Fastbuggies reviews

I buy extensively on the web for my business and have a lot of experience with a substantial number of very satisfactory traders.
My experience with fastbuggies.co.uk has been extremely unsatisfactory; they are by far and away the worst company I have ever dealt with for anything.
The webchat doesn't work
The telephone is not answered
There is no trading address
There is no documentation ie no order acknowledgement, no VAT invoice (HMRC note), no delivery document
and for a very long time no product either.
All the above well out of line with the Sale of Goods Act.
The delivery firm are not allowed to take a product back if you refuse to accept because the packaging has disintegrated or parts are missing.
You have to sign an unheaded delivery receipt (you don't even know who is delivering) and you don't get a copy.
My Child's Tiger Quad ordered in mid-August, promised for early September, damaged in the container, delayed in shipping, delayed in Customs, delayed and delayed eventually turned up at the end of November( that makes me one of the lucky ones to actually get something after constant emailing and complaining).
It was missing the handlebar clamps and bolts, the battery charger casing was damaged and it was the wrong colour. I persevered, sorted my own handlebar clamps out and on day one of trying to use it the drive mechanism disintegrated and seized up. Happy birthday grandson!
My request for documentation, trading address, refund under the Sale of Goods act was totally ignored; just a response asking for photographs of the buggy.
If this is the experience you want, then go ahead and jump into the snake pit.
If they asked me for my credit card details to arrange a refund, I wouldn't give them; that's how much I distrust them. You cannot believe a word they say. Not a word.

ordered kids quad 26 oct 09 where full payment has been payed. one delivery date was given in nov, this then didnt arrive. then given another date for 4 th dec 09, through out this time we had contact, still NOW waitin delivery for our sons xmas box. date given before 18th dec, we have phone & emailed them numerous times no response. we find this disgusting not only have not got delivery but not even put in picture wot is happening. if no response soon legal action will be taken & watchdog will be informed.i if you can't deliver then a refund asap, so we can buy from a company that will! p.s we know fastbuggies read these reviews.

I met David Misfud hes a half chinease German Prick 1 year a ago we bought 10 quads off of them and he used to answer the phone himself at the time and had a small German outlet because I run a transport company we picked the bikes up our self. I had no problems then apart from one of the bikes was $#*! and got returned. This year i bought 10 more to sell on for christmas now it looks like i won't get them I sent someone to their old place in germany but there not there any more seems Davids moved back to china!!!!!!!!!!

Any one still living in hope of recieving goods please don't just try to get a refund they have with out a doubt gone pop anyone with quads on container nine this has today been sold to a french guy and is going to be re-shipped the other two containers are likely to go the same way so their is no chance despite david misfuds email saying they are still going to try and deliver the only semi honest thing that he has said is he has put lots of money in mostly ours though .
i like the way he calls him self the managing director he is in no way shape or form a director for one a company that is paid for goods in full and then lets all of these customers down and then finds himself getting lots of cancelations and having to refund then finds himself not having the req capital to purchase the remainng part of the containers and pay duty is not the actions of director .
Can i make a suggestion david in your next foray in buisness i would suggest you buy a broom and start your learnig curve in buisness again better still i am looking to fill a position in my company for a customer care junior maybe you could learn something the only problem is i do profile all my candidates and i already no with out meeting you how yours would come out .PLEASE PLEASE everyone contact your credit card company . sorry guys i forgot to say my post are being given not by me but by my dad jason b some how his review area has froze all i am doing is typing for him as he is dictating

Hi everyone take caution with this site if it seems to good to be true it usually is! ordered childs quad bike in september for xmas present still had not arrived by december 10th think it is a scam BEWARE!!!

