    I actually thought this latest re-writing of the T&Cs was an improvement. They're still unacceptable / unenforceable though:

    4.3 All goods are inspected and checked before delivery for faults, damages, and to confirm the correct item. This means the seal may be broken and you may receive goods that have been checked. This is normal and you cannot cancel an order for this reason. This does not affect your right of Cancellation.

    Mobile phones arrive in sealed cartons with a manufacturer warning not to take possession if the seal has been broken.

    [Name removed by Forum Team] 's pretence that breaking a seal is "normal" is ludicrous. Anything sold as new by GCsPCs but which arrives in a box with a broken seal is automatically 'pre-owned', whether by [Name removed by Forum Team] himself, his friends and family, or (for all I know) an, er, eBay seller.

    Why he and his father continue on with GCsPCs is a mystery: it's not just the product seals that are broken now.

    PS: it's not clear what despatch schedule GCsPCs is operating now but even that's bust, too. Companies House is singularly unimpressed with the failure to file the statutory return (note to [Name removed by Forum Team] : the clue is in Companies House use of the not especially technical term OVERDUE.) :eek:

    The money this trailer trash duo is making at the moment won't even cover the hosting costs of their website. There are 2 reasons for this:

    a) any customer currently trying to complete their order will expect, as on all other websites, to be transferred to a secure (i.e. "https://") portion of the site, where they will happily enter their credit card details to finish the order; in laurel & hardy's case, they land on a page which they are invited to print (!), with no address or bank details to send a cheque to or make a BACS payment to.

    b) those naive enough to telephone the "Central London, diverted to some chicken coop" (0203) number will find it is never answered, because [Name removed by Forum Team] is at school and David is a gardener. I've rung this number at all times during the day, only to be met by the father's answerphone message saying the office is now closed (!), but they'll call back within 72 (!!!) hours. Often the number does not even connect, presumably because it is rented from some low quality service.

    If it does get answered, I suspect that the duo is so suspicious of someone just "having a laugh", that they'll put any remaining prospect right off.

    Lastly, if he does find a card merchant again, the combined contributors of MSE and DigitalSpy will make sure it is closed down the day it has gone live.

    Closing it down would for many reasons be a sensible idea. But sensible ideas don't seem to come easily to GCsPCs owners.

    we were the first UK company to sell the Apple iPhone. PMSL

    and here's me thinking that Apple/O2/CPW were the first company to sell the iPhone - legally!!!

    Here is the email that i have sent to Apple

    Hi,

    This website is offering iPhone's for sale and offering unlocked iPhone's for sale, which i feel as a valued Apple customer and fan that it may be detrimental to Apples reputation.

    The website of the offending product is listed below;

    For reporting purposes (police, trading standards, HMRC, Microsoft, merchant card providers, the burglary squad, social services, benefit fraud hotline, Apple, Nokia, Blackberry etc etc etc) always include [Name removed by Forum Team] 's real home address. It is:

    I doubt apple will do anything.

    http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/9352150/Apple-iPhone-3G-16GB-Sim-Free-Unlocked-2-0-Megapixel-Mobile-Phone/Product.html

    There's nothing illegal about selling unlocked iphones. It's an EU law, I believe, that states all phones should be available without being tied in to any network.

    Mind you, 6 ton for a sodding phone. :o
