I'd like to say, when your trying to help people out "on the side", and there's an issue in your real life, it's very easy to fall behind and get a bad name.
I too had an order in with Tony, and there was a delay, however there was contact and a refund was quickly given, well done to Tony for that.
Patience and communication will get you what you want at the right price.
Hope all goes well for you Tony.

Another thing is you can`t tell a good rogue from a bad one only by trust, just look at eBay as that is the best example.....why do they have feedback?......and even then when a seller has so many negatives eBay still allow them to sell........so eBay is as bad as the rogues who swindle you!


just a quick note about ebay did you know if you leave to many negative feedbacks on ebay for any reason/reasons ebay can and will remove all the negative feedback you have left?

also just a matter of interest if anyone buys on ebay sign up for nector points i done so a few years ago and forgot about it.

i found out i had nearly £100 of points at zero extra cost to myself and all i done was to take the nector card to argos and hay ho £100 of goods for free.

Here's a thing with fleabay, a seller cannot leave negative feedback to a buyer, wtf ? So if a buyer messes you about its very one sided ! Things work both ways.

Yeah know what you mean, the thing is some people arnt as organized with these kind of things. Not knowing tony personally but like i said you can tell how some seem to be doing more than what they should be really. Bet he doesn't rest lol
When i send items out to people i even email them or txt them its on the way some don't even bother replying when they get it! So you sit there wondering if that tracking slip you've got needs binning or not in case you have to claim.
I can imagine having all the issues with family etc just making a post is way down on the things to do list.

You know it doesn't stop and buying of a forum either, for years ive ran guilds and raiding in the game WoW. Everyone is there cos they want to play the game and have fun. Nearly all i bet have far more tech than i ever have yet time and time again these kids and adults cant even be bothered to post a quick im late so you don't have 24 others waiting online for them.. that's a different example but just proves there's a lot like that.

Just be happy in the fact that your not going to get ripped and that Tony will get back to you when he has time

Replied to gav now and been texting him as well.

Would have replied earlier but was dragged out of bed at 10am to fit a power steering pipe and pressure sensor on a focus!!!

Keith, you're right in what you're saying, communication is the key and I did let that side of it slip.

As i said, I'm not out to scam anyone, if I was, there are better cars than an 11 year old volvo out there to do it with!

I knew you would gav tony is a straight up guy and yes that's rare today,ive been ripped off by a family member not just me but other hes ripped off other family members,hes sunk into a life of drugs and if he keeps ripping people off then i will pay him a visit and use violence to shock him into sense i don't want to as i hate it and am a peace loving guy so i know how it feels sometimes to be let down the people he is messing about with are dangerous guys i know them i wouldn't buy a teenth of skunk off them let alone what hes buying,maybe my visit is needed.it would take more than someone selling me some dodgy car parts to use that much violence.

I'd just like to wade in on this one, I have been "Up North" all weekend otherwise I would've said something before. Tony is a straight up bloke, obviously up to his neck in work and family stuff. Sorted me out with a set of speakers in short order.
