A nightmare year. Back in November 2019 we wrote abut
"Our main man has gone into hospital for a few days for a
colonoscopy & stoma so responses are further slowed until maybe
14th, sorry about that. We'll be back up to (minimum Covid-19) speed
as soon as we can, many thanks for your understanding. Most
online is otherwise operating almost normally and orders are being
despatched almost daily, so we're open for online business! In
fact we never closed! However, all routine events, including
email enquiries, online orders, technical queries, etc., will
probably take just a little bit longer to complete compared with
when we are at our best. Thule are particularly slow, currently
taking a week or so to despatch".
Despatches & Deliveries are still slower
than we would have liked, some orders still go out the same day but
order-despatch deadlines tend to be a bit earlier in the day due to the difficulties of working
within Covid guidelines - very few warehouses,
if any, were laid out
with 2m distancing and one way pedestrian traffic in mind!
A few ranges like the direct-ship Gasit & Dunlop products may be despatched only on
restricted days each week. Although seasonally dependent, a broad guide to service
times under Covid-19 would be sent out within 1-3 days and delivery also within the following
1-3 days, this overrides all other site info. Thule products are
particularly difficult right now - currently taking anything from 5 to 10 days from order
placement to delivery. But see also the Supplies info just below! Overnight/rush service is no longer reliable because
all our carriers have withdrawn their service guarantees and even their refunds for
late delivery. If you add express/rush we will send out on an 'overnight'
service but cannot guarantee the results.
So, Last orders are on their way out this week 07/12/20 to
12/12/20. These will be the last despatches this year now, our
apologies for all the delays and false hopes - as fed to us by some
of our suppliers, importers and manufacturers.
Out of respect for our many long-standing faithful customers - and
suppliers - our home page will offer wider news and explanations
about us ceasing to accept any new orders online for the time being
- and all this should be visible here sometime later in the week. We now
expect to be able to post more accurate news here of products, their
delivery times and customer refunds with all to be completed before
Christmas as far as possible. Very many thanks to all for your
patience in these very difficult times.

Customer Satisfaction:
"Thanks
Neill, order received 11am this morning - wow, super quick. Thanks again for
an exceptional service. I did find the Froli write-up and links on your
website to be very helpful, to determine it's suitability for my
application"
" ... I
have now been trying to replace these locks for 6 weeks you are my last hope
... locks are now fitted and working. Many, many thanks for your help"
"Just a
quick thank you for helping us out with the lock. It was received the
following day, very helpful telephone conversations. What a great world it
would be if more people had the same work ethic!"
"What
an incredible service. I did not order this until Monday evening and I
arrived home this evening, Wednesday, to find it had already been delivered.
Many thanks. Now I will have to go away this weekend to try the awning. Very
pleased with all your advice prior to the purchase and delighted with the
delivery. All the very best to you."
'Je viens de recevoir ma commande, super! Le modèle
est identique à ma pièce cassée, merci beaucoup pour vos services'
"Thanks so very much for all your
help. It really is much appreciated. I can assure you it has not been the
same from other places. I will get my order stuff together. Look forward to
doing business with you. I really enjoy exploring your site."

Why Us - Reviews?
We take on-line international payment via PayPal and many
products can now be shipped to Europe. Other export is rarely possible and certainly not to
the US - OZ -
RU - Japan - etc! But see also
www.foward2me.com
We very rarely take telephoned card details now but for your security as well as ours we can only ship
such orders against UK & Ireland cards to a verifiable UK&I address with a valid delivery contact number.
Carriage? Our Special Offer is
extended into 2021 - carriage is FREE over £100 value - on-line orders only.
Carriage & Shipping
Most products under £100 incur very modest UK mainland carriage charges.
Higher value orders are carriage paid. Many
are large so this shares the real cost between us. Just a few like long awnings
carry an extra charge as indicated on the shopping page and in the cart; some items may be
priced 'delivered'.
Ireland North and South is increasingly expensive for mdm to large
items. Gas cylinders are impossible to send offshore - both Ireland & wider Europe.
But see FAQ
OZ/US/Japan? Sorry no!
VAT? - is included.
Invoices on request.
Carriage? Our Special
Offer
is extended into 2021,
£4.95 to £6.95 max but FREE over £100 for on-line orders.
A few items that are extra
heavy or over-length may carry a small extra charge, this is always
clearly shown in the shopping cart - before paying. We're working on
reducing those, tricky though in times of strongly rising transport
costs. Gift season! Maybe Dash-cams, Dog
Duvets, TVs, LED lights, Blinds, Inverters, Gaslow, Gennies?
Missed our
Black Friday Sale? Nevermind - see our other offers:
there are bargains on Silver Screens, Blinds, Swivels, Steps,
Carry-bike, Omnistor Awnings, Generators, & more. 'Search site' for 'cashback'
/ 'offers' to see individual pages, also offer details via the red link
near the top of cashback pages.
Example last order dates for despatch before Christmas?
Mostly 22nd but some like Omnistor on 17/18th with the earliest being Gasit
on 8th Dec at around 1pm-2pm, closely followed by ourselves. Applies
08/12 - 04/01 min.
Have a
good one!

