PenrithBeacon Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Sent an order yesterday by email and tried to follow up with phone call for card details. Eventually left a msg with card details but no acknowledgement, but money not taken either from bank. Unsure what to do, perhaps best to leave it for a week. Hope all's well at HL Regards 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Level Kits Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 Back in the saddle now after a week off, but still chasing parts. The moulding company has furloughed most of its staff so delivery of final drive gears (as key component in the gearboxes) has been delayed and we're just using up the last few now. This is a temporary hold-up and we’ll get around to fulfilling orders ASAP. Apologies to anyone whos order is held up. 1 1 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post High Level Kits Posted May 31, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2020 Another update: At this point in time we are sitting on quite a few unfulfilled orders. This is due to the massive demand for products over the lockdown period (which also coincided with the spring show season). If this affects your order then we apologise for the delay. Certain key items, like axle final drive gears for example, are completely out of stock and, in this instance, there are problems with the gear moulders tied up making things for the NHS - other suppliers are either furloughed or playing catch-up themselves and some, who were pretty slow under normal circumstance are even worse! The sheer volume of orders has tested our own working methods and, inevitably, there have been some cock-ups. Although we do try to answer all mails, a few enquiries may slip through the net and would like to stress that we don’t take out customers for granted, but just may not have the time to deal with everything as quickly as we would like. We’re still nagging our suppliers and hope to have things back up and running at full capacity soon... 5 1 2 1 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted May 31, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 31, 2020 Thanks for the update Chris, although I am working away down my stock of gearboxes I still have a few ready for fitting. Compared to other gearboxes available yours are easier to set up. Now that I am using Mike edges "solder the motor" onto the gearbox approach I have now managed to remotor a number of locos during lockdown, Keep up the great work.

hayfield Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 There is a whole group of suppliers of which Chris is one who are providing excellent service to us who have plenty of time on our hands at the moment. At some point in the future I need a Micro Miser, but as Chris is short on gears I thought I would wait till he informs us stock is back in 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Level Kits Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Gordon, I'm afraid the busy mail order has kept me away from the computer for anything other than administration. I did make a start on the Barclay at the beginning of lock down, then the phone went crazy. I'll pick up on it when I get the chance. Just to add to the workload, I had to get a new PC, and this comes with Windows 10 (professional), which has proved to be a nightmare. Presumably, professional means it provides opportunities for your business to purchase new software as your existing stuff won't run on it!... Glad to see though, they've kept the on-line help facility for internet connection problems! Now having supply problems so starting to run out of things with my suppliers quoting long lead times. 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I'm kept away from any design work by the fact the PC is not working but also mail order keeps me on the hop. I got so far with the Barclay but now the trail's gone a bit cold. The J50 is near to completion but, again, I can't get it finished due to the above. Edited September 21, 2020 by High Level Kits 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
