Sometimes the end is never insight ,
however it is always promised to be
"NO WORRIES MATE NEXT WEEK"
I cancelled an order for an interior after 12 months of delays.

So true..been charged and still waiting. Is it true he is going to dubs? If he is going to be some people wanting to catch up with him!

He is just busy.

Sorry but twelve months of string alongs is incompetence not busyness.
What really makes me angry is I let myself get strung along for so long in the hope of saving some $$.
Two choices really go to Vintage they are very helpful and efficient if not cheap or buy from the US IPS West, Cip1 and others are efficient and cheap and much faster tan George.
Shame really that the Aussies havent got it together. Mitchell

😂
Sometimes not bad delivery sometimes i can cut the grass 2 or 3 times while waiting.😂😂
Next week mate.......
Welcome to the round about...

George is a nice bloke so dont take me wrong but "yeah no worrys mate " "cheers mate " when you havent got the right parts you order is a bit of a pain in the ass vintage are very good and they sell top notch parts also mick motors are good to talk to !!! and i have heard good things about RPR and dats ! i have never brought os as there are heeaps of vw parts here in AU !!!!

Don't hold your breath, I gave up after 3 months, bought direct and saved $300 and received it within 2 weeks

Funny thing - I was talking to Dylan the Dubber at the Cooperabung hill climb this afternoon and he was telling me about how he has been getting the "next week mate" line for a few months with an exhaust, and we mentioned this thread.
It would have only been 6 or 7 minutes later that a bloke I know with a replica vintage mercedes (something a bit like Cruella De Ville's - it has beetle front blinkers on the guards, and elephant feet tail lights amongst other things) saw me as he was walking past and said "what is the story with George from CVD - he is sending me some US style front blinkers 'next week mate' for 6 months now, & I still don't have them".
Dylan & I looked at each other and burst out laughing. 😂

hi all, i bought plenty of stuff from classic vee-dub. no problems at all. George always delivers.
ancientbugger ·
I've said this before but if he's that busy get some staff, he must be losing more customers trying to keep to his one man band theme. I know I no longer spend my money there no matter what a 'nice guy' he is.
tristanm ·
Sigh phone is still engaged..... will try again later if its still off the hook iam emailing him not to bother.
1916baja ·
The problem I have with him is honesty, if he was up front to start off with and said it'll be in in a few months that would be fine... But he just strings you along with the next Wednesday crap. If he has it in stock you'll generally get it but if he doesn't, don't bother.
tristanm ·
Yea he told me he didnt have it in stock, so just canceled the order and bought elsewere.
DubLeg ·
I'm still waiting on parts that I've paid for from about 2 years ago now.
tristanm ·
Well all i can say after all these comments iam glad i posted here and got out of it before i had payed him and then subsequently probably been in for a world of headaches.

As He doesn't answer phone calls or emails
bit hard to get a refund...
and He has probably forgotten all about it..""
as He rang Me a week after My order to find out what I had ordered?? [ a couple of years ago]

tar76 ·
Thats it won't answer the phone so refund is near impossible for guys that don't live close.
Sides ·
Wow - more patient than I'd be. After two years I'd be thinking Letter of Demand or State Consumer Affairs.
That said the couple of times I've bought stuff from Classic it's been simple as and arrived within a few days.
Must be luck of the draw I guess...

Rang George Up Yesterday right smack bang in the middle of the day answered first go and fixed it all up for me and within 20 minutes i got a shipped notification in my emails.
Very happy, if he upgraded his website a little bit and had another person to answer fones things would run sooo much smoother!
