I can't see that item staying on eBay for very long. They won't take too kindly to people sl*gging off other eBay users on their site.

Agree with the above, you do get what you pay for.  I had a tent from Tentastic that was ok, but recently got another for more room.  The only thing i found about them is that they don't give out too much info on their tents, they only give the very basic.  Camping is all about learning, you soon realise who to buy from and who to avoid.

There's an old saying.'You have to pay to learn' and by god its true.
People who after reading those comments buy off that company deserve all they get.

Tentastic are a complete joke IMO!

I bought my first tent from them, the poles broke and I have only just received a refund from them when I bought the tent back in July (which by all accounts is pretty quick so I suppose I should count myself lucky)

Their customer service is appauling, email after email asking for the same information, then they don't reply for another few days sometimes asking for the same information that you have already given them in the previous email!  They are either complete morons or are very very disorganised or possibly both.....

I have now realised they were stalling for time so that you go past the 45 and 60 days that paypal and ebay say you have to contact them by.

If you don't get any joy within 2 weeks from Tentastic I would suggest complaining to paypal and ebay - don't leave it any longer as they can't help you then.  Ebay suggested I contacted the police as I was over their timeframe which I felt was a bit extreme....

My advice would be forget the fact that you think you might get a bargain off ebay and visit your local camping shop and actually see tents on display.

I thinks worth paying that bit extra for a decent tent from a local supplier.  At least you then have somewhere to visit if you have problems and dont have to rely on emails and phone calls - they cant ignore you if you are stood there in front of them!! Its peace of mind for us having Yeomans a 10 minute drive away.

I must have just been lucky - emailed customer services once, tent collected within a week and refund back in my paypal account a few days later.  Could it be that you get a better response if you start off with a polite request for a refund?  Certainly worked for me!!

I am another of the lucky ones, I bought a Rage Alta 6 from Tentastic and think it's fab.  It stood up to freak winds, hail, sleet & snow at Easter - the Outwell next to us caved in and the poor occupants had to sleep in their car.

We have camped in our tent several times with no problems at all!

Snap Elaine!!  I have a rage tent and its fab!  Its seen out driving rain, gale force winds and didn't leak once.  All around us tents were disappearing and our cheap £35 ebay tent stood firm.  I love my tent!!

Granted its not a patch on the montana that i also have - but it wasn't a patch on the price either!!

I have only been camping for 3 weekends and bought a Rage Bodo 3 tent from Tentastic and I am very happy with it .. no leaks and does exactly what it says on the packet, it does have a few marks on it but that is purely asthetic (sp?) Mabe I have just been lucky.
