Wing Stay Purchase....
Dave Bailey - 11/2/11 at 10:07 PM

Ordered some sierra front wing stays from Daren @ gtstuning earlier in the week... Emailed him for some confirmation on size but had no respose.... I have never bought from them before and I am sure that everything will be o.k. but is this company normally no problem to buy from?

Thanks
Dave B

Darren is renowned for late and lost orders.
You will always find a mixture of responces on this forum.
Take matters into your own hands and chase the parts or your money as much as you can.

here we go

tried calling the mobile number on the websire a couple of days ago with a response of unknown number...

Getting a bit worried now....

You've seriously never heard about GTS? Just do a search. I believe if you Skype him he may answer (not at this time of night though, obviously).
ETA try U2Uing Eddie99 I think he works for Darren.

Eddie99 doesnt work for Darren just happens to live nearby and is building a Panther.

Unfortunately for you Darren is in the middle of relocating his workshop to new premises so I would expect quite a delay as he is megga disorganised at the best of times.

You will need to persevere with your order, Darren has been quite good lately keeping up with things but obviously the move will effect things.

I'll give him a nudge in the right direction as he gets bits for my build occasionally.


Dave Bailey - 11/2/11 at 11:45 PM

thanks guys.... I will try to call his number again tomorrow....

Try skype, that mobile number doesnt work atm


dlatch - 12/2/11 at 01:38 AM

if these are the same as the rally design ones then they don't fit anyway


Stuart_B - 12/2/11 at 08:04 AM

hi, eddie99 does not work for Darren as stated all ready but he he does talk to Darren, but we will not be able to help at the moment as he has gone on holiday.

cheers

great this just gets better...... in what respect wont they fit? it states they fit sierra uprights.


gavin174 - 12/2/11 at 10:03 AM

I have used these and so has eddie99

so they do fit..

I have spoke to Darren on skype this morning

he said you ordered wednesday evening

he is in the middle of a move and having some comms issues but will email you later


Dave Bailey - 12/2/11 at 10:34 AM

Gavin,
Thanks for this.... appreciate the help..

Does anyone have either a Mobile number or a landline number for Darren? Ordered some wing stays... was told they wouldn't fit and received one email to say my £57.00 would be refunded the day after and yep you guessed it nothing since....

no money...
no parts....
no email....

How can people behave in this way?

If the number advertised on the web site doesn't work why not put one there that does?

you guessed it I'm not a happy chappy!

Ben_Copeland - 1/3/11 at 08:21 PM

How do they not fit? If you dont mind me asking


ReMan - 1/3/11 at 08:48 PM

Cant believe you've been here since '85 and not come across this fraudster before.
Sorry you got hit


Dave Bailey - 1/3/11 at 08:48 PM

I asked a question of GTS to confirm they would fit 15" wheels.... I was advised that they would not and told a refund would be given...then stupid me realised that the fronts I have are actually 14's so mailed back to ask if they would fit 14's but I heard nothing....

to be honest I just want out now..... Thanks for the U2U Ben....
