Modelbrass problem
« on: 09 Jan , 2011, 11:33 »
Hello!

I am new to this forum!

I come from Slovenia (Ljubljana) and I started to build U-Boot 995.

Right at the beginning I already have a problem! A month ago I ordered Modelbrass Revell Type VII 1:72 Brass Upgrade Kits parts and I still have not received! I ordered 9/12/2010 ???
Therefore I appeal to you if you can help me! How long do you wait for the shipment?

Thank's Gregor

Since I build most of my aftermarket parts from scratch, I can't tell you how long to expect the wait from ModelBrass, but as it's been the Christmas Holiday season in the time since you've ordered and they might have been very busy, I'd reccommend patience.

You might try contacting them directly if it takes much longer.  Most times I've ordered things internationally, I expect about 6-8 weeks for delivery.  Not all of it is their fault as your own country's customs can often delay release of packages for a week or two.  Small personal shipments aren't a high priority for them.

Good point Pat, there could also be a delay due the must of the major airports being closed before the Xmas period.

Also welcome aboard.

Welcome Gregor!  Looking forward to seeing you build.  You definately came to the right spot!

As for the Modelbrass....(my experience only)

Expect a lengthy shipping time from Modelbrass.  They are located in the US as well as I and it took approximately 5 weeks to get my delivery.  I could assume from what Pat mentioned, about 6 to 8 weeks is correct if not a little longer.  You can try to contact them, however I tried and received no response.  My order still arrived a week and a half later just the same.  It is a nice product, worth the wait.  Try and be patient I guess.  Wish I could be help.

Regards,

T

Hi Gregor, welcome!

Don`t worry - my modelbrass set took a long till it arrived me, too. But it did arrive me.  ;)

And as TRM already posted, it is worth waiting for.

Soon it will be two months! Last contact by mail and this has been rejected mail address .... That is all I've managed to achieve!

What can we try?


I ordered through AMP GERMAN FLAG and entangled a week ago and that from Australia as you well know! Thanks

Therefore, it is not clear to me why such a long time? Do not know where the problem!

I don't know if we'll have any luck, but I have emailed with a query about your order.

I also tried to purchase the PE from ModelBrass, going so far as to sent payment via papal. I called a few days later and spoke to Jay. Jay refunded my payment and said it would be some time before he had any more. I wonder if there is another source for the PE that has the bow and stern lower flood grates?

I went onto their site and ordered the PE set too and after they had taken my money, I got a message saying that it would be June before they had any sets ready, then Im gonna have to put up with delivery delays after that. >:( I am not sure if anyone else does the sets , but according to Glenn Cauley, who knows a hell of a lot more than me about it, Modelbrass are the only ones who make a kit with the lower hull flood holes . Its a real shame cos they are fiddly little f :o s!
