Any thoughts on the new Axminster catalogue?

johnelliott

Mine came the other day, pretty much the same as before, but the changes are always interesting. Axminster must be the biggest retailer of our toys so what they do is always worth a close look.
Pictures of Axminster delivery vans, and free next day delivery (over £45). I haven't had much in the last month or so but what I had came by ANC, and the next day too
Rojek machines feature heavily, I wonder where they are made, probably Eastern Europe. Is this a good thing? Got to be better that the far east?

I feel crushed - I haven't received mine yet! Still, considering how much I have spent at that place, I suppose they are getting mine leather bound and it just takes a bit longer. Laughing

I too am crushed its not arrived up in sunny scotland as yet, always is an interesting read, I think Rojek are from the Cheque Republic but i'm sure andy will be along soon to confirm
they seem to be a bit late this year i normally have it around mid July, i guess they had a few late arrivals

Humph. Once again the Tamar gets in the way and I, too, have yet to receive a copy. Crying or Very sad

I think I only got one late September last year, and then two came at once. Rolling Eyes

I have a bet with myself that the Lee Valley one'll arrive all the way from the Colonies before the APTC one makes it all the way from Devon. Any takers? Laughing

Cheers, Alf
