Default Beware of buyclutch.com

Guys,

buyclutch.com and trade on ebay as shozone

Whatever you do, don't even bother contacting these guys over a clutch. There customer services is utterly appalling.

I bought a clutch from them just before Christmas and got it shipped to the UK. Took it to my local Honda garage to be fitted and it was the wrong bloody kit. After a few searches on the internet, I found out that they had sent me a suzuki Swift 1.3 clutch in an S2000 clutch box. Needless to say, the Swift clutch is pretty much worthless compared to an S2000 clutch.

I contacted them and they ignored my emails. Went to bidpay who didn't have much luck. So here I am, warning you all about this company.

I now have a clutch that is useless and they won't exchange it for me!!!!

DONT EVEN TOUCH THEM!

Hope this steers a few people away from them!

Nick

I bought a clutch off ebay for my crx from seller called justclutch. Paid extra for faster delivery. However it never arrived. After emailing them, they offered me full refund straight away. Although the deal went wrong, I'd still recommend them because they reply to all my emails, sounded really nice, and quick to action.

Hope you get you money back.

I had a problem like this a couple of years back - I had paid by credit card but via PayPal. Turned out that (according to my card company but who had sorted out supplier disputes succesfully in the past for me) I had a contract with PayPal for them to take my funds (which they had fulfiled) but none with the supplier and hence the card company couldn't help. They suggested I try PayPal who were a waste of time also and the supplier (like the one here) wouldn't reply to my emails.

To cut a long story short I refuse to have anything to do with PayPal these days and always check that I'm dealing direct if I buy anything online or I don't bother. Even if PayPal have tried to address this problem now (which I think somebody told me they have) I won't use them or anybody else who operates in a similar way out of principle now.

PayPal are a great for the buyer these days but really really rip the sells off big time. Every time I have sold something on ebay first Ebay take a big cut and then Paypal take there cut... its hardly worth selling anything for under

Bidpay were utterly useless. I thought at least they would just take the money back from buyclutch.com and refund me so I could then send the items back!

Whatever you do, don't buy from these cowboys!
