Anyone in Cornwall have dealings with FR Jones?

[Big T]

Hi,

 

Im looking to get my CS30/31 soon and will need some gear (PPE, etc) Being a Stihl man I would like to buy some of their stuff, I have looked on FR Jones`s website and they are very good on price but I cannot order from them as im not a "Known Customer". I understand that this is Stihl`s policy and I think its a good idea but makes ordering stuff abit tricky! Does anyone down here in Cornwall have any dealings with FR Jones, if so could I use you as the delivery address??

 

Regards,

 

Anthony.

Hi Nick,

 

Thanks for the reply, it seems that they have someone in Redruth that can act as a middle man. Im only after some PPE at the mo so looks like its sorted! Where abouts are you?

They will sell to professional users as per stihls policy. The best thing to do is give them a call.

Where are you based to Anthony? so have you had any experience yet?

Good call on Fr Jones. I bought my saw from there and am currently on my CS30/31. I was able to get to them and sign the form. But they offered to send my saw to the course provider instead. Give them a ring and check with your provider and you'll have a shiny new saw for when you start your course.

Why do you need to provide certs? I thought that was for arborist saws only.

A friend of mine bought his PPE from FR Jones when he was training, he did,nt have to provide any certs to buy PPE.
