Payment before delivery

[Tex]

Excuse me. What is wrong with our country? Please tell me.

He's also based on Northern Ireland.

I'd also state that Alexander Mills is about as decent and genuine a man as you could find. Think I'd trust him before literally every poster in this thread.

Maybe he should come on here to start up a thread on whether or not it is safe to export a tractor to England, to a new customer he has never heard of before, without any form of payment in advance? Wonder what the response would be?

"It's going to an Englishman, get paid in full up front"

Perhaps?

Hi, seen a grand wee tractor we need for our small holding a hours drive away in the tractor. Iv seen a tractor online and the dealership is demanding payment before delivery. Was just wondering what people’s thoughts were. It isn’t local

If you want ultimate piece of mind you had to make the effort & go & see this & check it over before you hand a penny over.
Iam sure the business is 110% genuine like folks have said but for your own happiness afterwards just go & see it & the place meet the folks
i learnt the hard way. thats all iam saying.

As above 100 % firm, and (quite frankly) the English have a few rogue dealers there.

Mills are a very STRAIGHT and decent firm to deal with. The sell stuff all over Ireland north and south . Bought many items off them over the years and the always stand on if their are issues . Nothing to be afraid of here its not a certain Q uite Friendly oufit from York we are talking about

Let's be straight.

One idiot made a unnecessarily sh!t remark about Ireland.
As far as I know, everyone else is simply commenting on the possible issues of buying something unseen and/ or paying upfront, wherever it may be.

There are see you next Tuesday's everywhere but we shouldn't lose faith in the vast majority who are pretty bloody good.

If you really want to be sure the tractor exists etc arrange the haulier yourself, when driver arrives and has seen the tractor then transfer the money

 

[yin ewe]

I'd look for something suitable closer to home as a fair % of second hand sold in NI comes from that side of the burn in the first place.

You can't beat buying local.........but what if he's in a livestock region ? No one wants to buy a tractor that's fallen in a slurry lagoon....
I paid upfront for a S/H tractor from a " reputable " dealer in southern England once. They dragged their feet and it wasn't delivered for over 3 weeks. I have to say, I felt very uncomfortable. Many sleepless nights. Next time I'd organise my own transport I think.

The firm are obviously fine. Just make sure you are actually sending them the money and not the Cayman Islands.
There are ferries from Stranraer. You are in Dumfries &Galloway already. They sometimes do day tickets for £5. Sail 7-30, back at 5. See tractor, transfer money, sleep easy.

Only issue is backup from that distance if something wrong when you drive it for a week.

Buy it on finance with an agreement which doesn't have an extra early settlement charge - then settle after it's delivered.

You will find Alexander Mills to be 100% genuine. Frankly they haven't time for fannying about, have had numerous deals with them and hope to have many more, they would be one of the if not the biggest machinery dealers in Northern Ireland. Arrived at it one time just as they were closing for lunch (guy was turning the key in the door with his lunchbox under his arm), asked me had I come far, 40 miles I said, well in that case what can I get you and opened up again, good firm.

Yep, send a £1 deposit to their account details with the vehicle reg number as reference, then when they have acknowledged the payment you know the details SHOULD be correct.

Alexander mills himself said he had a time where people got his pictures from his website and put the pictures on another website and tried to sell it as theirs

Yes still waiting on it coming. Trusted the opinions on here and took a leap of faith in humanity never seen myself buying something before being delivered from An unknown dealer let alone a different country

Best of luck with the new machine. Good outfit to deal with.

Don't fret, they are straight as a die.
