    Default FSS German leather bridle?

    Anyone have or heard of this? I love that it has silver buckles, a crank, and comes in dark brown!

    Plus, the price including shipping, is very reasonable! Thoughts? Reviews?

    The bridle might be ok but the seller is not. They actually had too change names a couple of times. Every time she gets enough bad feedback she changes her seller name, always some version of saddlery4u.

    Seller is a thief, there is at least one thread on here about her. I purchased a bridle from her and got ripped off. Ended up with neither bridle nor my money. I actually reported her for mail fraud since she used the usps.

    Long story short, I ordered a bridle, she sent the wrong size, I returned it and she kept both bridle and money. She dragged things out long enough (not hard to do with international shipping) that I ended up with no recourse. It's her mo.

    Oh. I just got a girth from this seller. I bought it outside of ebay. She only had brown in stock and ordered a black one from the manufacturer for me. It just arrived today. It's the FSS anatomic girth.

    Perhaps shes cleaned up her act?

    I have bought 2 bridles and 3 breastplates from this seller and have been very pleased with the price and quality of the items. I did request size ranges (crownpiece, noseband and browband in inches) for the items so was able to get the right size the first time. I did not have to return anything so I have no experience with her returns. She did ship the items immediately and I received all of them in about a week from payment. I also found her to be responsive to email messages requesting further information. I would buy from her again.

    FRAUD ALERT! I was defrauded this ebay seller called Saddlery4U out of the United Kingdom. The also operate as the online store for a brand called FSS (Free Spirit Saddlery). Nice leather if you can get them to ship it. I ordered something from them in the past and that is how I got sucked in for a scam. They advertise really nice and super cheap bridles on e-bay with lots of options. I wanted custom options so they told me I had to order out of ebay for special order. It was a 6 week lead time and it has been 11 weeks. Here is the beauty of the scam: The lead time is longer than the time limit to dispute on Paypal (45 days), e-bay (45 days), or the bank. By the time you realize you are being ripped off, its too late to do something about it. I lost $136.07. Neither Paypal, my bank or ebay would help me. Lets see if IC3 (internet crime complaint center) will do anything. I just reported them to IC3 today, 10/29/12. Notifing people on Twitter, and facebook too.
