Sealey customer service

Okay, today I'm writing about my experience with ordering a Sealey motorbike lift.

On the 29 April, after seeing Sealey products recommended on a youtube channel, I went to my local shop and ordered a motorbike lift. The lift I ordered was on promotion and came with a free tool kit  (Motorcycle Lift 365kg Capacity Hydraulic with Portable Tool Chest 2 Drawer with 90pc Tool Kit) . The shop phoned sealey to make sure that the lift and toolkit were in stock and sealey told them that delivery would be in about a week.

Just under a week later, the motorbike lift did arrive. However when I went to pick up the lift from the shop, they told me that Sealey had changed the expected date for the toolkit and that it would be a couple more weeks.

Two weeks later, I rang the shop to see if the toolkit had  arrived, and they said that they had phoned Sealey and Sealey had moved the date for the toolkit. it was now expected on 23rd June.

Well, you can guess what happened next. I went to the shop on 26th June and they told me that Sealey had changed the date (yet again). the toolkit was now expected on 4th August.

I have emailed Sealey and the reply I got back just said that "as soon as the stock arrives" the orders will be fulfilled.

so it seems to me that Sealey don't have any timescales for getting the toolkit in stock (otherwise they would have given me a date).

So on 4th August, I will see if the toolkit becomes available. I'm not holding my breath though.

let this be a lesson. only buy Sealey products that are in stock whereever you order them from. Or just buy a different brand.

What does "Full Stack" mean?

I've been a software engineer for a little while and I see the term "Full Stack developer" more and more, but what does it mean? Okay, let's walk through what a complete system will comprise of and see if we can work it out. UI First (from the users perspective) is the UI. It's how they interact and really all they care about (as long as the application does what is expected of it. Here is a list of some UI technologies that I know of AWT Swing Qt Android XML MFC and VB OpenGl Vulkan Communication Protocol Next up is the communications protocol (as most applications these days are a thin UI talking to a backend server (we've gone back to the mainframe era!) RPC FTP SNMP SMTP DDS ActiveMq/RabbitMq Network Layer The communications protocol has to be transported between the client and the server somehow, so here we have the network layer IPX/SPX Token Ring Bluetooth USB Server So now we have data being transferred between t

Triathlon Training in the new year

So, my 2019 training has got off to a good start. I'm running regularly and my knees seem to be holding up. I've got a training plan to get me to a middle distance triathlon in September and I am managing the run distances I have set myself. I need to find some longer cycling routes to work and ones with a few hills too, but that shouldn't be a problem. my weekly cycling distance is okay, I just need to move to get my ebike to be doing less of the work. last week I did use my normal commuter bicycle and managed the whole four days as well as my runs, so that was a really good sign. Swimming won't be an issue, I have always found that to be the easy part of a triathlon (not that I'm fast, but I can keep going, and I did manage to swim the distance within the cut off time when I tried the ironman 70.3 last time) The main worry about going longer is my knees. I've got a 10K booked in late January which will test my knees out and I'm hoping that they hold

Project Z750 part 36 - the finalle

I took the bike for a quick test ride round the block and it was fine. it actually cornered now that I had sorted out the tyre pressures. and the brakes all work. I gave the bike a quick look over and noticed that I hadn't marked the rear caliper bolts. (I mark each bolt when I tighten it up to the specified torque so that I can see if it loosens up. so if you look at my bikes you'll see white dots on a lot of the bolts.). As I hadn't marked it, I hadn't tightened it up fully, so I torqued it up and marked it. The bike shop I use managed to fit my in for an MOT before they went off to the Isle of Man Classic TT, so that morning, I got my gear on, wheeled the bike out of the garage, said a quick prayer (I'm not religious, but it can't hurt), and I then put my life in my own hands. I mean that even though I ride every day, I had never before done this much work on a bike. I'd changed braked pads, but never replaced the brake seals, and although I had tor
