TheChai Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) I know you guys are probably tired of this by now. I have got a query though.A couple of months ago (November 2008) Neonbikes (China) sent over a batch of items to Trials-uk intend from me, As someone of you may know I was sponsored by both Trials-uk and Neon at that time. Well it would seem even sponsored riders do not get way from the terrible service. Up till now Dan has not sent me any of the items. I know he has not paid for them and neither have I, But I am currently still sponsored by Neon and still do need to get hold of these frames/forks/stems/bars + accessories. They are not willing to send me a separate batch (again) to cover what is really not their fault. Ideally i just want some kind of way to get hold of the items. Can I report this to trading standards and get my items? I am not too keen on going to his place and taking that much stuff, it would look like a burglary, not only that I would require a couple of hands, which is just annoying since this doesn't have to happen if he would just post the stuff out. Anyway does anyone know where I legally stand? Can I make a report of some sort? Any advice appreciatedThanksAndrew chai Edited March 25, 2009 by TheChai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 If it's stuff you were being given, you have no grounds to make a claim. You arent losing out on anything, just not getting some free stuff, pretty much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_malcolm Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I would imagine neon would have grounds to make a claim against them though seeing as it is there stock and dan ko doesnt own it. I would try and get them to get onto dan seeing as they are sponsering you, and he is effectivly getting in the way of your agrement with them.

You arent losing out on anything, just not getting some free stuff, pretty much.But surely that doesn't make it ok for Dan to keep hold of the items? at least send it back to Neon if he isn't going to send them to me? And does me being sponsored by neon not mean that i have the rights over the item? seeing as neon requested from them to be sent to me? Neon are also out of touch with Dan, i am hoping this topic would attract the required attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 If Neon have given you the items, then surely they're yours now? If Neon sent them to you through Dan, then you have something to claim for, seeing as they're not his to keep, Neon wouldn't want them back as they'd still have to send them to you.Contact trading standards and explain it to them, what's the worst that could happen? Atleast then they'd realise what his company's like, and could sort it all out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_malcolm Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 From talking to a few guys at work, it would appear that you could probably get trading standards involved. Because the items are by law yours, it doesnt matter weather you have paid for them or not the company has given them to you. They have sent them through there main importer dan ko and it is his responsibility to pass them onto you. Do you have a written agrement with Neon or is it just like a verbal agrement that they are sponsering you because it can become a bit of a grey area if it isnt written. So yeah your best bet is to get in touch with neon, because dan ko isnt making there company look as good as he should becasue his poor responce times and lack of care means people are going of his shop. If no one buys from his shop then bairly any one in this country will buy their frames.So yeah have a good long chat with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti-mig-guy Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I think you are going about it correctly. If the interest you need is not generated by these postings, then try posing a little hate o gram in the local paper where he is located. Most businesses would not want the negative attention.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 If thats the case, then you should contact Neon direct and see what they say about this situation.I imagine their response would be along the lines of 'Umm, we're in China... what do you expect us to do about it?'. I'd go with trading standards, the police or a personal visit if I were you Chai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChai Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Neon know about the situation, but as Rhino said I am probably their best hope for getting the items back. They have also stopped dealing with Dan. not having a car makes it very impractical to make a personal visit. I will give it a shot though.

Al_Fel Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I don't think violence is the best way to go.I've met Dan Ko briefly and he seemed like a fairly harmless kind of a guy. I know he's messed people around but I don't think its fair threatening to hurt him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
