I thought I would post a warning about blue sapphire and also show some pics of the vivs he shoddily made me.
I heard through word of mouth that someone was making vivs to order and doing it cheap. So I contacted him and ordered 2x6 foot by 23", he asked for the full amount of money up front but due to me being scammed on here a few times I was cautious and so ofered him a £50 deposit and the rest on delivery which he was happy with.
We made arrangements for his dad to bring them up and I would pay him then, I was told a date then another and so on, I took time off work to be here when he arrived which in turn lost me money in wages.
He never gave me a contact number which I did ask for, the only commutation we had was via msn which I found odd but the guy seemed nice to deal with.
We eventually sorted some way to get the finished vivs to me. The reptile taxi was then to drop off the vivs and I was to pay them. Just before the rep taxi was due to pick up the vivs from him he informed me that he was going to get the rep taxi driver to have the glass cut for him, I thought hang on a min "hes had weeks to do this".
The vivs finally got to mine and I was shocked at the shoddy workmanship. The screw holes had'nt been pre drilled and so had split the wood in quite a few places and had used kitchen sealant which contains harmful fungicides and poisonous to animals.
When I saw them I said I wasnt paying for them.
Ditta the lady that drove around doing bluesapphires bidding was such a nice lady and offered her a cuppa which she greatfully accepted, I have also spoke to Cat via telephone trying to resolve the matter, they both are very nice ladies to deal with and I hope they get their money back.

Hopefully my Bike should be back on the road and i will try and give him a visit and try and get you your money..
Hes probably in bed crying now after his daddy's smacked his arse for being a bad Boy

Well It's not the first time he's messed someone around, usually a mention of a 'friend' knowing his address gets him to pay back whats owed.......... eventually.

I'm sorry to hear he's had you over too Hope you get it sorted.
