I've never really bought anything for my car before online as im reletivly new to modding but i bought the carbonio induct kit for my mk 1 octy rs from awesome-gti.co.uk nearly 3 weeks ago and it still aint turned up, i rang them and they told me there having problems with customs. my question is simple: am i being taken for a mug and is the website trust worthy?

Awesome is a well known and respected company so I wouldn't worry. I've used them a couple of times and whilst the delivery has never been next day, I've never had a problem.

Thats reassuring, cheers fella.

Mine took a while to get to me also

It came in the end tho and well chuffed,will use them again

Dont worry too much tho you'll be getting it soon!!

Like the others have said they are a site sponsor and the site is all good

It will be worth the wait and you will love the noise

Yeh pardon the pun but they are awesome lol, Got my Milltek Exhaust, Carbonio CAI and Poly dog bone bushes from there no dramas

Hi

Sorry , I have just seen this

Mmm , we are having a couple of difficulties with customs

What is supposed to happen is , when an order gets to customs , we get a call or a letter saying that it is going to cost us £X amount

But sometimes , they send them back to the suppliers :( , then we have to go through it again

Been a bit of a mare , but as has been said on here , we are not going anywhere , no we dont take anyone for a mug (probably only me , as I work all the hours god sends ) :lol:

But they are worth it

I keep nagging , but Carbonio is not very good ayt listening

They are American.....

Sarah

American's say it all. Just to sa though Awesome are the nuts def reccommend:thumbup:

Steve

Oooh thank you Steve

Sarah

Kinda sick of waiting now like i must admit, but i feel assured im gonna eventually get it.

My Carbonio was supplied and fitted by Awesome GTI and they did a cracking job.

Trust me, it will be worth the wait.

Carbonio`s are in!!!!

I am going to help Andy today and try to get them all out today

But there are laods and loads so we will do our best for you guys

Sarah

this is in no way directed at Awesome (probably quite the opposite tbh) but just because a company is listed under the Briskoda Partners (is this the same as being a sponsor?) section doesn't mean everything's all good and things wont actually go tits up

Mmmm

I hear what you are saying on that and in fact I do agree

But I am here every day anyway and try to reply to all threads

I even answer non Awesome threads

So I suppose with this in mind , we will not do a runner quickly

In fact there are alot of members out there with my personal mobile phone number

So I can always help

Sarah

Yeah AwesomeSarah is awesome! Superb customer care. Others should take note.

On a bad note, someone has literally just smashed into my sisters Nissan Nevara on the M1 heading up to Huddersfield in this mental rain. Luckily she is OK, and being a tank the car is not too bad. But I just spoke to her and people are crashing around her, biker fell off as we spoke. Really not good. Avoid the M1 at all costs today guys.

Dont suppose you sell Nevara rear bumpers?!

Oooh bless

Thank you

By the sounds of it your sister is lucky

Travelling 150 miles per day , we see some really bad crashes

Glad she is OK though

Oh and sorry , no we dont do the Nissan bumpers

Hope she gets it sorted soon

like I said, totally not in your/Awesom's direction - it was just a coincidence that being a site sponsor making everything all good came up in a thread about buying something from Awesome.

I think the fact that you are here every day and take an active part in the forum rather than just answering posts in the Awesome thread or announcing new/shiney parts you guys have for sale says a lot

Hi

Oooh no , not having a go at all

I think all sponsers could do with taking an active roll , but then , I am a Skoda freak :lol:

Sarah

Agreed: What price personal respect and goodwill? Particularly the sort of goodwill that means people actively recommend you even over the other site sponsors.
