I have just found out that the company I bought my new pushchair from is actually one big scam that has been reported to ebay, paypal and the police.
I am so embarrassed as I have been buying online for years and never been caught out before. I feel really stooopid! (I actually spent a lot of time trying to find any bad reports of them before we placed the order and checked that the email address and phone number worked and the postcode matched the address.)
They were selling through ebay but also have their own website (which has what seems at first check to be a legitimate address and contact details).
www.discountbuggies.co.uk
I was lucky, having bought one of their cheaper models, some people spent hundreds on travel systems.
I was horrified to find that their website is still up and running despite the police being informed, although ebay have now removed them.
I was surprised that I didn't find anything on MN about them as I searched several times, maybe everyone else is just better at spotting scams than I am. (Maybe preggy brain affected my judgement this time.)
Anyway, the only good news is that as everyone seems to pay through paypal you can get a full refund buy raising a claim.
There is a huge thread on moneysavingexpert about it if you want to look, but wasn't sure if I was allowed to link to another forum.
Wasn't sure where to list this (am not subscribed to the pushchair lists). At the very least I hope I have managed to prevent some other people from having to feel like I do today.
