Anyone know about Square Trade? Also Part 2

[G6dub]

Any one heard good or bad things about them?

I am looking at importing a dub but having it deleivered, so payment is a issue, this company they are suggesting to use, I have to pay 30% and the rest 10 days after delivery (which is a set inspection time) which sounds fair enough, but also still a risk and 30% of what I am spending is still a very big amount to loose.

So please let me know views etc...

isnt that 'fred elliot' the butcher from coro's secret traders club??

lol, sorry i couldnt resist!.

more seriously, i think you have to look into the full in's and out's, its taken my mate 2 months to find a rep/coasha firm to import him a jap toyota twin turb sup, too many tw@ts trying to make a fast buck and give you cr@p for your money if any thing at all!, hes just waiting for a manual one in the colour he wants and it will be on its way.......

good luck!!

When I worked there, we imported a fair few cars like..........

I have found the car I want, and the person is willing to ship, all that is sorted out, but it is just finding a safe way of exchanging the car & the money, he says he will be happy with this square trade company, I see it has a lot to do with e-bay but that is all I can really fine out.

Sorry Part 2 Questions

I here good and bad things about Western Union would use use them?

If I do I can do it through a local travel agents Going places or online, what would  you do?

I have read good and bad things but noone I know has used them

[*Dubby*]

Avoid Western Union tbh 

You could possibly do an international bank transfer thru your bank? May probably cost, but weighed against the cost of the car etc, worth it for peace of mind I would think

[redcarboy]

As far as i am aware Square trade are supposed to hold your payment in limbo until you tell them you are happy with the goods before the  payment is made...

Just make sure whichever you use you are legally covered incase it goes pear shaped,i would avoid using western union tbh it's not a particularly safe form of transaction ..

[G6dub]

ok yes the reason I was looking at wester union is the money goes in 24hrs were as my bank is 5 working days plus then 2 days for confirmation letter.
