Am I psychic?
If I remember correctly I mentioned about a month ago that I was sending off some orders for track for stage two of the layout.
The bulk of the order went to ehattons, but they don’t sell concrete sleepered track or electrofrog single slips, both of which I need, so I ordered them from Southampton Model Centre.
The ehattons order was delivered within the week, despite there being a small problem with the credit card.
But four weeks on the items from Southampton Model Centre have yet to arrive, and even more annoyingly the emails I’ve sent to them have remained unanswered. So today I picked up the phone and called them. They told me the delivery from Peco had only just arrived and would be packaged up today and delivered tomorrow.
Which is interesting, since I quite often find when I phone up a company that they are in the middle of packing my order, the items for which have only just been delivered. So, is this curious psychic phenomenon unique to me or do others also experience it?
I’m just sorry that my psychic powers somehow made me forget to ask why my email enquiries had gone unanswered.
So, hopefully I can get on with some tracklaying this weekend. And if I need more items that ehattons can’t supply I’ll be surfing the ‘net to find a different supplier to try…
