NOT the place to ask for sintered Oilite bronze bearings

Bowman International Ltd UK Trust me this is one impossible company to deal with This is a review based on my own experience with this company It s a long story but I will try to make it very short I was looking to have some oilite bearings custom produced I had working prototypes for both the bearings and the motor shaft that was supposed to work with them I googled around and found Bowman International Ltd in the UK Seemed it was what I was looking for so I contacted them in mid-january 2013 and had a reply from Christian XX shortly after All very promising We discussed the situation the product details minimum order amount etc From mid-march 2013 Steve XX took over communications from Christian XX We agreed that I should send the working prototypes to him for evaluation measurements etc and I did so in late march During the next weeks we discussed tooling costs etc and I agreed to a production From then on I received nothing but excuses - I must have misplaced an email from you - I can t log on to our server etc Last word from the company was in mid-august when Steve XX said he would FedEx the prototypes back to me I still didn t know if they would start production or not And nothing arrived Since then four or five times I have asked both Steve XX and Christian XX to at least send back my prototypes but I get no response to emails anylonger and I still haven t had my prototypes back - Lots of work has been lost - Lots of time has been wasted almost a year by now - My working prototypes are lost I m very sad and frustrated If you are looking for a serious business partner in matters Sintered Oilite bronze bearings I m afraid this is NOT the place to go
