Unhappy Thread

Two of ours have lithium batteries, which it says last 10 years. To be fair, when they failed and I pulled them down, I'd written the installation date on the side as being 1/1/15, replace by 1/1/25, so they've done what was advertised. I haven't replaced them yet as they're $60 each.

One of them doesn't beep, it says, "Fire, fire, alert, fire fire" in a weird female voice.

Marginally better than it singing 'London's burning', I guess

"London's calling" by The Clash would be ok though, except I probably wouldn't get up

I made an order from Osborn Models on Feb 4th, 2026.

Haven't heard a word from them since.

I've emailed three times, just wondering about the status of my order. Nothing.

Currently Unhappy, veering towards the Angry Thread soon.

They have history Scott for not replying, seen lots of things I like on the site but would not touch them. Different suppliers respond in different ways, the best keep you informed despatch etc.

Unfortunately there are numerous threads on this subject on numerous forums. If it is in stock you'll probably get it quickly but if it's not you'll pay your money and end up having to claim it back. Their website has no bearing on what they actually have in stock and communication is non existent.
