Is This Too Good To Be True?

Not sure if you are near a Costco but they have the Maclaren at a really good price.

Oh well then , we will have to wait and see if I get scammed then ! I bought one of the pramette's , M&P were selling them for £150 as they are an old colour . I paid with my VISA card via Paypal so if it goes wrong I will do a chargeback from my bank . I will let you know .

well i really hope u have not been scammed and would love to know if it all goes smoothly another poster did say that it could be something to do with old colours that would make it seem right that they can offer the deals as good as they are??

i thought that they had sold like 30-50 pushchairs from the 9th to the 12th sep but when i has another look each pushchair has quantity avalible ten so they had sold nearly 300 pushchairs mabey thats another good sign as they did say they place a huge order once a month

also i sent them an email
hi there
do you have any of these or the xlr in stock at the moment and would it be possible to collect please,

i received a message saying
Yes please order direct from our website www.discountbuggies.co.uk
Many Thanks,

Emmanol

so i sent another message

thanks so if i wanted to collect would you want cash on collecion or paypal/credit caed/visa

All orders are delivered to customers direct from our warehouse so local pick up is unfortunately not available for this item

I bought a Maclaren Quest Sport from them through Ebay... paid through Paypal ... but was then contacted by Ebay to say that they had removed the listing and canceled the transaction. I was very suspicious about this so I contacted discountbuggies and also raised a dispute via paypal. I quickly got a full refund from Paypal.

The reply I got from discountbuggies stated that the listing had been removed due to the use of their own website banner within the add ... they said if I still wanted the buggy I could repay using Paypal ... I too asked about collection as I'm only a couple of miles away ... but was also told that goods come direct from their warehouse....

Must say I am still somewhat suspicious .... although I do hope they are genuine .... and I did buy a maxi cosi car seat last year for a knock down price from another vendor without any problems as it was an old colour ...

having looked at their own website ... it does appear a bit bizarre that they have banners referring to "Top 10 website - hitwise 2007" yet according to one of the postings above . the website was only registered in August 2008!

The feedback given on Ebay appears to be too close to the original purchase date .. given that they will only commit to 28 days delivery .. I pressed them about getting something sooner, and they would not give any guarantees ... and stated it usually took around 14 days

I can assure you that Maclaren are not selling to this company. This is not last year's stock and some of the text looks like it comes from websites in the US. There is no way they can sell at these prices and be genuine. I would strongly advise you don't buy from them.

i must admit i have contacted both maclaren uk and usa regrding the company as they boast to be a maclaren authorised dealer and am yet to receive a reply from either:o

Hi guys,

I am feeling like a total and utter idiot today.........I ordered an M&P pushchair from this seller, I was going to pay with my credit card but couldnt locate it quickly enough as dont use it much and so ordered my item via maestro..... Didnt think anything of it until I got that email from ebay saying that the item had been removed. I sent a few emails to the seller but heard nothing back and there is no telephone number..........Have I been totally and utterly ripped off and lost my money as I did not pay using a credit card? I feel sick for being trusting, I am usually so cynical!

I could be suprised and my pushchair could come but am doubting it now very much, its been a week and they say 28 days but its worrying me that I cant get in touch with them....

Feeling let donw

Take care
Kristina
