brad merrick never again

if you think for 1 second that I am affiliated think again sunshine? so what if we joined 3 weeks apart does that make me affiliated, god haven't you got a complex LOL

I just added my 2 cents worth, that not all sellers whether you think there god or not and your main supply of parts is trustworthy why on earth would you have 2 items that r exactly the same listed as different finishers that in itself with the admission of changing the ads that eame day as the buyer shamed him is a confession in itself. If you want the so called near identical item would you not want it in the proper GMH paint as it stated on the site to suit your concourse GTR or XU1 , hence why I commented to say what I'd seen, I was on brads page earlier in the day looking at parts for my car that I am restoring and I actually viewed the swaybars and it stated painted, I would also like to ad that I most probably will buy off brad for some parts, I'm not slandering the guy but his story doesn't ad up  and I see a lot more people contributing also so get your facts right before throwing accusations of innocent bystanders seems there are a few not happy with brad also ( are they affiliated)

just want to share my experience with the above.ordered a sway-bar after reading his website and so you would expect to get what you read.first of all 2-3 weeks takes 7,oh well i can live with that.then after 7 weeks it finally turns up after $550 spent.well,where do i start? he advertisers that it is painted in the original gmh black paint,well mine turns up in bare metal,not linished-grind marks all over it.the end flanges look like a child had a go and supplied with nyloc nuts .for concourse parts i know they are not right.i am totally disgusted with it.looks like something made in a chinese backyard.makes out he is the best in australia,what a joke.i sent a e-mail complaining but as usual no response so another let down .hope no one else wastes their money buying crap.

Affiliated ? That isn't exactly what I was implying sunshine.

Of course your almost identical writing styles had nothing to do with my suspicions.

seriously mate I think your way off the mark but appreciate the compliment LOL

no I think your implying that I am the above poster which is total BS, and I certainly wouldn't apply for any investigative roles in your next employment venture

your basing this on the whole writing process full paragraphs etc LOL man you do have a complex go look at the rest of the post some of them are the same so do I have 4 accounts or 6 LOL. I also stated that I have never bought from brad nor know the guy who posted this above and then I stated that I am actually going to buy products off brad? yeah I'm playing u all LOLOLOLOL

This has nothing on the extractors and exhaust i received from a forum member and parted with 3 grand~ for.

Saying that, i have heard of this Brad guy all the way over here in W.A

WOW $3k for exhaust I'm assuming you we not happy?, ive heard a lot about brad also hence why I looked his site up, im just doing a price list atm to get some goodies but the wallet might not cover the cost LOL

Why Doesnt Stewart / Ian deal with Brad...... and sort this matter out outside of this thread.

It would appear now that there is no shortage of communication.

threads like this ruin the integrity of this forum in my oppinion

I have no opinion on this particular case however either way you would only be hurting yourself if you believed everything posted on the internet or a forum. But it sickens me the amount of dodgy businesses that I personally have dealt with and that experience imo needs to be discussed for the good of all consumers. The burden of proof is with the accuser and any defender has equal right of reply in its defence. Of course in the end if its going nowhere and just getting vindictive the MODS have to do their job.

My advice is always keep an open mind ...... however if you have no first hand experience but are repeatedly hearing negative reports, infeasible explanations over a period from various sources ........  then it has to raise alarm bells (Buyer Be Aware).

LXSS350 I couldn't agree more I'm sure we've all been burnt by some form of business within the car industry,

as for LXSS350 about keeping an open mind of course you do, ive gone off people saying this guy is great and got a $2200 clutch installed all for it to seize up and shit itself but he was the BEST I'm all for hearing about bad experiences cause it makes you more aware when dealing or not dealing with them

Is it just me or is this naming and shaming a touch unaustralian?
I understand there is a need for this in extreme circumstances ie fraud, theft etc..
But this looks to be a communication issue between supplier and customer which in my opinion does not warrant the above.
My 2 cents.

This guys spot on! Well said.

I agree with him and you 

Well Skap I must say that I never considered the always pleasant Lazarus to be suspicious of anything or anyone    

get over it ?

really sway bar not painted ? by all means let brad know ? he is a reasonable man i am sure it would of been resolved in-house ? and not on the on the forum ?

i have purchused many parts from brad and have found him very approachable  and good quality parts ,his time frame on delivery was also quite reasonable given i am restoring ? as for him not replying to phone/ emails i never had that problem ,i suppose its how you come across ???

Well Skap I must say that I never considered the always pleasant Lazarus to be suspicious of anything or anyone    

Help !!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm being attacked by whole armies of vicious sock puppets !!!!!!!!!!!!

Attacked.  Indeed not Lazarus. You remind me very much of so many friends I have in Queensland.

What is a sock puppet anyway ?   Everyday I get character references from this states most horrible criminals but never copped this one. I'm too old to be vicious these days too.

and I would like to see the Pictures of the Correct Sway-bar and fittings,

as that would form a part of the discussion.

Good luck in the outcome fella's. Dave I

Personally, Brad Merrick sounds like a decent sort of bloke to me.

it's funny when he says he is not making anymore exhausts and then a week later he is making them.
