Arnold Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Engine still hasn't come with is a major worry! Has anyone ever dealt with pallet couriers before? Yeah, but obviously it's down to the buyer to make all the delivery arrangements. Have they said when you'll be getting it, and provided a tracking number etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yeah, but obviously it's down to the buyer to make all the delivery arrangements. Have they said when you'll be getting it, and provided a tracking number etc?nah seller just showed me a bank statement on paying the company. He said it will come tonight as apparently the hgv with my engine is on the m4 which is right by my house. If it doesn't come by midnight I am contacted paypal about getting my money back and naming/shaming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza-Ben Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 yeah mate bought it about a month back from a guy on the starlet buy/sell Facebook page. Was sent two weeks ago apparentlyI offered good cash for it but was not interested i lived close aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 I offered good cash for it but was not interested i lived close aswellwas probably wanting to mess someone about. Do you have his address mate or rough whereabouts? If so message me. I highly doubt any respected courier would deliver this late. He seemed nice but the courier he is apparently using never pick up the phone or use tracking numbers. They do have a website though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 He was from Honiton area I beleive, why would a courier company be out this late delivering? All pallet company's etc use tracking and are bang on with deliverys I ended up getting another local for 150 that needed 80 quid to sort it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's too tempting to just name and shame now since this has gone on too long. Keeps making up excuses. Only thing I will give them is that he sent me a photo of the engine on the pallet all wrapped up with my address written on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mas12555 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Few more parts ordered. Importing some retro nismo stickers from japan. I fitted a c pillar brace made no difference but I looks cool. Car is basically ready for the starlet engine just need to do some work on the brakes and buy some Fttuned coilovers from Malaysia. Cost £900 but worth it due to the fact the race super turbos and have put a lot of money into research and development. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
