try mate,very clever idea

[Deere-est]

TM I had few beers mate and I am blaming the one I had for you for the subsequent hangover the following morning!! Thanks!!

EMA catalogue arrived today along with all issues of Farm and Site thus far. Had a flick through EMA and there is some stuff in there all right, a list is currently being compiled!! Only need sheeting really as I have spared too much detail on my current open span shed, practice makes perfect apparantly so maybe the next one be me more realistic with purlins etc etc. Have lolly pop sitck to cut in half for Yorkshire boarding too but they are still in the "spoke for" pile in a craft shop in Bristol. Scaloox should arrive either just this side or just the other side of the weekend.

[Tractorman810]

yeah that ema catolouge is wicked,got my order ready to phone through tommorrown ready for the silos ect,see how fast they are sending it,and let you all know

[FB]

looks like the 4 of use should get some good displays up soon!!....i'm going for the 4th person due to time and skill!!  ;D

[Deere-est]

. ...... ... .. ..  ...  As Deere-est gets forced into an unwillingly third spot by F happy B and loses sight of the race leaders .. .  .

[SMurF]

Can I join the party 

scaloox seems to be a much larger version of the old linka style building system  Beefed up for 1/32

          smurf

[Deere-est]

Smurf you can take third spot off me mate. I need to go in the pits for a cuppa. Oh, ordeing some glue would be a start!!!

[SMurF]

Cheers

superglue    works every time

[Tractorman810]

i found pva glue works best with scaleoox,gives you a bit of time to move it round to the right position,i think it might be a beefed up version of the old linka stuff,he also does oo scale stuff for trains sets

[Deere-est]

Well I'll be pi55ed off.

The CDrom which came with my Scaloox wont play on my laptop. Not the disc's fault, I think the drive is buggered as I have had trouble with music cd's before. Is it possible to send the file and if it is would any of you be spot-on-kind-enough-in-return-for-a-cyber-pint-helpful-enough-can-I-have-a-rewind-type-way to send it to me??

In that condition, yeah!! (Mark and Lard live on!!!)

[Tractorman810]

i don't have the disc unfortunatlly,they wern't avaiable when i ordered,fb might though

[Deere-est]

Got it working. As I said, it wouldn't run on my laptop. I am always sleighting the old chap for having a crap pc. .. . ..  . I'll say no more.
