Having won a "bargain" on Ebay I put it up to find it leaked in the lightest of showers. I contacted Tentastic through the Ebay message service and I was sent a new flysheet without question. It's now pitched in the garden awaiting the next deluge.

I can not condone the selling of shoddy merchandise but I can commend Tetastic's customer service and if I do get a 2-man weather-proof tent for the £15 (incl p&p) I paid then I'll be happy. If not it'll be protecting next years Tomato plants.

Good luck Flikflak on your new tent.

I found Tentasic customer service to be one of the best I have come across.  They sorted me out in record time without any cost to myself.

The Tentastic Leben Unna has been pitched in the garden for 5 days now. The replacement flysheet has held up to the heavy rain and strong winds quite well. No tears, seams are still holding but there is a leak around the side "d" shape door. It's nothing a spot of Fabsil can't cure. I think it's more a design issue than poor manufacture.

I wouldn't say it'd be my first (or third) choice to pitch but for festivals or rallies it should be fine.

I've bought a tent on ebay this year.  I bought a Skandika one.  They are in Germany, but I must say it is beautifully made, brand new and there's lots to choose from.  They only appear to sell on Ebay, but I did have to speak to the seller, by phone in Germany (not for a problem on their part!) and the customer service I spoke to was excellent.  Its a lovely tent and is exactly as it looks on the pictures.  Very reasonable prices even with the p&p from Germany.  Recieved tent within 5 days of winning too.

Hi MaureenML

I'm sure members of this site would be interested to find out how well your tent performs after a few camping trips. Perhaps you'd like to post a quick review when you get a chance?

Welcome and happy camping!
