« on: April 18, 2005, 03:43:44 pm »
I sent an email to suzo.co.uk on friday to request a catalogue as they are the european supplier of Happ parts.

This is the reply I received.

If you are going to place an order with Happ US - first ask Ponyboy (You can find his For Sale thread in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum...). He is a little cheaper than Happ, but his shipping and turn around times are much quicker, and he is a friendly, helpful guy to deal with.

I placed an order with him (I am in the UK too), and there was no problems at all - I will certainly deal with him in the future.

As for Suzo UK...they can go bust for all I care. Not only do they have the shittie$t web-site known to man, but they fail to answer emails, rarely have items in stock ready for dispatch, and generally, cannot be bothered with small money orders.

I would vote with your wallet, and take your hard-earned cash to a dealer more worthy...Andy @ Ultimarc, Ponyboy, and MikesArcade are all worthy dealers IMHO...

That's a bit worrying. I bought some stuff from Suzo a couple of years ago and the service I received from them was pretty good, and IIRC there was no minimum order either.

I guess since the merger, Suzo now has no real competition so we'll probably get more of this crap in the future.

Yeah, I also contacted Suzo UK recently, trying to get hold of the Wico translucent leaf buttons (still no luck on those, anybody?).
