I would say the fact that the website is down might be a bad sign as GTS is pretty much an internet based company, having said that he has had the
site go down before so don't start to panic just yet.

It is obvious that Flak Monkey has read all the books. The reality in business will follow.
Employing someone to answer the phone is a lot cheaper than paying a skilled man to do it.
Like most Small firms, it is obvious that GTS need a need a receptionist.

You are almost as bad as thunderbutt. I have 2 words for you, neither polite, but I shall refrain from saying what I want to as I will get in trouble
for saying what I think.
I simply cant be bothered anymore with quite a lot of the stupidity, snide/sarcastic comments and general bitchyness on here, either towards
individuals/companies trying to make a decent living or between users. Hence the reason why I no longer post on here very often.
I like to think that I have helped out a few people in the past (?), but offers of help will now only flow towards certain people. Yes its a bad
attitude, but I am sick of it.
As an aside the GTS site has been down before. Dont panic yet.

I have always found Flac a friendly and extremely helpful individual. I find it sad that certain people feel the need to have a dig at him. For some
reason he has had far more than his fair share of grief and all for no apparent reason that I can see or understand!
Quite sad really.

Why do people feel the need to have a go at Flak?????
He's a satisfied customer who is entitled to his opinion as the rest of us are.
We are all able to read the posts and decide where to spend our hard earned cash.
It does not have to descend into a slagging match each time a gts thread comes up.
sorry designer but a comment such as you've made here

It makes you look an insensitive tit.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Funny how people only believe in free speech when it agrees with them.

Nope, quite willing to back down if proved wrong, and have done before on several occasions. I'm just sick of the snide comments aimed, not just
at myself, but at other users too.
When I joined 4.5yrs ago this was a much nicer place to be. In that time several people have left the site because of the ignorance and twatishness of
certain other users, many of these people who have left have been valued members of the community, driven away by the ignorance and stupidity of
others.
I also get fed up with some of the really quite stupid 'engineering' based comments made by some users on a regular basis who blatently
dont have a bloody clue what they are going on about and are probably just posting because they have sod all else to do.
I recently started coming on here more regularly again to see if things had improved, looks like they havent. Like most on here I ask for nothing in
return for helping people out, infact I am only too happy to do so, but this is now limited to a certain few members. I think some forget the wealth
of knowledge available to them on this site from a core of users who have been there and done it.

To make rude or offensive comments is an abuse of free speech.
You say "A" I say "B" We agree to differ or one persuades the other - that's ok. But to insult me on the basis that you
dont agree with "B" is not free speech, it's just childish.
(in my opinion )

Good to see the website working, but should that reassure me when I haven't received goods, refund or even a response to my emails etc? Why
should it have to resort to either Trading Standards/Consumer Direct or legal action?

You'll get your stuff. How long have you been waiting? Its not unusual to wait 28 days for some bits.
I cant be bothered to type out the advice given so many times, have a look back through old posts. Call his mobile, might take a few attempts, but
you'll get through eventually. Make sure your numbers not withheld either.

Thanks for the pointers - needless to say it is somewhat longer than 28 days and it it also 2 weeks since I have even managed to get any reply. I
wouldn't have thought stone guards and a steering boss would have presented too much of a challange to them? I have read back through the posts
and even though there are comments for and against GTS, it doesn't make pleasant reading on a public forum regarding a company/individual.

Shiza....I hope the business is still running. There is 3500 worth of parts I ordered last september I am still waiting for. Someone spoke about the
28 day wait I am past the 28 week waiting. Anyway there is a good legal system in the UK so it's up to them, and it looks good so far,
especially when you have in writing "the parts will be there in 7 - 10 days"even when they are not !!
Cheers and happy driving...

Ok I have to jump in here...you probably won't get your stuff if you're far enough away...I've never recieved my order even after
repeated emails to Darren. After several months I talked to Ebay when I found him advertising there again under a new user account. He finally
returned my emails and promised to sort the order out, but only under the threat of being kicked off Ebay again, but ebay wouldn't pursue him
because more than 60 days lapsed since the transaction and lo and behold Darren diappeared again and I haven't heard from him in the last 4
months...I wouldn't count on getting what you ordered unless you can light a real fire under his a$$. It's been over a year now...still
think I'm getting what I ordered? If you have his ear or some secret advice, be civil , you can always pm me.
