Online Ordering

Post by Luke »

Fellas,

Short story about my Online Ordering through the years.

In 2+ years (2018 to 2020) chalked up 60 online orders from Slot-car (UK & US) Hobby Shops ;)
  • List of orders:
    15 Professor Motor US
    13 Lendons of Cardiff UK
    11 Electric Dreams US
    10 Pendle Slot Racing UK
    08 132 Slot Car US
    02 AC Models UK
    02 CincySlot US
However - when I first started online (slot-car) ordering, it was way back in 2001 from Scale Models UK ...

Over time went to other online (listed) shops & because of FRC 2007 early racing days ... there was a next one named HotSlots 132 https://www.frcforum.com/viewtop ... f=7&t=1116 and in 2017 sadly closed their store.

For the records - my online invoices use to be filed away and unfortunately, being kept in the lowest filing drawer - they were destroyed in 2012 from floodwaters coming into my home which completely covered lower filing cabinet.

Nonetheless, afterwards never bother filing away any other invoices until March 2018 ... Hence the reason what was recorded.

That said, think I placed an average of 2 orders per month for 19 years which in total, adds up to 456 plus 4 online orders.

Hope this story was a good read 8-)

Yeah boi Steve ... it is some kind of record and why I probably had enough of this hobby.

Mind you ... I did mention total of orders was only an average.

Btw ... sure you too have "some kind of record" with this enthusiasm 8-)

Thought I should mention this as well, to help put (any other person) thoughts at ease ;)

A good amount of those 400+ orders (about 50%) for 19 years, were not for my personal (slot-car) use but rather bringing home the bacon with purchases made for a number of other racing comrades :)
