k@lsb, I think we get the jist of what your saying..........just. Try using paragraphs instead of big blocks of text, and repeating yourself, burnt down burnt down burnt down, it would be easier to read and make sense of,

 

 

You sound a tad angry

[Lee No.2]

Jesus! do what the rest of us do and source it youself, if you REALLY want it, find it!

If you dont like your supplier, change it!

[Guest Iain Cheall]

[Lee No.2]

not meant to be offensive, if i want a product i will source it from somewhere, if i cant get it, i cant get it, not the end of the world and certainly not worth getting narked off at, rant over!

[ironplanet uk900]

Not rude at all I agree with you, just thought it was funny. But I have got a sick sense of humour

Have you tried the story game cus i think you would be very good at it especially on a day when you can not get dubbin cos the factory has burnt down and that same factory suplies neatsfoot oil but you can not get any of that either cos the factory burnt down i got some disney keys from a bristol company that sold me a package but now i am running out of certain ones they can not replace them yet as they have no stock so my new key display that i got from a supplier looks crap half empty, a bit like me. night night

I must admit suppliers are getting worse.

 

You place an order and you never get it complete things are always out of stock or discontinued.

 

I would rather our suppliers carried less items but had them in stock. Atleast then we would all know where we stood.

[keithm]

Why not go to specialist suppliers for specific items, rather than one supplier for all your needs?

[Auto Key Wizard]

Keith,

I know the opening post was a difficult read, but since when have Dubbin, Neatsfoot Oil, & dark tan Kiwi paste polish been special items, requiring supply from specialists.

 

It's like Butchers selling meat....it's common place.

[keithm]

Tel

 

I was refering to Danny's complaint concerning incomplete orders.

[Hugh-Candoit (ENG)]

I sympathize with you k@lsb, it seems that many of the suppliers will not go that extra 2thou to fullfill your requirements.

I would expect my supplier to get Neatsfoot oil from source and can it themselves or sub contract it, it is a very common commodity, iour butchers have it even.

 

As for Dubbin there aint a worse product on the market, all it does is make it impossible to stick anthing that comes loose and acts as a dirt and grass magnet as it sits on top of the Leather.

 

Try Carrs Leather Oil it soaks in and is more user friendly.

 

Try Abbey Saddlery for all these products as they are big sellers in the horsey trade.

=D> I couldn't agree more. BUT try telling that to a customer whos used it for years.

[Hugh-Candoit (ENG)]

That's where the skill comes in as you tell them how to look after their footwear properly.

 

Dubbin.... just coloured Vaseline.

[Danny King]

Ok so I order some trophies from a trophy supplier and they are out of stock or discontinued.

 

So Keith tell me where I am supposed to order them from????

Yup Dubbin is pretty crap, it rots stitching & the upper in time,

 

People buy it as a waterproof dressing, I haven't stocked/sold a single tin in ten years.

What I stock as a waterproof dressing is Nikwax.

 

You do need to educate them.

[petercoulson]

my my and there was me thinking only women have periods........

[Hugh-Candoit (ENG)]

my my and there was me thinking only women have periods........

 

Are you saying that Dubbin is suitable for that problem Peter?

Bet you dont put Dubbin on your M/C Leathers, although I thought I saw a Greasy patch on the rear of the pants as you sped past.

[Guest k@lsb]

well here is a big pat on the back for SHOESTRING.....a great website, they sell dubbin lge 200ml tins and 75 ml ones..and they do SADDLE SOAP in tins as well.well done this company and a really great web site..good quality pictures and easy to navigate....................ps i sell loads of dubbin cus you guys dont lol as most people comment on the fact they cant get hold of it anyware now.........thxs for some interesting comments...and hugh....youre answers always make sense to most posts.....wisdom is not one of my great points.........and i often view youre replys to posts as constructive and factual...well done keep up the good work...ps send my cheque in the post lol

[Hugh-Candoit (ENG)]

.well done keep up the good work...ps send my cheque in the post lol

 

Youre getting a cup of coffee and be thankfull for that

 

One point I have to raise on the Website, they show the products but have they got the stock? So many times I see things of interest on the net only to find that they are out of stock, (usually underpriced to get your interest).

When they discontinue lines due to unforseen circumstances they are never quick to remove the items from listings. Shoestring could be the exception, I dont know as I've never had the pleasure of contact with them.
