Ordered a a pile of stuff early in the year and still has not arrived assured me he sent it over 2 months ago still no sign of the stuff. To make matters worse sent me an email asking how the stuff was only the other day. Curly

What did he say

That your helmet was still at the painters. Apparently the bloke that does them is in high demand.

Is there anyone else having problems with this "Back In The Day" living legend in the states.
He doesn't seem to follow his own time frame.

Hi All
He is a little shifty. Order and paid for a rear spring and bits in August last year, had no reply by October. Followed up in November and he indicated that he sent it. Promised to re-send AT HIS COST and have it tracked at his expense. Received at the end of February and post dated 7th Feb 2011.

Happy with the parts but not so happy with service. Would only order if really had too.

Thanks Peter,
                  I have ordered and paid for a complete motor and assorted parts that were meant to leave the U.S at the end of April so I
had them in time for CD8. Since then he has given me the run around on delivery times. 3 dates promised, 3 dates passed!!
Pissed Off!!

Fire his details in the Name And Shame File ! No need for those sorts of shenanigans these days when so many US-based suppliers are prompt and courteous, and happy to deal with us. Wanker.  ::)

Sent another email looking for my parts.
Recieve what must be his standard reply.
Parts sent, let him know what you ordered and will resend at his expense and ask me to ring him.
As I was away for a couple of days couldn't get back to him straight away and recieved another angry email because I haven't contacted him and blames me for not paying for tracking of items( but as we here in OZ know all USPS priority airmail is tracked).
Have since rung 4 times leaving messages on his machine( yes ringing during his business hrs) and several emails and no response.
Pissed off no end as I ordered early in the year so i could have them for CD8 but no joy.
If he had been honest and told me he hadn't done or sent them yet I would have been fine with it, but to say he sent them but must be lost because of not paying for tracking bullshit !
I'm now just resigned that I've done my $500.

Stay on his case Curly, only the squeeky wheel gets oiled.

I agree Curly, the squeeky wheel gets the oil mnate.  Keep on him and pester him until he sends you the stuff to get you off his back.

Cheers
Craig

PS. Were you the Curly at CD8 with Piney and Homer??  If so I was your neighbour in the Green Landcruiser that towed your trailer out.

Craig yes I'm that curly and thanks again for towing the trailer out. Didn't mention you were clearing out your fleet at CD8 might have been interested in a couple of different thumpers. Keep in touch. Curly

I have dealt with BITD in the past, pretty much the same, parts take time but do turn up eventually. I think he is basically honest bloke, just business is a bit chaotic.
