Or the item is not too good regardless of where purchased. A few ppl i know rave about them to be honest. Thanks Edited July 25, 2011 by baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postie Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 i have also just bought 2 of these and found them to be of very poor quality and will have to modify slightly in order to get them to work properly. I bought 2 Chris Green floaters 3 years ago and found them to be far superior in quality and design. That will teach me to skimp - you only get what you pay for at the end of the day !!!!!

roadkill Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 My shooting buddy bought a load of gear from A1 and it was all good stuff the pigeons he bought are the ones where both wings spin in the wind and it gives the effect that they are flapping to land he also got a magnet and some bird cradles and all was good working stuff. roadkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACK-GUN Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 the turbo flapper is spot on, the rotor coy is the one with build quality. perhaps if you ask them them they might exchange them against the turbo flapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I ordered some deeks from them on the 15.7.11 & they never turned up. They "sold out" with some replacements at the CLA but promised to send replacements out the next day but i asked for a slight delay as I'd be out the estimated day of the new delivery. Fingers crossed they arrive as promised on Sat. To be fair about your original comment. Depends on your view of things, some dislike Baikals & others love them, same with just about everything, cart's, deeks, nets, you name it there's allways the love or loathe camps.

steve_b_wales Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Lodge a complaint with Ebay, because if the irems are inferior etc etc, then you may get all your money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Well, my complaint was easily sorted by email & phone, some of my lost order replacements arrived today. If you feel your item/s is faulty post them back so they can see for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
