    OK, this lot have c*cked up already!

    If you have placed an order and haven't received an order confirmation, you should email:

    adrian@globallyuk.com

    They will refund your payment if you paid by Paypal. If you paid by another method, the transaction probably failed anyway.

    I've already got my payment back - I emailed them. They phoned me 2 minutes later and my Paypal payment is already back in my account.

    They have taken the website down again because the order system wasn't working properly.

    It will be up and running again tomorrow, so we can try again.

    Beta testing by customers!!! :confused:

    You must be mad, these people are crooks :mad:
    They hide the money they screwed out of the public
    then go bust but some of their family come in as receivers
    and it happens all over again.

    They been doing same thing for what 10 to 15 years?
    I'm sure theres people know about them here,
    They are terrible:mad:

    Please provide links to prove the rant you have posted above.

    'Their family come in as receivers' my @rse.

    'They hide the money they screwed out of the public'. Your evidence is where?

    They're just not efficient and don't make profits, hence they go bankrupt. Same as any other business which fails. Watch out Jessops, you're next...

    They haven't done anything illegal as far as I can see.

    WRONG!

    I had just returned a faulty two week old DVD / HDD recorder for replacement.
    I had the EMail saying they had recieved it and then nothing.

    They never even acknowlaged my recorded delivery letter asking for it back.

    Nobody lost out? I lost £98

    :mad:

    Any chance that you paid for this with a credit card and it was part of a total order costing over £100? If so, you can reclaim from your credit card company. If not, the broken recorder is yours, and you are entitled to it back from the liquidator.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Actually Domski is spot on. It isn't the first time they have done this. As the company is privately owned they squirrel away money or move it into other businesses outside of Savastore. Then they use loopholes in bankruptcy law to come out of it quids in by buying the company back for nothing, writing off the debts and starting again.

    Wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. I've worked in the industry 10 years and know the company well.

    What's the company motto "take the money and run"?
    A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

    A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent,
    the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.

    Ive also heard that aswell, plus there not that cheap anyway. Ive never seen anything on there that was a 'absolute bargain' and so ive never bought anything. Because of there reputation, is is really worth the hassle incase things go wrong? Id rather spend my money with a company that I know will be there tomorrow.

    I ordeded a wireless printer from them as Savastore ... and the service was exceptional. Spot on printer, brand new, cheapest price, and super swift delivery.

    No complaints from me!!!
