Bit of an update.

The Skyway was posted by the seller on the 20th March but was then on hold at the post office until 5th April. At least I now know it's on it's way.

The Hutch was also sent out on the 8th April so I should get a nice few parcels arriving soon.

Thanks

How longs it been?

highrisedrifter · « **Reply #31 on:** April 17, 2007, 06:50 PM »

Only six weeks so far. Will be seven minimum though as he has said it won't get to me this week as it won't come to him from the chromers until Friday at the earliest.

Thats what he told me 2 weeks ago.

highrisedrifter · « **Reply #33 on:** April 17, 2007, 07:14 PM »

oh dear, mate...

He initially told me that the F&F had to go ack for rechroming as some of the chrome started to flake around the dropouts. That was two weeks ago.

I asked him for the name of the chromers but he hasn't replied to me yet.

I think he uses someone called magic chromers? could be wrong. we should start a new thread slaging vertego,he always replies to them

His other orders have always been promptly delivered to me. I have no complaints about him. If he has the items in stock, he's pretty good at delivering them quickly. If the chromers he uses are at fault then it could have affected both of us I guess. He has a good rep within the hobby and I'm sure he'll pull through as he said he would.

I have told him that I expect a reply from him on Friday whether or not the f&f are delivered to him from the chromers. All I can do is wait for that really.

Thanks for the help though, mate.

UNCANNY.
I've just recieved an item i'd basically written off,
due to it being won on tebay from ,Seller name 'Quadra angle looptail'. This guy has got a terribble reputation apparently in the U.S.
Anyway won item January 16th 2007
He actually posted item February 14th
Arrived just now March 31st
Thats 75 days after I won the auction ,DISGUSTING
He'd sent it SURFACE post $8, although he'd charged me over $20

Feck I won a Hutch Seatclamp off this Guy, I wonder if I will ever see it, I asked for it to be sent Airmail.

I Emailed him again tonight & said if I don't get it by 25th of this month Im contacting Ebay/Paypal, he replied saying it will be with me at the end of the week, lets see

Well just a quick update, the bike and the frame and forks is now in the country and the tax man has had a fair wedge and the post office took their slice as well.

Pics on Monday when they get delivered.

I still haven't got my Pro Performer f&f from the Colonies yet. It was only shipped two weeks ago so it is a bit early to start worrying but damn, I WANT IT!

this angers me every time I hear about this "tax" and all the others.. It seems they just take whatever they want whenever they want. There seems to be no regulation. That's what pisses me off about the UK. Everyone is out to make as much profit out of Joe Public as often as they can. anal parking violations, speeding 1mph over the limit, bank charges, fines for this, penalties for that. Its a disgrace

yep too true on that , it a wonder we don`t get charged on air

Zippy · « **Reply #43 on:** April 25, 2007, 09:48 AM »

I got the two parcels to be labelled at $100 each.

On one they charged me £50 in Taxes and on the other They charged me £22.

How did they work that out.

highrisedrifter · « **Reply #44 on:** April 25, 2007, 03:46 PM »

Well, the Â£31 tax was for these. I wonder what they could be...

Got the Blue Tuffs for my Master build now. Plus another set in a different colour for my Streetbeat.

I am addicted to Tuff wheels...

I've just been stung for another £27.64 for what I can only assume will be my Pro Performer f&f,

I'm sure there must be something this bloody country doesn't tax you on...

ORANGEZIPPY · « **Reply #46 on:** May 04, 2007, 07:59 PM »

one of my bikes turned up yesterday yay

was posted in january, so its been on a bit of a trip,

They tried to deliver to me twice on feb, (why didnt they leave a card ?)

anyway it then went to amsterdam, sat in a warehouse there for a couple of months and then yesterday they delivered it to me,

to say i was delighted was a bit of an understatement,

so might even have the redline done for MK.

SaMAlex · « **Reply #47 on:** May 04, 2007, 08:03 PM »

Im waiting for a package from the US that was sent a few months ago. Im pleased yours has come, and its given me new hope.

Fingers crossed!

Dingobmxer · « **Reply #48 on:** May 04, 2007, 11:15 PM »

My Neal Wood F&F arrived yesterday, it took 12 days and I got charged about £22 even though it was marked as $100 value !?!?!?!?!?!?!?

DINGO
