Skyshop in QLD (skyshop.com.au)
Has anyone bought something online from skyshop.com.au?
First they forgot to send item for over a week, then they say they will send express. Order does not arrive for 1.5 weeks, they do not answer phone, or reply to phone messages or emails.
Order still has not arrived its been 3 weeks
Just want to know if anyone else has had issues with this shop? or has anyway to contact them?
I urgently need my headset and books for flying training.

I have picked up stuff there..... But the owner is a little unusual. And he has couriered stuff to me also.
Most likely slack than anything else, have not any reason to suspect he is dishonest so far.

Recently I purchased from them and chose the pick up option. Received an email a few days later saying that option is no longer available and if I wanted to proceed I would have to pay the cost of postage. I went ahead with the purchase and after a week nothing had arrived. Sent email to them and finally just under 2 weeks after placing the order the stuff arrived. I can get things quicker from the US then this.
BTW the owner also owns a flying school (RAA) at Redcliffe.

Many Australian suppliers must buy their stock from the USA, because the stock is branded in the USA.
Many Australian businesses use ‘just in time’ supply chain management, because it reduces the amount of money sitting on shelves and exposed to exchange rate fluctuation risks.
You join the dots to work out what happens when you submit an order, in Australia, for an item branded in the USA.

Bought a couple of DVDs on line from Sportys in the US. Arrived after 4 weeks but did indeed arrive to address as indicated. Credit card appropriately charged. All good!
Only bought there as they were unavailable in Aus.

Stay away from this clown, he has a shop just down the road from YRED and I have been in to buy stuff when I'm in a pinch. Unfortunately the closest shops are either YBAF of YBSU.

I have been trying to get a response for a few days from them as well but nothing.
On a similar topic does anyone know where to purchase cloth flying helmets (the ones that fit David Clark type headsets)? I've tried several of the bigger pilot supplies shops but none seem to stock them. Any reputable US places online that anyone can recommend?

Did finally get in contact with him on Monday evening. He told me he has been in Germany for the past two weeks, hence the communications issues.
Anyway my order was hopefully sent express on Tuesday so should be here on Thursday.
