Is George of Classic Vee Dub still alive??
roofchop - April 16th, 2015 at 07:34 AM

I have emailed him 7 times now asking him to call me and rang over 180 times...yes 180, always user busy....
I placed an order on 24th Feb, got 3/4 of it 3 weeks ago, still waiting for the rest.
Half of what is missing I have paid for.

Anyone live nearby to check for vital signs?
I don't know what else to do....Office of fair trading?
Very frustrating, could have got the lot from the States, quicker and cheaper....

How sad that this is a regular story.......
Imagine how good a business it could be if it was run professionaly..............
Have bought parts from him before and the longest wait i had was 2 weeks,will think more than twice before ordering again........


Governor - April 16th, 2015 at 05:13 PM

Called him yesterday
Never had a problem with getting my parts


landfall - April 16th, 2015 at 05:46 PM

Never,ever, ever again.

He could advertise at half the price and I would not go near him. Maybe OK if you go in person, but by mail order? Forget it.


adlbeetle66 - April 16th, 2015 at 06:04 PM

Just like my experience. I ordered some bits as stated above, but 3 weeks and i hadn't heard from him. So i went to Mick Motors to buy the same bits, who were more expensive, but more helpful. I asked Mick if he was still there, he said yes, it would probably be 6 months till you hear from him, so i bought the bits at Micks. It was 6 months and 1 day till i got my parts.. :( :grind:


PAZZAN - April 16th, 2015 at 06:11 PM

THERE YESTERDAY HE HAS A COLD BUT HE IS THERE


roofchop - April 17th, 2015 at 07:26 AM

Still no replies, 20 odd calls to landline and mobile yesterday...

$1300+ order with parts missing....

If any of you city dwellers are visiting George, could you please mention order number 30040 and ask him to check his inbox and sort this mess out!

That would be very much apreciated.

Thanks all !

Frustrated Dave!

How is that possible? what did you do different?


zayus - April 18th, 2015 at 07:46 PM

Checked the website, yesterday - Classic VW is closed, this weekend.

Have never ordered parts online, but have purchased in store quite a few times. The service from George was good.

Sorry to hear your online/phone experience hasn't been too good.


roofchop - April 19th, 2015 at 07:11 AM

What website are you looking at?

The one I am using has no info regarding opening times etc.

Thats what i wanna know too! :crazy:


IWL_86 - April 19th, 2015 at 12:55 PM

No issues finding George when I need him. Try Cip1 next time perhaps


esevwbits - April 20th, 2015 at 09:17 AM

ring early morning, confirm parts are available, order, give card details, receive goods.

works everytime


ancientbugger - April 20th, 2015 at 09:24 AM

Obviously he has enough customers and doesn't need any more :(


rickp - April 20th, 2015 at 03:59 PM

i managed to call him today, he didnt have what i wanted though and he told me it would take a month which is more honest than the 2 weeks he usually gives me


Craig Torrens - April 20th, 2015 at 06:30 PM

I've always had great service from George.....never had a problem.

No it does not......

I have been ringing every morning many times for weeks, always "user busy" or mobile goes to message bank.....

Could anyone who is privaliged to talk to him ask him to look at order 30040 or read his emails before I call the office of fair trading?

He is taking the P**S


adlbeetle66 - April 21st, 2015 at 07:09 AM

:(. What a pity... So mobile didn't work either?


wombatventures - April 21st, 2015 at 06:49 PM

Maybe someone should email George a copy of this thread and the other one that mentions him. Seems some people find him ok to deal with while others aren't satisfied. perhaps if he knew that he might change his business practices.
Just my2c worth


roofchop - April 22nd, 2015 at 06:51 AM

He doesn't reply to e mails either....

I either have to drive 8+ hours (or fly) to say hello or open a case with the office of fair trading.

Is there anyone local to him that can ask him to contact me re order 30040

over 200 phone calls, 10 emails to 2 addresses, nothing....

Thanks
Dave

Anyone nearby? Please? Another 20 calls yesterday........


HappyDaze - April 23rd, 2015 at 07:40 AM

There must be someone who could have a word to George, on Dave's behalf ?

I rarely travel to Sydney these days - can't stand the place - otherwise I would call in.


bugmaniaar - April 23rd, 2015 at 06:56 PM

Surely he is aware of these dramas........Come on man.........
