I wonder if anybody know if 'Yanks Minatures' has stopped trading? I bought two off sets of Chained Jeep wheels via paypal on 1st dec 2007 and still not recived the goods or indeed had any response to my numerous mails and complaints via paypal?

Thanks for the feedback. They clearly arent taking it seriously. I guess I've only lost a few pounds but I would advise anybody to beware as they don't seem to have customer service asa focus.
