Anyone suffered any real issues with delivery times etc using Dark Sphere? I am also interested in regular orders as my last supplier was really good to start with then service gradually went downhil, I don't want to end up in the same situation again.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546704/5957399.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546704/5957399.page GMT Dark Sphere supplying GW goods, any issues?

I do not think he's asking as a regular customer, but rather as a storefront.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546704/5957432.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546704/5957432.page GMT Dark Sphere supplying GW goods, any issues? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546704/5957447.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546704/5957447.page GMT Dark Sphere supplying GW goods, any issues?

Sorry I am asking as a regular customer, ordering online. Sorry if I wasn't clear about this. (Changed subject to avoid further confusion)


S'ok. I didn't for a second think anything different. Kan, being in Murica, probably didn't realise that Dark Sphere are a retailer and not a distributor.

The same caveat remains as does on all these "how good are..." threads though, it looks suspiciously like GW are jerking their indys about when it comes to supply of new product recently, and that would be outside of any retailers control, no matter how good.

For items that are in stock, or non GW products, they are comfortably as good as anyone, and the first place I go to for GW stuff, and are on a par for non-GW with Troll Trader and Wayland, albeit they don't always quite have the depth of range of those two. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546704/5957523.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546704/5957523.page GMT Buying GW kits online from Dark Sphere as a regular customer, any issues? It's a shame as they used to be really good, now its almost painfull :-(]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546704/5957543.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546704/5957543.page GMT Re:Buying GW kits online from Dark Sphere as a regular customer, any issues? GW have been playing 'hard to get' with independent retailers recently. Dark Sphere have got as good a rep as anywhere I have heard of, but these days I think it would definitely pay to make a phone call or send an email to check physical stock levels before ordering.

There is also an issue with pre-release orders - again reports that indies have ordered in x amount, have been told they are going to get them, then the allotted amount don't show up resulting in angry customers. So I guess in that sense ordering early is probably advisable (as most places will operate first come, first serve) - of course you can go direct, and pay the extra 20% or whatever, but in my opinion that would be condoning what I think to be deliberate behaviour on GW's part concerning their belligerent policy towards the 'little guy' of smaller independents struggling to survive in what is already a tough climate for retailers.

I saw the Eldar releases come in the weekend they were due, and when they say an item's in stock - you can believe it's in stock. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546704/5958004.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546704/5958004.page GMT Buying GW kits online from Dark Sphere as a regular customer, any issues? GW have messed independent suppliers about, but maybe indies (in this case total wargamer) should let the customers know that this is the case rather then a blackout of info/communication etc.....
