  2. Hi In response to a few questions comments that have come up on the Arb Surplus chat. I (Jonesie: Justin) sold the business in 2017 to an investment group, to allow my dad to retire and financial security for my family. I managed it for them for a few years until they brought someone in to try and grow it to what I believed was not realistic they did everything I told them not to from 2020 and went through several CEOs during the process. At that point I should have walked away but tried and failed at trying to encourage them to turn it round and go back to what we did best, there were people in the business now sitting above me making wrong decisions daily. Trust me I fought it, as I still had a personal investment in the company but not big enough to make a difference in decisions. The thing that kept me there was the staff, family, customers and an industry I love. There is a lot more into what happened at the end, but I honestly can’t say for legal reason as I’m still fighting it. All I can say is I did try and fight for the customers to the point of being threatened to be arrested and removed from the premises. It put me in a very bad place for while – but I’m now out the other side of that with a different outlook on life. I’m now doing a few hours a week for Arb Surplus, it reminds me of the old days of a small growing business like FRJ was in the early days and enjoying seeing it grow in a controlled manner. I appreciate that there are people out there that will have been caught up in it all and suffered, I can only apologise again as I did at the time. No one should have lost any money as I was assured by the Administrators, they everyone could claim their money back. (apart from me) I'm happy to try and answer a few questions on here.

  13. Hi We don't keep it in stock yet, as no call for it. But it's overnight to us anyway. And not sold any so not sure on the price. But cant imagine it will be expensive.
  14. Hi All We have sold over 100 pairs and not had a single complaint, only heard good things. I think it will take a while for people to get into them, I also think it wont be long before the other manufacture start doing the same. If anyone is unsure. Feel free to buy a pair, try them on & have a walk around indoors, and if you don't like them send them back for a full refund. It's one of those items you need to see and try to fully appreciate.
  15. We use DPD as they are the best of a bad bunch. Our contract with them is to always receive a signature unless otherwise instructed. If you have the App and have told them to leave it. They did exactly what you have asked. If we had instructed them to leave it, that would be down to us, but we didn't. Not sure what else we could have done, If you contact me on Monday I will see what we can do to help with replacements at cost for you. I cant help today as I've had a massive robbery at 4 this morning myself. (not work this time)
