Mark W Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Do you think he got pissed off at this forum and partially did it on purpose? Only if they looked into the future at this thread, then ripped off customers back then? Or some weird shit... I guess it'd just be easier to say they've always f**ked people about, not just since Fatmike e-mailled them the link... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Do you think he got pissed off at this forum and partially did it on purpose? It doesn't really matter; he's bound by contract to give me the goods I've paid for. Safe to say nobody in this thread has spoken out of turn or without provocation.

SQuiT-man Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) Its just I could imagine him clicking on the link, seeing the first post, and being a moronic, probably over-paid twat, doing something unproffessional to get back at you. Probably is just their normal service though. So to zanneslover and JIX, did u manage to sort out the old t-pro thing and other thing? Unlucky about tht Edited October 12, 2005 by SQuiT-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Well i just ended up with two sets of koxx grips and bloxx. So I spent £60 and waited three weeks, where I should of only spent £30 and waited 2 days. Needless to say never again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have to be pretty damn stupid to do that. Given that he runs TRIALS shop, alienating the people of TRIALS forum isn't a very clever idea.

PaRtZ Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Still no crank? thats quite gay. I don't know what else you can do. You can try the terms of contract thing. Sounds like he won't care though (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyoyo Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 (edited) If you both have a contract, which you should then you could sue (N) Because they are breaking a contract, it's tort i think from what i've done in law so far Edited October 13, 2005 by yoyoyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Because they are breaking a contract, it's tort i think from what i've done in law so far Eh? (Y) Either way, every retailler has a 'contract' with a customer, and therefore they are bound by it. But either way, get a refund, then get the f**k out of there. One day MA will learn that if they're twats, people won't buy from them. Probably the same day they file for bankruptcy (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that he runs TRIALS shop, alienating the people of TRIALS forum isn't a very clever idea. He's doing well to be turning over 1.6million if its just a trials shop I would have said. Eiather its all lies... or e actually runs some kinda distribution firm and happens to sell trials parts too. Hence him worrying more about his otehr areas of businesss which actually get him seriou $$$ perhaps. I just wouldn't order from them myslef.... though on that note people slated Winstanleys BMX biiiig styleeeee on nearly every forum. They have sorted me out twice with immense speed of delivery etc. so its possible companies can change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I think he gets alot of his turnover selling cheap bikes like saracens on E-bay. I bet if you searched his name in the sellers there would be loads of shit in there. Hes definatly not only selling trials stuff, look in the back of any mid 2003 MBUKs, look for the add with the picture of a munting woman in small clothes as the background and you've found his shop! It sold loads of jump bike and cheep DH stuff, kinda like a worse vertion of Dream Cycles. I bought a 2003 saracen x-cell frame off him through E-bay and it took alot of e-mails and 2 weeks to arrive, some bull about not recieving the order (how do u manage that with an e-bay auction surely you notice that its ended?????).

Josephine Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 2nd update in the first post, as you might have predicted by now, still no crank. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 TrialsShop is just an extension of the Marc Anthony (or is it Mark? Meh, don't care anyway...) shop, so it's not his sole income. He still sells XC/DH/FR products too, so we're still not his sole market. Still, being a twat to trials riders isn't gonna help that. Ah well, maybe we can sacrifice our purchases from his shop so everyone else has better service? How noble :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBProductions Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Its awful how shops mess you about I had a run in with bike dock recently , I hope you get it sorted. But be careful as I am sure theres a law about slating a shop publically that means you might be liable. Just thought I would let you know .

They didnt reply to my normal msn account so I logged on to the business one and funnily enough they replied but my experience with them is not good. It's not hard to make that little bit of extra effort to keep people happy. Lets hope they improve Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 (edited) Its awful how shops mess you about I had a run in with bike dock recently Bikedocks fun, they keep you on your toes and make your phone bill twice as much. But hey, why should they phone you when there's a problem, even when they say: If we are temporarily out of stock on any product, we will explain the reason, availability and approximate delivery date. We take pride in maintaining consistent stock levels I can't be arsed to type 'the bike dock stroy' out (but if anyone wants a read i saved it(word file)). But it was the biggest mess aroud since hitler came to power. I'd like to know how many people read this and just laugh on how they haven't stuck to it. However, when everything goes right with bikedock, and everthing's in stock, there's no problem. It's just when there's a little problem, they seem to not be able to handle it. Never used trials shop, the soddy site put me off a bit. And this therd has made it somewhat radioactive. Edited October 22, 2005 by JT!
