swampy -.-
Never wanted to do this but i have sent him more then 5+ PM's on here and still no reply's. I payed £3 for 2 ARB bolts around 3 weeks ago and still nothing.
I got one reply to where my bolts are and he said there have been so many bank holidays they will be with you soon. Now more weeks have gone by and still no delivery.
I have even offered to pay again, £3 is nothing but i just need these dam bolts i didnt want to post this up but this might get him to talk to me.
I think some more people have had a problem with him aswell.

He can be a bit slow at posting items out, but is genuine.
Am sure that when he see's this he'll get something sent out if it's not already gone. He's been about for years on these forums so is not a rip-off.

Fair enough he may not be a "scammer", but 3 weeks for some bolts is ridiculous?

Im not saying he has scammed me, He does seem genuine and im sure he is a busy lad but surely when he is on the forum he could at least reply to my PM's?

Who cares if he is "genuine", ordering from amazon is genuine, you still wouldnt accept 3 weeks as a delivery time.

i have bought from this guy in the past and pretty sure he has plenty of happy customers such as me. 3 weeks is a bit long to be honest but im positive you will get it

who says they are all on this forum?
Im also on 4 or 5 other french car forums, a couple of ford ones and ebay.
I dont mind paying to be a more proactive seller on the forum, but the £300 in one hit is a bit much, if they did as other forums did and had a lower monthly figure i would happily pay it.
