kloon Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Serious question lol. Reason I ask is Scoobyworld told me they had taken mine to be painted on 1st August and it would take around 7 days but as yet no sign of it. Any painting experts on here give me an idea how long is reasonable to wait before I start bending their ears ? Have emailed them twice for an update but have had no replies from them[]
bryan_taylor Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 You've waited MORE than 3 times what it would reasonably take - get on the phone and give them a boll0cking!![] Bry

[] Problem is because it's through Finance I haven't actually paid anything yet, so giving them a "bollocking" is nae really on !

Sure you can mate, the fiancé company will be totally independent of Scoobyworld ... I would phone a give them a gentle nudge ..
Auldy Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 got my wing mirrors, front bumper and air intake duct for my bonnet all prepd and painted in a day, and wer fitted back on the car next again morning. so dont c why u aint got your spoiler yet [^o)]
A11YKF Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Depoends how busy they are i suppose. It took 2 months before i got my prodrive spoiler back from the paint shop just aswel ive got patience.

It only take's a short while to paint anything, but if there are 200 in front of yours then your 30min slot could take a while to come around, and patience is a virtue, failing that, phone the B*****S up ahd give them Mary Hell!!![]
kloon Posted August 15, 2006 Author Posted August 15, 2006 Well I first placed the order back on July 19th so i'm sure another few days won't hurt me []
chrissy Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 tbh a spoiler can be prepped and painted in a day, as for there being a queue then think about how many colours subarus come in, if they have 100 spoilers sitting to be painted then they could do them in a bulk spray (wr blue most common) get on the fone n chase it up thats way too long! chrissy
philip_wilson Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Well I first placed the order back on July 19th so i'm sure another few days won't hurt me [] Well I'll be ordering one else’s were if that’s the sort of lead time they have [^o)] very poor show.

To be fair the finance company did f*ck up my application twice, which led to 2 weeks being wasted, so can't blame Scoobyworld for that.
DR Motosport Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 If it's a fibreglass based spoiler, 3-4 days should be normal, that's from rubbing it down for prep'ing to it's in the box for shipping. You can't oven bake fibreglass so natural drying is required during the priming, base coating and lacquering. Then it has to be dry obviously for polishing. There are a few tricks of the trade to quicken things up slightly, but that depends on how you schedule the paint shop. A plastic part, like a bumper can be done in a morning, because it can be baked. David
Wee Jock Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 I had the whole front end of my car done in 3 days! See here: http://forums.sidc.co.uk/forums/750447/ShowPost.aspx Oh and its minted! []
kloon Posted August 18, 2006 Author Posted August 18, 2006 Am I now being unreasonable to think someones taking the p!ss ? At the fourth attempt I finally got a reply from them on Wednesday which said they were hoping to collect the spoiler from the paint shop that day for delivery on Thursday, or Thursday for delivery on Friday and they would contact me when despatched. Now here I am at 2.30pm on Friday and still b*gger all. Taking into account the f*ck up by the finance company (no fault of Scoobyworld I hasten to add), that's now one day short of a month i've been waiting for a Spoiler and a 3 gauge pack. Funny thing is i've used Scoobyworld in the past with the minimum of fuss, always been excellent service and I don't think i've ever seen a bad word said against them, maybe i'm just unlucky in this instance [*-)]
craig mac Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Kloon This is not acceptable at all in my mind. I would be sorely tempted to tell them to poke it PM Me your address dude Craig

kloon Posted August 22, 2006 Author Posted August 22, 2006 Latest from Scoobyworld: Hi We are very sorry, we are extremely busy at the moment and the sprayshop are doing their best to keep up with the demand. Unfortunately, your goods are still not ready but we will chase again today and keep you updated. Not much consolation now the paperwork has come in fron the Finance company and i'm now losing days on my agreement.
craig mac Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Ari Tell them to stick it m8 Contact the finance company explain what is happening and tell them to poke it too This is comical service You could have ordered one from USA and had it hear faster Craig
kloon Posted August 22, 2006 Author Posted August 22, 2006 It's getting that way Craig, I appreciate sprayshops get busy but that's over 3 weeks they've had it now, i've never had to wait that long to get accident damage repaired !
philip_wilson Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Very poor show []. Tell the to stick it m8
oz *sti* Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 yep tell them to stick it mate and take your custom else where.
ian_rowburrey Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I ordered mine a week ago Friday via a finance agreement and recieived them this morning! No reason at all for you to be waiting any longer than you have since your order was clearly in before mine!! I was on the phone every couple of days though just to keep a tab on where they were, just keep calling.
RA Dunk Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 another vote for telling to shove it where the sun dont shine
