Good evening

I want to warn you all with this email for the practices of ian Cows and Equipt-direct.co.uk,2 month’s ago I ordered on there website,

a shurflo pump with varistream controller and paid via the bank almost immediately I had made my payment by PayPal I wished I had wait a little while with my payment  because as it turns out, Mr. Ian Cows is a swindler first class..

he cleaned out his bank account with PayPal was ransacked almost immediately after my payment so PayPal could not recover, my money only a small bit, so small a £ 31 and not the amount of 240 GBP so people beware what you buy or  ordered from equip-direct.co.uk is a swindler, I send  several emails and made several phone calls , each time a different answer and promises, I send a check or my PayPal account I will add some money to my account.. but nothing of it all, it's just a crook!! people I go this summer vacation to the UK and will visit this  gentleman personally, because Its not over yet its over when I have a complete refund of my money.

So this is my story sorry for my poor English because its no my native language.

I just wants to warn you all everybody who receives his newsletter  will receive this email.

 

Please read it and be careful if you buy anything from those swindlers.

 

Best regard’s  Ron a Very disappointed customer from the Netherlands






A bit strange? The guy must feel mega frustated to go to these lengths?? wintecs for me i think

The e-mails were ripped from various cleaning forums I'd guess,.. equip-direct would never hand them out.

I think that this is a bit unfair guys the guy in Holland has been refunded in full and was out of Ian's control
for what happened . To be honest his business is quite new and we all have teething problem don't we but the
fact that Ian had ordered things in that never arrived did not help any matters .Its not fair to judge him for something
that HAS BEEN put right so give him a chance I am sure 100% that he will help anyone and not swindle them >:( >:(

As most people on here got the email I would not of posted it . All you have is one side of the story and I am surprised that it has been left on. I thought a Mod would of removed it

I haven't ordered much off equip-direct,. but what I have was delivered quickly and was exactly what I wanted,..
I think the author of that e-mail could have left himself open to legal action for libel & defamation of character,.. I understand his frustration, but that e-mail was defo NOT the way to go about resolving the issue.

I was told by Ian that it was sent straight away but sadly to the wrong address but if you want to check
with matey in Holland you will see that all is ok

so why send the email? if it was sent to the wrong address, which i doubt is true, surely he would of got it to the right address quickly and there would have been no problem...and no email?

another thing, if the money was taken by paypal, he couldve just sent the money straight back via paypal instead of clearing his bank account out?

this seems very suss to me, i also know someone else who's been messed about here with money and an order

the leason learned here is go with what you know and use repeatable people/companys

I think it probably said it all when he said he had no more connection with the company. Maybe he could see the ship was going down ???

I had the same email and when the email was posted on here I sent a copy of it to Equipment Direct for him to see and coment on ( to save his good name ) as yet he has not replied to my email even thanking me for making him aware of what is going on, or replied on the forum

I have not recieved this email but i am all for naming and shaming suppliers if needed i remember when matt had his association with this company he worked really hard but has not been involved with them for over 3 months.

Matt LWC, ive had many dealings with him ive found him to be honest very helpful and hes gone well out of his way to help me with my business several times, hes always there for me if i need any help

i had bought quite a few things from matt when he was a rep with equip-direct, and i got everything on time, plus a good discount, he was very helpfull, and went out of his way to source what ever you wanted,
i can say nothing but good about him, all he did was try and promote the company, and make some commision while he was with them, is it his fault the company mess up, he just past the orders on to them by phone and emails, so come on folks dont blame matt or bring him into this, o i have never met matt before, just ordering supplies by email, and     his service was good, rant over
