Ah, the "surcharge" card has been played, classic.

So the DHL Offer which made the shipping so cheap which he told you was BS then, otherwise he would know the price already.

Package it, measure it, weight it, get a quote, it aint rocket science and you dont have to wait for surcharges when shipping to the us/canada. All of the major couriers/shippers quote you online.

Claim, and claim fast!

All hope of getting anything is now gone, just want the money back so I can give it to someone reputable, like mr hamster.

I know where they are, theyre sat in front of him.

I'd like an explanation of what the surcharges are for and how much if I was you. I've dealt with UPS for 5 years shipping worldwide. They wont collect a parcel without all the relevant customs forms etc and unless you lie out of your **** on the size/weight when quoting it, you never get items "returned to sender". I reckon he's found out the shipping cost and had a hard-on, and now its up to you to get the £ back.

Darren has refunded me in full.
Thank you Darren.

I would advise pickup only. He does have desirable parts at great prices, but to avoid any issues or delays I would only pick up in person.

Think you should change your name from hamster to Danger Mouse

And your signature should say "Fighting Internet Injustice"

Aye right.

Still allowed to trade on here tho arent they, under the name Darren@JDM.

Plenty of listings with unhappy people but nothing is ever done about it.

I even got a PM off a member telling me how he'd been ripped off and didnt know what to do so I asked him to highlight his experience with them on this thread to warn others and he refused, wtf!

I seriously dont get the attitude with some people on here, they rant and post about getting ripped off but wont name and shame so it can happen to other people.

As far as I can see, recently its been scammers heaven on here and it HAS to stop. Rant over.

I recently bought some parts from Darren and although I had to wait for them a bit longer than I expected I am still happy.
Very cheap parts and good communication, I would definitely buy from him again.

some people have been caught out several times by the multiple user names, ebay, pistonheads etc. Chances are you'll get excuses about postage, this is the common delay for them not sending stuff, then it might arrive, it might not.

What a load of **** is talked on this site at times its totally unreal.No one has been ripped off slashekill you are waiting on a pallet going to sweden of all places it takes longer than a week i have already emailed you and spoken to you on the phone.Does my feedback look full of non recieved negatives ? I guess i must of managed to delete them so no one can see them and i can keep ripping people off.All this on a website i have been a member on for 9 years.Hamster you are just a key board warrior who should keep his nose out .The amount of PM`s i have had about you will be far more than you have had about me.If i have ripped someone off why would they not phone the police i have been a registered busness 13 years,come and see me,do a credit card charge back or any kind of dispute.Its total rubbish your just making crap up.Fair enough i do get delays here and there but it has to be expected things dont always run smooth selling used parts and sending them with couriers especially such large and heavy items
