DJ Simons Brochure
Hi,
Is anyone in possession of the latest DJ Simons Moulding catalogue and if so, what is it please?
Any advances on Spring 2011 that I have at home?
I often ask them for the latest catalogue but it's never forthcoming and their website refers to 2004 being new, so enough said perhaps!
Thanks,
Sean

Re: DJ Simons Brochure
They really are an odd company - very nice/pleasant/helpful and all the rest, but the little things, like asking for something sample or a catalogue normally takes ages to get sorted. I had to wait months for the 'latest' catalogue.

Re: DJ Simons Brochure
I find them to be very helpful, samples come quick, never anything too much trouble, the rep, is very good at dropping off any catalogues I need.

Re: DJ Simons Brochure
They send me 12" samples, two per reference so's I can make corner samples, which is very generous, but being an ungrateful git Arqadia and Nielsen win me over by providing - and sometimes free - reverse-mitred chevron sets for all the ranges they do; all pre-labelled and with velcro dots backed up with staples.

Jammy sod. Arqadia have just charged me £17 for two chevron sets. Time for (another) moanRoboframer wrote:Arqadia and Nielsen win me over by providing - and sometimes free - reverse-mitred chevron sets
Re: DJ Simons Brochure
I'll re-phrase .... Nielsen always free, Arqadia depends, Larson Juhl sets free with a spend of fifty quid from the range, the rest you mostly have to pay for. Still, chevron sets is what I want, not some rep saying if I buy a pack of each whatever he'll give 'a bit of a discount' for having to make samples myself.
Nope - want samples, not stock.

Re: DJ Simons Brochure
Holroyd in Glasgow give me a free metre length of whatever I want to make whatever chevron takes my fancy
Re: DJ Simons Brochure
Nielsen recently started doing plain woods, just oak and ash for now, which is fine as that's what I like; off the top of my head there's about 8 profiles in each. They sent me a set of chevrons, all velcroed and labelled, FOC, very nice, thank you!
But the thing is they never go out like that, unfinished, even just neutral waxed they'll look different. I only neutral wax or lime oak, but ash I finish in about 8 different ways, so really I need another set of oak chevrons and another 7 sets of ash chevrons. Spoke to rep, no problem.
Top that!

Re: DJ Simons Brochure
At the start of May the Arqadia rep agreed to send me out a free set of chevrons of all their new mouldings.
I'm still waiting

Re: DJ Simons Brochure
Well let us know if it ever happens so's I can ask why they'd never do that for me!

Re: DJ Simons Brochure
Centrado will also send out chevrons with velcro, they are fast becoming one of my major suppliers, service and quality is the best I have come across .

Sounds like my Arqadia rep, when they did arrive, they were not the ones I had asked for, last time I saw him was the last time they were at the Spring Fair

Re: DJ Simons Brochure
Our arqadia rep, is extremely reliable, we get samples requested within days of his visit. I guess we see him every 2 - 3 months. Very good company to do business with.
