Thumbs down After sales no contact when there's a problem !!howes124!!

I purchased a set of alloys from a member who seemed genuine always replied to my texts etc. the alloys were supposed to be Mint hence why I purchased but once in opened it was clear these were not as described.

As soon an I opened I took pics and sent to seller who agreed there's a problem and would sort something? Well times going fast no reply to pm s on here even tho he's been online. And doesn't respond to calls texts etc.

Just had to post something as getting annoyed now at being ignored.

Could the seller sort something please I've been more than fair with the waiting times.

Rant over



For now

Name the dude, normally gets them to respond. if he is genuine member than they will understand their name mentioned and by all means they could well be genuine and this is not a scam thread (cash sent goods not arrived after weeks)

If it's who I think it is, I believe he is a truck driver and spends a lot of working time in Europe.

No excuse, but, a genuine reason why he's not returning calls.

Hope you get sorted.

And? I've got PM's sitting there that I haven't replied to.

Means nothing in the grand scheme, but, I know where you're coming from.

This guy is a ******* idiot, wrapped up in his own self importance of creating the biggest collective of clueless Subaru owners ever to assemble....

That is all...

This chap?

https://www.scoobynet.com/full-cars-...-ver3-sti.html

Always seemed pretty genuine to me, is he the owner of scoobyswapshop?.
It might be a good idea to post on his current for sale threads to prevent others going through the same. Although I'm amazed when people say "where's my **** that I paid for 3 weeks ago" and then other users underneath say "I'd like to buy x from you".
