    Its my observation that Lloyd might prefer you to call him and report it before 'going public'.

    Give him a call.

    You don't say what time on Thursday, if it was too late for that day despatch it would not go until Friday, which would make the next day Monday as weekends don't count. Unless you paid for Saturday delivery, which is usually even more.

    just an extract from bar site.....

    BAR Order Processing Policy

    Next Working Day Delivery
    Online orders requesting Next Working Day Delivery must be placed before 3pm on Monday, Tuesday & Thursday to be guaranteed next working day, and before 11am on Wednesday to be guaranteed next working day.
    Orders placed on Friday for next working day delivery, will be delivered on Monday.
    Orders placed on Saturday for next working day delivery will be delivered on Tuesday, as the order will be collected by the courier on Monday for next day delivery.

    Orders placed on Sunday for next working day delivery will be delivered on Tuesday, as the order will be processed and despatched when we are open on Monday for next day delivery....

    the original poster states he ordered before or around 10 am thursday so by bar own standards should be with him by friday.unless item out of stock and i think bar would of said so.

    not having a go at anyone all the guy was asking if this has happened before he may of asked before he rung Lloyd at bar and made himself look stupid.

    if ive paid for goods on next day delivery and before a set time on the day i orderd the goods id expect them to turn up aswell.due to the fact id have taken day off work or wife had to stay in id be a bit peed off too.

    Of course he has a right to air his views Ian. As anyone does.
    But did he call BAR to discuss it? If he did, great....perhaps he should quote what Lloyd said to him during the discussion.
    That may have added another dimension to the original post.
    Just my thoughts.

    I think anyone would be peed off if goods promised on next day delivery didn't arrive. However, the thing I would do before going anywhere else is to the phone and ask if there's been a problem. We can all analyse the situation, but none of us knows the facts. Only BAR do, and they haven't been given the chance to explain. And they shouldn't be expected to do it here. It's not really anyones business but the customers and the supplier. Once they have resolved the issue, then maybe we could be told, if anyone feels like doing it. Personally, I'm a bit tired of public trials by fire. Give BAR a chance to do what they do well.........customer service. ASK!

    I once ordered a silencer from a chap who makes his own. No...it wasn't from BAR.
    I paid my £ and then had a 3 week wait before i even heard a word.
    During this time i rung and rung and rung, getting more and more ****ed off that i hadn't even been told there was/wasn't a delay.

    I felt justified to put up a post asking if he had gone to mars or something.

    I then, after getting a response to my post, found out that he had been ill with a long standing illness.

    I was then put at ease that there was a legit delay.
    It eventually turned up. But calling his workshop was the the first avenue of investigation.

    It's not a question of not being allowed to air his views, but it is common courtesy to allow the vendor to try and rectify, or explain the reason for, a percieved problem before bringing it up on the BBS.

    Doesnt mean BAR are at fault. The carier may have stuffed up. Parcel Farce regularly dont appear on the day they are expected.

    Call BAR and they will confirm.

    They have a top end reputation on BBS along with JSR

    Most of us did'nt think you were having a pop at BAR.
    But the thing is, over the last few years folk have often been to quick to bring an apparent failling of a well known shop/shops to the public domain.

    In this case you say you had rung them etc....thats fine.
    Like Lloyd says.

    ''And just for the record one more time, no problem people mentioning anything about us on the BBS, but surely it makes sense to speak to us , not ask everyone else what happened to their order, only we are going to know the actual problem.
    How about ringing and speaking to us, and if you are not happy then post on the BBS''

    Maybe it would have been best to wait until you had spoken to BAR before bringing this into the public domain?
    You did'nt do wrong. Just that most would have got a response from BAR first.

    What a dope, Stainless Steel looks sooooooo much better

    On the subject of ordering from BAR, I did so last December, I was told the engineer who makes the S/S bits was rather busy so I would get them as soon as they were made, I kept in contact and as soon as they were ready they were dispatched, if you don't keep in contact with them, then how are they supposed to know there is a problem?
