Funky Monkey Boat Names - great service

[jimmy_the_builder]

I've got no connection to this company - but I've had some great service off them over the past couple of days. In short, late on Monday afternoon I sent an email to them asking for some graphics to be made up for the new boat. I specified the font, font weight, size of lettering, the words I wanted, and the spacing. I asked if there was any chance I could get everything delivered by Thursday because we are taking possession of the boat on Friday.

A few mins later the phone rang, it was Mark from Funky Monkey - all ok, he took the card details, promised that everything would be in the post special delivery on Tuesday, to be delivered here Wednesday - today.

Sure enough this morning at 8am the postman turned up with the package. However ... owing to a miscomm between me and Mark, one of the graphics was in the wrong colour vinyl. So I sent another quick email to Mark with the problem - and as well as supplying the correctly-coloured graphics, he even went to the trouble of delivering the replacements to Fairline Southampton this morning, ready for me to apply to the boat, which I did this evening.

Pretty impressive stuff. Things go wrong with suppliers all the time, it's a fact of life. It's how they respond to these little hiccups that marks out the good guys.

So: I recommend Funky Monkey boat names - they know how to look after their customers.

Cheers
Jimmy

I can second that - I had great service from Mark earlier this year when I wanted a custom font for my boat name and everything arrived exactly as I had specified and at a great price too.

and just so I can stay well clear, what is the name Jimmy?
Are you afloat this w/e? Might wave you off, like the cruise ships.

I will third that Jimmy - brilliant service, Mark could not be more helpful - he even made me some small names out of super sticky stuff for putting on the dingy, lifebelts etc and they work really well.

New boat is 'Vega'. Should be going back in the water this morning, ready for us to take ownership tomorrow.

Cheers

Thirded - same excellent personal service received and should be rightfully comended as it's bloody rare!

 

[admillington]

So what have you purchased - know it won't be a flybridge but which Targa?

 

[jimmy_the_builder]

It's a Targa 40 - the boat we set out to buy at the beginning of last year before being distracted by the Princess 42.

Cheers
Jimmy

 

[Wiggo]

I'll third it! We've used the same company and the service is second to none.

 

[admillington]

We had two Targa 40s and I am sure you will be very pleased with her.

Have you got the one with KAD300s or D6s?

[jimmy_the_builder]

D6-350's. Ding dong! I know I won't be able to keep up with all these scallywags in their Khamsin 34's, but I am going to have a blimmin good try...

Cheers

Yip agreed, Funky Monkey are the business. We also used them for our commercial vehicles.

Recommended to me by Hurricane and I am very happy to pass on the recommendation.

 

[Illusion]

Hey,

Congratulations to you both.
I'm sure you'll be very pleased with her - nice boat!

 

[Hurricane]

Yep - I've used them several times - always a great service.

 

[pks1702]

I also had great service from them

Congratulation's on the new Targa...I am sure you will enjoy! We should be taking delivery of our new P42 in a week...can't wait. Let's hope for a great summer

Cheers, Tom

Seventhded. I also ordered a sticker from them in the wrong colour. Not only did I receive the new one in the right colour the following morning, they also refused to charge me for it, even though, in my case, it was completely my fault.

 

[benjenbav]

Yup, I have been really pleased with Funky Monkey too.

Jimmy - it's a bit much to casually announce that you are about to take ownership of a gorgeous vessel like a T40 and not put up some pics. Kindly rectify the situation at the first opportunity. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Agreed - get the finger out. Pics are mandatory or be reported to mods /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[jimmy_the_builder]

Huge apologies. Here at JTB towers the excitement has been steadily building all week; really looking forward to it all now. I think I've done everything except sort out the ships radio licence, oh, and find a berth /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif. Roll on tomorrow! (I will have pics soon, I promise!). Assuming the money shows up with Essex Boatyards in time I think we're planning to have a few drinks in Velshedas at Swanwick marina tomorrow night, all welcome.

Cheers
Jimmy
