feoffee2 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hi I have heard that the website has changed and that the decals are now coming from Brazil and the reliabiity has improved. Can anyone confirm this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 A member of Airliner Cafe reported that he had successfully ordered from Brazil but he was careful to point out that it was a one-off. Here's the thread: http://www.airlinercafe.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=10058 See post 67491. The only source of Brazil/Gio Decals I personally would trust is Guillherme Kosciuv who is a member of Britmodeller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feoffee2 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the sheets I am looking for do not seem to be on eBay. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 You could always take your chances on an order from the "warehouse" in Brazil. It seems to have worked for Airliner Cafe member Exile so you never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feoffee2 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Hi I will see if I can get them anywhere else before I do that. Thanks Edited January 15, 2018 by feoffee2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodadriver Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 He uses his own name on BM although I see I mis-spelled his first name - it's Guilherme, not Guillherme. A pm through the site should reach him. Alternatively he sells on eBay under the name kosciuv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feoffee2 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi I sent them an email on there website. And for the first time ever, I got a reply. I don't know if this is new but it makes me wonder if something has changed. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzz Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Based on a Canadian friend's success, I too ordered some items before Christmas. I've had to chase a bit but now have a tracking number and this is recognised by Brazilian tracking sites as having been posted 12 January. I'll let you know when I do in fact receive them. I paid by PayPal for protection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busnproplinerfan Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I just got a notification the decals were sent,no tracking number though. They are coming out of Brazil. I asked Kosciuv if he had the sets himself and he said he doesn't, so I still had to order through Modelstwo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Re my order, the Brazil post tracking (3 updates now) says a package has been forwarded to Great Britain. Hope it's actually for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feoffee2 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Please let us know if they turn up. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 These are certainly encouraging signs. It would be interesting to know if anybody has placed a second order with the Brazil warehouse. According to the discussions on BM and Airliner Cafe, the Polish operation sometimes managed to send the first order but things then went off the rails with second or subsequent orders.

busnproplinerfan Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) I just got this email in response to me asking for a tracking number. "Yes, of course you can. I will have the tracking code updated next Monday at Auctiva Commerce and to your e-mail directly. Many Thanks Alex " it's signed Alex but was sent by Rafal Batowski, see what happens, maybe he's a note taker.

buzz Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) ^ I had a similar message from Rafal (no mention of Alex). There was no subsequent update or email. I chased again and got the tracking number which appears to be a package of something going to someone in the UK. My reference to "something" and "someone" will be familiar to those who suffered losses in the original Gio days (prior to the infamous Alex) when people were given other people's tracking numbers and packages often had ordered items missing.

busnproplinerfan Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'm still waiting for a tracking number. I sent him the third email about it just tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanthony Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Finally got a tracking number yesterday after placing my order on the 6th. Current status is "Posted - Sao Paulo", and expected delivery end of february to mid march...and to think I really believed the extra couple euros for priority shipping would make a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Well, it looks like the nonsense has started. My package was delivered today, two hours after I'd left to return to Switzerland. I just spoke with my wife back home and only two of the four sheets I ordered were sent (the two I wanted most were missing). I've emailed "Rafal" to see what the excuse is and what he proposes to do. Could be another PayPal claim shortly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
