fleabag

I may have to do the same Lefty. MD is Richard Harfield and he's a director of more than just HW Audio PLC

Thanks again all ...superb info Not that bothered about covering anything else other than getting my money back. Good to know that the SC fees can be included, though if they didnt, it wouldn't have bothered me. They might refund me before the 7 day dead line, or may try to post another combo out. I'm only accepting a refund. They've had their chance.

Yup, the email was not nasty at all, i just laid out what happened, which of course they knew anyway. Thing is, i'm betting they'll send another combo ( a good one this time ) but i no longer want a replacement. I'm done with them. If they do send another, i bet my thin wallet contents they wont tell me its on its way. I'll know when it turns up, so i'll just refuse to accept it. I dont know where i stand legally with that

Just waiting for a reply now, but as said above, i've given them 7 days for a refund, then its TS or SC

Yep, basically Nicko, thats what i said in the email, which i guess is why a got a quick response. Pity they kept quiet for long, withou any updates since it was collected by them because of the damage done in transit. Seems to me they have money and are now dragging their feet. Not unheard of in this day and age . I did look at Small Cliams and if you do it online, its 25 quid for anything upto 300 quid. Strangely, i cant include the 25 quid fee when asking for my money back

Bit of an update Dave, i found the MD and sent an email. He has responded quote ... "Sorry about that, I thought it had been done. Was it bought through the website or eBay? Regards Richard" I sent him the invoice number so he should know where i bought it. Thats all the commuinication i've had so far. I'll try TS before small claims

Ok - found an email for Richard Harfield MD and have fired off a message. Guess i sit and wait Thanks lads

I got this, but i was looking for an email address for the MD https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/01642188/officers

Thanks peeps. The shop is HW Audio PLC https://www.hwaudio.co.uk/ It was bought new on Ebay, via bank debit card / Paypal. The problem as in the link thread above started at 5 months of ownership. The 180 days has already passed for Ebay so they wont get involved. I checked. I have no idea about my bank. I'd guess that they'd say you paid via PP so contact them. Perhaps maybe the deadline of 7 days or seek to refund might be a start. I'll do it by email so i have a recordable proof of conversation I have no idea who the MD is

I guess that maybe the answer. !!

About 5 or 6 months ago, i bought a new combo .. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/440501-humming-for-england/ It was sent back for repair, then they posted it back to me in flimsy packing. A couple of wraps of bubble and lobbed into a box that had about 6" of space all round. Soon as i opened the box , there was damage in several place. Ironic that, if you read the thread in the link, that when i was preparing to pack it up for the repair, they told me to pack it properly or they wont be responsible for damage en route. Then they send it back with the silliest of packing and it gets facked by the courier. I didnt even try the combo. I just contacted them and showed them photos, and to take the thing back. I've heard nothing since. They collected it this 2nd time on the 19th Oct. I feel like i'm being taken for a mug ... so whats the next step ? Any legal eagles here ? Check the damage. This is after it went back for the loud humming, and was returned to me in this condition

Ah man what a shame. As a youngster, i loved The Magicians Birthday and had it in my collection.

They will probably sink if they dont and there goes their business. Its sad state of affairs, and for small business owners, a real dilemma.

I could but i wont. I've never said a word to him in all this time. But this is how i proved to Ebay that i had never been aggressive. So they could see what a nasty childish piece of he work he is. A total liar He didnt like that i wouldnt post the item, and he started his campaign of not cancelling the auction like i asked and then deliberately marking the item ' paid for ' I maintained the higher ground up until i got pizzed off with his childish behaviour and bought one of his items .

Well, who would have thought. Not only did Ebay remove the nasty git's feedback, they did it a day early. Shocked

As an ex Northampton resident, the Billy was a constant source of gigs for the 3 piece band i was in at the time. What a bluddy shame. Had some good times gigging around Norty Hampton

Good to see some musos having some fun before Stalag 16 kicks in. Good playing there chaps Good voice on Tom too. Result !

He's got plenty of stuff for sale

There's only one way i know to remove a boner

My Herpes are a planet unto themselves. How they're still in business is a miracle

UPDATE The moron has now left me neg feedback for the item i was selling. Remember he messaged me to say he cant collect and if i want payment, i would have to post it. I never ever messaged him, i just simply cancelled the sale. So the remark about agressive was false, and it was because he wouldnt collect, i cancelled. Then he accuses me of cancelling. Read the FB screen shot. Already spoke to Ebay CS, and they checked out the messaging, and agreed he was being a w@nker ( My words, not theirs 😎 ) and are going to remove his bullsh*t feedback within 2-3 days Pr*ck

Heads up ! My money was refunded as they're out of stock. Why do they list stuff they dont have ? zzzzzzzzzzzzz Still, i only bought the strings yesterday and refunded today, so fair play fair deal. Still, if you dont have stuff in stock, take it off the fackin website or list it as Out Of Stock you muppets

If only i could play keys like that comedian

I had a bit of search for something similar to DR Sunbeams but cheaper ( Nickel over round core ) and came across Fair Deal Music selling GHS Bass Boomers for £23 a set and free shipping, which was cheaper than anywhere else in the UK, that i found anyway. Ordered ML3045 set Just a heads up folks https://www.fairdealmusic.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/19435

I think most of us could ID Karn playing bass, even if the camera only focused a close up on his hands. He has very a unique plucking and fretting system
