blythmrk Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Your missus is very understanding! I wanted to keep a couple of scooters in our conservatory whist I made room in the garage but it was s no! Although I have had car parts in the spare bedroom when they have been stripped down the only trouble now is my 2 yr old daughter likes to hide things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Pissed off today! Got up and ready at 8am for this engine to be delivered, waited all week for this and paid an additional £43 for Saturday delivery and it hasnt shown up! Rang JDM Garage and the guy quite simply said he didnt know why it hadn't arrived and that "he doesnt deal with that side of the business" was put on hold while he contacted the delivery firm to then be told there office isn't open on a Saturday and i should wait till Monday! Mondays no fucking good hence why i paid extra for it to be delivered today!! Then when i told him that i had specifically paid for a Saturday slot i was told again that he didnt deal in that side of the business. So if you dont deal with deliveries and dont deal with finances - what do you deal in? and why are you answering the phone?! Anyway, not a good start with JDM Garage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Not good enough, make sure you get a full refund for the "Saturday" delivery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Not good enough, make sure you get a full refund for the "Saturday" delivery!Oh i will do! Although im still going to have to get it delivered on a Saturday because its the only time im free without booking a day off work. If I'd have booked a day off work and it hadnt shown up I'd have cancelled the order and bought another engine elsewhere. Things like this really wind me up - even more so when its something as a expensive as this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Not good to hear at all mate, I know how your feeling believe me I hate situations like that. I have to say I have heard bad things about JDM garage my mate got engine and was meant to include ecu but when turned up no ecu and had to wait few weeks for ecu to turn it and he kept ringing them and they weren’t intrested at all.

Fortunately i specified i didnt want the Ecu, just the engine and loom with all ancillaries execpt the turbos. If they mess me about il simply cancel the order and buy elsewhere.

HarleyFDMD Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 One of my concerns now is.. i have paid them quite alot of money for an engine. I dont know where it is and they dont know where it is. But somewhere in the country is my engine, in the possession of someone i dont know.. and subsequently dont trust, and they are going to have my engine now until Monday at the very earliest!

sidewaysdan Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 How did you pay mate? Surly they have some sort of tracking on it.. they must use the same delivery company to deliver their engines and parts. I’m sure it will be fine mate but it’s not good when you pay for sat delivery and it don’t turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 I have spoken with JDM Garage this morning and they have been very apologetic. It seems the fault lies with the pallet company though, and as a result they are doing a special delivery for me tomorrow evening. The delivery fee has also been refunded to me. All going well i should have the engine tomorrow evening now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
