Super service from Heller

they sent me the 11 paints and glue kit from the d day set. when i wrote thanks, they tried to send me another...luckily i got someone to translate.

I'm very really pleased to read your message ! Heller is a smal compagny, even it seems to be biger, and all the staff is very great. Onre of the bosses, Frances Reiser, is a good friend of me, and I will forward this message to him. No doubt he will be happy to read it.

Best regards

Heller is a fine company to deal with. Those of you who expect return emails please keep this in mind:

It's not profitable to staff someone to answer emails. Most companies read the email once a week/when they get around to it. Rather than spend the time to answer you it's more efficacious to type a label and send you what you want.

If you don't get results after 30 days send a hard copy letter. hth

The Keeper (of too much crap!)

Keeper avait soumis l'idée :

Well, I can answer for that... When you send a message to Heller's staff by their website, all are read each days by Francis (except saturday and sunday). A course, he can't answer to everybody, but when you ask for help, if this help is possible, Heller make all its possible to resply YES and to help you.

Okay it will be done next monday

thank you mr froggie.

And send my thanks too. They sent me a 1/72nd Mig-23 canopy a year or two ago and about 15 years ago a MiG-21 canopy for Airfix 1/72nd MiG-21.

Cheers,

Lol ! Hey my friends, you know you can contact directly Francis by email ? On mu website, you can click on Heller's logo and go on Heller's website. Their is a contact form, and Francis read his message each day, except saturday and sunday... but I will forward your message also Bostjan ;)

Did you send your e-mail request in English or French?

I need a replacement canopy for a YF-22 and I had my daughter translate my request into French with the help of her high school French teacher. I was about to send the request via e-mail when I saw this posting. Do I need to bother translating into French? I'm afraid I might actually get back a nosewheel or exhaust nozzle instead of a canopy ;^)

Thanks,

Martin

i sent mine in english and no sweat.

Chris, please send them my regards. They haven't done anything special for me, I am just a happy consumer of their work since 1967.

I sent my request in English, that may have been part of the reason for the slight time lapse.

I did think of trying my schoolboy French, but thought that might cause more problems than leaving the translation to Heller.

Happy modelling Ant

To all of you : I phoned today to Francis Reiser and told him your messages. If he can find enough free time, he certainely will come to read on rms... but not sure, Francis is often buzy...
