in general how quickly does everybody recieve their items (im thinking of ordering a hose kit but need it before pv)

[Will F]

Totally depends on item and whether he has them in stock.

[Jack]

Ring and ask him ;)

[krobinson]

If it's in stock, next day/2 days.

I've had a few items take weeks/months tho.

[Rick Draper]

Currently going into about the 3rd week of my orer for 2x4" 90 degree bends. Not happy at all.

[ben doodar]

i ordered a drive shaft from him on a thursday he promised it for the following monday, when i received it the wednesday after, it had been posted on the monday. nice 1!

Ordered roose hoses from him a couple of weeks ago, wasnt expecting it to be a fast delivery though as i doubt its something he keeps in stock.

[Rick Draper]

Once i have my hose's and joiners i think i will take any business elsewhere. Rally design should have been where i placed my order. Had no reply from chris after i sent him a pm and i know he has been online since i sent it.

[conad]

rang chris he said over 3 weeks.

rang roose motorsprort on saturday.... recieved them yeterday.

[trackdaynova]

lol typical, i've not heard too much good stuff regarding lead time recently to be honest... alot of broken promises too (returned calls etc)

Always use rallydesigns or demon tweeks for hoses! never had a propblem!

over a week for a single LET exhaust manifold gasket and that was even £10 postage!!!

[R1CH]

Had stuff off Chris a couple of times and always recieved them within a couple of days, aint had anything recently tho, He's pretty much a 1 man outfit isn't he ? i know its not an excuse but i reckon he'll be kept fairly busy from phone / net orders ... then theres the spanners side of it, maybe things have grown a bit to quick for him / the business ?

[Geordie-Chris]

I ordered a breather pipe off him the other day, he didn't have one in stock so said he'd split a kit for me if he had the right colour, sure enough the part arrived the next day - excellent service and seems a canny bloke too! I'd use them again.

[mayhem]

we orderd with a few guys here from the netherlands, package arrived in a wheek, only 1 pack of arp2000 bolts where missing.

so emaild him and he would sent another set.. thats almost 2 months ago, and still nothing.

[General Baxter]

i know the problem, its you lot ordering big block parts, if we all kept to small blocks it would be fine lol

tbh, i just thing hes overloaded with orders at the moment, im sure iv read somewhere even his vxr project has come to a stop to try and clear the back log

[conad]

he must be making loadsa money, why not expand the busines and employ someone else?

Its not as simple as that. I "think" he had to have a change of staff as the they were making too many mistakes and good, reliable help who actually take care in the job is hard to find.

I know Chris and know he works really hard and when people say all it takes is a quick email they are right but when you've got hundreds of quick emails to send out it ain't such a quick job anymore.

If the item is in stock its normally a very quick turn around. Problems occur when there could be a delay sourcing the parts.

I'm just hoping he can get back on top of things and get the right staff as I don't want to see him heading down the PVD route. Chris is an asset to the vauxhall scene, end off.
