I live in Belfast, everything else is posh to me.

They are special tattoos that pathologically prevent you from replying to emails.

That reinforces my belief that people with tattoos don't understand basic social etiquette.

I watched some of their YouTube vids very briefly and got bored....very quickly.

I am surprised that Crimson has not got there act together a bit better on the mail order side.
We get hammered if we don't get stuff out next day. There seems to be a trend here for 7-14 day average.

especially as they are heavily using the internet for marketing purposes. In this day and age, a week to get anything is considered a long time. 

All that said I understand how crap UK courier services are and how much trouble we have with them. As we grew we were given a limit to how many parcels they would collect from us per day if we went over they would not take anymore as the drivers van was full. Not prepared to put in an additional collection or anything the answer was simply tough. So we changed but its all a pain you dont need.  

I placed an order for their luthier's starter pack about 10 days ago.  Heard nothing from Crimson so gave them a ring today.  Apparently the order is "in a drawer" and all the tools are being hand-made as we speak!  Apparently I should have known this but there's nothing on their website to say that things are made to order (if they really are).  So I can expect a delivery at the end of next week.  The idea of keeping things in stock is clearly a novel one to them.

This is all a bit of a shame really because I like the Crimson videos and was hoping to have a good experience buying from them.

So for anyone wanting something (tools at least) from Crimson urgently, forget it.  There's a quoted three-week lead time.  I'll update the thread as and when the package actually arrives.  My manky-fretted guitars will have to stay that way a bit longer.
