Beware of this importing business!!

Post by Willie » Fri 30 May 2014, 10:16

Hi guys, I'm tired of people taking chances so I'm just posting a warning regarding this business should you ever want to to do business with this guy, you have been warned.

I've ordered Ranchero parts from this guy 2 months ago and still no delivery. Everytime I request info regarding my order there are always excuses and empty promises of when they will deliver it. Empty promises have been going on for 8 weeks now. Still no tracking number, no order number, no details about my order to prove it is in fact in South Africa (altough he claims it is already here). I requested a contact number for his delivery guy but the number he gave me no one is ever picking up, not even a voicemail. I guess I can forget about my parts and 50% deposit I paid. The company seemed to be legit and here is the website:

http://www.toys4kids.co.za

What can I do to at least get my 50% deposit back?

Here's the domain name registration info. Certainly looks very suspect.

Code: Select all

 Domain Name:
        toys4kids.co.za

    Registrant:
        skillsconnect
        
        Email: email@skillsconnect.co.za
        Tel: +27.218020677
        Fax: None

    Registrant's Address:
        Wessels
        Cape Town
        Western Cape
        ZA
        2128

    Registrar:
        Afrihost

    Relevant Dates:
        Registration Date: 2011-08-21
        Renewal Date:      2014-08-21

    Domain Status:
        Registered until renewal date
What I can suggest is phone Afrihost and try and find out more information about the owner of the domain name. They must have detailed records, or at the very least a bank account number you can trace.

Then... get the baseball bat.

I'm banking with ABSA.

This is his banking details were I had to pay the deposit in:

J COOMBES T/.A

ACC; TYPE; CHEQUE

SWIFT CODE; F I R N Z Z A J J


His so called delivery guy phoned me again this morning from an unkown number stating he will deliver my parts by 12:30 today.....
Again, as the usual, nothing and nobody arrived. When I requested his driver's cell number this is what he gave me: 076 828 4251, but no one is ever answering.....

I don't even know how such a website/online shop can even be active. Are there no regulations for prohibiting such online shops?
