Greetings Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) My mate in London has already been waiting 2 weeks for my stem to arrive (and subsequently to forward it to me). Can't get in touch with the seller, has anybody on this forum received items from Ben bought in THIS thread?A bit worried...

Shaun H Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I've bought a wheel off him a couple of weeks ago and PMd him yesterday.He says he sent my wheel off 2 weeks ago but I haven't got it. He thinks the post is playing up but I'm not sure what to think.Said another person has been waiting 2 weeks for a frame, is that you?Does he have any refs?

Robwalker Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Yeah i brought some forks, i had to push a bit to get them posted, finally got them though, about 3 days late. Cant complain although. Did find it extremely hard to keep in contact with him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Well, his refs seem fairly good but not perfect.I bought a stem off him and paid instantly through PayPal. PM'd him this Friday but he didn't reply, can't catch him on MSN either Want my money back, got a cheap Thomson stem waiting.He said he's going to send it by 2nd class, they do recorded delivery for that service as well I guess?

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 No they dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Think you're wrong sexy boy God your post is awful... at least you have a guaranteed next day delivery service, we don't have something like that. Way too sophisticated Just found this:If you have important documents to send and want to check on delivery, Recorded Signed For™ fits the bill. The service provides proof of posting, signature on arrival and online confirmation of delivery. It's great value too, at just 68p plus First or Second Class postage.That's cool, we agreed he'd sent it 2nd class so he should still have sent it recorded. This is in case he says he's sent it but the post lost it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 He seems to be well known on the forum... and seems to be a tad dodgy. But who's to say that I'm not.. or you even......he's every day dodgy... which is fine in my books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard jersey Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I know Ben and he definitely wouldn't be the person not to send anything when he said he would. I'm sure you'll recieve what you bought very soon. Don't worry! It might take a bit of time because it's all coming from Jersey in the Channel Islands.Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't seem to be on MSN either or has just blocked me.I don't think there's any point in waiting, he seems to visit this forum every day so it's not that he can't access the internet or something.
