Peter Jordan Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Over a year ago I contracted Mr. Peter Blackham of 'Blackham Transfers' in North Wales to produce dry lining transfers for my 5 inch gauge Isle of Wight ‘O2’ but , after taking my money and a six months wait (the transfers were promised in three weeks) the transfers never materialised. I cancelled my order and although Mr. Blackham refunded my money promptly he made a number of untrue allegations against me. Mr. Blackham also failed to return a drawing that I had sent to him to assist with the production of the transfers. The issue has been in the hands of Gwynedd Trading Standards since October 2015, and they have finally managed to get me my drawing back. However, it seems that Mr. Blackham will not issue the written apology I requested, and it seems that Trading Standards have no power to compel him to do so. If anyone is thinking of getting bespoke dry transfers made, I urge you not to patronise Mr. Blackham’s business unless you want an unpleasant experience such as I have had. I seem to recall that some other folk said that they had had difficulty with his firm, and Gwynedd Trading Standards have said they would like to know about any further complaints. It would, therefore, be very useful if you could report such issues to them at : safmas@gwynedd.gov.uk It’s definitely a case of ‘Caveat emptor’ with this guy.

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted March 11, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2016 I fully support what the OP is saying. Several years ago I ordered some bespoke nameplates and paid for them. Despite many reminders and many promises of delivery, I never got my nameplates nor my money back. Avoid Blackham Transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
