tom woods, excellent service

[Vern]

So last week I ordered my tom woods front and rear shafts, placed the order Thursday via FAX, tom made them and sent them the same day, arrived here Tuesday morning:D.
Not bad from the USA to here, quicker than getting stuff from interstate.
And the shafts aren't to bad either:), much bigger than the 110 rear I have, and better quality as well.
I would highly recommend his company and his workmanship,
Very happy chappy:D:D

Tom woods shafts, highly recommend them:D

I can't rate him highly enough either. Absolutely delightful fellow, and his customer service, communications and relations are 2nd to none. Loves a chat too and takes his time to do it!

[gavinwibrow]

Howdy - any chance of indicating purchase and transport costs please?

[Vern]

$1k, conventional type shafts.

Yes he also finds our slang interesting, so I chose to use a bit in our emails. If you have a strong pommy accent though, email him, don't call as he tells me he has trouble understanding it. I don't, but emailing is easier for me.

Yep, great bloke.

UPS stuffed up addressing my first drive shaft (Tom had addressed it correctly) and I picked it up via tracking that it was winging it's way to Austria via Germany.
Tom had it stopped at UPS's big facility (Kentucky ?) but insisted on making me a new one one.
I kept saying it's ok, just wait till the old one gets back to you but he made and shipped out a new DC shaft that day !

UPS outdid themselves and 'lost' the first shaft, no one could find it.
It eventually turned up here many, many, many weeks later.
It had travelled via Germany and Austria :rolleyes:
Tom was just going to write it off and give it to me, but I was able to 'sell' it for him and Serg got a bloody cheap DC shaft. (If I ever deliver it :angel:)

What, $1K all up for 2 shafts and freight ex US for a RRC LSE? I'm going to have to talk to this man.

[Vern]

Yes. $1066, such better shafts than stock, rear shaft would be 10-15mm larger in diameter, 1310 uni's, wide angle. VERY happy with mine

[Vern]

While I'm still at it, I did the final fitment of the rear shaft today. Now everyone with a d1 or classic rr know how much of a pain it is to get a socket onto the bolts on these things, well not with toms, 3/8 drive and correct socket, straight on, that to me was worth the money:D
