sayshell Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Ok so here is the situation. I order 2 viz rims (red) and he tells me he only has blue and green. So I notify him telling him to cancel the order and refund me. After 3 days he just sends the package and does not refund me. I only bought them because of false advertising, and now he won't let me return them. What kind of bs is this? This is also the second time he has done this to me. On this one its more fair because in one email i said screw it just send it, but I sent 3 saying to cancell it and clearly stated my final decision is to cancel the order. Theoretically he could have just read the one that said send it and missed the other 3 because they were sent at slightly different times. Is the guy a theif? Now I have decided just to take the order because I would rather end up with 2 rims and -200 dollars, as opposed to just -200 dollars. Also 3 days before the order I asked him if he had red and he didn't respond, but immediately after i purchased them he responded instantly to my email. He seems to be able to reply at very convenient times. This one isn't a perfect case because he could have just had bad luck.This one he has no way around..The first time I bought 2 forks from him and he only had one, so he billed me for 2 and sent one. He also said he can't refund me and all he could do is give me credit on my next order. Great system funny how he conveniently ends up with all my money this way.

16 years later Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Anyone think it's time for a "do not buy from trials-uk" sticky in trials chat?But its people’s choice if they buy from him. It should just inform every one about what happens whit Dan, so they can make there one minds up (which will be of course not to buy from him)It should be an unbiased topic.I think I’ve confused myself.

TrialsGilly Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Anyone on here seems to be all against T-Uk , I just want to show that there is another side to the arguement.I have orderd from dan many times, and never had any problems with his service. His price's in many cases are cheapest on the market , and his postage rates also are very fair. Admitdly i have never had to return anything!I accept that in your case he is in the wrong , and you have every right to demand your money back , although t-uk is not all bad!!!xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Dan Ko mucked me around when I wanted to buy a Viz rim. I sent the cheque but he didn't have them in stock and it took a few months to get the cheque back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I accidentally ordered the wrong pads and didn't realise until I got them, straight away emailed him and within an hour he had emailed me back to say it was no problem to return them. I never bothered in the end cos i needed pads pretty desperately. I've never had a problem with Dan/T-UK but from all the topics and replys on here I'm starting to wonder whether or not to buy from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Gardner Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 The stupid thing is that people WILL still buy off of him, and then when he f**ks up, another topic's made. Sort it out lads, just don't order from this bellend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) i remember hearing from aguy who ordered a set of cranks, he got the drive side of the right crank, but another driveside of another cheaper crank, and wasnt able to get a refund or anything to be honest, i think your just plain stupid to by from him after this topic, if you do then youve been warned so its your fault i guess hahatartybikes ***!if this really is a forum to help trials riders THEN THIS SHOULD BE MADE A STICKY!
