I ordered an item in bulk and it hasn't come ? Just emailed them today.

Is it a scam ? They don't even have a registered address on the site.

:( worried

No phone number, no address, web site "date" still says 2011.

Very risky site to buy from

Here is the "who is" entry, it mentios na Kane Powley.

I'm sorry clinkaty, I would never buy from a website without a checkable contact address. I hope you haven't lost a lot of money :-(

whats should i do ?
Alarm bell ringing number 1 in my head:
There's no postal contact address on that website, which is illegal for UK-based internet traders.

Alarm bell number 2:
There's no phone number. It's not a legal requirement but any responsible trader would normally show one.

However the person registering the domain name has, it seems, at least met with the requirement to reveal his identity here:

Try phoning him on 020-812-39951, which appears to be his number at KW Imports (which seems to be his home address anyway):

i paid for item in 12 Dec
That's no time at all, clinkaty, not with the Christmas post - it's only 5 days since you paid, assuming they don't pack and mail for a couple of days. I'd give it at least another week.
