    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    The reason for asking is that Alfred has nothing for sale on the USA EBay site, thought he might be trying to catch-up on orders, but I’m assuming he’s selling on other eBay sites? VR Andy

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    One point is that, when my original order was placed, it was for the old style arm with expedited delivery, and since he missed the delivery over and over again, eventually agreed to pay him the difference if he’d send me his latest & greatest…. At one time there was a picture of the original...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    Maybe he’s actually going in some sort of sequence, my order was about 5 months ago, although he’d told me 2 weeks originally, obviously hi health issues played a part:confused: Definitely have something coming, received a DHL delivery date via email this morning…. Hopefully he’s getting back...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    Another missed shipping date! Two weeks ago Alfred sent me an UPS shipping label with tracking number, after a week of no tracking history I contacted him to find out what happened, he never shipped, but promised to ship today, 12 April….today there’s still no tracking history. There’s a...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    Won’t get into all the details but after several messages back and forth he finally agreed to honor his offer for the new style banana arm, but I’m not paying the difference until the day it ships… It’s truly unfortunate that it’s gotten to this point, Alfred does some incredible work, but he...

    Unfortunately I’ve had several promises like that from Alfred, he even told me he was Express shipping mine at one time… “(March 5th) Hi Andy,I'm working on your tonearm and it will be shipped this week. I'll make the firm booking with DHL on Tuesday and then send you the confirmation from the...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    Funny you should ask….all Alfred did was to create a shipping label, he never actually shipped the arm:mad: Because I’ve been waiting months for an arm promised in January, I had offered to buy whatever arm he had ready, so today he said he would ship me an arm new banana arm Friday for 850...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    The seller has to interact and approve the offer….in the past I’ve offered to buy whatever arm he has ready to sell or ship, built a plinth that’s waiting on the arm to finish. VR Andy

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    Alfred just sent me an offer via eBay to save 100 pounds on his new tonearm! Now that tends to ruffle the feathers of someone waiting on an arm that was promised in January :(

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    @shadowlight I‘m curious what the estimated delivery date(s) were,? it’s generally several months on his arms, so one has to wait until after the latest date to get eBay to get involved…. By eBay projected delivery date(s) Alfred still has a couple of weeks left to deliver my arm. However...

    Well, once again Alfred didn’t meet his own expectation, no shipping or tracking number….My hope and wishes are that he gets ahold of his business and stop making promises he can’t keep. Andy
