Birmingham peeps, anyone got a few mins spare?

[st3v3]

I'm not part of the region to ask there, and others may have been done by this so i'm asking as an advisory:

My old man ordered form this site, some HDD or other but costing 80quid irrc.. 6 months later the goods dont appear so he researches and finds out "B4U direct" is a scam thing and a few people were daft enough to not do research before they 'got a deal' so my question is, do any BCF'ers reside within a quick trek of 95 Broad Street, Birmingham to check out whether the unit is still in use before I go down there looking for my dads missing money?....

Cheers.

You waited 6 months until you decided something was dodgy?

[iooi]

You want a good laugh......

Just read their T/C

But seriously... WTF did he wait 6 months for delivery..... Given that he had to have paid by card. he has no lost hope a getting the cash back via his card provider as its now over 120 days....

Unless he has a email from them stating a later delivery date, that brings it back within the 120 days..

Hope that helps.

hmmm borad street? UNIT!!?? i dont think youve even google mapped this ...broad street is a street of night clubs raves and pubs, it gets closed on weekends for bus's ect and from what i know there is a unit anywhere near it!

[Ariel Badger]

As said Broad St is just clubs and slappers being sick, I suppose that there could be a few people living above bars but there are no industrial units there.

They are not a retail tenant, or any kind of shop or unit.

The website describes quite clearly what they do, you order via them, pay them and they get the goods delivered direct to you from an overseas supplier. This is fraught with problems cos of different postal and courier services, import/export charges etc but if set up properly it can work OK.

The address is likely to be at best just a small office, more likely a maildrop address, you are wasting your time going there.

If your dad has ordered goods which haven't been supplied and has exhausted the standard customer service route then he needs to find out what legal entity (company? person?) owns the business and sue them in the small claims court.

They were 'based' at that address, legally. I dont care whether post was picked there or they sat in there 9-5.

They're apparently refunding asap, but, meh. their dealing method is shoddy.

Check 'the internet' for them, seems they have built a reputation around such behaviour, poor show.
