Anyone else had a bad experience with them? Ordered a back wheel in september, returned with proof of postage, over 20 phone calls and a million and 1 excuses still no refund!! Now claiming through credit card. Would never buy from them again.

oh dear mate. A quick search through these forums could have saved you a whole load of bother. Sorry to hear you’ve had a bad experience of course.

Have you tried googleing Dave Hinde? There are pages of hate going back years and years.

There must be a massive Dave Hinde thread every few weeks! You are certainly not alone

Many people will be along in a minute. Most of them have learned the hard way.

I’ll put the kettle on………

Classic intro, ‘Dave Hinde, anyone else…’

Another one bites the dust….

……………..and I’ll get the biscuits!

oh no

why is this ****t person still allowed to trade?

Real nice bloke, good quality builds, great customer service, prompt emails/responses. Always found that if the product wasn’t in stock then they’d call and apologise, and offer me something similar or refund my money the same day, second to none returns department too, don’t understand all the hate, just a guy who clearly loves riding a bike and providing good service to like minded people.

IF WE’RE PLAYING OPPOSITES!

Dave Hinde exists purely to make other lacklustre mail order operations look better.

Bigblackshed, tea, milk plus one please, since you got the kettle on. I’ll fetch the Jaffa cakes……….

Used him a couple of times with no problems. I am the exception that proves the rule apparently.

This hinde bloke is a clever fella – must be working on the notion of there is no such thing as bad publicity!

Groundhog Day!!!

Welcome to the ‘Shafted from beHinde’ club

I’ve used him many times and never had a problem, in fact the service I’ve received could only be described as superb*

*this is all total rubbish, I’ve never used him but I’m sure some new member will be along soon to say something similar to the above.

Rockhopper – too slow, I sneaked in before you….

Dave Hindes idea of customer service is along the same lines of hunters in Borneo saving Rhinos, ie.Non existent.

Shall put kettle on and cut a nice slice of cake and settle in for the mud slinging

I bought some DX V-brakes from him on ebay years ago(under another name) and they arrived and are still in use.
phew!

zbonty in “Hinde delivered something shocker”

Careful zbonty, if Dave reads that he’ll be over to take them back and wee in your shoes for good measure, he has a reputation to maintain.

Living in Northwich, he’s my LBS.
And, on the odd occasion I’ve been into the ‘shop’ he’s been ok..
But, thank god for Tim @Sideways being just down the road.
