Do not buy from this site.
Spent £85 on juice and accessories. First of all, only accepts Bank Transfer. Second, sent parcel to wrong address. Third, retrieved the parcel to find order only half filled.
No contact phone number. Messaging only. Asked them to refund me for the missing items and they stopped responding to messages.

I know what you're thinking - how can someone be so stupid to buy from this kind of site? In my defence, enthusiasm as a new vaper got the better of me (I know, unless I was also born yesterday, still pretty stupid ). At the very least, I can try to warn others.

Anyone any advice on making them "pay"?
Thanks

Afraid if it's done via bank transfer, there isn't alot that can be done. Think you may need to chalk it up to experience.

Should also be avoided as they have clearly ripped the name off a great band! Zak Wylde would be livid!

Oh, just so you know, you will need to add a disclaimer to your message to comply with name and shame rules.

Edit to add.

Just taken a quick look on the website. It's as dodgy as a dodgy thing on a very dodgy day! It gave me a PayPal option at first which was very quickly taken away so I had only choice to make a bank transfer. Half their stock is straight from FastTech with about 200% added to the price.

You could try contacting your bank but I’m not sure they’ll be able to do much.

They seem to be English, so you could try trading standards? I don't know how much joy you will have but it may be worth a shot. Might be worth keeping any communications / receipts / emails you have. As a business, surely they are still subject to contract law, regardless of the payment method used.

Also they're on trustpilot. You could contact them or leave a review there, for what it's worth.

I'm not an expert, just my 2 cents.

As Chris K says, because you paid by bank transfer, your options are limited.

Sorry you had such a bad experience. There's a directory of trusted vendors on here.

I use this company for about a year now and always paid the PayPal never had an issue. so as a lot of my friends in the vaping community. thumbs up in my book

The site is illegal and breaches online selling regulations.

If you are bothered, report it to Trading Standards for failing to provide a business address.

 

[Mawsley]

...but seriously, nobody should ever buy anything by F&F on Paypal or by bank transfer.

Ever.

Like, fucking ever.
