    Ordered a used bit more than two weeks ago for my GN250, from an
    outfit oop North, that responded to a Partfinder query. Supposed to
    have been shipped immediately, but by the time we went off skiing (12
    Feb) it hadn't arrived.

    And when we got back last night, it wasn't on the mat either. Nor was
    there a "We tried to deliver" note from any carrier.

    So I called them this morning. "Oh, we've been so busy, we haven't
    taken it off the bike yet...."

    Bleedin' Nora. Supposedly I'll have it tomorrow.

    Blacks Bike Shop, somewhere in Lancashire. Anyone know the outfit?

    Yes, sent the wrong type of handlebar switchgear for the GT, it was and
    early type without the clutch cut-out switch.

    Swapped it no bother and were very helpful but not exactly quick.

    Everyone up north knows them, and mostly not for good reasons...

  11. Thanks all.

    Oh well, we'll see. If it doesn't arrive or turns out to be a load of
    crap, I'll politely ask for a CC refund.

    If they haver *one little bit* I'll tell them that I'm querying the
    payment with the CC company. The amount involved is below the £100
    Consumer Credit Act amount for joint and several liability *but* when a
    payment is contested, the CC companies back-debit the seller £35-odd for
    'administration costs'.

    I've discovered in the past that pointing this out to dodgy sellers
    often results in surprisingly sudden co-operation.

    I ordered a SV fairing main stay from them after I threw my last SV
    under a car, it was described as straight and undamaged. I saw some
    pink writing on the ebay photo but couldn't read it and thought it
    would be where they'd marked it as being from an SV.

    The bracket arrives, and thats when I discovered that the pink writing
    said..."BENT".

    Naturally it was returned and I bought one from elsewhere. I have heard
    similar stories so wouldn't bother using them again.

  17. No sign of it still. Rang them this afternoon. Long period on hold,
    after I'd told them I wanted a refund on the CC.

    "We can either send it today or we can do the refund."

    "So you still haven't actually sent it? I'll have the refund."

    Allegedly this should be on my statement in three working days. I bet it
    isn't.

    What a bunch of arseholes.

  19. Just call the CC company and have them do a chargeback. That way you
    know you'll get your money and they'll send frown and administration
    charges to the...
    If only you'd have done some research up front eh?

  20. Troo.

    Trouble is, I've used Pathfinder before and they're usually great.

    So when someone rings up in answer to a (paid-for) Partfinder search, I
    tend to trust them.
