Default The Art Of Communication.



Who said the art of communication was alive and kicking.

Well done Dragrad for not getting back to me about the flag poles.

Well done Sean Radioguy for not keeping us updated as to when we are likely to get the Eclipse Radios.

Asked, Any Van Couriers for quotes bringing the alleged Flag Poles back from North Wales, was told you will receive umpteen quotes within a matter of minutes, UHH! one at £221, four poles at ten foot and I presumed two bases.

Hi Julien
I am sorry , I promise I am quite stressed too. The Eclipses have been in Customs since the 10th of the month . Usually its 24-48 hours to clear but Something is wrong and they are not ones to share the WHY's . We are checking 5 times a day ! I have been told last wek, TGhen on MOnday and today theya er STILL there. We had produced and were 1 week late shiping . Please , I am trying. I understand your frustration and we are so very ready to post these as soon as they get in !

Courier quotes from a man and his van were not at all competitive when I was in need a few years ago, the quotes I received from them for shipping an engine were I suspect all pitched to ensure that I went elsewhere - I don't think that they wanted the job lol. The established major companies who move pallets every day were the only serious contenders and unless you get lucky I think that it might be the same for anything which to a one-man-band might be awkward in size or weight.

It might still be early days to pass judgement on any perceived comms problem and I would be surprised if the members mentioned don't get back to you at some time.

Edit: And bang on cue a reply from one as I was typing lol.

Communication is of course a science and not an art, hell art is science and it goes without saying that you are assuming that people are if fact capable of such an advanced skill! We are living in such amazing times.
