garyb Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) The Mrs told me the other day, that she was still waiting for an online order to arrive. This order contained part of my xmas present... Great we all love shooting bits for xmas When I enquired who it was from... she told me it was from a well known Pigeon shooting equipment supplier, come BASC trade member based in the North West :yp: The same company who's name on here is starred out when you type it.. ############## <-See! Gulp... Looks like I'll be getting sweet FA for Xmas then, judging by their well known mail order reputation - or lack of, Or maybe I can expect it for Xmas 2012? Of course.. she's been given the usual fob story of "it's in the post" or had no response to her emails / phone calls. Ho hum - how the hell are they still in business? Surely it's about time BASC cut ties with them, and helped stop them fleecing any more members of the shooting community. Merry Christmas anyway!

Imperfection Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I thought BASC said in their mag a while back they had cut ties with them or did i dream that? Don't Panic!...All Orders Placed Today Are Guaranteed For Christmas!... I bet it dont mention which christmas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ550Kevlar Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I thought there was something in the BASC magazine or something about this outfit along the lines of they were cutting ties or something due to the poor performance and reputation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think they did, at least until they threw their proverbial toys out of the pram and threatened BASC with legal action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 BOC's can't believe they are still going. Ignore BASC they just take the money the company just shouldn't be trading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cottonseed Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) I've heard nothing but negative remarks about the company concerned. I can't believe BASC allowed themselves to be bullied with the threat of legal action. After the negative publicity this company probably haven't got a pot to **** in, never mind finance a court action.

chrispti Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Guess what..... Still no sign of it Feel for you mate Whats more annoying, is the fact they still come on PW and read the posts, so they are probably reading this, laughing and purposely going to stall your delivery . . . . . or just not bother sending it at all They have had ample chance to earn back a good reputation, but still, they cant be bothered. All we can do is pass on our bad experiences and stop shopping there http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=decoying%20uk%20complaints&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CDMQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reviewcentre.com%2Freviews5764.html&ei=FI73TuCgIYqdOp-4xKMB&usg=AFQjCNE-EK2tFkG150VueJ-OfZ8Tp8ULFQ :unsure: Edited December 25, 2011 by chrispti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 And..... STILL NO SIGN! Not only that, but ******* have failed to even return contact with her! Currently the credit card company are investigating... Thankfully she placed a duplicate order with another vendor, who were able to deliver next day in time for Xmas - at no additional charge. The fact that companies like this still exist really makes my blood boil... I plan to ask BASC just why they are still listed as a valid trade member. Criminals.

garyb Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) So! Still no sign of either the goods, or the refund as promised by the head highwayman MD himself I've just quickly penned this email to BASC. Please can someone at BASC explain to me why, the company ############## are still listed as a BASC trade member despite repeat complaints from your members as to the bad conduct of this said company? They are still "fleecing" members of the shooting community of their cash, and I fail to understand why BASC would list and support them in a trade directory. We are still waiting for an order placed in Nov to arrive, and have repeatedly asked for a refund - which although always promised, never actually materializes. Please review the comments of the wider shooting community here - http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews5764.html Our next step is to involve the small claims / money reclaim courts.. Looking forward to hearing from you. Edited February 3, 2012 by garyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
