DJ Simons Brochure

[Bagel Framer]

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

latest is 2012 with a 2013 supplement and price list, sorry, price guide.

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.

[Steve N]

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.

[Roboframer]

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) moan

[Roboframer]

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.

Holroyd in Glasgow give me a free metre length of whatever I want to make whatever chevron takes my fancy

[Roboframer]

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!

[pramsay13]

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

[Roboframer]

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

[IFGL]

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

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.
