Default Any Flat pack suppliers (Talon Alternative)

As the title suggests are there any suppliers of Flatpacks?
I ordered from Phil At Talon over 5 weeks ago but after 2 missed promised deliverys and no contact from him in well over a week I can only assume he's not able to supply. I'm not aware of any other suppliers of Flatpacks but I'm hoping someone knows of some, if not I'm will have to cut my own which is not ideal due to noise and the close prosimity of my neighbours.

I don't think there is not since handyandy left the scene maybe start looking for a bandsaw to limit the noise

I really thought handyandy's absence would have been temporary and he would pop in from time to time but it seems that it is permanent

I only live a mile from him and used to deliver shopping to his wife but have not seen hide nor hair of him since his departure

I hope he does as my first option would be just to get the flat pack and I like to think I'm an understanding fella but just need to know what's going on.

I'm ready to go, table built, donor stripped, and just pottering reconditioning parts while I wait but really want to get the chassis started.

Just noticed that. He sent me a tracking number for the chassis so it looks like he has send it out.

Now let’s just all hope he gets himself all sorted mainly as no one should have to put up with what he has but also, as this thread has proven, the service he provides is invaluable to so many.