Credit Cards
& PayPal: We take most EU credit and
debit cards on-line via PayPal
- even without a PayPal account. You can check out with or without a
PayPal account (just ignore any pressure to create an account!).
European Shipping is normally 29.00 GBP but can of course vary according to product
type, size, weight and destination. Ireland, both
North & South are often the same unless 'jiffy'' size or large / long /
heavy. Norway is always very expensive due to extra admin / taxes. N- & A- codes can be sent to Europe.
Batteries & Thule-Omnistor, Gas Cylinders, most Smev
and some Dometic just cannot.
Gas cylinders are to mainland only. Thule products often with
R- codes are also expensive to get to Ireland. All our prices & quotes include
VAT. Need a quote?
Use our Quote Machine:
Add product/s to your shopping basket to see the total price. Standard
mainland carriage is calculated and appears on the first or second page of
checkout (depending on your own arrangements).
No login or registration or commitment to payment is required to view this
and you can 'cancel and return to merchant' once viewed.
Extra cost/s for export to Europe and any known Highlands and Offshore are
always add-to-cart button items and not calculated, We will email quote for
other Highlands & Islands carriage and will gladly email instructions on how
to easily pay that.
Std Carriage costs apply to GB
Mainland 'standard delivery zone' only, this excludes the Scottish Highlands, Islands
and all Offshore. Please see FAQs menu for
more information on all this, on checkout hints, returns, exports, personal
forwarding worldwide, searching and finding on the site and more. Manufacturer and Distributor stocks seem more stable of late so we're
certainly hoping for more stability on supply across the board.
Other news. Apr 2020 Dilys is taking this opportune moment to resign her
partnership - to take (semi) retirement to enjoy her painting,
bird-watching and garden. Dilys may occasionally continue to assist in an ad-hoc
back office role. At that point motorcaravanning.co.uk will technically become a sole
trader business run by the founder Neill King.
Others are involved of course to make
a business this size run efficiently but they are not actually employed
by me nor by motorcaravanning co uk.
last order dates for despatch before Christmas?
Mostly 22nd but examples include Omnistor on 17/18th, earliest being Gasit
on 8th Dec at around 1:00pm-14:00pm, closely followed by ourselves.

2020 has been a thoroughly torrid year for us here
at motorcaravanning.
We
started the year with the news that our founder and main man has cancer.
This was a bit of a shock but rapidly followed by the unwelcome news
that it isn't curable plus all that stuff we've all had to live with
through - about Covid-19 and its associated lockdown/s. All in all that
has really made a mess of our business model and subsequent
infrastructure - not least because we did take a couple of wrong turns
early on when likely outcomes were still very unclear.
Some
others have suffered similar problems and the ne'er do wells have been
quick to capitalise on any weaknesses with their scams and online
attacks. it really has been hard work keeping adequate control. At times
we haven't fully managed that and I must sincerely apologise for those
unexpected failures.
All this
means we are in desperate need of an overhaul and a major reset so we
can regain control over the accuracy of delivery news and of refunds
especially. So in fairness to our loyal, long suffering customers, to
fulfil our obligations to both customers and suppliers we will suspend
all order processing this week - as soon as we can regain control of
those essential 'back office' processes.
So, yes, during w/c 09/12/20 we will close down
all fresh orders while we clear through overdue deliveries and
re/payments.
2020/1
Trading News
Trading issue of the year has o be the impact of Coronavirus and the
various lockdowns. Prices in general have been held low but then again
so have supplies. There is increasing evidence now of major suppliers
and manufacturers cutting back on ranges so we expect quite a few
products will simply disappear in 2021.
Back to Brexit as the main price and supply topic now then!
Some increases are 'above inflation' for the UK but many products
are based on world materials commodity prices -
copper & rare metals in electronics and downstream oil products
as in hi-tech fabrics, etc., so a 'level playing field'.
Consumer activity is still very erratic, largely due to Covid-19 but
also quieter than usual over the two winter periods and so possibly also
waiting for some stability on both lockdowns and Brexit. The feted 'Boris
bounce' seems to be drifting away now!
So yes, NB Please: During w/c 09/12/20 we will
close down this website to all new orders and will cease / suspend
trading here while while we set about clearing through our overdue
deliveries and re/payments.
We'd like to see the site return, even if under new owners or
management, all that will take a while - but fear not. we will get it
done for you!
And can I thank you all right now please - anticipating your patience
in these vey difficult times. |
