May be first class if goods are OK.

Oh, the item in question............full checked and working 3 speed fan...............
Funny that. I had exactly the same problem with something from them. As I was trying to fix my front suspension I bought a second hand set of springs and shocks for the front just to see if it was indeed what was causing my issues. I had no intention of keeping them on the car but for £25 delivered for 2 complete units I figured it's a quick way to see if my shocks were faulty.

They were sold to me as in A1 condition as nearly new. When I received them and looked at them they were in terrible condition and the springs had rusted. They were really funny with me when I mentioned that they were in no way in A1 condition and the spring was bordering on dangerous. They then just stopped dealing with me.

Now I bought them with the intention of trying them on the car and then replacing them with new if it changed the noise and reselling them on. As they were in shocking condition I couldn't reply on this at all so I complained.

I got a paypal refund. I have since bought off them but I'd never buy anything thats mechanical. Just cosmetic stuff.
