Dodgy website and credit card

Libra1975

Firstly, sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

I was looking for a specific pair of glasses, only found them in stock on one website http://spectaclecatwalk.co.uk/ so ordered them on Friday night. Now having looked at the website more closely I am wondering if they are for real they have webpages missing and spell basic words (for an eye sight website) like prescription incorrectly. They have no phone number (another warning bell) and a very unprofessional facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Spectacle-Catwalk/197652823600069)

I am not sure what the next step to do is, email them? Cancel my credit card? Wait and see if the glasses turn up? They are specifically for my eyesight so I am guessing I can't just cancel my order.
Any advice greatfully received. Thank you.

If you google the wakefield address on that website, you also get the following

They only seem to accept PayPal, which is good news for you as you are totally covered by PayPal's purchase protection.

Thank you for all your replies.

It has no reviews anywhere that I can find, part of me thinks well that's good there are no BAD reviews but part of me thinks how can a website not have ANY reviews!!!

Corbyboy, they accept credit cards as that's what I paid with.

fiendishly/halibut - how did you link them to [URL="malto:wakefield@premiervision.co.uk"]premiervision.co.uk[/URL] (which look much more professional!)

I suppose I should just wait and see if the glasses turn up, if they do great and if they don't I should be covered on the credit card.

Cant see at all how much you paid for them but your card will only cover you for goods over £100

Only if purchase is over £100, I believe.

Libra1975

Yes they were over £100, another reason I don't want it to be dodgy! If I could afford proper prices I would have gone to Vision Express.

You can get a pair of glasses for a lot less than £100 from Vision Express or Specsavers.

Personally, I would never buy glasses over the internet. Maybe because its personal experience.
There are so many horror stories about and eyesight is one of the most precious things we have.
