Control Line Central ???
« on: August 13, 2011, 07:04:43 PM »
I've had a set of lines on order with Control Line Central since May 16th, and still have not received them yet.  Are they still in business ?   :-\

They have a house full of family and friends visiting this month....plus their annual contest coming up soon.  Remember: they work full-time at "real" jobs.  The CL business is secondary.  They'll get to you when they can.  These are honest and honerable folks.  Don't despair!

I received an order this week including rtf lines; however another set of lines was back ordered.  I usually get orders within a few days, but this time it took a few weeks.  They have always been very dependable.

Go to "Vendors Corner" and read their apology. They had a lot going on at once. That being said, your order may have fallen into one of life's cracks. While all this was happening, I had ordered some paint stencils from them. When I called to inquire because they hadn't arrived when expected,Emily discovered my finished order sitting on the desk waiting to be mailed. To make it up to me, they gave me my stencils for FREE!  The wait didn't hurt me any, and who doesn't like free stuff? I will certainly be a repeat customer.

If you've been unable to reach them, send me a PM. I am going to the Albuquerque contest next week and will hand deliver a message for you.

You know how long ago May was.  This is now August.  I know Jim and his family and they are great people.  If I don't get something from in stock within a couple of weeks I E-mail him.  As stated, go to Vendors Corner and read what's been happening. VD~

With the help of Bill Bischoff I finally got my back ordered set of lines after more than twelve weeks, phone calls & e-mails to Control Line Central. I guess God is trying to teach me patience.  ;)

I've asked God to grant me patience, AND BE QUICK ABOUT IT, several times.

Just read on the Barton Forum, that Control Line Central have lost all the info from their buying carts. So if you have placed an order recently, it may well help if you tell them.

Can the Tom Morris controls be purchased by Tom Morris or do you have to go through Control Line Central? I need a set for a green box Nobler

Give Tom a call. He will take care of you fast. Note that he was at the King Orange over the weekend so he might or might not be available for a day.

I recently received a wing set from Jim, and the response time was reasonable.  A typical "second job" being family run which, as we all know, can be tough at times.
