Anyone got stories to share about this bastards ?

I'm doing an article for The Register about them, including the way they shaft customers. The only way I got my refund was using the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 on their payment processor.

10/10 for me. Never had a problem with them.

Don't do business with people I've never heard of.

So what is our commission for giving info?

writing like that - bordering on a libel case aren't you?

If you have hard evidence to back it up then its hardly libel.

I've had issues with them. I ordered something then cancelled when I realised it wasn't UK spec. It took a threat to report them to Watchdog and Trading Standards before they paid up. Even then I had to get my bank involved.

So it will be an unbiased piece then?

I'd never heard of them, but a quick google search was enough to make sure I'd never use them. How come you got caught?

I was stupid, didn't google them. partly because I confused them with Simply Computers who used to do cheap n cheerful PCs.

Amongst their antics were sending me a Spanish phone, their returns process is a nightmare, their customer support line doesn't work either.

After I'd got their payment processors involved they called me. It did not go well for them, they claimed the support line worked, so I made the twat listen to me call them and be cut off.
At this point the conversation started to revolve around whether I had a magic phone.

Not sure there's any mileage in some online journo piece about the perils of buying dodgy grey imports from some company based in HK. The first page of Google results screams stay away.

What will the article say? I ordered a phone that was $100 cheaper than anywhere else from some online shop based in china and didn't get what I wanted. You might as well title it, An idiot with an internet connection... a tale of online stupidity.

Seriously, you think this counts as journalism. More likely you want to scream "don't you know who I am" down the phone to some guy who doesn't speak English.
