    £120ish. I just rang 118 118 and asked for the number for james chapman who is the registrant. but there is no one of that name at that address!!

    Thanks

    He may be a teenager operating from his bedroom using a dropshipper, so the house is not in his name or the phone could be ex directory.

    I totally agree the internet law states it must have a contact number.

    I would wait as it has only been 2 days, however inform your credit card company of the website as it does not at present conform to uk standard

    also not having an SSL certificate it does not comply with Visa for accepting payments through Visa.

    you paid by CC who through

    Paypal
    Google Checkout
    Worldpay etc.
  • Just paid through mastercard.

    yes but their site must have directed you to a payment provider where you gave your card details.
  • I cant remember. Just done some digging and found Bella Bathroom at the same address, 16 High Grange, Crook, County Durham. It has really bad reviews!!!!!

    I wouldn't be surprised if that is a random person's address, or even a fake one.

    both domains registered with the same registrar so i would say both sites run by the same people

    but bella is listed as a ltd co, and is fully secure and looks professionals and yet ibathrooms is a cheap template without contact details and not secure.

  • Hi Just thought I would let you know that I called Bella Bathrooms, they told me that I shouldn't have been able to put in my CC details as the website for ibathrooms isn't ready yet. Taps not coming. Oh well at least I know it wasn't a "fake website" was worried though. Thanks for all the help though.
