Has anyone received their order from Padraig? I placed an order with him on Sept 20, got an e-mail from him soon after that my order was to be shipped on Sept 23rd. It's been almost 6 weeks now and I still haven't received it. I've sent him 2 PM and an e-mail in the last 2 weeks and have gotten no reply from him. Anybody know what's going on with him?

Thanks,
Henry

I was the first person to order from him (Sept.20th) . I'm still waiting for my shipment conformation. I'm sure there is a logical explanation for the delays.

same here...

Was with the first to order,
Got an email somewhere by the end of september that my order would be shipped out next day.
Thats 5 weeks ago now. Havent heard anything from him since. No response to my e-mails and my PM's via this forum.

I'm sure there is a logical explanation, but it would be nice to get a reply to the e-mails/pm's WITH an explanation.

Sounds like a familiar conversation from this weekend...

I have opened a dispute with PayPal...

Sadly, I think its a scam.

Now that I know I'm not the only one (there would appear to be loads) in this situation, this is my experience to date on ordering the knobs:

22/9 13:08 Sent Padraig email asking for shipping price to UK
22/9 17:44 Confirmation of price received and assurance that product quality was excellent although he couldn't send me any other photos.
22/9 20:30 Money sent by Paypal
22/9 20:46 Separate email sent confirming Paypal payment
24/9 00:11 Email sent asking for confirmation that Paypal payment was received
24/9 10:43 Reply that he had the payment (nothing else)
13/10 09:31 Polite email sent asking for an update, at least a definite idea of shipping timescale.
18/10 17:48 Sent another email asking for a reply
20/10 13:18 Received email saying manufacturing was ongoing. Problems occured which were being sorted and that they would be sent "very soon".
21/10 08:34 Sent email thanking response, with a reminder to keep me up to date
21/10 12:58 Received email with a 10EUR coupon for his store. This store is still not live (as I type) and I don't think I'd want to spend any more money until I see something from my initial order.
04/11 11:49 Sent email pointing out why I'm now more than concerned by the experience


My biggest issue is this:
My order was placed on 22/9. On 23/9 Padraig stated that he would have to suspend orders for about a week. On 30/9 orders were being taken again, yet it would appear that the initial orders were still unfulfilled.

I could be wrong, but the image used in the advert would appear to be the same as that used by a similar 'offer' the year before last, which I also ordered. I did get my money back from that one, but it took a while - I never saw the knobs!

Padraig - I trust there are some genuine delays involved here and our concerns will all be eased. Communication would be nice, especially if timescales have slipped. As I mentioned in my last email, it isn't all that much money, but it was MY money.

Placed my order on September 30th... still no item, with the same explanations as described above. I am starting to smell a scam as well.

Has anyone recived these damm throttle handles, would hate to think there is a scammer in the flight sim comunity my last safe haven. Paid for these in October, quick response for payment, nothing since, as these are the first parts ordered for my project am not very happy. The real question is what do we do next. Would love to hear some ideas.

Guys,

I will attempt to contact him. There is obviously some sort of issue here, and with any luck we can help resolve it. I too am expecting a set, and just haven't made contact assuming that he has been busy.

Padraig, has been around for a long time, I doubt this is a scam, however I must admit it has been a long time. I was under the impression that people had received their throttle handles.

Lets see what happens.
