Private Floor

Has anybody else had trouble with (or even heard about) this lot? "Factory prices" furniture/furnishings site. VERY stupidly (before anyone else says it!) we've ordered some furniture from them and paid by bank transfer (5% discount; I know, I should have paid by credit card :-( ). Now, 5 weeks on, no reply to emails, can't speak to anyone (London number just goes to recorded message saying how busy they are and someone will get back to me - they don't), and a Google search reveals appalling Trust Pilot reviews ("scammers", "thieves", countless orders not received etc etc etc). Not only do I feel really stupid for not Googling them before I ordered (Friday evening, red wine and an iPad is a dangerous combo) but I've no idea what recourse I've got (if any) or indeed where to go next (they seem to be a French outfit, despite the London HQ number). If anyone can offer some crumb of comfort or advice please post it here... Kev

    I'm not sure I can offer anything more than you've already beaten yourself over the head with: do your research first; don't pay by bank transfer unless you are 100% certain of the seller; pay by credit card if possible. You could contact Action Fraud but I doubt if they'll be able to do anything to get your money back I'm afraid.

    Agree with the above.
    Why do you think they are French?

  • Thanks both. I'm not sure what made me think they were French... clearly they're not.

    So, they've taken a lot of money from me and it seems as if there's no recourse? Surely this is theft?
  • I thought they may be French because of the number of French customers who have had a similar experience on Trustpilot...
