Hi Waynem41

To UKCS

I have just had a look at the item you have bought - all I would say is don't leave your feedback straightway.  You get 90 days to do this - use the time to thoroughly inspect your tent for taped seams - damages etc;  Erect the tent and see if it looks ok and there are no abnormalities with the shape - bedroom pods pulling too much on its straps etc;  Give the tent a good hosing over to simulate rain and check for leakages.

If you find small leakages make a note of where they are and when dry apply seam sealer available from all good tent and outdoor stockists.

Once you are entirely happy then leave your feedback.

I have heard of several people leaving feedback cos the tent arrived really quickly etc; and when the tent came to be used it was damaged, leaking badly etc;

Best of Luck and I hope it turns out to be a good tent for you.

I hope the seller gets back to you

As you say you would not expect that in a new tent and you should not have to unless it was mentioned in the article description - of which I am sure no-one in the right mind would buy

I would not however repair the damage yourself and dont tell the seller that you are prepared to repair it yourself as this will be his quick fix and still be quids in

Hope you get a satisfactory outcome

Had a look at your pics in gallery Wayne, and I must say that I feel you should demand a full refund from the seller. That tent is not fit for the purpose which it is sold for. How dare they supply a tent with holes in it?  An' the holes are just the obvious faults - how many more faults will you find with this tent when you try it out for real?

Don't fix it yourself, push for a refund. If they refuse, then open up a 'dispute' & report them to ebay.
