advice needed. parts ordered through a friend not delivered
Discussion
Right last year in September I asked a friend with contacts at a suspension company if he could ask about doing a deal for some coilovers for my bmw.
He managed to sort a deal of my old mx5 coilovers by that company and £100.
At Christmas he had missed an email asking which rears I needed. Not an issue as He was busy with work till January and I wasn't in a massive rush at the time so he had some flexibility on time.
Figured after January he would have them sorted as his work schedule would lighten a bit.
Then waited and eventually told that a driver for the company had been taking customers parts and mine was one such set.
They didn't have any more refurbished sets so would have to make me some new ones.
Waited and waited, not wanting to pester him constantly I just gave him a text every couple.of weeks asking when I'd get them.
He said they were ready but then was at a wedding when I was in london.
Tried a few times for my brother in law to collect for me.
Never happened.
Then 3 weeks ago he said he had posted them. Had nothing. Text him earlier this week saying I need them by Friday or money back.
Still nothing. Got a reply finally when I said I needed my money.
No apology, no I will check with the courier etc.
He has said he would pay me back by tuesday, apparently was meant to be giving me £200 today(Saturday) but nothing. He also hasn't said an agreed value and how much I want back.
Just wondering what standing I might have if I don't get my money back as my coilovers I gave him could of sold for £400 as I had been offered that.
Feeling frustrated and let down by a supposed friend after 10months and now the suspension on the car is in need of swapping due to wear.
I've had to skip track time due to not having the suspension as well.
Thoughts anyone?
Mods move if in the wrong section.
