bakerboy Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 eley hawk , you should be ashamed of your after sales / quality control procedures , production targets are fine but quality control is second only to safety etc . your products aint cheap , we deserve a certain standard . we await your reply . They hit the production targets, but what about the Clay targets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoL@Uall Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 clayslayer, Can I deliver my faulty Olympics to you to take into work ? Being as <name removed> cannot be ***** to reply to mine and other's complaints. Do the Ambers have shot in them, decent primers, correctly fitted wads, correctly shaped metal heads, powder in them, and a decently finished crimp, or even a crimp? Because I can assure you I have Olympics that haven't as well as 23 in a box and non-sellotape sealed boxes , and top sealed and bottoms not allowing cartridges to fall out of the bottom. Finally do Eley Hawk have any vacancies for quality assurance engineers? Is this why <name removed> shoots Caledonians? Because he cannot guarantee the quality of a product that he manages. With your manners (lack of them) and your language, I am not surprised you don't get answers. I wouldn't respond if it was down to me! Also, don't show your ignorance in a public forum; Caledonian belongs to Eley, so Thom@s can shoot either if he so wishes and I cannot see the problem. Last but not least, I would urge the moderators to remove any posts with names on them as they could be taken for slander! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 The review of the shells was lacking in technical detail and a bit too gushing. As a review - I have to say I thought it was awful. Knowing that the OP works for them, I think it was amateurish, as well. This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might I suggest sir that this is not a gentleman's approach to joining a forum ,you obviously are something to do with the company in the way you defend the product .if you were to have had this approach in a pub conversation which had nothing to do with you ,you might now be pushing your tooth broush elsewhere than your mouth to clean your teeth Now get off your high horse and introduce your self properly before you continue to use the forum Deershooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last but not least, I would urge the moderators to remove any posts with names on them as they could be taken for slander! It seems obvious to me that you work for Eley too? Personally I think you've just lost out on a really good opportunity to promote your company and it's products. Yes, I agree with most on here that 'clayslayer' could and should have introduced himself before singing the praises of his cartridges. It's just basic manners. I'm sure if he had done so he would have had a lot more interest in the product he was trying to 'sell'? He, like you, should take a leaf out of David BASC's book if you want to get along on here. Explain yourself, be polite and helpful and you might be surprised at the reaction. Have you just blown it? I'm afraid that I think you have, which is a shame as it would have been good to have a major manufacturer on the forum.

welshwarrior Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Well you know what I was stuck between opening a trade account with Eley or Express today. Both only a few minutes drive from me very handy. Eley didn't respond Express did and offer me a tour of their place, after these two I think I'll take the tour. Shame wife would like a pink cartridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakerboy Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 And I was thinking of using both cartridges for the Kids / Youngshots days I run. You only get one chance to make first impression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Express make some good shells the HV21g are great. Those and the 20 bore manga sonics are my preferred novice coaching cartridge. And I love supreme game 30 and 32g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Express make some good shells the HV21g are great. Eley make some good shells too. I've used the Eley Blues for years, and they're a great little shell. I particularly like their VIP Trap cartridge (they certainly do the business on pigeons). Finally their Lightning Steel shells are nothing short of Superb (another cracking Eley cartridge). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Shame about the way the thread started and is going. OP should have declared his colours and promoted what will probably be a decent shell. I have used Eley Olympics, Blues and Superb. All are very good. It just so happens that Fiocchi are doing shells which are as good, if not better, at more competitive prices - thanks Webber. Then a newby dives straight in with support. The whole exercise seems ill conceived and executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del T Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Totally agree on Eley not responding to emails which is pretty **** poor.We had a situation where we arrived at a fibre only clay ground only to find the brand new 250 slab of carts we had brought with us had a mixture of plastic and fibre carts in each 25pack. Not just the odd one or two more like 50per cent of each 25pack.Eley couldn't even be bothered to reply. We've bought thousands of these carts but when we finish this last thousand that will be it, onto another brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therealchucknorris Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 If the newbie does actually work for the company I think it's incredibly and form to pick a handle Lol@uall. Firstly it's nice to know that people who work for the company are treating members of one of the biggest shooting forums with such contempt. Secondly, it would seem that person would be more suited to running a Facebook page if they want to use childish phrases like that. Shame people feel the need to be underhand on forums such as this. Surely if you're going to post be open and honest about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominicrobed Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Glad Gamebore is my first choice. I don't work for them just always been a first choice for me. Eley is now my last choice. Shame as I don't think I will be the only one thinking the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aris Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 . It just so happens that Fiocchi are doing shells which are as good, if not better, at more competitive prices - thanks Webber. . My RFD refuses to sell fiocchi any more due to a batch with dud primers. I suppose all vendors have their bad days - what matters is how they handle it.
