+Rich1010 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 We try to be very cautious when ordering stuff online... Just wanted a bit of heads up really, has anyone used this site to order before ? http://www.pentagongps.co.uk Thankyou. Quote Link to comment
+Vodor and Scorsby Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Well I havent had any experience of them but if they are based in a toyota showroom I cant see Toyota allowing any riff raff trading in there. Below is a link to their reviews on Review centre CLICK LINK TO REVIEW CENTRE It might help if you included what you are buying on here as many people on here have bought GPS' recently and may be able to share information of offers you may not know about Good luck Wayne Quote Link to comment
Santa_Claws Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Have a look on this site www.pocketgpsworld.com, and search for that retailer. The PGPSW site has a good/bad supplier section, and I know Pentagon is a known supplier. Not sure if they appear on the good or the bad list though.

Just wanted a bit of heads up really, has anyone used this site to order before ? http://www.pentagongps.co.uk Thankyou. Never used 'em as handtec.co.uk has always proven to be cheaper... And no, I work for neither of them! Jon. Quote Link to comment

I have read through the reviews for the site and can now order knowing it's a real site with some great feedback. Thanks again Edit: Handtec are doing the same device for £245.33 delivered.... anyone have a voucher code ? Edited March 17, 2011 by Rich1010 Quote Link to comment

Fully reputable Co - yes they are based in the 'back' of a Toyota Main Delaership, but the lady on Service reception just goes and gets the bloke to come out to you. Make sure you 62s doesnt have the infamous squeaky case ( effects all sellers, not only Pentagon )....have a read at my thread on the subject....caused quite a stir at the time, but best to be forewarned......

+ratcliffe Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I bought a 62s from them about 3 weeks ago. I went to the place to buy mine rather than ordering over the internet as I wanted it in a hurry. If you go to the store, prepare for a wait, I wasn't impressed by the handling of customers in the showroom. But the product is a dadgum good price, so I can put up with that... Quote Link to comment
+Vodor and Scorsby Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Seems like a really good price. I cant find them any cheaper online, even amazon is more expensive even though they come through pentagon GPS lol Hope all goes smoothly for you and enjoy your new GPS's All the best Wayne.

+HazelS Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Yep!! I bought my Colorado from them about 2 years ago and had REALLY good service fmor them. However, the Colorado was badged as being brand new with box etc, and when it arrived it was in a white box... I have no problem with this, as it was obviously in perfect nick, and everything else was present and correct, but it WAS a really good price, and arrived by courrier the very next day! I'd have no qualms about using them again, I bought my Oregon from Handtec simply because they were cheaper. Quote Link to comment

+Mallah Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I bought my 62s from them about 4 weeks ago now. I was surprised that it was nothing more than the reception desk in a Toyota Dealership but it was the best price I could find at the time and it didn't have the squeeky case. In fact my purchase was the spark for Steve (above) to go back and get his changed - which they did without any problems I gather. I had an eTrex Legend before and am finding the 62s fantastic by comparison. Best part for me is its ability to work under trees I'm sure you will enjoy it. Quote Link to comment
+Rich1010 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Placed my order last night and got a "your item has been shipped" email this morning, chances are it could be here tommorow or monday.. I'm upgrading from an Etrex H cant wait tbh Edited March 18, 2011 by Rich1010 Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) blimey, talk about going from a Robin Reliant to a Rolls Royce. Nice upgrade. Edited March 18, 2011 by DrDick&Vick Quote Link to comment

Indeed... Thanks again to Mike for the heads up on the newer batches without the squeaky case..... I bought my original last Sept, but Pentagon did an exchange recently without any hassle - the only hassle I got was the big FO from Garmin, but Pentagon stepped in ( outside their T&Cs ) and sorted me out - a big thanks to them, and of course Mike for the initial heads up. The 62s is a good device, although it does have some software issues, but the beta team seem to be getting these sorted...... I'm sure you wont be disappointed. Quote Link to comment
+thekennelat79 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I recently bought an Oregon from Pentagon (via Amazon), and had excellent service from them. Order and shipping confirmation was good, and the goods arrived within 5 days. I actually ordered the 300 model (at a low price of £239). Imagine my surprise to receive a brand new 400t in full retail packaging! Usual disclaimer etc. Quote Link to comment
+Moote Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Looks like they are part of the Pentagon Motor Group, so quite respected company It's my opinion and I reserve the right of freedom of speech; go you Yankees Quote Link to comment
+Madyokel Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Pretty sure this is where MrsY bought my Oregon. Turned up very quickly no probs and a good price. Quote Link to comment
+The Ninjas Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I bought a Dakota 10 for my son from Pentagon last October and everything was fine, I've just bought an Oregon 450 from Handtec - bought on Monday - delivered on Tuesday all for only £248. I had to ring them as the time slot their courier gave was too late, they were great and rang the courier on my behalf it was then rescheduled and delivered within 90mins of my call - They certainly get my vote and recommendation!

+lodgebarn Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I ordered an Oregon from them at a good price and it came very quickly. Would definitely order from them again. Quote Link to comment

For those that don't know, Tia's Jeep had a uplifting experience with a Rising Bollard a accident for which she was at no fault Deci Yes thank you Deci, I picked it up from Anglesey yesterday and had a great day out caching over there too. The jeep is like brand new, you wouldn't know anything had happened to it. The cost to the Echo Arena for raising the bollards as I was going over? ...... £3000 for the repairs. Not including any loss of earnings and being hurt in the accident that I will recieve. Bet they will be more carefull next time huh?

+Aggrajag Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I emailed Pentagon a couple of months ago when I was looking to upgrade to an Orgeon 450. As I only live about 5 miles away I asked if they had a showroom and would accept visitors or if they were only mail order... never got a reply so they never got the sale Quote Link to comment
+knaus67 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Yes we have used them for mail order, very helpful on the phone and prompt delivery. Excellent price too, cheapest Dakota we could find! Quote Link to comment

+BaCas Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I felt the same, seeing them on ebay - as we were in the area popped in and ended up buying an Oregon Assistant was very heplful and they have been when I have needed to ring them Would use them again They have a sales area at a car dealer's - Vauxhall/Toyota can't remember Quote Link to comment
