    UK retailer warning

    I don't know how many of you read bit-techs forums but you may want to know about this I've copied tigermains post entirely:

    Originally posted by tigermain
    After a recent discussion in my forum, it appears that a UK company are acting as a division of Sunbeam Technology proposing the retail of their products.

    This company is no way related with Sunbeam and I suggest you all avoid using them as it appears they are taking payments and not sending out any orders.

    The URLS of the site are:

    www.sunbeamtech.co.uk
    www.pc-x-treme.net

    I have confirmed this with Sunbeam themselves....


    That is not our webside. We don’t sell to this customer and they are not out branch,

    Somebody use our brand do some dirty thing.

    Don’t buy any products from that web, Sunbeam also will not sell that web forever.

    Please beware and spread the word !!

    You can get Sunbeam stuff from Ebuyer a lot cheaper anyway.

    Thx for the heads up.

    Why? they have mucho's good feedback?

    Perhaps its just a case of somone trying to make some cash from stuff they bought from another sunbeam supplier which to me seems fair enough, but if they aint honouring orders from the website then fair enough

    funny one

    they also have a fair bit of bad feedback,all of them saying item paid for but not delivered,the first account was also terminated by ebay prolly because of all the complaints they had.sounds exactly like whats been happening with the website..send a few orders,then rip off a few...look at the contact details on the website,there are none...sorry but if this isn't a rip-off merchant i don't know what is
