They were technically telling the truth. They didn't specify which Friday😁😁

Few guys on the syndicate have experienced this mate. Spent over a grand with this firm, told 8 weeks waiting, 7 months later and nothing. Emails going unanswered and apparently the owner gets funny when you ask for an update on where your gear is that you have paid upfront for. Something isn't right there. Personally I'll be driving to Crawley for a chat and my money back.

Let's hope that firm don't fold as plenty of blokes that have parted with their hard earned won't get **** all back.

Apparently they have the neck to attend the shows still flogging gear blagging waiting times.

Wouldn't touch em with a barge pole.

Said it before - if this co has zero credit rating / poor credit terms with its suppliers and can only order with upfront payments then your going to be waiting / in a que - nothing wrong with that in theory on the proviso that they communicate properly and are transparent with their terms . . . if not this is a red flag and I'd go nowhere near . . .

I stupidly put an order in with Global a month ago. I thought they were the better out of the two companies. But seems not. Think I'll just cut my loss and try cancel.

How long ago did you order?

Facebook is full of people who have been waiting months.

dont believe everything you read on Facebook and as you have only been waiting 4 weeks and it clearly states takes 8 weeks to fill

a lot of people post why is there an 8 week wait for motors ? when you can get one from aliexpress in 14 days ??

well that because the motors used by Global are NOT THE SAME they are a higher spec with all metal gears as they have to give a warrantee so they buy a better spec motor they wont have to replace

I've had the wheel about 2 weeks now so about 10 weeks ago. It's quality so easy to put together and powerful.

Hmm. We will see. There are plenty of people saying they have waited for months and months, seems very little reason that people would be posting that for no reason? The last thing Global has posted was saying their server had been down and they have had a backlog of 4000 emails to get through. Which doesn't dound good at all.

I don't understand derstand why people stick up for these shoddy companies. They treat their customers like absolute dirt.

LMFAO
mate facebook is full of fake profiles multiple accounts often sparked by competitors slagging off the competition or people that just dont like the company

a classic example that I think most people are aware of on here a guy really slagged off a certain bait saying it was rubbish etc

not knowing its only sold by the man /genius that makes it by mail order and the seller keeps good records and knew he had never bought any !!!!

I TAKE IT AS A RULE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS 50% FACTS 50% UTTER BOLLOX