I placed an orde for a black XT 650 in February 2009, was informed on confirmation of order that i would receive confirmation of delivery within 48hrs, no responce after a week recontacted fast buggies and was then advised approx 6weeks.
After 5 weeks of chasing updates was advised that the buggy had been damaged at port and that a compensation of £150.00 would be given and they would now fast track another.
After several weeks again chasing and unfullfilled promises i was then e-mailed advising that due to the delays in supplying and delivering they had cancelled the order and arranged for my funds to be refunded, i was annoyed that they had refunded my payment without contacting me verbally and explaining why.
I was advised eventually that they would re-contact me to re-purchase when this buggy was available for emmediate delivery.
Again after several weeks of contact via phone calls and emails we received a call from Alex asking if we still wanted a XT650 has it was now available for delivery.
Again payment was arranged minus the £150 compensation which sort of put my confidence in dealing with this company as they had previously refinded and kept the promise as regards the compensation.
4 weeks ago was advised that the Buggie was due in at felixstowe late one friday evening and would have to be scanned via customs and was issued with the contact no for XRL8 (Couriers) whom they said would be able to address any delivery queries.
After several daily contacts with XRL8 i was being informed that they wa still awaiting confirmation of shipment, eventually i was advised by XRL8 that the Buggie was due in 3 weeks ago and issued with ship name.
Called the port who could not identify thde ship named.
Again called Fast Buggies and was now informed that the shipment and container had arrived and awiting clearing by customs and had arranged for the necessary payment import duites and VAT to be paid and would be a further week before it would be released.
2 weeks ago contacted fastbuggies and XRL8 asking for updates and then told that item had been cleared and the necessary duties had been paid and now just waiting for release of item via China.
Since the last e-mail 2 weeks ago we have sent various e-mails and tried to contact fast buggies by phone, left various messages on answerphone requesting action and todate still not had any communication.
Today i have called XRl8 who have advised that they will no longer deal with fast buggies as they have been messed about that much are inundated with delivery enquiries relating to fast buggies.
I have revisted one of there websites which is still permitting advanced orders to be taken and on another website the message as follows has been placed:

Dear all customers

Fastbuggies is no longer taking any new orders. Due to delays on our shipments Fastbuggies will now concentrate on completing all outstanding orders
by delivering or refunding the payment made. If you have an outstanding order you will be e-mailed in the next 4 days with full details of either the delivery or the refund.

Thank you for visiting Fastbuggies

David Misfud

Fastbuggies
Managing Director
Germany

Very dissatisfied customer and very let down by the total shambles of this company and the lies they have been telling.
Also on the website in which the above notice has been placed why has David Misfud (Manging Director) of fast buggies not issued is details of contact.

Not a bad earner in taking orders, banking money, not delivering items and then refunding, very easy way to gain interest at everybody else's expence

As website advises all previous orders delivery will be arranged or refunded within next 4 days - if not then will submit claim.

Would not have been a bad company if they had been honest throught.

AVOID - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Since my posting and the statement on fastbuggies webpage which advised the the managing director would contact by e-mail - I have had no e-mail nor any letter from this company or director.

I keep on sending e-mails and leaving messages on the companies so called voice mail and yet again still no responce.
Looking very doubtfull that this company will honour it's comments as regards informing all customers.
This company should not have taken orders forn items that they cannot supply in the time frame issued.

As some reports show that some customers have had a responce from this so called director it makes one think these are not genuine.
I aint bothered about this David ? who has allegedly put money into company to attempt to complete all orders and if the company had been properly managed then nobody would be in the position they are in.

What is your bets that nobody gets the letter and contact details for this guy as i feel we will all be left to hang out and dry.

If i do not get any responce from this David, withijn the 10 day time frame (Only 4 days left) will start legal proceedings

29/12/09
Called XRL8 (Couriers) and spoke to Richard to check if he had any update and the ststus of any further buggies and have now been told that the container my buggy was in has now been sold to a French Guy.

Now in process of seeking legal advise - how can this company sell an item i have paid for to someone else - This is simply FRAUD

Searching through other peoples comments i have sent e-mails to the following addresses asking what the hell is going on.
alexcooperfast@live.co.uk or alexcooper10001@live.co.uk

Not expecting a reply but thought i would try, have notified trading standards etc which everybody who have been conned by this website and managers should also do - one can only hope that we meet these B******* who are disgrace to the human society and kick the F*** out of em

MESSAGE TO EVERYONE READING

I ordered a quad from this lot and made a chargeback and got my money back through my bank.

