RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted October 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2020 Sad news. I really enjoyed the club members open day last year and came home with a lot of items. I only got the Club newsletter today and then the email out of the blue tonight. Sadly nothing much I really want on the final sales list, so I will be going for the pro rata refund of the club membership fee Cheers, Ade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDJR7F88 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Only joined earlier this year, so never got to do one of the club members days. Ah well. Some very tempting items at tempting prices for the last sale. Managed to fight off temptation for items I know I don't really need, but ordered a few I know I want. Do we send the forms back to the same email or is there a sales dept to send the list off too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubhank48 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Very sad news. I replied to the same email address with my order, but whether that’s correct or not I don’t know. I could also not see anything about how to pay. Cheers Sandy Edited October 26, 2020 by ubhank48 Spelling error 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted October 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2020 I question the value of clubs. Dapol might not be the last to go. tbh I think manufacturers would do better to recognise loyalty and spend. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought on that is that it would be one cynical way of driving sales away from retailers directly to the manufacturer. But there’s nothing stopping retailers from introducing their own loyalty schemes. I already get 5% from one model retailer, and 7.5% from another for spending far too much. But don’t tell the CFO. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't say in the e-mail as far as I can tell but sending credit card details by e-mail is insecure and I'm sure any credit card company would frown about compensating if the details were stolen or intercepted. That said, there certainly are some good offers! Ixion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtybella Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Typical Dapol, say only orders via email and post are accepted but don’t give any option to actually pay! I wonder if they’ll contact us to refund our subs, or rely on us contacting them. Edited October 28, 2020 by Courtybella 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted October 28, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2020 I emailed last night and said I would like a pro rata refund. Got a reply today to say the card is being refunded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I may only have a month or less left, so it's not a big deal really but the offers sounded very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDJR7F88 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Still have yet to receive a response to my order list yet. Anyone else heard back from the same email address? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted October 28, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2020 They must have my card details on file. I did not provide them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

97403_Ixion Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 OK, thanks Adrian. It's probably quicker for them to fulfil payments back... maybe stock is moving fast for those who have ordered stuff. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted October 28, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 28, 2020 A few people have had emails back asking them to phone through card details. I've not yet heard, having sent my order in on Monday evening. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent my form back yesterday, followed by card details spread over 3 separate emails ( a method I have used with Dapol club offers before). I received a reply about 24 hours later saying the order had been passed to the warehouse for despatch. I have heard of others receiving emails advising to call Dapol to pay by phone. Best Scott. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Put my order in by post, they'll have it tomorrow. In the absence of any way of sending payment details electronically I embraced the 19th Century and sent them a cheque.... I don't really need another A4 to go with the nine I have in service but a Seagull for £58.95 posted was too good to resist (£80 minus £25 plus £3.95). It will get its turn at being hammered on Rise park sometime next year when shows reopen- I've Farnham and Spalding booked in for next year with the layout.

Ah thought that would be the case, got my email in almost as soon as I got it. Hopefully they'll reply soon, as the issue is I keep looking back at the list and think... hmmm, that would be nice...

RJennings Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Not had any response from my order I sent on Tuesday morning (not been charged either). Sent a further order this morning so fingers crossed. Definitely some good offers but ultimately sad to see the club come to an end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to Yolanda yesterday afternoon about something else and she advised they had had over received 800 emails in connection with orders (and presumably that total is being added to all the time). Based on the leaness of their operation, I'd expect it will take time to get through them all. Best Scott. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries then, that would explain having not heard anything back with that amount of orders having been received. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted October 30, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 30, 2020 I put mine in Monday evening, and got an email yesterday afternoon to phone with card details.

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted October 30, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 30, 2020 Surely that's just an issue of semantics? They're lapsing all memberships with immediate effect, whether they choose to start one again in x years time once trading is more buoyant is something else altogether. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
