    I recently bought mens clothing on website www. mileagevintage.co.uk.I made purchases approx. 10 days ago and have not received delivery. I emailed the seller but have got no reply. Has anyone else used this site and what was your experience.

    I took a look at that website, don't like what I see.....

    1. No bricks and mortar postal address
    2. No phone number
    3. No e-mail address - the 'contact us' method is that you fill in text into a white box and it gets (hopefully) sent to an unknown e-mail address
    4. Lots of logos gratuitously splashed along the bottom of the home page to impress the gullible - DHL, FedEx, Norton, McAFee, Western Union ?????

    There isn't even an 'About Us' link which on a website like that normally tells you their terms and conditions in poor English.

    Not accepting PayPal as a payment method is suspicious in my book.

    Not to mention that the registration page and the payments page are both not secured, so you'd be passing your credit card details to someone you don't know in clear text.

    Looks like this site is very new, registered in Sept 2016. (it was previously used by a tea shop in Kent)


    I wouldn't go near it.

    Plenty of businesses don't want to pay their huge fees.

    However - everything else screams dodgy here. From the god awful site design, the random keywords in the title, the name that is not connected to the products sold (what's vintage there?) and everything coylemj and Phoebas mentioned.


    I would look to get a chargeback done as soon as possible.

    You could still get the stuff, but it would likely be fake and might take a while as its probably being shipped from somewhere outside the UK.

    Has all the signs of a dogy site except the prices seem a bit higher than others, possibly to make people think its not " too cheap to be true".

    OP if you still haven't received anything then you should get on to your credit card company straight away and initiate a charge back.
