I don't know the background to this. Can I assume these are companies to be avoided?

A name there which I suspect could end up with Copyright/Trademark/Tradename Infringement? I wonder if Walbro know they are associated with such companies

I am staggered that people who cheat many are still left to work?

I mean, they must cross the wrong people sometimes and risk being knee-capped?

Cannot comment as I have never used these .... but if I was robbed I wouldn't rest until I had either my money back or whoever wronged me was ... well, hurting ....

He wont be in! People have paid him a visit before and got no answer. Rumour has it he works from his bedroom! Dont think he carries any stock, the reason why it takes that long to deliver is that he will order stuff from japan when people place there order and get it shipped straight to your door. It will turn up with japanese stamps on! I remember hearing of a guy waiting 5 months for his 2.5 block hope this is not the case for you fella!

Hope your clutch turns up but nice to read your willing to visit if it doesnt,thats what it needs i think,an item not to arrive and for some1 to actual meet him face to face,take a pic of him (before any,ahem,amendments) so we all know what he looks like for future reference

good luck

Just been stung by Turbomatrix, ordered a clutch tool on the first of this month and nothing. Only £30 but its still my money, how the hell do these people get away with it?

Paypal dispute has been raised hopefully get my money back. Can trading standards not pull these sites down?

I dont think that he cheats people. If you search youll find scores of 'late delivery' and 'cant contact' threads, but no 'he stole my money' threads, that Im aware of.

His problem seems to be that he is a one man band and that he doesnt have a great deal of what he sells in stock; so people have unexpectedly long lead times. His prices are very low though...
