Postmans just been and gave me a box with a shiny motor, absolute bargain.

My son has received 10x crappy plastic glasses cleaning things. Why the feck do they send these out instead? If they got the price wrong then just admit it and not accept the order.

Did you pay £3.49 or the proper price?

I paid the £3.49. I was getting worried, even held off on buying the rest of the parts i needed.

You did well! They've obviously cottoned on to their mistake. I see they have an eBay shop with stuff for sale for 99p. I wonder if they value their feedback? ?

Haha set of cuntz! I got a glasses cleaner through the post today.

How many motors did you order? I bet they're scratching their heads as to why so many people are ordering them ?

Just one to see if it was true lol

That's scuppered that business plan.

That would've been a nice little business. What I can't understand is why the feck are they accepting orders and blatantly sending the wrong item out to the purchaser? Surely they would identify that they've marked the price up wrongly and refund instead! By sending these stupid plastic spectacle cleaners out they are sticking two fingers up and taking the pee.

Seems like it's just pot luck. People who ordered just before you got wipers.

I regret posting the link tbh, but I waited till I'd got mine to confirm that it was genuine.

I'm glad at least someone else got 1! (Still hope for you yet @LAMS ?)

If they've made a mistake then fair enough I don't expect to hold them to it, but messing around with these prongy things instead of being straight is ridiculous. 

I kinda wonder if we should just delete the last couple of pages as this is a pretty useful thread and is a good reference and don't want to derail it.

Thanks, returned mine today. Sent it Royal Mail recorded as I don't want it to go 'missing'. Although I had to pay £2.50 postage, Amazon said If the wrong item was sent then the error is on their side so the return postage would be included in the refund.

I phoned petrol scooters earlier and I asked him to check my order. Ah a motor he said. No 10 I said and why have you sent me some poxy plastic peg things instead? Oh we sometimes make mistakes. Well according to the internet quite a few people have been sent this plastic thing instead of a motor I said. Don’t worry it’ll get sorted he said ?

I got a refund explaining there had been a mixup of items.

 

[Tuffers]

Funny how they keep c0xking up and sending plastic glass cleaners out instead 

 

[Nudel]

Here's the message I received, I understand them not sending items out if it's priced that wrong..

Hello, 

Thank you for your order.

There has been an issue with your order, which I do apologise for.

The item you purchased for £2.49 was glass microfibre cleaning pads, the price for the Electric Motors is £21.99 This is due to an IT glitch on our system.

What I have done is issued a refund to save any further delay, if you wanted to reorder the Motors for the correct price you are welcome to do so.

Again I do apologise for the inconvenience, if I can assist with anything else please let me know.

Kind Regards

When I spoke to them they wanted me to email them a picture of the glasses cleaners. I have and have sent them a screenshot from the Amazon sale. They also said all businesses make mistakes....well they keep making the same mistake, or are they taking the pee?!

Woohoo! Took so long I was sure you weren't going to get them.

I've worked out all the details where and how I'm going to mount them (got bearings too!) and going to get it all set up tomorrow afternoon hopefully.
