FIAT 131R 223 Report post Posted October 7, 2014 Tried buying some items from this outfit on Ebay. Wanted to buy 6 items. The calculation for the freight trumpeted the fact that I had saved plenty on freight. I paid over the money. A few days later they contacted me to say that the items, which are made of alloy, are very heavy and the freight cost would have to go up by only 250%. I sent a number of messages. The responses were pretty much one track and never addressed the issues I raised with them. I told them I had initiated a dispute with Paypal. Seems like this pissed them off and they immediately cancelled the transaction and issued a refund. Seems like that's how they maintain "their good" track record when someone dares challenge them about any issue. Mate of mine in the UK said they were useless. I should have listened.

M3_Power 636 Report post Posted October 7, 2014 I would say you dodged a bullet there. Had a friend that made a large order with them that turned custard ... Took ages to get sorted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted October 8, 2014 Were a good outfit many moons ago when they were a small(er) specialist outfit that was run by enthusiasts, now it's grown into a general automotive internet seller run by a bunch of monkeys!

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted October 8, 2014 Yeah have bought through them a few times .... most of mine where good experiences until recently. Have also stopped buying from them. Much rather just go to someone like Summit racing or racers wharehouse etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same experience here. Used to be great and could provide/arrange one-offs of some stuff. These days they seem to be a mailorder discount car bits kind of operation, staffed by drones rather than anyone with an interest in motoring or motorsport.
