UK buyers beware of Dabs Momo Force

I ordered a Momo 'Force' from Dabs last week, it arrived today and guess what? It's a Momo 'Racing'! Dabs site has a picture and description of a Momo 'Force'. I'll let you know what happens if they ever respond to my email. Has anyone else been sent the wrong wheel? dabs don't even list the 'Racing'. Mike

Its the same on www. ebuyer.com so I took it up with them as the part number they quoted was for the cheaper wheel. They said the descriptions etc came from Logitech or wholesalers, and insisted their description was not confusing. I thought it was, and your experience with Dabs confirms it. Later: Since writing the above I have looked at the Dabs site, and it gets even more complicated. The picture is indeed the Momo Force ("image for illustrative purposes only"), but the manufacturer's part number seems to be a mix of the two part numbers on the Logitech site: Logitech Momo Force 963260-0120 Logitech Momo Racing 963282-0120 Dabs Momo Force 963262-0120 (should it be 60- or 82- ?) At least ebuyer.com got the part number right. Confusing, isn't it? -- Bryn

Looking at www.savastore.com/products/?CsOp=15&code=10250079&pid=45&tid=8 they have the Force part number and are quoting �68.15! I guess they have it wrong also, if not I'll get it from them. The UK seems to be a bit short on stockists for the Force, unless anyone knows better? Mike

Good luck Mike My experience with Dabs put them firmly on my 'only touch with a grenade' list I doubt things have changed but I never dealt with them again. Craig " Mike Spence" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3e416af9$[email hidden]...

To be fair to Dabs this is the first problem I've had with them for quite a while. None of the online retailers are perfect, but Dabs are one of the better ones IMO. I reserve the right to change my mind in the near future. Mike

It's allready sold out in Norway, so you better get it while you can. Jone.

Just looked, and they have the *Racing* part number and use the word *Racing* in the description. No free lunches I'm afraid :) -- Bryn

You're absolutely right, it was this http://romulus2.computerprices.co.uk/hardware/pricemagnifier.asp?productid=2 70106 that had me thinking otherwise. Mike

I just got a MOMO from dare I say it PCworld for �89.99. Dabs are now selling it at �99.99 + shipping. Some Call Me Tim

I received a Force from DABS on Tuesday. It took about 3 weeks for them to come up with it... but it definitely looks exactly like the picture on their website :-)

Good, it seems like they have got their act together. It took them over a week to sort out the return and two weeks for the refund. I got one direct from Logitech while Dabs were messing about. Very happy with it. Dabs loss, the bits for my new PC came from elsewhere. Mike
