SOME MORE POSITIVES FOR DARREN
Praise given where praise is deserved.
I to have given Darren a hard time with an order I gave some time back. Although way past delivery date Darren has stepped up to the plate and come
good. Part of the order will arrive in Australia this Sunday.
In saying that I changed the order as some items I did not need anymore and he was more than happy to help me out with even parts he does not stock,
can't ask for any more than that.
Hopefully the rest of the order will come soon, and I know it will
Thanks Darren.....
Cheers

Taking my 'Admin' hat off for a couple of minutes..... 
I am very pleased for you (oudacontrol) that you are getting your bits at long last.....
But why the shouting and praise?
Seemingly he has owed you this stuff for quite a while?
Surely he should be praising you and your patience .....?
Anyway, here is hoping your parts arrive soon, a very small step in the right direction.
I'm just keeping fingers crossed for the rest who are still waiting.....

This is what I've been thinking.
Sure, he was kind enough not to rob you blind, but that's hardly worthy of praise.
Do you cheer every time the person behind the checkout in a shop does their job? Same thing.
Step in the right direction no doubt, but not IMO worthy of praise.

I see where he's coming from - having never had any direct dealings with Darren, I really can't comment too much. But from what I can
see, aside from the fact that people always moan about Darren's poor service etc., he's actually gone out of his way to help on this
occasion.
There is usually a negative stigma attached to GTS, but it seems that things may be on the up now. Not excusing the historical wrongdoings, but a bit
of praise (for lack of a better word) where it's due does offset all the negativity felt towards GTS Tuning.
Or maybe it's just me happy to see another GTS builder?!?

Good news at last. I know how much of a haslle you have had getting these parts and I am just relieved that Darren has finally got it sorted.
Hopefully everything will arrive safely.

Do you actually know from a tracking number that the parts are on the way?? If not and its just on Darren's say-so - then i wouldnt be too quick
to praise anyone judging from all the broken promises that he has made previously!!
I'm baffled as to these recent "Praise" posts anyway. The company enters into a legal obligation to supply parts, doesnt do it in
the legally stipulated time (28 days unless otherwise notified) and then gets praise for it!! LOL
I'd say get the parts in your hand before praising any company, and if they've gone out of there way to do over and above what they should
THEN by all means post about it. Try asking Zen about the promises he had!!!

Admin hat off again.........
Look at this thread (last page)
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=116018&page=4
Whilst I am very happy for oudakontrol ... I don't think that after paying out and waiting over 2 years is worthy of praise, nor of praise that
Darren 'has gone out of his way'.
Nor have the parts actually arrived yet. 
I would suspect that 2 LB forum members have done their utmost behind the scenes to get this resolved for the OP........... if that is so, they
deserve the praise IMHO.......
All above is IMHO of course.
I just think you are happy to see another GTS builder

I have stayed out of the GTS debate in the past. I have not, and probably will not, buy parts from GTS. I think this possitive praise for doing what
you have been paid to do, and apparently nothing more (and also apparently less than you were paid to do) is illogical. I have not bought a kit but
bought my parts, mostly second-hand and some new, from countless sources. They have all arrived, in time and as ordered. This is normal. If there has
been personal contact then I will usually confirm parts arrived safe and well, and thank you.
That is all. Praise for part-completed late delivery is crazy. I can only assume this is a thinly veiled attempt to get on the good side of GTS so
that your chances of getting your order increase. The suppliers of parts I have used have ALWAYS delivered.

I don't want to get into a pi$$ing war of words, maybe praise was a little to heart warming for some, but hey I'm an Aussie.
I am happy Darren went down the road of putting things right, he could have waited till I went to court and then paid me a measly few bob a week until
the debt was paid, and this was a possibility but he chose to sort it out finally, this is what I "praised him for" finally doing the
right thing when he could have chosen something else.
And yes I do have a tracking number, and yes TNT couriers called me to confirm arrival for this Sunday, and yes I am still happy.
Merry Christmas all !

You might want to change the description of what you are building before Darren sees it!
See, I can be cheery - it come from being an Australian too.

This is what gets me about ebay feedback... what the hell is...
@~@~@@~@ A* SELLER PERFECT THANK YOU.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
or
+++++++++++++ BEST SELLER EVER!!++++++++++++
really? are they? or is it just that you expected it not to arrive and when you did you were surprised....
I tend to just write...
Product arrived promptly as advertised, thanks.
I completely agree with only giving great feedback for a company that goes over and above, such as the company I have been purchasing cameras off at
work. Their sales guy couldnt find the lenses we wanted so went round to a local electrical store and got them over the counter for us and didnt
charge us for them. ok not good that they could source them themselves in time for us but what customer service in going out and getting them by what
ever means they could!!! The company is http://www.premierelect.co.uk/
cheers

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

Parts for first shipment arrived as stated...
All parts are of very good quality. Alot of Wilwood pieces so quality is expected. The parts GTS TUNING fabricated for me such as the De Dion, guards
and a few others are of very good quality. I have purchased some pieces from other manufacturers including here in Australia and Darrens are up there
with the best.
All parts were packed extremely well to safe guard against damage during transit.
Again it has been some time with this issue of mine but at least Darren is doing the right thing to correct the past. Thankyou.
Cheers