There is another scam going on there is someone called Gordon from a company called www.quads4kids.co.uk who made a post asking people to contact him. They are part of the scam I have seen it before one web site does not deliver and then another one pretends to help and takes your payment again because you still want the item so they end up with 2 payments and you end up with one item. BIG WARNING TO EVERYONE watch out for this www.quads4kids.co.uk company i think them and fast buggies are the same. I am reporting Quads4kids.co.uk to watchdog and I I suggest everyone does the same. Make sure you do not get scammed again by Gordon

I will be putting warning message about quads 4 kids on as many sites as possible as i think its fast buggies new company

i would warn any body who is considering buying a quad bike,not to buy it from fastbuggies.
the quad we ordered was about 8 weeks late due to an assortment of delays and excuses,when the quad did arrive it was not at all as advertised and broke down on it`s first outing.
fastbuggies did promise us some compensation,which we did accept,
however,after 7 months we are still waiting for our compensation and they now don't even bother to reply to my e-mails.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE - AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. They are useless. I ordered a quad back in September with a delivery date in October. The date came and went with no word from Fastbuggies. They NEVER answer the telephone advertised on their site. NEVER. It just rings and rings and rings. They eventually emailed me back to tell me that there had been a delay and that they would contact me when the order was ready. They never contacted me without numerous emails from me first. I gave them THREE contact telephone numbers and they NEVER called me once. They sent me FOUR emails saying the delivery driver would contact me within 48 hours. The delivery driver NEVER contacted me - I contacted him. They offered my £35 compensation which I accepted and they said this would be credited back to my credit card when I signed for the goods. To this day I have not recieved a penny. The quad is faulty. One of the wheels simply does not fit on the shaft and I will have to get it lathed (sp?) to rectify the problem - I asked fastbuggies to pay for this and with much arguing they agreed to credit my card with £40 to cover the costs and SUPRISE SUPRISE they have not done this. SO... I have a quad which is as good as useless and I have asked for a full refund and they are now ignoring me totally. I am sending a letter to Trading Standards along with copies of all the emails they have sent me promising me the earth and not delivering. I am also in contact with my credit card co to see what they can do. I will make it my lifes work to discredit fastbuggies. They are quite seriously the worst company I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with.

Ordered Full size Quad from Alex Cooper fastbuggies sales Aug19 2009 .Moneytakenfrom debit card £1119.20.Delivery date 18th Sept . Still waiting despite numerous e;mails and broken promises and excuses. Last e;mail promises delivery 18th Dec. But today checked with courier he states "no loger dealing with fastbuggies ".Have sent details to European consumer centre as Fastbuggies head office is in Germany.sO NO QUAD NO MONEY. BAH HUMBUG!

i ordered 2 mini pit bikesd from these con artists 3 month ago they have promised the world to me and not delivered they even told me they were based in germany bollocks.they don't return e mails phone calls and if you try to talk on live caht they just leave the conversation.i have never come across such a blatant disregad for customer care in my life stay well clear

I have also had the worst ever experience with this company. I like so many others placed an order in good faith. I ordered in October and have tried since then to contact them. On the rare occasions they did pick up I was promised delivery dates that never happened. I was given he same excuses of shipping and breakages. I was also told of compensation that never came. I requested a refund and that has happened either. This was my little boys Christmas present. This company is destroying peoples lives. I can't believe they are still managing to trade!!!! I can't belive that these lying individuals can sleep at night and I truly hope they get whats coming too them. Don't ever buy from them and don't ever believe them!!! Contact your card company as soon as possible if you have been fooled by them too! Contacting trading standards. Feel so sorry for everyone who is in the same boat as me.

like everyone else i have been ripped off too,
bit one thing i hope that fastbuggies goes bust and that lying tramp alex loses not just his job but a bit more as i think he is nothing but a lying bast@rd, i don't normaly like to see people having a bad time but i would gladly give up hope of getting my 400 quid back if that @rsehole gets hurt bad.
i would also ask all people to try their best if they can and have the time to claim money back through their card insurance, trading standards, cyberbit (the card processing company fastbuggies use), and anything else that would give that tosser alex hassle,

