Hi,
I have purchased one hull off Orion and found that they are well made and the service is first class even to out here in Australia.
If a hull can survive that trip they are a good hull.
I would have no hesitation in buying from Orion again.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with this wana b ordered a hull paid it to date never arrived the company was so rude and even suggested that I had the hull and after ebay refunded me they say that I have received the item by deception .DONT waste your money
-
I would be keen on some more feedback as there are two hulls that I would be interested in.
Thanks

Don't fall into the trap of criticizing a reasonable manufacturer for the faults of a poor carrier. Beware "Royal Mail"
Regards Ian.

Sometimes the saving of £1.10 to get a parcel registered is a false economy. Failing that the vendor should always get a certificate of posting.
-
Is this, I wonder, the outcome of the carrier reporting to the vendor that, rightly
or wrongly, the item was delivered and the vendor having had problems in the past
of claims of non delivery. The Vendor can only believe the carrier if they furnish some sort of
proof of delivery.
The vendor has to bear the cost of production, packaging and carriage and then has to
reimburse ebay/paypal ending up way out of pocket through no fault of his own
Enough to make anyone peeved.

yes i agree

Recently, I bought a used model boat from a guy via Ebay. He sent me a message to say it had been sent by courier (name withheld). I did not receive it and contacted him. He supplied me with the date and time it had been delivered and the name of who had signed for it, details supplied by the courier by email which he copied to me.
I had asked for the parcel to be sent to my business to ensure that there was someone around to receive it, but there was no one of that name working in the firm or any of the adjacent businesses. The sender said he would query it with the couriers. Two days later, I was outside the garage talking to a customer when up draws a couriers van, out gets the driver and gives me the boat. When I asked how come this had been delivered and signed for previously, I got no answer, he just dived back in the van and drove off.
I had wondered about the seller, but he turned out to be perfectly honest and above board, the couriers are another matter. This is the second time they have pulled a stunt like this on me , which does speak well of a major national name in their industry
-
i have had this happen to me my gripe wasn't about never receiving my item as I got a refund from eBay my gripe is that the way I was tret with threts and down rite abuse in the form of e mail that I have saved and forwarded to the appropriate authority's

True, there is never any need for rudeness or worse.
