PSA: Free hope floating rotors

i wonder what the lead-time for a million rotors is from hope?

Getting an error message when trying to order…

Andy

Guessing your trying to pay through paypal, received the same error so paid via credit card

Same here.

Paid by card & worked that time…

Andy

Why on earth are you lot ordering them, there is no way that lot will give you the rotors for free

People said the same with regards to the oakley thread, which was of a much higher value.

However I know we are dealing with the notoriously difficult Dave Hinde, so i’m not holding my breathe. It will cause Dave hinde more hassle than it will me.

Personally I think he is a genius, he is down the pub right now spending all your tenners and laughing as he knew it was the only way he would get any cash out of the STW collective…

……..and live 20 mins away from Northwich

So you’ll be able to visit the shop and get your abuse in person rather than by e-mail or over the phone!

edit due to idiocy.

Is he really that bad? Never heard of him before.

Oh yes. Refuses to honour warrantees,* accuses people of mistreating wheels when they fall to bits,* been banned from e-bay*, threatens people who ring with complaints to “come down here if you think you’re hard enough”* and **, etc.

* allegedly.
** this may have been his staff, and not actually Dave, (allegedly of course)

Um, can any of you who have a knowledge of the law tell me if I may have just booked myself a visit to court if I don’t edit this quickly?

I wonder if any of you have booked yourselves a trip to court by conspiring to defraud.. or something.. 😕

Can’t see it; it’s not like we’ve hacked his website & changed the price.

(Not expecting him to honour this, but nothing ventured…)

Thanks mr mills, I followed your helpful link. I copied & pasted some ebay feedback that he left so you could all see with ease:

How bizarre. With any normal retailer you’d just be wasting your time and have to wait a few days to get your money back. You lot have picked the one who you’ll have to fight to get your money back from. Did all of you who’ve ordered seriously think you might get sent some rotors? You know what they say about a fool and his money.

We’ll see who’s laughing when I’ve got my free rotors.. 😉

If enough people order them and he refuses to honour the orders (which he will), you can just organise a mass visit to the shop to all demand your free rotors / refund of P&P. Take pitchforks, flaming torches and someone from the local paper 🙂

Bombers for god sake, its a cycling shop.

Not sure if cycling shop is the correct word though, it is still a bike shop its just run by a group of cowboys who make it a pretty unreliable bike shop.

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

aaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Damn I was going to set up a Dave Hinde log-in! Beaten to it.

lol

Oh! NOW it’s gonna get legal 😯

I can just see the local paper headlines now:
ANGRY IT MIDDLE MANAGERS WHO TRIED TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING DEMAND THEIR MONEY BACK

my order was the first…i just hope thats the one that slips through the net 😉

I notice the listing’s been removed from his website.

Andy

Is he really that bad?

Yes – you can all wave bye bye to the postage you’ve paid 😆

I’ll have £9.95 on you not getting anything (you can pay me when you get your postage back 😆 ).

you can pay me if you get your postage back

FTFY

Mint sauce keyring thread was a fun lunchtime read, make this a sticky.

Rotors arrived today. Well chuffed. Will post pictures soon.

v funny.

you only ordered them 18hours ago. On a bank holiday 😉

Sorry, was just practising, you know, just in case.. 😉

It’s likely to cost him 50p per order just in card charges let alone staff costs in processign the refunds.

I bet DH will be falling over themselves to do refunds…

Not a massive surprise that I’ve not had my order acknowledged…

Andy

Edit – spam filter had got it

I’m watching this thread with interest…. Being one of the people DH and his cronies have been rude to/attempted to rip off.

I’m hoping you all manage to annoy him REALLY badly, but you’re waving goodbye to your tenners if you’ve not got some form of protection.

I had an email confirming my order, that’s it.
