1585 forum posts 1 photos | Having just watched the BBCs programme, "Rip off Britain " about the internet rogues, how nice to be able to rely on some excellent trusted traders like Arceuro. I ordered something either late last Saturday or sometime Sunday and the packet was on the doormat today, Tuesday when I arrived home. The speed of delivery is incredible but it's also dependent upon Royal Mail who are very good as well. John Edited By DMB on 15/08/2023 19:45:50 |

![]() 508 forum posts 98 photos | I have nothing but praise for Arc Euro. I have been dealing with them for very many years. Long before i knew about the internet I was buying stuff from the shows, and since they stopped doing the shows, via the internet. Not once in all that time have i had cause to complain. Just a happy customer. |

1585 forum posts 1 photos | Magpie, quite agree. Ketan was doing "Bighton Model World" where I bought an Anglepoise type lamp from him and still in use over my workshop bench. Dread to think how many years ago that was, the exhibition expired many many years ago. Have been buying stuff from him ever since. John |

7227 forum posts 21 photos | We are fortunate to have good, trusted suppliers, like Arc Euro, Tracy JB, etc They go the extra mile for their customers, to ensure that the end user gets what they want, or their problem solved. They are a pleasure to deal with, and contrast to what is shown on the consumer progtrammes on TV. Howard |

![]() 1009 forum posts 305 photos | There are a lot of companies that get their products out on time, I do not judge them on that but how they deal with any problems that may arise. Most of the time delays are caused by the delivery system that is used. There are too many companies to list that get stuff out on time but only a few delivery companies that let them down which give them a bad name |

![]() 6137 forum posts 893 photos | I think it may get even worse I had a non receipt which got refunded a month or two ago when suddenly they emailed saying I'd received it and "give us our money" bla bla bla Anyway there was a couple of he-said she-said emails before I got the last one signed from chatbotsooo It looks like AI chatbots are going to be used by companies for auto annoying people over various issues |
