Beware of this importing business!!
Beware of this importing business!!
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.
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.

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?
