Anyone have any orders they are waiting on?

Their domain expired yesterday and is now gone. Either it's an honest oversight or they are out of business. Was about to place an order with them for the first time yesterday but they were missing some stock of what I wanted so I held off. I'm glad I did now.

Their website has been flaky over the last while. Hopefully it's just an oversight.

i ordered a couple of fittings a few days ago... payment was taken yesterday. They were very low in stock though, i was looking for other bits to see if I could add anything to the order, but pickings were slim.

Saruman (Reuben Gray)

I wanted some disconnects and they showed fine but once I got to checkout it said they were out of stock. That was annoying so I didn't go ahead with the other bits I wanted.

They never responded to any emails either.

i don't think they ever responded to emails... i did get stuff from them before and there was no issue.

Saruman (Reuben Gray)

That's a bugbear of mine. Not responding to emails when you are an internet based company is just wrong.

I agree! it's counter-intuitive... not responding to any kind of customer contact if you give them that medium as an option is annoying!

Dont buy those disconnects Reuben. They dont seal. Ive 8 of em here that dont work properly & leak wort all over the place (stainless female quick disconnects are the issue - the males are fine).

Hmmm I have one set from THBC but wanted more. Haven't used yet as I'm not done building the brewery.
They are what the electric brewery uses.

Wyh is this in the "For Sale" section Reuben when you are not selling anything ? This should be in general discussion afaik and i think you would agree,i know it was just an oversight on your part i am sure. ;D

Not an oversight. It's in the for sale section as people who are looking for something that is for sale are likely to check here. It's all about warning people that there might be an issue with their orders.

Perhaps it belongs somewhere else but it's getting the attention it needs here, especially since at least one person who just made an order is now aware so can try and contact them to be safe. I would call that job done.

If you put it in the "General Discussion" section it would be in the correct section and still get attention,this is for stuff for sale ;D

They are the same in looks but arent the same quality from my experience. Morebeer ones are the original QD. All the rest are chinese copies & you can be lucky or unlucky with them.

Good to know.
Since they were out of stock anyway, I was going to get from brewbuilder.
