Avon Motorcycles Bristol

[Bikermice]

Anyone had any dealings with this company? It could just be a one-off, but I've had nothing but trouble with them since November when I ordered some parts.

They said they'd dispatch the new parts in time for my next MOT, but when I chased them later they said "sorry, they're not in stock", hence I had to bodge up what was broken with tape and luckily it passed. Then they sent me the wrong parts, and when I returned them they only offered me a refund minus 15% "re-stocking fee", and minus another £12 for postage, even though I paid for the return postage. Cheeky feckers. To date they have not refunded me at all, despite me chasing them since December.

I like this review of them www.avonmotorcyclesbristol.co.uk/

So what did you buy off of them?

How did you pay? There are minimum limits on both the credit and debit card chargeback schemes, but you don't ask, you don't get.

You'll likely find the first three people that you speak to at your bank or card issues will deny knowledge or permission, but stick with it. It's going to be easier than the other route, which is Letter Before Action and a small claim.

I also like that review of Avon Motorcycles Bristol at https://www.avonmotorcyclesbristol.co.uk and wish it good luck in moving up the search rankings.

if you've paid with a credit card, you should be covered by section 75.

Worth a try?

section 75 indeed, but only if the order was over £12, and i believe as per distance selling regs they would be obliged to refund you (if returned in the correct time) and as part of this (i believe last year it was identified that they MUST even refund you the delivery charge) and as per restocking fee. tell them to sling it give you your money, or take action.

So is it safer to buy with credit card when I let's say go into a shop and buy it there or does the section 75 apply only when you buy online or over the phone?

I'll be paying by cash.. but I may as well pay by credit card. Whichever is safer.

That Avon Motorcycles Bristol reminds me a bit the Midlands Superbikes type of business.

Section 75 applies to all credit card purchases, between £100-£30,000.

Technically, you can pay a £10 deposit on you cc for, say, a 5k bike, and the rest in magical paper with queeny's face and be covered for the full 5k under section 75. You might have to fight your cause in cases like that though.

You have better protection with credit cards with section 75 than you do with debit cards and their chargeback scheme. For one, section 75 is law, chargeback isn't.

Oh, I'm no expert, it's always worth doing your own homework to make sure!

I looked on the Avon website... Instantly know they are cheap cunts and would avoid like the plague, and I'm talking the official site not the warning one.
