What's happened to the Weather Shop?

[Coast]

Anybody any idea about what has happened to what must have been the UK's only dedicated weather equipment shop, down here in Eastbourne?

Haven't had a chance to get over there yet, but have they gone for good?

Bought my Davis Vantage Pro from them a couple of years ago. They were great. Would be a shame if they have gone!

[Coast]

They are (were?) only a couple of miles from where I live, so I'll pop over at the end of the week. Always great free advice and weather courses that it looks like I should have booked before. Lets hope they aren't a victim of the economy like so many other businesses.

I got all my weather display stuff from there just a shame seeing them closed

Does look as though they're in the process of liquidation unfortunately.

Damn, obviously couldn't make it work, even through the effort of some friendly, knowledgeable staff.

 

Must be time for a Netweather online shop then...

I've used these guys for a while now so it's  sad to see them go bust. They always provided a great service and went that extra mile when things went wrong.

It was confirmed over on Ukww a few days ago that The Weather Shop has sadly ceased trading.

Very disappointing indeed I got my Vantage Vue from there, saved myself £100  compared to other shops.

I've brought rain gauge from them before and weather books. Sad to hear of there demise, just goes to show in struggling time for small businesses .

Very sad to see this place go. Ive bought to majority of my weather equipment from there over the years and always had good service and communication from them.

 

I guess the problem these days is that only weather enthusiasts purchase more expensive equipment as those with a light interest can get very cheap stations from almost anywhere now.

[Dorsetbred]

Damn, no wonder they had an absolute stunning bargain on the Davis kit recently, and I let it go.

Mind you I have supported them on more than one occasion over the years, and they provided the best service.

Damn shame.

I brought a new davis Vantage Vue from them two months ago and had great service, the weather station is faulty already, I emailed davis tech two weeks ago with the diagnostics readings who confirmed its a faulty, they asked for the seriel number and said they would take it from there which I have provided, I have emailed them twice since ove the last two weeks.. no response I have a £400 weather station that doesn't work, no local company to speak to and am being ignored from Davis, does anyone have any suggestions?
