Rebreather World Store - Closed for Business

kiss221 · 11th August 2008, 14:20

Is anyone able to confirm whether the Rebreather World Store is still trading.

I have been trying to contact them regarding final delivery of parts ordered (4 months ago) with no success.

The UK number does not seem to work anymore. Barrie Law's voice mailbox seems to be permanently full.

I hope they're not out of business.

For what it's worth, during their hayday they delivered a good product for a good price - and on time. I hope this is temporary and that everything will work out.

Regards,

Bill

Everyone, the UK store is up and running.
Andrew has taken over operation from Barrie, so you'll need to contact Andrew.

The US store is closed, see Andrew's post below and contact him.

Dear All,

I wanted to update you with regard to Rebreather World Store in the US. As you know from the outset we wanted the store to help make Rebreather Diving more affordable and help drive down the cost of consumables. In the US we really focussed on the cost of Molecular Products' Sorb and spent a small fortune sending out a 20 foot container so we could offer cost effective sorb to Rebreather divers.

Since then we have seen Molecular Products open up in the states providing what we do direct, resulting in the price of Sorb now being realistic for US Rebreather divers and we have also seen the cost of sensors drop to a sensible level everywhere. This coupled with the impact of the mortgage and credit crunch on the economy means that the US store is just not viable anymore.

As a result we have closed the US store to all new orders. All existing orders are currently being fulfilled and if there are any issues please contact me directly: andrew@rebreatherworldstore.com

There is no change in the operation of the UK / EU store. However, I would ask that anyone who wishes to contact the store contact Andrew directly (email above). We will continue to sponsor Rebreather World which is the extent of our relationship with Rebreather World but will no longer have our own forum.

All that remains is for me to thank James who has made a valiant effort and put a lot of work in to the store.

Thank you to everyone who has given their support,

Andrew
