Warning

[oldsparky]

hello fellow sparkies

a warning to you all with regard to an electrical wholsaler.

I ordered some light fittings online with this lot because they had the fitings in stock and i needed them ugently, my local suppliers couldnt help.. well i have been scammed, they are not trading and are still taking payments on line so keep well clear.... unless you know different

they trade as

*********

and

**********

so if i were stay away

I hope you paid by credit card? Chance you can get it back!

I think I was taken for a ride tonight, called into CEF and paid 78p each for 20mm galv couplers! FFS, I happened to be passing, needed them there and then etc etc.

"******? Guessing that's and amalgamation of "****" as in Foots **** near ****** and the word "**********" I live fairly local.............I could nip by and take a dump through their letterbox! :lol: (Think I used to use a Siemens stockist over that way?).

Those couplers, I wasn't really thinking there was I! I could have popped down to QVS in Orpington where they're only 15p each or Electricfix - same price. I will say though, begrudgingly, that these expensive ones do seem thicker gauge and the galvanising is not as snotty. Must be about time actually that Sevenoaks got a Screwfix.........................

Gold plated.

ONOFF... is actually possible to "dump" horizontally through a letterbox ????

And do we need a "Dumping " Smilie ?

So we cannot warn others of impending scams any more just i case they might sue..

I have no apology to make of any comments i made with regard to the said company because they have my money and i have no goods.

If they decide to answer their phone, return an e mail and speak to me and explain what is going on then i might consider an apology, until then i will spread the word on every forum i can.

Regards to you all, and i hope you dont get ripped off.
