Askari problems.

[Map Turtle]

I have just spent over £100 with Askari online.

 

The order went pear shaped and Carl Porter emailed me to sort things out.

Well it all went well and the order was sorted.

 

But now I have the items I'm not happy at all.

The obvious photoshopped pictures and glorified description made the items sound great.

The prices were to good to be true, well that's the case.

Very poor quality, cheap tacky rubbish and the order was incomplete.

 

Now my real problem and reason for my thread.

I need help contacting them for a return ticket.

I have called and called, left voice messages and a number of emails.

 

Can any one advise me as to what my next move should be please.

 

Thanks.

The only thing that comes to mind is the trading standards people or possibly the police I do not know enough about what went on. Best bet Trading standards and citizens advice.

Trouble is they are based in Germany, I don't think Interpol will be much help.

 

Bunch of time wasters looking at some of the other threads on here about them.

 

I'll just keep trying, I'm keeping records of my attempts in contacting them.

At least they can't say I left it to late in returning the box of crap they sent me.

Thanks for that BF.

I have tried that number and it transfers to Germany.

Some times it's engaged for hours, then you get an English answer machine and then a bloody German one.

 

No matter how I try I'm still not getting any where.

 

I'll email them under a different name and see if they reply, I'll pretend I'm a new customer wanting to be ripped off again.

Since they apparently have a physical presence in the UK, Trading Standards really might be your best option unless you are having too much fun with the approach you are using now.

[Bigfishy]

Have you tried writing to them?

It's no fun I can assure you Newt.

I'm over £100 worse off.

The stuff I bought was a variety of hunting knives, I was going to give them as Christmas gifts.

I would expect better knives in my Christmas crackers.

I haven't but a recorded letter with a self addressed stamp return envelope might be worth a try.

 

I think it maybe a stall tactic they are using to stretch out the return time.

Even a credit note is better than the box of rubbish I have at the moment.
