Funny enough I received an e-mail from Amazon just this morning and I've advised nothing received. I wonder how many £1.00's the seller received from this forum and I would presume others. Perhaps the making of a new business model.......

Forgot to mention the "tracking" number is going nowhere!

I got an email from Amazon on 24 August saying that it will be delivered tomorrow, 27 September. Is someone delivering it from China on a unicycle?

Awaiting more in hope than expectation.

Looking at the feedback of Fasun on Amazon, it doesnt look good, loads of people reporting goods not arriving, I have kicked off a complaint and will initiate a refund in 3 days if nothing turns up..

we got burned a few years ago buying a DVD player off Ebay, and paid with Paypal, apparently there is only a quite short window on claiming on Paypal and this supplier just kept saying it was delayed and it was on its way etc etc until the Paypal claim window was expired

just wondering if they might be delayed as I read the other day that due to the cheapness of fuel, ships are bypassing the Suez Canal and are going right around The Cape, which is obviously a longer route

I've contacted the seller and Amazon, but we were a bunch of greedy B*s jumping on an item that we thought had been mistakenly under-priced at £1.

If I get "burned" on this one I'll lick my financial wounds and learn to live with it :wink:

If they were mispriced, surely the seller should have just cancelled the order with an explanation?

Marking them as 'dispatched' and giving an expected delivery date seems to indicate that they were willing to fulfill the order at that price (or, at least, perpetuate the scam to give themselves a chance to get further away :lol: )

Too right. - there's several quid tied up in this just from Forum members - imagine the total. If it doesn't turn up then it's going to get charged back, which will proabably sink the seller if a lot of people do it as PayPal aren't going to do all of those for free.

My advice is to always fund your PayPal account with a credit card - that way you get the bank''s and Paypal's protections.
