Try contacting any suppliers for many different products atm...many aren’t picking up the phone. Many are open themselves but their suppliers/manufacturers have furloughed staff.

Exceptional service when I ordered some MAQS a few weeks ago!

I buy from them regularly - really good service in my experience. I have never had to contact them though.

I have an order pending for almost 2 months with then going to email again at end of week. Ordered several things mainly a pollen trap and queen pheromone strips. Other others from them have been v prompt. They did reply quickly to my previous chased email

I cancelled an order from Maisies last week (nuc broods + QXs). I rang to find out why it was taking so long and they said they had a three week backlog. I ordered the same items from STB and they arrived in two days. Cheaper prices than Maisies and cheaper shipping too.

C Wyn Jones have also been spot on. I have ordered twice over the last month and the delivery within 3-4 working days.

Received a delivery myself - first time I’ve used and happy to recommend. E-mail query answered quickly, order placed and goods received.

Had a delayed delivery recently from Abelo, I ordered an extractor, got my order pending email, very soon followed up by an apology stating my item was out of stock & had to come from Poland. I was offered an alternative product but declined stating I was happy to wait. I was kept informed of the order status throughout & it was even arranged to be delivered direct to me from Poland to speed things up. Damian was spot on replied to email enquires within minutes and when I emailed to say the extractor had arrived but had a euro plug (not an issue) I got a quick response & an adapter within 48 hours.
Sometimes deliveries are out of the control of the supplier and I accept that provided I’m kept up to date of the progress and offered alternatives or refund if the delay will be lengthy. For this Abelo & Damian gets my thumbs up

We all have to remember the risks people are taking to deliver stuff to us, whether its a week or a month delay, in big scheme of things at the moment it means nothing.
As for Abelo, cant beat them, I have waited for five weeks for nine grands worth of equipment, not a problem, fritz, ten weeks for a custom built uncapper.
we are lucky most things can still be sourced where a lot of business is struggling for the essentials.
