Savoy Hill Publications
Has anyone used this company recently? http://www.savoy-hill.co.uk/index.htm
I made a mistake on the payment page while searching for the pay by Paypal icon. I have emailed the company about this and have not received any reply. I dont want to send a cheque now as they havn't responded to my questions. Malcolm |

Re: Savoy Hill Publications
I made the same mistake Malcolm. Heard nothing back so didn't proceed with order. Paul can be a bit difficult to contact sometimes though.

Re: Savoy Hill Publications
I sent an order a good while ago now and sent payment by cheque, but have not heard anything back!

Re: Savoy Hill Publications
Thanks to all. I have now ordered the parts from a different supplier.

Re: Savoy Hill Publications
I noticed last time I tried to make an order with them that the pay by Paypal button has gone, that was a good few months back. I didn't bother to go any further with the order and found the parts I needed elsewhere. Shame as I used to buy all my capacitors from them!
Does anyone know if they are actually still trading? Regards, Lloyd |

Re: Savoy Hill Publications
I was just going to start a thread on this very subject!
I made my order on July 7th and received a confirmation email. The cheque was sent on the same day, but I have still not received anything to date. A follow-up enquiry to the 'sales' email last week has not produced any response. I don't know if its simply because he's a one-man band and is on holiday or has had some kind of family crisis, but with no feedback we can only guess. A shame, as he had all the parts I needed at reasonable prices. This is my first experience of this company, so naturally I'm disappointed. Steve |

Re: Savoy Hill Publications
I have used them quite a few times in the past, mainly for capacitors.
Never had a problem, although delivery was on the slow side. I now use CPC, who are cheaper and offer free delivery. Mark |

Re: Savoy Hill Publications
And with very good feedback too. Obviously, they'd just abandoned their website. Good to see they've pulled it altogether now.

Re: Savoy Hill Publications
Good to see that they still trade on ebay, I suppose it's easier for them to just list stuff on there, no hassle of keeping a website up and running!

Re: Savoy Hill Publications
I've just clicked the link on 'The Pillenwerfer's' post #12 above, and all I get is a 'Sorry this shop does not exist' notice, so maybe they have ceased trading altogether now. Anyone know for sure?

Re: Savoy Hill Publications
I tried to telephone Savoy Hill, but the reply was "this number does not accept incoming calls".

Re: Savoy Hill Publications
The website has also disappeared, I think we can safely say they are no more.

Re: Savoy Hill Publications
The e-mail still works, at least it wasn't bounced, don't know if they will reply though!

Re: Savoy Hill Publications
They were excellent in providing manufacturer's service details on radios. The trader sheets are alright, but if you require further details then you are stuck.
