Konamad
Ed, don't know whether it could be worth a mod having a discreet word with Konamad? I've had a few deals from him, that have not been great too. I am 51 and dealing with farmers for a living, have the patience of Jobe, some on here will not have! Viz I bought a King Headset from him a few weeks ago, it arrived 21 days after paying him and incomplete without a Crown race. Many PM and Emails were ignored, eventually he responded and said he was "on the case" as he'd left it on a set of Pace forks he'd sold on! 14 days later still no race, so after several Emails/Pm's he responded suggesting I buy one from Bromley who had them at £8 (they were more!) So I bought one, I was sorted but over 5 weeks later and with the cost (£68 all in now, not cheap for a S/H scratched HS! when they're not a lot more new!) I don't feel the poor inept sod is worth the argument, so just won't trade with him anymore (other bits have taken 3 weeks plus to come). I would suggest that one of the FS rules should be a declared postal/arrival time (he is not alone!!! a certain mod is nearly as bad) Also a lot of member sellers are declaring first class post or even special delivary and then sending second to save money.
Sorry to witter on, but mainly deliveries are good, but a few (and its always the same few) are pretty useless. Interested in your comments? thanks Phil
