basher Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Just before christmas i payed grant for a set of heatsink adaptors and payed extra to have them sent special delivery. I still havnt recieved them, a week ago on msn i ask him can he give get a tracking number or something like that from the reciept. But he said he couldnt find it. He then stopped comeing on msn and hes been put back into pre members, through another person on msn i got them to talk to him on msn and he says msn has bollockst up and shows me as offline and would refund me. Well ive try emailing him now as away of contact but no reply. Benleacock probs not spelt like that also bought a full rear vee with heatsink adaptors from him just after christmas and that hasnt turned up either and seems grants no longer comeing on msn with him to. Does anyone no him and can they somehow help me, me being someone whos payed the money its starting to sound like things are a little dodgy as the other lad hasnt recieved his, this may not be the case though. If he found the reciept then something could be done like contacting royal mail and if need be claiming compensation. I just want this sorted now. So is anyone able to help me like a mate of his or something. Edited January 9, 2008 by basher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 IF Grant was "willy wonka" before he was banned, then i dare say he has ripped you off, he told me he would send £15 for a front magura, week later he says he sent it in the post box and it hadnt arrived so i was ripping him off.......

BenLeacock™ Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Im having a simular problem. I payed grant for a full vee set up, including heatsink adaptors. He has sent me a tracking number, I key'd it into royal mail it never came up with anything, just said it will be updated once the parcel is signed for. My mum works very closly to royal mail phoned them etc got some more information. I then tried phoning him, he picked up once then wouldn't awnser. I made a new msn address cause he has blocked me, (his excuse was that his msn is f**ked) I added him to the new msn said whats going on then he went ofline, i added him on my brothers and he stayed on. If this parcel isn't here by friday then im not going to be a happy bunny and might make a train journey down Edited January 12, 2008 by BenLeacock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I'll have a word on msn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoNnY__Mc Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Right, I feel I should say something as I have dealt with this lad about 5 times, using both the forum and msn! I've met him on rides in birmingham and leicester to swap and also through the post, and I wouldn't think for one minute he is a scammer. If your stuff was sent at around christmas I would imagine it's got lost in the post along the way somewhere. I ordered stuff off tart just before christmas and it hasn't turned up! Doesn't mean tartybikes are scammers does it As a favour I gave Grant a king headset, and as he took so long to pay for it we agreed he would send some vee brake parts instead, these got lost in the post, luckily they were insured and so I got the insurance money and used it to buy my current brake set up!I wouldn't start thinking the worse, as he really isn't like that! Just try to be patient and I hope your parts come . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Im not acusing him, but obviously like everyone does they do think of the worse when its something like this and involves money. It was sent special delivery so obviously i new it wouldnt be next day with it being christmas but i would of expected it to arrive by now and when he was on msn i pestered him to find the reciept and thats what im wanting him to do now so if it is lost then it can be took up with royal mail.
