Swampy

[eddy_vts]

I ordered a set of brake lines off him about a month ago and still not turned up.
I have emailed him and PMd him and still had no reply. He hurrys for you to send him £300 but as soon as he has your money thats it! hes gone! 2nd time this has happened now!!! Last set i got off him took over 2 month to turn up.

[eddy_vts]

Yes £300 on brake lines. Full kit runs from master cylinder through the car to rear calipers and master cylinder to front calipers

Moved to suspected scammer info forum area.

Eddy - I'm sorry you've had this experience. It's exactly WHY we have affiliate members (of which Swampy is obviously NOT!) so that you can be sure you're buying a quality product, from a reputable supplier, rather than a "fly by night" or cowboy, with no after sales support and no consideration for customer service. This is yet another example of Richards (swampys) failures. He's done it time and time again, across several forums.

I would urge anyone considering buying from him to research the internet before buying - ESPECIALLY if you're considering buying a complete kit. There are FAR better traders out there that get it right the first time, and actually give a shit about customer service (KAM Racing, Speedflow, Torques etc).

Swampy's trading days on this forum are well and truly over - I urge anyone who spots him touting for business on these forums to contact a moderator and let us know by using the "report" button next to a post, PM, or visitor message - http://www.saxperience.com/forum/images/buttons/report.gif

He was posting on the forum yesterday so he's not disappeared completely.
But does sound a familiar scenario :/

Eddy it helps if you provide a delivery address and respond to msgs on the forum you orderd the items from!!!

I know we have dealt many times in the past but I am not a mind reader and do not keep a record of past delivery addresses!!!

Your lines have being sat on my kitchen work top all packed up for two weeks awaiting a reply from you!!!

[Ross]

Irrespective of the excuse swampy rolls out for this situation, I've now permanently banned him from these forums for many reasons, not least is the constant negative feedback he receives, and the trolling of our community looking to exploint every thread for his own gain.

If you are after brake lines or kits, please see our trusted affiliates, like KAM Racing, or contact "Exact" (swampy's supplier) directly.

Thanks.

OP - I've PM'd you.

Why not reply via email or on this forum? If you know it's the same user? Seems a weak excuse for not posting items

Bye swampy

[monka]

thank fuck for that, now just to get him off moaners and everyone will be happy

Does this mean no more "made to measure" brake line kits will need cutting to length?

We can only hope.

He'll still ply his wares on 106 owners and 306 owners etc I suspect, but if those guys have any sense they'll get rid too.

All i wanted was a reply to my messages, I did not ask for swampy to be banned also didnt put him n as a scammer.
Yes i have dealt with swampy many of times and always had good quality products. Sorry if i did not supply a postal address at the time and i have tried contacting you many of times, also my address is on my paypal.

I do not wish for swampy to be banned from the site either. Would just like my order sorting and posted out.

Thanks

That's fine.

The moderating team have discussed it, and based on his past performance (not this individual issue), his constant trolling for business, his ignorance of the rules, and general attitude, we've collectively decided to remove him from the forum.

If you still with to trade with him (more fool you) be my guest. But I hope to stop others suffering from a negative experience on these forums.

As Ross said it was based on past problems.

I have personally had a bad experience as a buyer,
when I purchased brake lines that never turned up.

PM's were ignored, had to claim via paypal.
Which got dragged out as much as he could.
Only got a part refund, think I'm still owed about £10.

So I am fully behind the decision to ban :ban:
