Might be a valid reason, have you tried enquiring?

i assumed (perhaps incorrectly) they were bog standard parts and would be in stock
be interested to hear how other people have fared.

Hang on a minute last time I was on there I saw a notice about some times when they were going to be away? Think it said one was sometime in October

Greg put up a link to an L-pad and it was on there. Can't find it on any of those pages now though.

Try 'phoning see if anyone answers?

I ordered a couple of L Pads a week last Thursday, they came last Thursday - a week. I seem to recall that when I bought some supertweeters a few years ago they took about a week too. Probably best to call, if you can hold of them.

They have a habit of escaping


So there is somebody at home!

I think we can assume, given their record, that they're working on it. They might send you some free stuff for waiting so patiently.

not their fault, but that doesn't stop my frustration !

i guess i've got used to next day delivery service and anything less is a disappointment

Hi All,
I've used Wilmslow several times over the years for Morel & Scanspeak drivers and crossover components with no problems. All excellent quality. Suprised if you have a problem.

ATB,

David.

One has to make allowances occasionally! Nothing is perfect
