ja i was hoping to get Nigerian citizenship, but apparently you can't be Nigerian if you're a ginger

just send me an email about your uncle that was a prince and his millions you want to share and the Nigerian government will post your citizenship papers straight away. Ginger or not.

Can we add CWC to this list? I paid them on the 20th of April, no delivery, comms have gone dead as they don't answer their phone or messages and the stuff they sold me 7 weeks ago is still sitting at Customs.....

 

CWC... Scammers! 

is international cargo even coming in these days?

It is... But they should sell it with a caveat that it isn't in stock?

I've sold many bicycles and frames over last 15 years and if anything more than R5000, I make sure to get full ID, company, address that actually shows he works there.  And i get them to take bike or frame to legit Cycling shop and then courier will collect it there. Friend off mine lost his snazzy Scott road bike that ways R35000 gone, money was in his bank and next day payment was reversed.

Bank  was not very helpful in getting his money back.

No... CWC,, Chris Willemse Cycles.

 

They are selling things which they don't have in stock, not communicating this, then making you wait for weeks and weeks with no communication while your money sits in their account.

 

Pretty questionable business practice

Okay cool, I understand now. The customs thing threw me off as they are local.

 

I do agree, many sites sell things they do not have but they disclose it. Loot.co.za comes to mind, many books are ordered in as ordered, but you know that from the off.

a few weeks back when I alluded to the possibility of them doing this on purpose....people gave me grief for being a conspiracy theorist and silly. I said they were selling things they don't have in an attempt to pull some money in to pay the bills/pull some interest over lockdown....basically what other small businesses have been doing with the whole "buy a voucher - get your crap later when we open again" thing. After reading your post......I stand by my point more than ever. Not to mention it really must be a **** show there if it got YOU to complain. 

 

hope you get it sorted.

I dont get it though...they are still listing ZEE's for sale on their site...but obviously at 4,5k ish. I recall that price you got them at being a wee bit lower?. Maybe they have......but retail sets, and the set that was on special was OEM. now they dont have OEM anymore and dont want to give you a retail set? either way....not cool. get them to swop them for formula curas or something haha

Yeah, that is pretty much my gripe.

 

The fact that they don't communicate this, don't tell you this when you ask where your order is and it takes some toys leaving the cot to get a straight answer... 

 

I feel sorry for the poor chap I eventually spoke to. I apologized to him and told him I hope his employers apologize to him as well.

 

But ja, if 200 people have R5000 orders outstanding they have a bar sitting in their account and nothing delivered.

 

If I had known I would be without my brakes for so long I would have probably fished out some extra tom for some Cura's which I would have fitted ages ago.

 

The thing that grates me is they are still selling the same brakes I ordered, for non lockdown sale prices, with NO caveat that they aren't in stock...

 

I shall not be going back to them again unfortunately...
