Blip - Blank?

[Bluerex]

Hey Ozzie fliers, have any of you had any recent dealings with Blip? (http://blip.com.au/default.aspx) I bought some props of them a little while ago and their service was great.
BUT I recently tried to order some connectors and a crimp tool ($129 - not exactly a fortune), and..... nothing. My credit card was debited (damn, I knew I should have used PayPal) but no confirmation e-mail and no answer to any communication since (e-mail or phone).

Blip - if you are out there, please pick up the phone!!!

Cannot help you with Blip but Monaro Hobbies have servo crimp tools, I have several in different sizes if you just needed a few done.

Cheers

Pete

Nah, thanks Pete - I have already bought servo crimper from the good folk at Monaro
I was after another Anderson crimper (after my last one vanished without a trace)

I have access to a full McDaniels crimp set if you needed some done.

What connector do you want to do?

Just in on my email:


"We're really concentrating hard on new product development, and we've decided to wind down the web shop offerings.

Prices on many items have been reduced substantially - but there is only limited stock.
There's no back orders possible, sorry.

Why is this happening?
The web shop requires quite a large amount of resources to operate, and it's very hard to justify continuing with it. We've got an amazing workshop set up, but spend most days stuffing boxes, finding lost postage, sourcing parts and waiting for couriers.

Blip isn't closing, we'll be concentrating on product development and manufacturing rather than reselling products that are freely available from international resellers."

Just phone Ben and sort your order.

And when I check back at Blip....

We're not disclosing the telephone number at present - there's only one or two people here at most and we're just too busy to man the phone as well.
Please use email!

Nic, if you have a private line to Ben, please ask him to contact me.

Money refunded (thanks Ben) but no correspondence despite trying e-mail, SMS, mobile and phone.

Oh well, not my business.
