WorldWide Stationery Group

I am thinking of buying a printer from the above company. Does anybody out there have any experience of dealing with them.
Many thanks

I would steer WELL clear of them.

See this forum update.

Seems they will only acept cheque, they cash the cheque, and you never see the item.

Done a bit more research (feel like I am on Watchdog)

Their web site is here
http://www.worldwidestationery.com/

But they have exactly the same web site here
http://www.paperandenvelopes.co.uk/

The terms and conditions page talks about
CAMERON WORLDWIDE LTD

A search of Cameron Worldwide Ltd gives all sorts of strange web sites like these:

http://www.secinfo.com/dsVsw.71qd.c.htm

http://www.cameronworldwide.com/

(On the web site above, if you click on the text under "news" in the top right you get taken to this page

http://www.cameronworldwide.com/news/2007_03_0 1_archive.html

Note he has spelt Cameron wrong on his own web site (cameorn).

One final thing that is quite funny. If you go to their web site here:

http://www.worldwidestationery.com/

And select on "Terms and Conds" you get this page

http://www.worldwidestationery.com/index.php?p age=terms

Look under reseller and see how he has spelt "which".

In fact the text is awful English (and it is all one sentence), as follows:

We have set up a �Reseller� programme witch is a service only offered to people that sell on stationery it works by you buy the products from us when you need them supply us with the address you need them delivered to we will package your item up with your logo on the packaging and send direct to your customer so your customer saves the postage fee and you can sell more stock as your customers will see that there is no postage charge.

Thank you for your warning. I have contacted the newspaper which ran their advert but I could not believe that as I was reading your replies. WWS were sending me a pro-forma invoice at the same time.

PS Any suggestions for new colour printer suppliers (legit)
