Last year, just before Tandy Manchester closed, to top up an order, they offered me about 8sq ft of belly leather cheap-ish. I got it, and got taken. It was bits about 6 ft long varying from 1/2 inch wide to 2 inches wide. Covered in clamp marks and scars. 10 strips of useless is what I got. PS: where ya bin LD2? Working hard, trying not to catch any ‘lurgies’, and hugging trees. Although I have been lurking on and off. By your post, I see Tandy has an interesting concept of 8ft2 (bless their little cotton socks). Might explain why they closed down. Quote “Equality?

Members chrisash Posted April 11, 2020 Members Report Posted April 11, 2020 Feel for you that was crap leather offcuts and not a good advert for the company, If I received that I would send in a complaint, you dont expect perfect leather but you should expect to be able to use what they supply Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me

Texas brushed it off saying it was a branch matter, take it up with them. . . . ! To describe what I got was; you know when you get a hide and cut off an edge so you have a nice straight edge to work on? I got that bit that was cut off. I was assured that what I was going to get was usable even though it was an odd shape, supposed to be one piece as well. afair about £2.50 sqft. = £20. I've never been done badly by Le Prevo.

I second Le Provo, they are stars, and quick to call if there is a problem. I just wish they weren’t so far away from me, as I’d love to have a good rummage in their bargain corner. Quote “Equality?

Members Retswerb Posted April 18, 2020 Members Report Posted April 18, 2020 Hey @TonySFLDLTHR, care to chime in on the pic above? Definitely not what I’d have expected to receive either. Quote

Definitely not what I’d have expected to receive either. Thanks for asking me to comment and @TestTube thank you for send a picture of what you got. Compared to the picture that is on the web...I don't know how I would have felt either and reached out to the community like this. What I also like to see is people giving their honest feelings about what they have seen and not just throwing shade. With that being said I am going to send this to Rusty and let him see this. While these scraps are going to be cut offs...this seems to be quite aggressive in the other mark ups. I would expect pieces like this in a bag...but not sure that it should just all be in one bag. So let me pass this on and see what I can make happen. ***Like another asked and for my own thoughts. Was the 2lb weight at least correct?*** We also did a video some pretty bit up leather and I will post it in a reply...It however is not dented up like this. Quote
Members TestTube Posted April 23, 2020 Author Members Report Posted April 23, 2020 A little update: So @TonySFLDLTHR had sent me a message a few days ago telling me Springfield wanted to send me a replacement for the order. I have it here now and it's night and day better. I'm trying to upload a picture but my phone isn't being very "user friendly" at the moment. Anyways, thank you Tony, Springfield, and whoever else was involved. It means a lot to me that a company is willing to do that unprompted and I couldn't have asked for it to be handled any better.
