    If only there were places where you could buy mobile phones and tablets instantly, or from which you could order online and get one delivered the next day.  It would solve this thorny problem.

    Indeed. Furthermore, the positive reviews on Trustpilot are very suspicious and dodgy.

    People need to report 3 Pin Products to Trustpilot because their review page is a complete and utter mess. Trading Standards is also worth reporting them to since the Better Business Bureau does not cover the U.K.

    Trustpilot is a waste of time.
    Great companies get 1 star reviews. 
    Life in the slow lane

    About five years ago they invited me and others to a meeting to hear our opinions/suggestions for the website, but looks as though it didn't do much good. One of my suggestions was to allow users to reply to a review, sorta like a company does to a review.

    Anyway, I have reported 3 Pin Products to Trustpilot and Trading Standards as of today. It needed to be done and more serious actions should be taken. Such as, suing them although that would depend on customers who were scammed.
  • HI,
    I am also came across this website. The price of Apple iPhone 11  and  Pro are really very good and Impressive. The review of Trust Pilot are not trust worthy as most of the recent negative review have been blurred.  I have emailed to them regarding the delivery and they have prompt reply in 10 minuted with assurance of delivery from Malaysia in 3 to 4 weeks and One year UK warranty. from any of the UK base customer.
    I have also inquiry to my Bank and credit card fraud department. They said as of now they have no complaint about this company and site. They can't help me in this case. If any issue with the supplier your credit card will decline automatically.
    I am bit confuse and waiting for any reply from any UK customer.
    Please post if anybody will receive the delivery.

    Read this small thread about 3PP: https://www.hotukdeals.com/discussions/has-anyone-ever-bought-anything-from-this-website-is-it-legit-3564693

    Let's say they were legit, if they were then why wouldn't they accept PayPal? Why would they sell products for so cheap? Why do consumers keep saying "my order will be here by the ___" and not "I received it"? Why does 3PP feel the need to insult, disrespect and mock customers on Trustpilot? And lastly: Why do dodgy new users suggest people to use debit cards than debit cards?

    It's quite clear the why to all. From this point on people know 3PP are scammers and if consumers are willing to take the risk of buying from them.. good luck.
  • Small update:

    I just looked up their business address on Google Maps and this is what came up...



    Does this look like a legit business store selling electronic products? No, clearly.

    Same here...my bank too have not had any claims or chargebacks against this company..after COVID, they have been operating again from September, so I would assume that the deliveries would have happened by now. Trustpilot reviews are fake (look at people with more than one review and they are done at the same time)..I have also put a long review there under honest opinion..the fact that the moment order is placed, it goes under dispatched is suspicious as well - not even the largest companies have such fast dispatch response but they do it because under their T&C, they cannot refund as the item is in transit..but they have not hidden anything about delivery times etc...
    The company phot that somehas put - they are an online company and do not need a fancy office, so I will accpet that. Mine is to be delivered on 2nd December, so I will update. But there are two more people LipMarch and CloudBowski who will get before me... I think the more we read these discussions, more concerned we get. People who have bought have taken a gamble, lets wait to see what comes out of that.
