Internet Feng Shui Bracelet Scam.

  • Thanks for your comments.  I purchased these bracelets because I like the styles of the Far East and, normally, I enjoy wearing gemstones.  I did not believe in the Feng Shui but I like the style of it.  When I ordered, I didn’t realise these were available cheaper on eBay (some available from genuine UK sellers).  Have purchased jade from Hong Kong, before, without problem.  Must remember to do my research next time.

  • Update:
     I sent a screenshot of the web page showing my order.  A member of their support department responded with an apology.  I had to send a photo of the shipping label on the package.  The correct weight of items ordered was shown but contents were incorrect.  I then had to peel off the upper label to show the lower one, hard to do without destroying label (I agree with ‘born-again’s’ comment that retailer is a “drop shipper”: address was in Newcastle-under-Lyme.  I got some advice from Citizens Advice consumer line last week.  Emailed Buddha Power to say I knew my rights under UK law and that a failure to deliver an order was a breach of contract (there’s nowhere on their website that indicates if they are bound by UK law but I tried anyway).  I gave them a deadline of 3rd October to deliver.  They said they’d send my label photos to their fulfilment department.  Finally I received all three bracelets ordered yesterday 12 September.  So, some persistence pays off but shouldn’t be necessary in the first place.  Will resolve to shop more wisely in future.
