Has anybody had dealings with this store?

I came across their website at http://www.tahs.com/  and send a request about some of the stuff they have advertised there but haven't received a reply.  I was just wondering if its a live site anymore?

They're usually quite good, even for a Family Run business...

.... but unless you're standing right in the shop their response does to be a bit leisurely. However their stock levels are awesome!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

They are pretty much an old school outfit. Ive had a fair few dealings with them over the last 15-20 years. Never had an issue with them. Thou ive never needed to mail order off them.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

I'm surprised that I've had no response after nearly a week.   I'll leave it a bit longer before I try again.

Whilst they are on the net, a phone call to 01895 442123 will get you a much quicker response. Enormous stock and free mail order.

Mind you, I am biased - I have been shopping there for about 32 years.

A little more difficult for me as I'm Downunder.

Perhaps you could pop in and ask them to answer their emails?   :mellow:
