Would you buy from this company?

Post by Gtiracer »

Here is a copy of an email conversaation I had with a company that uses two different websites to trade through, should I trust them do you think? (I may have been a bit harsh but I didn't wanna get screwed)

Wow, On ebay they're like 23.99 so i looked on your websaite for the price of the newer passat ones and found the one for my actual car at £24.95.

Do you have a reason for trying to screw an extra £15 out of me or just trying to make up profits after the christmas lack of sale?


I am highly unimpressed by your lack of honesty and unprofessionalism, I certainly wont forget to mention this on car forums when people ask me recommendation on who to buy from.

They reply with:


Hi Alex

I am sorry this is a genuine error as we buy these in Euros and have to tranfer to sterling

Mike



Yet 39.95 euros convert to about £33 so not quite sure what they're trying to get across?


Anybody used them/recommend them?
