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

Here is the email i received with the video clip.

After a thorough investigation into the internet company known as Model-Gadget, i can confirm that they are indeed based at 2a river way Epsom/Ewell, surrey KT19 0HH.
In my opinion Mike is the runner / translator of the business, who does all of the postage runs in a light Blue people carrier.
Any legal documents are related to a Mr CHAIRUDDIN CHAN and wife NGUYEN T CHAN.
I have numerous videos of the comings and goings from this company either at the house or from their local post office which will be passed on to the authorities involved.
I am in the process of loading the video clip on to the internet for the general public, and will inform you of the associated site within a few days.

 

Tried searching for the clip on YouTube, and lo and behold, up pops modelgadget himself, with his own videos on there !

 

I'm going to cancel my order with Model Gadget and start the process of getting my money back from my credit card company (also informing WorldPay).

Could someone recommend an alternate supplier? So far I've found Aria and ConsoleUp. Aria seem quite pricey, but I've used them before, and ConsoleUp only seem to have the M3DS Real in stock (is there much difference from the M3DS Simply?).

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Have you the link?
Or pm it to me, would like to see it, couldn't find anything my self.

To the other person md3 does exactly same thing, I was one of lucky ones who for some reason got a refund and went elsewhere and bought one.

 

@sheppio
i can recommend addictsupplies.com ( uk website ), but at the moment they dont have the r4ds or m3ds real in stock though ( will do soon hopefully )

they have a stock counter for each product they sell , so you know they are in stock before you buy !

i have bought from them about 5 time now and have been impressed with the quick delivery ( royal mail first class 2 - 3 days ).

i can well recommend them once they get some r4ds and m3ds real back in stock .

i havnt even had a confirmation to this order ?????

 

Same boat as most of us then..
I'd suggest waiting till 30 days after the order was placed, then ask your card issuer to claim the money back, contact WorldPay to advise them you are doing this, and go elsewhere.

After a month of chasing the order and getting no reply from Mike at Model Gadget, all the goodwill that was built up in the last year I've had trading with him is now exhusted.

Such a shame, as a little communication would have gone a long long way....

 

I have not yet received my order for 3 r4ds's, and 3 2GB cards. People who ordered after me, have received their orders, which i cant get my head round. But anyhow... my order number is: 24344

I placed the order on 8th december, and the status went to "despatched" on 18th. Yet i have still received nothing.

If you come back to this thread mick, sorting me out would be appreciated thanks!... My mum and 2 sisters are gettin restless.. and its annoying.

Cheers!

 

i suppose you could try this site then enter the company name and home address if you have that? :- http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/toolsToHelp/findCompanyInfo.shtml then i guess you would know if their solvent or well... scam?? - or even shutdown?? good luck

 

Mike if you are still reading this forum could you check my order please.



Order Number: 27212

Date Ordered: Saturday 29 December, 2007

Thanks in advance.

 

Placed my orer 18th December 07. Order reportedly dispatced 28th December. Here I am 10 days later - still waiting. Think I give it 48 hours before requesting a refund from my credit card company.

Will update if received.

 

It is definitely the case that he has prioritised the people who have requested their orders to be sorted out via this forum. A lot of people ordered after me, but received ages ago because they found this thread before me! Wheres the fairness in that!?

Mine has been 30 days today, i dont really want to get my money back through my bank etc... and have to start the waiting process again, i just want what i have paid for!

Frustrating.........

 

I found this forum while searching google for more info about this and wish I could come in with good news but sadly it's another tale of woe about this damn site.

I ordered a single CycloDS with no memory card on the 21st and was told it was dispatched on the 28th and I still haven't got mine. I have sent several emails to all of the email adresses on the site with no reply.

In the last email I gave him till end of business on tuesday before I would, on wednesday morning, report him to trading standards and the police.

I feel like many of you guys here I have been ripped off and will also be warning people on every forum I am registered on that this site is a rip off and also be mentioning it on my weekly podcast Radio-Ninty.

I don't even know if it's worth it but my order number is #26851 not that it really matters now my sisters birthday is today and I have nothing for her except a hug so thank you very much to the liars at model-gadget for ripping me off big time.

 

Hi

I had ordered before xmas and recieved just before by keeping on emailing the guys.

I ordered anotehr 2 ITEMS and went through WORLD PAY paid as i recieved an email from worldpay and the guys at model-gadget have not confirmed on my account and have not recieved goods of
£60 yet and why? why do u not answer these EMAILS!!

 

hi

that's my third message for this
I have ordered a cyclo ds before xmas the monday 17 december and since I have seen "despached" on the information of my order on the internet site model-gadget.com. but that was 2 week ago.
now I want to know what is the problem.
if there is a problem you must inform your customers, we have paid for buy things and we want just the true.

my Order Number: 26504

but I can understand that you can have big problems but just inform us

thanks for your future answer

 

Might be worth us all, and even those who have had orders delivered, but maybe paid for next day and ended up with next month -

The new series of BBC Watchdog starts this week -

Wednesday 9th January

I know a few of us have already filled in the online form, hopefully we can get model-gadget on this week or next weeks show and prevent him ripping off anyone else.

Link is here...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/tv_and_radio/watchdog/contact_index.shtml

 

I agree that we should contact watchdog, I have two times but like model gadget had no reply. I assume this is because Im not one of many? If we all do we cant be ignored. I have also contacted consumer watch and was thinking of contacting surrey police?

 

That is pure class! Loving alll the time you have put into that mate. It seems I was right with there address then If only you could come and pick me up from Liverpool and I will happily come down there and face him aswell....no cameras though Im afraid ;-) Good work all the same mate! Hope we see a result from it all the the little F****R gets deported back to china!
