Hi people,
Would appreciate views on the following
Just before Xmas I bought our current blue/silver bodyshell from a guy. He had a stall at the Juniors last year where I bought a couple of shells. He is also active on Racechat. Round about 3rd March I ordered 4 shells from him for £140, same design, 2 Mazdas and 2 Alfas. Quote was 2 weeks delivery, probably less. Now at the time there was a shortage of Mazda Speed 6 shells, fine.
On 3rd April he pm’ed me on Racechat to say the shells would be dispatched early the following week. This was just after, or maybe crossed, an email from me querying position and asking him to ship the 2 Alfa shells (which had been in stock) and that I would pay the additional postage.
On 16th April I pm’ed him on racechat, quite softly but making the point that I needed the Alfa shells for an imminent meeting at Cotswolds – no response.
A week later I emailed him with a bit more of a stronger message but not threatening any action – no response.
I am now going to start the Paypal process in the next 24-48 hours. Much to my chagrin because I really wanted those shells, but….
Should I name and shame on Racechat too?
