Is This Company Legit? (and where's my cardi!?)

Hello
I rather rashly ordered a cardigan from this company via an American FaceBook Page called Stylish Guru.
http://fashionusshop.com/pages/contact-us/

I say rashly because I remember thinking at the time that I'd never heard of them, and their website seemed a bit dodgy - really hard to find if you don't go via FB.

Money debited on 4th Sep. No confirmation email. No despatch email. And no apparent way to contact them......

Have I been had?

  • Looking at the website almost certainly yes.

    How did you pay? By debit or credit card?
    If so consider a chargeback from your card issuer.
    MSE's Chargeback article has more details.

    I would say so, they don't even have any contact details on the site.

    And why would a site supposedly based in Ireland, selling in UK£ only be linked on an American FB page. Sounds far too fishy to be legit to me.

    Thank you
    I paid with Visa debit and as soon and said out loud (to Nationwide)...
    'it was a US site via FaceBook.....no order confirmation....no despatch confirmation....no contact details....' I realised what a numpty I was!
    They've opened a Visa Dispute so fingers crossed.

    I will desist with my ill fated mission to be stylish LOL

    "Please return the item to the return address on the package. If their is no return address your item came from China and we do not do returns for items that came from China"

    Outstanding customer service there. It's clearly a scam website, hopefully your chargeback will be successful.
