DON'T be conned into BUYing from Model-gadget/KlickStore.com; EMAILs and/or FOUL LANGUAGE = BAN

Still waiting for my order placed on the 28th of November. Just sent an email to the hotmail address that's been listed so fingers crossed.

 

dont hold your breath.
seems their all off on a nice new year break.
post office now closed and nothing being delivered for another couple of days.
yet more misery and waiting i'm afraid.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL THE SAME !!!

 

Is anyone worried about not actually ever receiving their goods? I made my order on 13th Dec, but I've heard nothing, not even a confirmation email of the order (although the money has been taken from my credit card).

I've sent numerous emails and tried to phone them, but there is never any reply. I'm even more suspicious now I see they have taken an extra long Xmas break.

I'm wondering whether I should be making inquiries about getting my money back from WorldPay, and then take my business elsewhere.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

YES I WOULD TRY AND GET REFUND FROM WORLD PAY
IM IN THE SAME BOAT AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING!!
COULD BE A SCAM BUT PEOPLE SAY THEY HAVE RECIEVED ITEMS???
IM CONFUSSED???!!!!

I WILL JUST GO ELSEWHERE - TRY AMAZON - I HAVE ...

HAPPY NEWYEAR ANYWAY - NOT TO MODEL GADGET THOUGH.....

 

Great thread. I didn't realise everyone was having the same problem as my order seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth!

Any chance of finding out about Transaction ID: 282874781? Order placed on 28 November and already too late for my Nephew's Christmas present!!

 

hi just to put every 1's mind at rest,

model gadget have had so many orders this year probly 3 times more than last year, as more people have ds consoles and this took them by surprise,

IMO they wern't prepared for the ammount of orders and were hoping to get all the orders out by xmas, but as they recieved so many emails it crashed the server that deals with the dispatches (which is probly a seperate server to the one taking orders) which in turn left them with quite a mess and mike having a lot of work to do,

as they aren't taking any orders till 20th jan, this will be so they can clear the back log and hopefully everyone gets their order by then, just have faith and mike will sort your order guarenteed, as i have ordered many of times but didn't leave it till the last minute to get mine,

also royal mail were part of the problem as it was takin them 3 or 4 days to deliver next day special deliveries, now the festive period is over deliveries will be quicker and believe me once your items arrive you wont be dissapointed and will be glad you just waited it out,

just give it till the 20th and i'm pretty sure your items will be here, all the best for 2008 !!!

Hi there, thanks for the update....

In what way are you affiliated to Mike? And why hasn't this information come from Mike himself instead of a third-party.

Also, if your not connected to Mike, what worth is the guarantee that you have given in your post.

Thats like rubbing salt into a wound.. there are people on here who ordered in November who are still awaiting updates, and I placed my order on the 9th December hardly last minute..

Sorry if this comes across as arsey, but trying to contact Mike is like trying to get blood from a stone.
This whole sorry affair could have been defused with a few posts from the man himself, instead of messages to contact him via email that never gets a reply...

PS; no reply as yet to the mail sent on the 30th to the hotmail account on the site (modelgadget@hotmail.co.uk)

 

Totally agree with you Flippy. All I want is one personal email saying everything will be okay and a general update every couple of days in this forum detailing where he is through the backlog.

Can't be bothered to check now, but I'm sure it was early mid December since we last heard from him on here.

 

Like I said before, Worldpay have advised that:

"I have forwarded your email to our compliance department as there is currently an investigation into this company. If our customers do not comply with our terms and conditions they we reserve the right to cancel their service.

To obtain your refund I would advise contacting your card issuing bank to start the chargeback dispute."

This crook is never going to fulfil the orders placed - no point peeps sticking up for him, he should not have committed to supply and taken our money.

Out of interest - my friend got exactly the same goods from http://www.aria.co.uk with no hassle at all he's laughing at me now for being a muppet and using model-gadget!!!

 

Order taken 10th December and email confirming order recieved so dont fall for the "email server crash" excuse. Its BULL.

Despatched email recieved 18th December. Now 3rd Jan. So were is it ?
I suppose his next excuse will be LOST IN THE POST?

Emails sent to ALL of his email accounts and txt messages left on his phone. NO response. Has he an excuse for that one? Maybe his phone service provider's equipment was faulty?

Postage charge was for NEXT DAY. An offer to treat was accepted by completing the contract. So I want my postage back even if he does send the goods. Oh and I WILL issue in small claims against his company if I dont get it. I would suggest everybody else does the same.

The top and bottom of it is he was greedy. Even though he knew he couldnt complete the orders he still wanted the money, and took it.
Ive no doubt he will try to honor the orders but there is a real chance some of you (me included) will never see our orders or money because once a limited company trades stock it doesnt have it breaches the ltd companies act and that useualy ends in forced liquidation.

Dont fall for the bull people, Christmas is TWO day's and the world does not stop turning for it.
I got post on christmas eve and i got post the day after boxing day.

Maybe GOD is to blame ?

 

Calm down yeh? its not the end of the world, you will get you order like i got mine after like a month and others too. Life as we know it is not over due to your M3 or R4.

 

ME calm down....I seem to recall YOU wanted to go to his house ?

 

Last post from Mike, username ModGadget, was 17th December 2007 @ 17:16.

I think an official update, and not some excuse, is way overdue.

 

This reassurance was as hollow as the void that my cash vanished into 20 seconds after I placed the order...

I've decided to try a new tact.. I've emailed the info mail address regarding one of the products, just to see how quickly this guy responds to sales enquiries. If I get a reply in a day or so, I'll know that there is life at Model Gadget, he just isn't interested in fulfilling outstanding transactions.

BTW, the mobile number above has been switched off for 2 weeks now..

PS, still no reply to the mail I sent on the 30th December 2007 advising on him being in breach of Distance Selling Regulations.

 

Ok,...

I have really had enough with this guy....

I thnk its time to take some action of our own....

I found out this guy runs an ebay store....

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/modelgadget/

A post on 3rd January says "Super Fast Delivery. A++++++ Ebayer. Will buy from again"

So he must still be doing business from ebay. Why isnt this guy shut down yet? Can he get away with it? This guy has now basically stolen £50 from me. I have seen nothing and I am EXTREMELY ANGRY.

Let's get together....maybe we can get him bad ebay reviews or something. Even contact ebay to make them aware to cancel his account or something. We have to do SOMETHING.

Any suggestions?

Regards

 

I have just been emailed a video clip of 2 guys knocking on Model-Gadgets front door.
It was interesting to see how shy they were.

 

please send me that link
*email removed*

he is such a rip off merchant..

 

Any chance you can YouTube the vid or something, then post a link to it here, as I'm guessing there are alot of posters that would like a look at it.
