Packaging Supplies - A List of Cheap Sellers/Shops - + Now Couriers Too

I think that soolin has nailed it - I too put an order in to this online store and heard nothing so it does look like a scam to gather as many email (and postal adresses) for very little effort

The more I think about it the more suspect it becomes - how many online stores won't take credit cards????????

I don't think i will be sending payment whenever they ask for it. I will put a warning about them in my 1st post too. Maybe their prices are too good to be true,

Yes that's the retailer being discussed on the Amazon seller board, so be careful.

ooh I'm quivering with intrigue!
Bah I was excited about my cheap Jiffy bags (think I need to get out more:o )
Guess I'll stick to the pound shop 10 smallish ones (for a quid;) ) & the post office free silver polythene mailers of joy

sorry first chance ive got to be back, ( not that interesting im afraid)

They sent a reply to a question via the site, i basically said ive placed an order and chased it yet still heard nothing, and now you have put your prices up whats going on, they replied at 5 minutes to midnight which is a bit odd and said "what did you order and if its confirmed thats the price you pay"

Ive responded back but heard nothing and doubt I will, might give them a call on monday to vent !!


soolin do you know which bit of the discussion board these people are being discussed on ?

Mishka I don't know how to do a link to Amazon sellers forum but the thread is called 'Looks Like a Good Deal on Jiffy Bags ' and the owner of the site is responding to posts suggesting that he is not what he seems.

A quick update to let you know where im up to with wws (can you all do the same pls??)

Ive sent another email stating i will be contacting trading standards, not sure what response i will get if any but ive looked at the website again and they have now got a minimum order of £20 which has pushed me into asking for an explanation !!


mishka

EDIT seconds after sending email got reply saying that delivery this wed/thurs if paid or 48 hours from cleared funds

kitchnv

My advise is to steer well clear of WWS

There is another thread on here regarding the non-delivery of Dyson hoovers.

You have been warned!
