This site should look into their sponsor www.r171.co.uk who seems to be ripping everyone off, selling goods but unable to supply them.

They claim top have sent hundreds of vario roof modules out yet nobody seems to have one!

I have tried to get in touch with Benzworld but all my e-mails get rejected. Anyone else had any luck?

I am supposing that the sponsor is paying. That probably makes it hard to think about booting them out.

It also makes the BenzWorld people complicit in what is going on, since they must know by now what is happening.

It's a bit distressing, actually ...

A while ago, Frank (benzworld host) said 'if enough people complained directly to him, then he would look into it' - I pm'd him, and am still waiting....

Because now I'm reluctant to use ANY of the sponsors here.

Duo-Art · 07-18-2005, 01:37 PM

I agree with Fred. One bad sponsor spoils it for the rest. I haven't ordered anything from any of the others either.

fredfromny · 07-18-2005, 01:48 PM

Maybe the reputable sponsors will exert a little muscle.

I have emailed them in the past and they replied that orders are being filled. I have emailed them again today and have mentioned this to Michael, our attorney who will be corresponding with them if this does not get resolved. From what I gather everything else was delivered except for the roof remote.

Please don't take this out on other sponsors nor the site. As much as we try our best to screen every sponsor, there will always be bad apples. I hope this is not the case with this one. It's very hard for us since we're based in the USA and this company is in the UK. Rest assured I am on top of this.

I have removed them from the sponsor list until they get this resolved.

This thread will be stickied to the top as well.
