Thread: Important notice to Victorian customers

You must be excited. I remember making the same move a few years ago. You just can't get it together fast enough....

I don't know if its the shade of the colour or what, but the Timbecon colour is not quite right and I dont think the British racing green will be much better.

Orange Bah.... we want PPG haliquin with carbon fibre and billit alloy trims, bling bling!
If your a car nut,ford fans could have Blueprint... holden fans could have Tiga mica.

Hague, hope you dont change color before I get my DB1248 sander, it'll look outer place with the other 3 shades of orange!

I have a Leda jointer and thicknesser, both green. The sort of industrial machinery green that all the older machines were. Doesn't look bad doesn't look great either, it's just paint on a machine.

I have that green as well on some of my machines. It's understated. I dont think you would call BR Green understated.

If you can't make a driver stop in Adelaide then you have failed to make me and other south aussies happy.

After seeing this thread, I thought "hmmm nice thought, excellent pro-active service and I need a couple of things, I'll go order them from Timbecon". So despite the fact that I live in Canberra and get no benefit from the possible reduced transport offer I shot off to the the Timbecon site to buy.

Total item cost for a few bench top connectors $27, weight 1.2 kg. Transport cost $13. Insurance $1 extra. I can get that much shipped from the US for nearly the same price.

At a 50% transport cost I cannot justify buying no matter how much I respect the retailer .

Can I suggest that a Timbecon warehouse on the eastern seaboard - no selling just despatch for east coast orders. You could bulk ship consolidated orders and a basic stock level and then distribute locally. Anthing to reduce the transport cost barrier.

PS The ACT is midway between Sydney and Melb (kinda) and would be a great place to open a store

Not quite Charles. Canberra is what, 3 hours from Sydney, and about 7 from Melbourne? However, down here at Pambula Beach we are 600km to Melbourne and 500km to Sydney. The perfect spot!!

Timboon's the best place for their eastern supply depot.
Not too hot - not too cold.
Far enough from the cities to deter whingers coming in to gripe about the paint wearing off. :eek:
Yet near enough to Melbourne & Adelaide to do daily deliveries with regular transport companies.
Far away from Queensland

I know it's off topic, but I ordered a few router bits from timbecon on Monday (hoping they'd be here for Friday), and got them on Wednesday morning!! WA to VIC.


Gonna try an 8" jointer next. I reckon it'd be here before I ordered it!!!

Thanks so far Timbecon, great to deal with. NP.

Now, about that freight charge....................

The correct colour was GFBRG (go faster Britsh Racing Green) but to make it work you needed the two white go faster racing stripes. Boy does this bring back memories.

You must have access to a different Timbecon website to me. I wanted an 8" jointer. Not one to be seen. Sigh. Maybe an Hare & Forbes will have to suffice.

Jim,

Look Here

Took a bit of fancy footwork to find it.

They might be sold out, the last advert in my letterbox said there was only a few left that was several weeks ago...
