Ontracks - starting to get fairly unimpressed

Really dont know what you lot are trying to achieve but you have lost a lot of respect with this stuff.

Been thinking about the original mail and comment. Seems to me that Ontracks is leaning towards being a box shifter and selling at box shifters prices. Now the OP is complaining about their level of service, the level he seems to want is not available from a box shifter. They get an order and wap out the product, if its not available then they might notify the customer but depends on order value and time available. They probably work on the principal that as long as they deliver for most of their customers they can afford to lose a few - especially those that take up extra time.

If you want a better level of service then you have to pay a bit more. Go for a smaller dealer who has a greater need to keep almost all their customers. I suppose its cheap impersonal service vs not so cheap personal service. Cheers, Simon

Jerry I'll tell you what YOU suffer from .... verbal diarrhoea.

So you don't suffer fools gladly and me even less ..... GOOD !

I will assume your spelling of 'ignoramus' as ignoranus is just your normal poor use of slang.

You say I know nothing and think even less ... but "I think, therefore I am" ...... cogito ! I know enough to insult you without resorting to slang, swear words and CONSTANTLY repeating myself, unlike you, with the same insults ..... or should I say truths !

Kind regards

Please reply via group. It's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of fight in the dog.

Q How are they able to sell the Bachmann Thomas range when Bachmann do not hold the licence for that range in the UK ?

Well, obviously.

That doesn't explain why the licensor doesn't take action against them.

In most on-line groups you will find people on the autistic spectrum. They are prone to having almost zero tolerance of people expressing views that differ from their own.

They also tend to be against both the principle and practice of blogs, personal web space and the like because they perceive these as being places where views are expressed that they cannot shout down! They dislike Wikipedia for the same reason.

Bachmann hold the licence for the USA. The Bachmann 'Thomas' models are sold here without faces - as purely freelance models.

SNIP normal bad taste

You=92re back JC ! Someone told me you had died ....or was that just wishful thinking.

I think we all wait with anticipation your next positive contribution to the group ..... which based on you past posting history should be about May 2019 !

So you don=92t like me posting press clippings to the group ....

I have three comments to that :-

  1. It=92s called being friendly and letting like minded people know of upcoming events you are aware of, still you don=92t have any friends or a mind do you !
  2. If you don=92t like my posts put them into your =91kill file=92 .... but then you=92re so large a TROLL you are afraid someone will say something about you. I have news for you YOU=92RE NOT THAT IMPORTANT !
  3. GOOD :-)

Chris

It=92s not etc etc

Does anyone else have a feeling of déjà vu? Or is the poster someone with an obsessive compulsion to repeat himself?

Ah. I thought the assertion was that someone was selling the actual US licensed Thomas models in the UK.

What's your problem with that? So long as ther are related to UK Model Railways then I'm quite happy with them as I'm sure are many others who read uk-r-m-r.

You may be right, but I was just relating the legal position. It's very difficult in a free market situation to completely stop the sale of franchised items in non-franchised parts of the world, although I suspect if it became endemic here in the UK Hornby would take action.
