tinytim38 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Shame to see the shop go bust as it was fairly local (50 mile round trip), however I must echo what most others are saying about the total ignorance of Master Andrew Litt and the vast majority of his staff, they would be all over you like a nasty rash when you were purchasing a gun and completly ingore you next vist, even push past you to suck up to someone who was percieved as one of ther lovies , this comes as no suprise to me as this has been on the cards for a while now listenining to the grapevine, was not happy when I left a rifle with them last year to have a moderator fited they promised me it would be back in 2 weeks when I rang to check it was back from Nigel Teagues they were totally dismisive about my questions and told me to ring back in a weeks time turned out to be 4 weeks later I got it back Oh well Peter Keen has a captive market now he should see an upturn in sales as long as he revises his prices they are reasuringly the most expensive anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallowbuck Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Agree with the majority of your comments TT but I have to honestly say that I have had a good deal over the years from Keens. Especially David ,"Dai" ,you can always haggle with him and you usually get a mutually benefical deal ! P.S They also don't talk to you like your a peasant or a moron!

Snotty Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I just got a letter from Deloitte and Touche, their liquidators. In my experience liquidators usually dither until the available funds = their bill and that's an end to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallowbuck Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Any update on this? I read on another site that Andrew Litt had been escorted off the site by Police officers !Is there any truth in this or is it spite?He wasn't one of my favourites but I wouldn't malign people without good proof! Seems to get murkier! :blink: :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taff Mason Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 i heard that a new shop only selling carts is to be opened on the site. an when i was at tree tops the other day they said andrew is looking like he's gonna take the wrap for some dodgy deals, like not putting firearms through the books and failing to register guns. and they said all his houses, property and loans are secured on the business too.

fallowbuck Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 So what about Tree Tops what is happening with that ? I never used it but it will be a severe blow to many if it closes. Lets just hope things can be turned around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantheman Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Not want to kick someone when they are down, but I have spent a fortune at Litts over the years, their customer service was ****, but as there was no where else really to go, you just had to get your supplies from there. I have spoken to many a person at shooting grounds who have echoed the same sentiments. They could have had their customers and more, they just got too big for their boots and I felt they always talked down to people. This is all IMHO, as a customer who used to live in south wales. Tree tops was almost as bad, very good ground if you could get it, only they wouldn't go the extra mile to service their customers. I have many a time rang to arrange a slot, but could never be served. It had nothing to do with being too busy, it was a matter of I can't be bothered. As they used to say years ago, its easier to keep the customers you got than to find new ones, how true. Eitherway, I am still saddened by this even though I no longer live near by, it was always a place you could go and mill around! Just my 2 cents worth.
