    What does that all mean? That they don't exist?

    As the stuff appears to be coming from outside the EU, it also means that you are potentially liable for import duty and vat.

    Still does not explain why they fail to respond to communication and why other people have had the same problem no goods, or no response. I am going to pursue a claim via Paypal with the hope of resolving this issue/

    as whatmichaelsays states. they do exist but in San Diego, CA,USAand the server the website is hosted on is based in Russia.

    this would explain the shipping timeframe



    as it would take approx. 10 days for a parcel from the USA

    They are unlikely to exist anywhere near their registered domain location.

    Point in case: phone number on registration is Missouri.

    The email provider is dead on the domain registration.

    The stuff will be shipping from China - 21 days is the usual lead time on sellers in that market - US airmail doesn't take that long...

    Want to know just how fake it is? Another domain on the same server is here: http://blushworx.com/ ...take a look at the price of their number 1 seller and what it is ;)

    If they say it'll take up to 21 days for delivery you will need to wait that long, it won't help your paypal dispute and the seller will likely react to it.

    After the 25th file the claim with PayPal - up until then wait and see what turns up.

    looks that way.

    using Google Maps the zip code is for the Aqua Pros Swim Club on W Hawthorn Street

    the address is for the California International Business University on W Beech Street

    roughly 3.8 miles apart

    The street address on the domain and the zip all tie up, its a multi-business location at 425 West Beech St.

    If you googlemap search a zip code it shows the entire zip area, a zipcode is rarely tied to a single street in the US systems and certainly even more rarely an individual business.

    phone number could be a redirection service

    domain registered through a host in Thailand, site hosting on a server in a Russian Datacenter. a rented office/storage unit in San Diego and a Missouri number directed to anywhere in the world
