Hell yea, that never getā€™s old with me. Some shit I listen to new stuff I actually like, some of it is shit though.

Pendulum, Hold your colour had to get a run this weekend. Made iirc 13 years ago. Been awhile since I last listened to that awesomeness.

I listen to damn near everything. I hated the radio at work as every fkn day at the same fkn time they kept playing meatloaf all fkn year. Guys can we please change the station to something else, nope you canā€™t touch this. Thatā€™s what Iā€™m talking bout MC hammer, something, anything or I quit. :rofl:

Good track but wasnā€™t something listened to

Songs like this were more my jam, video clip for it is much newer than the song

Canā€™t speak on your behalf, but my retailer have had many issues with them sending the wrong shit - esp faulty.

8 items in one batch having to be returned at the retailerā€™s own expense for postage - shit adds up!

Glad I never ordered online from them, as their page is never always updated, plus whoever idiots are responding on the chat messages just dont understand the fucking concept here.

So unfortunately I have to put this here just to advise everyone of the issue I am having with @azraelsarmoury and hopefully warn people. I recently purchased a m249 minimi from Azraels almost a month ago and still havenā€™t received it, for a bit of context hereā€™s a quick timeline:
The product was ordered on 22 May . A shipping label was created on 27 May , but there has been no further tracking movement since then . I have followed up multiple times by email, phone, and SMS, but I still have not received the product or a proper update.

22 May
Product ordered.

27 May
I emailed requesting an update on the order.

27 May
A shipping label was created. However, there has been no tracking movement since this date.

4 June
I emailed again requesting an update because the tracking still had not progressed.

4 June
I called the seller, but there was no answer.

5 June
I spoke with the Brent by phone. I was told to wait until Tuesday 9 June for an update.

9 June
I called again for an update. I was told they would contact Australia Post and get back to me. I did not hear anything further.

10 June
I called again. I was told the item had been dropped off at the depot and that they would go and ask that afternoon, then update me. No update was provided.

12 June
I called and sent SMS messages. There was no answer and no reply.

15 June
I attempted to call again, but only received a busy dial tone.
Sent formal email request for an update and immediate fulfillment.

16 June
I attempted to call again, but again only received a busy dial tone.

So here I am, almost a month later with no blaster and Brent has gone dark.

I used to rate them as my top retailer as Brent had always provided great service but unfortunately this has really destroyed any good will and support I had for them.

Will update this if anything changes.

331

Bugger, Iā€™ve spoken to Brent in the past. Not recently. Good fellow.

Have you got your details so you can claim chargeback. Bank security team with your challenge questions.

Tracking details, you need at a bare minimum to see if itā€™s like my phone that took a holiday all over australia but that was a post problem. Wtf is it doing in WA. :joy:

I get postal within a few days for business parts. Been quite good this year so far.

Sorry Iā€™m not much help.

Unfortunately, a sign of the times.

Tightening market, less consumer confidence, no new stockā€¦

Being squeezed from all sides.

More businesses will go to online only, or close , unfortunately ā€¦

Thanks alboā€¦

I know as Iā€™m a frontline worker. But as long as I plan forward I do ok.

Thatā€™s why I was forward warning those who listened last year. Here comes trouble.

Cheers, yeah from the sounds of it heā€™s broke, according to the guys on discord anyway

335

Oh bugger. Did he drop a gear and go flat out like I had to.

Sorry havenā€™t caught up lately as have been extremely busy.

This probably explains why my emails were never replied to when I had a genuine question about some of his products. I nearly pulled the trigger on one of the HK models, had it sitting in my cart mulling it over - my sub-conscious was telling me to waitā€¦just had some questions. Kind of relieved I never went through!
Feel sorry for the other guy who made the purchase. Ive been there before - the owner took off with the money and disappeared.

337

bugger.
not what i wanted to hearā€¦

i just actually placed a (small) orderā€¦sub $200.

lets see how it goes.

i tried calling todayā€¦but the phone was ā€œengagedā€ all day.

iā€™ll try some emails.
Paid via credit cardā€¦not paypal.

lets seeā€¦

a shame, he was a good vendorā€¦
Going broke is not an experience iā€™d wish on anyoneā€¦

@Watoom yeah unfortunately Iā€™ve had a lot of people with similar complaints about them.
Last order I placed was a few months ago and it took well over a week to dispatch. Made me feel pretty good about my shipping times even though I feel bad if I canā€™t get it away same or following business day.

Itā€™s a shame as they were very good for service at one point.

But that is the difference. You are trustworthy.

Even if having some business troubles it has to be no sale.

Iā€™ve been in that position before, hereā€™s my product, this is the market price. Youve got to pay to play then I follow through. Always.

Not exactly the same but rings true through business.

Some have tried to rip me off, ahh no that didnā€™t work out so well sent the freight train :rofl: :rofl: :v:

Well said good sir.
There are a few retailers I have on my black list. Worst of all recently I had to order from the two main offenders on said list as both were the only ones with parts I needed, and the parts were not something I could order from overseas either- otherwise I would have been happier to wait than give them a dime.

But, sometimes a manā€™s gotta do what a manā€™s gotta do!

I have been saying all year, support the businesses you believe in, as the seas ahead are definitely rough. There is a few I predict will weather the storm and come out on top. We will be left with only the best in the future at least, and they will likely end up with the failures stock remnants. Just how its gonna be.

341

Well said sir, I know it can get a bit rough at times.

Why I have a bit of a whinge on here occasionally with you good friends.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going :rofl: :rofl: :+1: Cheers you are a champ.

I was nearly going to roll up to @BME you want food here it comes haha B double
