Well if my samco hose clips don't arrive today my weekend of getting the bike back together and ready to go back on the road is going to be ruined. So here I am patiently hoping and praying that the postie brings my parcel today or the twat on ebay I bought them from did infact post them out by expess delivery on Tuesday like I was told he had!! What are the odds folks as time is pushing on a bit now to!
Well postie arrived and delivered my clips which I was expecting to be a set of samco stainless hose clips to suit my bike. What do I recieve a load of shit cheap clips I could have picked up for nothing from my dads boat yard, now i'm really pissed off!!
Sadly another member falls foul of unscrupulous sellers palming crap off as genuine goods. Bad news man, hope you get it sorted and I soon read in the paper of a man having clips surgically removed from his arsehole Think we should have a page here where we can add poor rated sellers? Edit, if it seems to good to be true? It probably is.
It isn't like they were overly cheap either I paid £29 for them! I've just looked throught the demon tweeks catalogue and found them in there for £38 for the set, granted more expensive but the one's i've recieved would look worse than reusing the original honda one's plus when using silicone hoses the clamps should be smooth inside not like a frigin cheese grater!! AAGGHH
I've just sent the seller a message that i'm not happy with what i've recieved and that i'd like him to arrange for them to be collected and would like a full refund. I'm going to pop out know and have a look at the originals to see if i'm happy to reuse those or not. The steam from my ears is slowly easing off!!
Sorry to hear that Andrew, one of my pet hates is waiting in for the postie. Then to have crap delivered.
I'll learn one day, just go to a big reputible company and be guaranteed to get what i've paid for. It's just nice to be able to save a few quid here and there, but like this occassion it sometimes bites me on the ass!!
We all hope that people can keep to there word, or simply describe goods correctly.... You are the one questioning why you could do something so stupid, in my eyes all you did was trust someone to deliver on what they said. A lot of dealers, shops etc seem to not give a shit anymore and at times like these they really should be doing the opposite, I feel for you I really do but until now I thought it was just me got constantly screwed about !
I got my Hose Clamps Part No HON-63 today as well. They should be stainless steel and came from Racebikebitz. Bought it via ebay for 19 GBP. Unfortunately I can't find anything on the Clamps about stainless steel and I am not sure what I got here.
Thats the seller I bought them from and the quality is very poor, for silicone hoses they should be smooth on the inside to stop the clamps snagging and possible tearing the hose as they are tightened. Mine are the opposite end of the scale i'm affraid!
Yeah thats the seller I got mine from mate, he's making the sets up using cheap clips/clamps I could have got better quality ones for free of my old mans store shelf. We are covered by the distance selling regulations so getting the money back shouldn't be an issue, what pissed me off most is it's fucked up my plans of getting the bike back together over the long weekend!
I am really pissed off as well because I just opened the bag because of your thread and saw what I got.
