Anyone ordered from Happ in the UK?
« on: April 29, 2002, 09:12:04 am »
I ordered 2 universal joysticks and 16 pushbuttons(several colours) from Happ. But since im in the UK it gets sent from their uk warehouse. Does anyone know how long it takes to get them? I ordered on the 22nd of april.

I've ordered from Happs UK 4 or 5 times. It has varied between 1 and 4 weeks to get my orders but most take about two weeks. The four week wait was because they had to get a two way bracket from the states. It maybe because you have ordered a number of different coloured buttons, some of the colours maybe out of stock.

Overall Happs UK have always been very good for me.

Good luck.

I ordered a load of joysticks and buttons the week before Easter from Happs UK.  At the same time I ordered a Spinner from Oscar controls.

The spinner arrived 7 days later on Easter Saturday.  "good man that Oscar".  I was expecting a 14 to 21 day delivery time here.

Happs had sent me a fax confirming ny orders and that the parts had been picked from stores.  Not sure if this is the UK or US stores  ;)

I rang them after the Easter bank holiday and they confirmed that it was about to leave for depot for delivery.

I waited another week, rang them again and they were surprised it had not been posted.  It arrived the next day in the Royal Mail.

Now I'm not complaining here.  It arrived in the end and yes I will use them again.  Karen in sales is always very helpful and patient when you give her part numbers just to confirm the UK pricing even if you don't order the part.

I was just a little impatient as spinner is not much good without buttons :)

Regards

i just got them today, so it was pretty quick. Only about a week. But it would have been good if they told me how much delivery was going to cost.

Yes.  I remember them telling me that they will tell me the delivery cost once the items had been picked and the package weighed.  I told Karen just to work it out and bill me as I wasn't worried about a few quid delivery charge.

In the end, delivery was under

Well, I ordered only tons of pushbuttons, but it took them only three days for delivery - to Germany! And they are very friendly over there. :)
