Scorpion racing

[elmerfudd]

Has anyone used scorpion racing?? I found a thread for a snorkel and after a few replies to my query online a forum member pointed me in thier direction (not blaming anyone here tho) I bought one for £240.00. paid for by switch and expected it last wed/thur. No show, rang them on sat and they told me they would get back to me. By 6pm tonite (monday) still no call so i rang them and apparently they don't know where it is or when im gonna get it, I'm in Northern Ireland and gettin a bit freaked are they ok??

Or do i have to send the boys with the woolly faces to sort it out

Not delt with them my self but never heard anything bad about them! If it was sent by royal mail they will give it 2 weeks before they wiil say its lost??

they're quite well known and have big ads in the mags... so shouldn't worry too much... it should turn up sometime.

just what I was gonna say, they are a well known firm and always see their ads. I've not used them myself but I think my dad has.

roger that cheers, they just appear quite disorganised. Tempted to bin the snorkel idea and go for a lift kit instead.

Very impatient child me, when i buy something i want it yesterday.

I tried to deal with these people sometime ago, found them to be ill informed, eratic, dis organised and finally ..... plain rude.
Would not recommend them to anyone for anything, they produce very slick adverts but employ complete morons to man the phones, with a total lack of technical know how.
Utterly useless.

that would have probably been me that pointed you in there direction.

sorry to hear about your problems.

when i got my snorkel a few weeks ago from them i had no problems what so ever.

i checked the part number with a few other forum members that had already fitted one, phoned them with it and postage only took a few days.

did they say if they had it in stock? that was the first thing i checked with them, because like yourself i cant stand waiting on things.

cheers scotty

I think they supplied a lot of stuff for the TV prog A 4x4 is born, so they must be fairly reputable.

That shows a touching faith doesn't it!

Not at all fella!! I'm a big boy now, I ordered it on saturday 10th they told me it would be here latest Thurs 15th. As yet today it hasn't arrived. When I rang about it yesterday the girl i ordered it from didn't know whether it had been sent yet or where it was!! she was meant to ring me back on sun and she didn' then she was to ring me again today ...................... eh hello is my phone broke?? rang them again today to cancel and they told me it was out for delivery tomorrow.

If no snorkel tomorrow its going back when it arrives so santas sleigh aint goin underwater!!

Please don't think i'm blaming you scotty, its thier service i'm pi**ed at. More annoyed when people tell you they will ring you back and they don't, that really gets my goat.

[scotty]

no worries elmer,

its a pitty they have ****ed you about so much.

surfs do look good with the snorkel on, so heres hoping you get it when they say you will.

cheers scotty

Still no snorkel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rang scorpion yesterday who promised it was to be delivered today by parcelforce, and guess what no parcel = no snorkel. again scorpion where to ring me today to confirm snorkel would be delivered and again they let me down. Why do people say they will ring you when they never do??? that really pi88es me off , Just of the phone and they have promised a full refund so if anyone wants a snorkel they have one. They don't know where it is but they have it!!

[dirtydog]

why you would send stuff by parcel force i dont know.

I dealt with them once about 10 or 12 years ago, getting Vitara rims for a Lada Niva, found them very informative and helpful. I was in Lytham St Annes for a week and when their courier failed to deliver them to me on time (due to arrive on the Friday and I left on the Saturday), they immediately arranged for them to be sent to Dublin for me at no additional charge or hassle, had them the following week.
