    ...What no address!! I hope that OP paid on card of credit, noted that it is over £100. DO A CHARGE BACK. That is, if your provider will do so!

    Whilst the OP may have paid by card, it appears such payments are made via Skrill, which appears to be an intermediary (a bit like paypal, but without the safeguards)
    https://www.skrill.com/en/

    (The site also offers paypal as a payment method)

    The language used in the Ts & Cs suggests the writer's mother tongue is not English. I would speculate this company is based overseas.


    Their terms clearly state it can take up to 15 days for delivery, so I don't see you have any recourse until that time has elapsed.

    Chargeback immediately, seems like they use to use a fake address and a non-existing phone number which they've now removed:

    Also appear to sell broken products.

    What the hell is this?

    I would never order from any website that does not have a contact number! Further than that I would ring said number before I even thought about ordering something to check it worked and was kosher!

    I think a physical address is the most important thing -- I don't worry too much about phone numbers.

    You can validate an address using the Post Office or Royal Mail address/postcode-checkers, view the location in Google Streetview, and compare it to the address on the domain whois and at Companies House.

    There are services for non-geographic and "big city" phone numbers (e.g. those starting 0800, 0845, 020, 0161, etc.) to be redirected to any other number, so you don't really know who you're talking to. And mobile numbers can be discardable PAYG SIM cards... But any reputable company should have a real, physical address on their website... one that exists and is registered with multiple organisations. :)

    Chargeback immediately,...

    I don't think that is possible as payment appears to have been sent via an intermediary (Skrill), unless there is an issue with the actual services Skrill offered.
  • Just wanted to update: I received a full refund from Skrill on the 28th after even they were unable to get a reply from nicetap.
    Hope this website gets closed down.
