NVScopes Kent

[Goz]

Hi all,

Has any one had any dealings with NVScopes from Kent?

I was on ther website and saw that they were advertising 8 shot .17hmr Anschuzt magazines for £48. I jumped at this, as the 4 shot magazine is the only problem i have found with the Annie.

Its been 3 weeks since ive paid for the mag, i have made countless phone calls both to the office line and the owners mobile and left messages but have had no reply.

Is this normal for them? Has anyone had any dealings with this company?

If you paid by credit card I'd give the issuer a ring and cancel the payment. I have no knowledge of the business but can only surmise that their lack of response doesn't bode well.

If you trawl the internet, Clive Ward who runs NVscopes is famous for doing this sort of thing, it's even named him the nickname Lord Lucan on the Airgun BBS! he will probably get the mag to you eventually, and seeing as no-one else sells them you cant get it elsewhere! you wouldn't be the first person to cancel payments or do paypal cases against him though. good luck!

Frank dyke sells them but they ain't cheap.

I did the same, waited about the same, called a few times, each time I was told somebody would call me back later that day.
Nobody did, so I just reported the problem to Pay-Pal, money back in 20 hours, never heard from the company at all.

Spot on. I work for a bank (dont shoot me). Just ring your issuer and inform thm that you ahev not received the goods and no contact has been made. You are fully insured against rip off merchants such as this.

Clive ward strikes again he's just as helpful if you want to buy his n/v systems how he calls it a business god only knows.

Stevienicknacks- I don't think that Clive Ward falls into the category of rip-off merchant, he is just absolutely useless at getting back to people.
I once sent him an email asking loads of questions about night vision. I didn't get a reply for weeks and then got an email from him answering all my questions in great depth.
As has already been stated, he has a reputation for slow responses.
Good luck Goz- but don't hold your breath!

I've been emailing this clown for the last couple of months. Looking to spend big on nv and I haven't even received a phonecall. Just an email every week or so. Think I will look elsewhere.
Very unprofessional!

I am due 2 of the 8 shot magazines. I have been waiting 2 months. About a month ago I got an email saying the import had been delayed. I am now waiting for a response from my next chase up.

Guess I might be waiting a while.

No real point in calling as its a serviced line, ie answered by a non employee of the company so they can tell you nowt!

Ive just started my dispute with Paypal, so should get my money back soon.

How frustrating that someone can ignore his customers like this.

Frank dyke sells them but they ain't cheap.

Cheers for that, will give them a bell. worth paying more for less grief i think.

Just communicated with him on Tuesday by E mail - said delay (3 days) was due to his father being in hospital and goods arrived today !

I got my 2 mags in the 2 weeks as last promised too. Fine kit though

This is from another thread on SD...that I posted, people really should know about this thieving joker:

I bought one of these 8 shot mags from the website
I received no confirmation of order, so phoned up about a week later to make sure the order was ok but I got one of those girls who works as an outsourced receptionist ( i'm pretty sure) who could not confirm order and was told someone would get back to me. No one did.
3 days later another phone call...same response, same lack of response....
over the next 3 weeks exactly the same process about every 3 days but with emails as well ...no response by phone or email.
Getting thoroughly p****** off now...start a dispute against the company with Paypal to get my hard-earned back. Funnily enough it arrived 2 days later!

It is so easy to send a mail saying the lead is 4 weeks or whatever excuse...really rubbish service but I do have to say that the product is great and deals with the only issue that I had with the rifle, which I love.
Would I buy anything from this company again=NO WAY!

This guy is seriously unprofessional, you have been warned...however when he thinks he cant get free money and a charge back is on its way to him, he will eventually send product...two bob website, two bob "director"....Shootingduckdog the only way to deal with scum like this is to actually cost them and then they come snivelling up with the goods....good luck Mate
