Chile 2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Chawton White
Not stolen but looks like
Several weeks ago Craddock spares quoted a filter part. He argued he could not quote the shipping cost to my country unless I pay him in advance 32 quid via his web page. So I did. Since then I did not get any reply. In the meantime I have sent him (them) 3 emails asking for a response or a money return. I know he (them) has opened such emails.

What can I do?

Thx

PD. What an asshole Puma 110" SW

just keep badgering them, they have reduced staffing so will take longer to get someone to come back to you. Cheers

My Craddocks order hasn't arrived yet either but neither have other items that are being shipped by Royal Mail. I know Royal Mail are doing far less deliveries at the minute, either that or the postie has a Defender

Wales 2007 Defender 90 Other CSW Trident Green
Parcel delivery times are not great at present due to corona. I have tracking numbers for a couple of parcels and they have been stuck at a central hub now for six days. I cannot grumble the delivery lads and lasses are doing the best they can under what are extreemly difficult circumstances. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

Liz at Devon 4x4 has been doing a sterling job sorting me out for parts. I know its only France but they are shipping stuff out double quick. I"m very impressed.

I am 4 weeks and waiting. I sent a very blunt email last week saying I appreciate they may have some delays but a reply to my two emails costs nothing. I then got a reply saying sorry they are very busy and they will fill my order as soon as they can.

My issue is they are happy to take an order and money without holding stock or even being aware they can get it. Its then ok to hold my cash for weeks whist they sort out the supply problem.

Many other companies are trading quite well, some sites will say we do not hold this item so may take a little longer. Fine my choice.

Craddocks are just givein a poor service and this will be the last time I get anything from them in the future. Rant over.......... 2010 XS USW

^^^^ I have never used them, however, when looking online many times I've found it useless.
From the web site not working properly, to poor shipping info to unknown stock availability.

So seeing that, is off putting so I never have used them. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

I never used them because they always used to show all their prices ex-VAT only, which is a pet hate of mine. They do seem to have fixed that now. It was also always insanely hard to find anything in the website unless you knew the part no. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS
