Do not buy from Nicecans.co.uk

Finally received my headphones.... today! I am chasing up a refund for the express delivery fees, I will let you know how it goes.

This is a copy of my review that I posted on TRUSTPILOT and also sent to Nicecans. I have also rated them on AVG Sitereports as a FAKE/SCAM website.

Headphone finally arrived today 5 weeks later. Ordered on the 5th Dec and arrived 5th Jan. Where does one start with Nicecans. I think the work Sxxxecans springs to mind. I ordered Sony MDR-EX35LP in ear headphones. These are not them. It looks like a 2nd hand/ fake parts have been put in old Sony packaging. After comparing them to my other Sony MDR-EX35LP headphones including the packaging there is a BIG difference.

1.Should be 3 sets of Earbuds in the box S, M, L and theses are colour coded. The box contains 2 that are not colour coded and are all one size. They are not even Sony Earbuds by the look and feel of the quality.

2.The metal mesh at the tips of the Headphones before the Earbuds are attached are not present, instead it is a cheap plastic moulding.


3.Cord Slider is missing. A bare wire/metal is poking through what looks like a static Cord Slider. Should also be 2 cables paired together as one that run from the headphone jack to the Cord Slider then split to each earpiece after the Cord Slider.

4.The Cord Adjuster has not been supplied as shown on the packaging.

5.Packaging is not the same as previous sets. Old bashed and all paper work such as Instructions, Warranty and Guarantee are missing.


This has to be the poorest set of FAKE SONY headphones that I have come across and I dare not even try them for fear of damaging my hearing. I only purchased these as my local HMV did not have any in stock and I was not even saving any money as they were the same price.
Looking at the reviews online that praise Nicecans for their product and quality of goods and service would appear FAKE as they are marked as submitted by CUSTOMER. It took Nicecans 10 days to reply to me and that was only after I posted my review.

It surprises me that this company is still trading after all the negative press/reviews that they have been recieving. On a plus piont M&S are selling a better quality set of headphones at there sale for the same price of £9.99. I know where I am going to replace this shoddy purchase.

awful!! NOW BACK AS NICECANS.CO.UK ITHINGY.CO.UK

i re-iterate the above comments. report them to their webhost abuse at 1and1 dot co dot uk

google checkout banned them. no bank would touch them so they get someone to process the payments for them currently is paypal and credit/debit cards via a firm you should lobby www dot cardsave dot net to do same (0808 149 5181 or 0800 058 8200). ask card save for their real number they have to give it (reject any 0844s). of course, they may be "bullet proof" card processor i.e. fraud friendly as they generate profit up till a point. actually cardsave.net are well known for slamming business customers telling them termination fees from other merchant processing providers are illegal then when you cancel apparently invoicing for £705. they know all about nicecans.co.uk and fraud but you might like to all phone them on their freefone number but note they wont let you if you with hold your number so be creative. its obvious why. they are almost as big a scam but that's a story for another day.

unless they have given their suppliers details or the 'L' in the GDL logo on gadget-distribution dot co.uk doesn't stand for Limited, you might recognise the following gentlemans website and many of the products. WHOIS address for below .com is part fake.. google maps show country side, a house, land rover and no high street (royalmail.com it you will see high st is not part of their address and the rest is inconsistent).

bbtradesales dot com

But this appears in fact a red herring. It seems this gadget distribution is a legitimate company run by Ian Willaims with address issues. Do not confuse with the real culprits:

These are the people behind all these websites with same problems:

He is 34 years old and his name is in the whois for the below websites, read on after the stars!!

From 2007, he was scamming using the now infamous site datakits.co.uk. Massive con operation..lots of threads on google including trust pilot where people used his parents phone number or police to somehow get their money back.. I don't advise. 123-reg.co.uk do nothing but keep registering domains for them.

****
exact same thing with a now struck off company Gadget Distribution Ltd which used sage pay (formerly protx) and same modus operendi more lately called:
GADGETS & JOYSTICKS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

Registered no: 06665937
Registered office: Wellesley House 204 London Road
Waterlooville
Hampshire PO7 7AN

lots and lots of complaints, exact same sick trick last xmas, floggadgets.co.uk as well, gadgetbuyers.co.uk, odds & pods, now ithingy.co.uk this year etc

remember on internet a trail and pattern is always left!

they're getting careless though as although its still hard to prove a criminal offence, they don't appear to be a limited company any more thus can't go bust with all your money and legitimize it like the sofa reincarnation companies, so can probably now be personally sued in the smaill claims court use moneyclaim.gov.uk will cost £25 and you can do yourself. winning a judgement would be simple enforcing it is not guaranteed. baliffs might need to be sent in to their house. or other people have phoned his parents or threatened police but certainly don't advise this!! instead take the civils steps of credit or debit card dispute and also contact your local police force to make a crime report which will be forwarded on to his local force. Trading Standards at Portsmouth City Council have ordered him to comply with certain regulations before and with threads on him 25 pages long, the Police cannot claim anymore he is just an incompetent business man. I recall a case on BBC Watchdog about a dodgey locksmith who would perform unecessary work, fitting unecessary new cheap locks at luxury lock prices and drove Ferraris. He's now in jail, at last.

Michael Reeder has recently changed his methods to be sending out some fake, damaged and other returned goods to customers as new, thus making the Police's life almost impossible.

Ordered a docking station for a HTC HD2 and paid via PayPal, amazingly I actually received a docking station, albeit a cheaper version of the one I ordered from their web site. Having sent a email stating that it was the wrong one and having rung the number with no answer, I then started Googling and was sad to see this thread. I just noticed today that the nicecans web is down, probably taken off line never to be seen again.

I recently purchased over £70 worth of goods from their site and only received a small part of my order. This is the first time i have been conned online and did not expect this especially from a UK site.

I have reported them to "actionfraud.org.uk" and i strongly urge everyone else to do the same and put a stop to this fraud. I would have posted a direct link for them but moneysavingexpert doesn't let me. It's crazy they have been able to get away with it for so long so please report them.

report them to consumer direct - the complaint will go to trading standards who are the body that deal with this type of issue

I called the company (CardSave) who deal with their ePOS

cardsave (dot) net (slash) contact

They actually put me through to the merchant's mobile number, who sorted my order out. I told him I've called every day for the last two weeks, etc, just kept saying they're busy and someone should have called me back...

We'll see if I get my goods now...

Others might be interested in that mobile number.

They didn't give me the number, they just called it and transferred me to it.

They didn't seem to mind though so that might be the easiest way to get in touch with them.

Cardsave had two companies listed, nicecans.co.uk and Odds and Pods, so try mentioning the second if you have no luck.

I have had similar problems to many on this thread - looked legit and only found out after item hasn't arrived and numerous emails sent that they're fake!

Does anyone know what to do now? I have looked on the card save website but not sure what I need to ask them. Or should I contact my bank to dispute the card transaction?

I'm basically totally clueless! I can't imagine I'll get my money back, and don't want to incur any extra wasted money chasing nicecans up on a probably fake 0844 number yet I do really want to complain to someone as they can't keep on getting away with this!!!!

Any advice would be gratefully received!
