I was told when I ordered the rims that I would have them by the end of January. If I paid an extra $600 I could of had them sooner. I was prepared to wait and I would wait longer if Gordon actually replied to emails and kept me informed. I am sorry but perhaps I am not very virtuous.

I totally agree with you on this one, regardless of whether Gordon is a great guy or not (i'm sure he is) , he is running a business at the end of the day and this is not an acceptable way for a business to behave.

I feel for you guys and understand your frustration im sure it will work out in the long run[wink11]
I know your frustration all to well having had a similar experience with a completely different person on here .
This does leave a sour taste in your mouth[bighmmm]
All you can do is persist as you are and not name and shame even if your frustrated keep that to pm`s and email`s txt or calls not public [wink11]
Im sure Andy is trying very hard to help but at the end of the day it comes down to one person that can only help you out[thumbsupbig]
Good luck[biggrin]

I accept reasonable delays etc but he never replies to emails and when I finally got hold of him over a week ago I was told my wheels had been sent from Perth and he was gong get back to me with a tracking number so I could contact TNT and find out where they are. I have been emailing him again this week and no response. I start leave at the end of next week and I want to have the wheels and new tyres fitted. I will ring him tomorrow and if he doesn't answer I will be taking steps to get a refund and put some decent rubber on my 20" rims.

Any luck with the wheels Carl?

Go to (or threaten to go to) Fair Trading guys. That is the only way I got my issue resolved. :mad:
(I predict that this thread, like all of the previous ones on this issue, will be shut down and disappear very soon. Unfortunately this just removes any evidence of potential risks for future purchasers and people will continue to get caught like I was....)

Firstly, I have nothing to do with Gordon, nor have I ever meet the man. FFS, his mother has recently passed and although his followup responses (or lack of them) in regard to his business dealings has/is not ideal, he is not about to scarper off to Rio.

IMHO, throwing fuel on the fire with threats does not really help the situation and as far as this thread disappearing, it like every other thread on the forum needs to stay within the rules and guidelines. If it doesn't, it will be acted on accordingly.

I take your point entirely. I think the only thing the guys are asking for is some communication. They have made an internet purchase of several thousand $$$ and could probably be excused if they were feeling a bit jumpy about ever seeing their purchase or $$$ back.

Hell, all it would take if he didn't want to write several emails, would be a two line post on here to say "...I've got a bit on my plate at the moment guys, give me a bit of room and I'll sort it out in a couple of weeks"......

I believe Andrew (LandyAndy) did comment with words to that effect in a previous post but I can understand the point those directly involved are voicing.

Chris you are assuming Gordon has even been on here , which a quick check of his profile shows he has not.

Like Paul, I have no connection with Gordon except us both being members here. If people stay within the rules, particularly the name and shame rules. I don't see any reason why this thread is likely to need the moderators attention.

I sympathise with those that currently have a problem, but i'm not sure the way this thread is starting to go is actually going to help anyone.

To be honest there are a couple more that out of respect are not saying anything and using the benifit of doubt .
But at the end of the day one will out weigh the other and sometimes not necessary helpful .
I hope this does not turn into a all time low and all concerned can show respect to each other including the gallery.

if anyone had sent him an email they would get an autoresponse that gave a date he would be back on deck, i would assume, as i noticed the system is getting responses back when the system sends a notifaction email.

i looked thru the logs yesterday and it popped up.

whilst we try to treat vendors as well as we can, being one, simply doesn't ensure you play under different rules, as i am sure tombie and drivesafe amongst others, will be only to willing to attest.

last but not least, non affected people whipping up feelings won't help anyone and is likely to draw attention from the mods.
