Default Flat 4 online

Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone on here has used Flat 4 online at all for any parts ordering? I have ordered a few bits and havent heard anything from them even after a week. I have paid, but on bank statemnet the transaction has come up as GLOWINGHOMES.co.uk??
Anyone??

Thanks Sean

Oh dear
Should of done a search here first that's what the scoobynet community is all about and I'm afraid it won't be good comments that's been posted for many years

Have a search for flat 4 online, alot of very unhappy customers! Iirc he's based at his house and orders the items after you've paid for them. Some people have waited months for parts to turn up, some people are still waiting!

I'm sure the police kicked his front door down and arrested him last year?

Not what you want to hear

I have alreadu spoken to bank because of the transaction id, they are sending me a form to claim money back............... Ill e-mail him and see what he says otherwise might just get bank to get money back. Paid by credit card so can get money back, as protected
How did I not find any links on here??????

I nearly got stunning by them. I placed an order with one of his other websites for a gauge surround and it took me nearly six months and the threat of legal action to get my money back. Good luck mate.

my advice to any scoobynet member buying online would be first check the companys reputation by other peoples feedback that system does work,plus always check that they have a live phone line that you can contact them direct if there site says contact by email only that alone should have you raising your eyebrows.

May be he stocks some of the lower cost items. After reading the numerous threads on here I'm staying clear.

ive used this place http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Advanced-Au...formance-Parts, they have a contact no. on the site so you can order direct to save a few pennies rather than going through ebay, very friendly and always quick delivery

I wasn't aware of this? I've used ICP a few times and they're brilliant in fairness and cheaper than a dealer.