ALEX COOPER AND DAVID MISFUD, CONGRATULATIONS BOTH OF YOU HAVE BEEN AWARDED BY ME AS THE BIGGEST W@NKERS OF 2009,
CONGRATULATIONS

"SLOWBUGGIES" "NO-BUGGIES"

SCAMMING LYING THIEVING FRAUDSTERS!!! STAY WELL AWAY FROM THIS WEBSITE !!!

GO TO http://www.cyberbit.eu/callme.php NOW FOR YOUR OVERDUE REFUND!!!!

IF YOU HAVE NOT CANCELLED YOUR ORDER YET, DO SO NOW, YOU WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR EVER ON YOUR PRODUCT AND IT WILL PROBABLY NEVER ARRIVE, AND IF IT DOES, IT'LL BE THE WRONG ONE OR IT'LL BE CRAP ANYWAY.

Had my worst ever online shopping experience with this joke of a "company".
As they've done to everyone else, they quoted 2 week delivery time, then when I handed over my hard earned cash they changed this to 2 MONTHS waiting time!
As expected, EVEN AFTER 2 MONTHS, no delivery took place! they said it would be another 7 days, then 14 days and still the bike never arrived. They told constant lies about it being stuck at customs, with the courier etc etc. They also offered a part refund which never happened either, surprise! surprise!
After about 4/5 broken promises I decided to opt for the full refund they kept offering via email, if i felt i couldnt wait any longer.
They said the refund would take 7-14 days, but surprise surprise it didn't happen.

The good news is that I got my money back today! but to do this i had to contact CYBERBIT (LINK IS ABOVE), the company who process their online card payments, they were great! i left a message on their website for them to call me and they did so the next day, and they had my money back in my account in around 48 hours. THIS WAS 23 DAYS AFTER I REQUESTED THE REFUND AND CYBERBIT TOLD ME THAT FASTBUGGIES HAD MADE NO ATTEMPT TO ISSUE A REFUND!!!

SO IF YOU ARE OVERDUE A REFUND FROM FASTBUGGIES, HERE'S MY ADVICE:

1. CONTACT CYBERBIT ON THE LINK ABOVE,(they will process the refund)
2. CONTACT YOUR BANK'S FRAUD TEAM
3 CONTACT TRADING STANDARDS
4 CONTACT BBC WATCHDOG
5 POST A REVIEW ON HERE TO STOP EVERYONE ELSE FROM LINING THE POCKETS OF THESE W***ERS.

I recommend that everyone who is waiting on Xmas deliveries to put your refund request in now and sort something else out for your kids, no way would i put my faith in this awful company.

i don't think this company are based in the UK , there is no UK address listed on their website.. THEY CAN'T EVEN SPELL PROPERLY ON THE EMAILS THEY SEND.

They rarely answer the phone and when they do, it's a very poor line as if they are abroad!

Also, I thought you might be interested that I found out a few things about this company from a reliable source:

1, They have over 100 complaints to Trading Standards in the UK.
2, They are not paying VAT and are being investigated by the Police.
3, Their German address listed on their website doesn't exist.

I ordered a buggy £650 CC in June 2008 yes june 2008 and I have not received it yet . I asked for a refund and guess what I have not reveived that either. FASTBUGGIES are just a bunch of $#*!ing cowboys. I have After numerous emails in one and half years not got any joy whatsoever. I am now chasing them through the German authorities seen that TRADING STANDARDS are also a bunch of wankers. The say they can't do anything as the company is based abroad.
The only helpfull hand in all this mess has been Gordon from Quadsforkids. I just kicking myself now for not going with them in the first place. Gordon tried to help me get my quad back and we both worked on it for a few months but invane. Its a shame for honest people like him. I could have bought my buggy from him and saved myself all this trouble. I am not going to let go though. I will track the bastards down. If anyone has any info please let me know.
