Tankzone

Post by tomhugill »

Much against my better judgement I thought I'd give them another go (mainly because they're the only ones stocking what I needed, Kong tiger metal swing arms). Package arrives quickly, unfortunately they're tiger 1 arms. Email Kin to say what had happened and get a message back with appologies saying he would check with dispatch and get back to me. So far so good. Unfortunately that's the last I've heard. I've sent several emails chasing him for an update but to date complete radio silence.

I know! it's the exchange rate that's the problem, not your prices.

Just heard back from them, so hopefully Tom will have too.

Not very inspiring, Tom. These two products don't look remotely alike, and have entirely different part numbers. For someone who has been in the business for many years, this rudimentary error is simply inexplicable. It's also fairly unforgivable. I don't think I shall ever use Tankzone.. :thumbdown:

Stians are tk24p , so you can use a programming cable to change the sounds, tank zones are stuck with the same sounds

Clark charges $20-30 more for the programable ones from memory
