Unsure if its a scam website/Call/Text?

Yeah should have elaborated on the reviews. Way too many copy paste for it to be legit.

Discussed near the bottom of this page.

Unsure if its a scam website? - Page 6 — boards.ie - Now Ye're Talkin'

Clicabox.com is without any doubt a scam site.

The so-called Cro registration is a business name registration at a residential address in Meath.

Their terms and conditions are against distance selling regulations in that they will not accept returns.

They accept amex but not PayPal because of cost? Amex are more expensive than PayPal. Also amex don't operate in Ireland.

So I would be 100% certain that clicabox.com is a scam website that should be avoided

Hi Darc19,

I am the owner of the website.

And I am absolutely disgusted with the false allegations here.

I do hope that You realise that slander online without any kind of proof, is illegal and a company can take legal action against You for damaging its name online.

For Your information, Clicabox.com is a legit website, registered to a home address- as we are a very small business,that only operates online. And our offices are home based.

We do not have offices outside of that as of yet, other than our storages. Your reasons for calling us a scam, are very misleading. Also, it is devastating to see how lightly people write things without verifying them and cause a damage to the business.

We have been on the market for almost 1.5 years, that is how long we have been selling for. with of course some negative feedbacks out there, just like any other businesses- You can not always keep everyone happy. However, about 99.9% would reccomend us to others.If You actually researched properly You would be able to find feedback on adverts, 100% postive and trustpilot, where we have asked our customers to write feedback.

Our customers are always invited and asked to leave feedback. As a small business, the feedback matters to us, and we learn from it.

However, Your opinion isnt a valuable feedback to the business, it is misleading and offensive.

For Your information, the payments listed below by Yourself are actually handled by shopify itself, where we are always charged the same rate per payment. ( shopify handles it ) if we were to add Paypal, it would mean that we would have to pay shopify fees and paypal. Also, paypal is not reliable form of payment for us the sellers, as there are people out there who will receive their item, lie & try and claim money back. As a small business we can not let that happen to us. So we are trying to protect ourselves.

By reading some of the opinions on here, I have definitely taken on board the red flags that You all have mentioned and this is something that me and my business partner will work on.

Be careful guys. Any end of domain, domain extension different than ".com" or ".ie" is suspicious. You can see here ".in" India 🤣🤣🤣

Has anyone bought from a site called Xtreme Inn / Trade Inn? Want to get these here but unsure of it is a Chinese site or where they are shipping from, if it could be counterfeit product etc

Interesting to read this from you here.

For the record, I don't believe myself that clicabox is a scam website, as in entirely fraudulent. I believe that if I ordered something from you, I'd eventually get something. But there are still several reasons why I wouldn't order from you, and since you say you welcome feedback, here are some of those reasons:

• What appears to be blatant disregard for the Customer Rights Directive (CRD). This is EU law, and you can't just pick and choose. Under CRD, customers are entitled to a physical address and phone number - but you don't provide either. And far worse is how you completely ignore your obligations under the "cooling off" provision. You cannot simply say you don't accept returns unless the item is faulty. Under EU law, you must accept returns within 14 days.
• The overall poor design of basic elements of your website suggests a very unprofessional operation. Consider using transparent PNG images of items for sale, rather than white background JPEGs against the off-white colour of the web page itself. Alternatively, use thin frames around the item images. And you should definitely re-size all the images to a uniform size, instead of some being taller than others.
• The English on your FAQ page - where I might normally look for reassurance - is also very unprofessional. It's full of poor punctuation and unnecessary capitalisation, with some questionable sentence structure in there too. It doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
• Frankly, I find some of your claims literally incredible. For example: "All of the products that are available online are in stock". I simply don't believe that if I were to right now order a near 10-metre swimming pool (€2,000), a 7-metre one (€1,580), five different types of e-bikes, and four different sets of patio furniture, that you've got it all in stock right now, ready to ship out. But I stand to be happily corrected, maybe by you putting up a picture of these items in whatever massive warehouse you must use in order to store all these "in stock" items?
• Realistically, to have all items on your website in stock would mean you'd be sitting on hundreds of thousands (or possibly even millions) worth of stock. This doesn't tally with being a small business operating from a home address, and with a basic Shopify website.

I strongly suspect you're simply a dropshipping operation, and this in itself would explain your illegal 'no returns' policy. There's nothing wrong in essence with dropshipping, but you still have to comply with the law. Your refusal to do so is the main reason I wouldn't shop with you myself, and why I'd advise others against it too. If you won't even comply with statutory obligations, I'd expect your 'regular' customer service wouldn't exactly be top-notch either.

I hope this feedback is useful to you.

^^ I've bought from them as well, many times. Would definately recommend.

Got a text from Addresspal earlier, details as follows

Hi, AddressPal UK received an item for <ME>. If you are expecting an item, email APW number & invoice to AddressPalEnquiries@airbusiness.com. Quote XXX.

Is this a new thing from them? I've never gotten it before and have used AP multiple times. Got no email and when I log in to my AP account there is nothing showing there. Now as it happens, I am expecting something however its an item from a private seller so I don't have an invoice.

Seems it was genuine but they are requesting stuff that's never been requested before.

Some Russian C*ntbag tried this one on me today. Apparently located near Crimea.

He contacted me about something I am selling on donedeal and tells me he wants to use this handy service where DPD looks after the payment. After he "sets up" the delivery I am sent a link to "dpd.deliveryuz.online" to presumably fill in my credit card details - I didn't open the link, knew enough when I saw it

Might not be a "scam" as such. Could be just a case of somebody selling that sort of stuff, and who's willing to deliver to Donegal. They know there's more chance of Donegal people seeing their adverts if the ads say that they're in Donegal themselves, so they put up countless ads saying so. You'll probably find the same people have the same ads for Sligo, Leitrim, or wherever else in that region.

Fact that the ads are on Facebook Marketplace is particularly relevant here since the listings are free, so you can set up as many as you like under as many profiles as you can get away with.

So, while probably not entirely honest, probably not an actual scam either, in that you'd end up with a bed and they'd end up with no more from you than the price you actually agree.

I ordered through an Irish retailer on Saturday.

this evening I received an email from an post saying:

Your package is on the way.

Processing and delivery fees are pending. Proceed with the settlement of those fees to release the package and obtain a tracking ID.

Now clicking on the tab doesn’t bring me to an “An Post” web address. They want €2.99.

seconds after receiving this I got a text message again supposedly from an post wanting €1.99 with a link. Link I won’t post but says it’s a dangerous link.

obviously it’s a scam, but as I have only used this one retailer, either two things have occurred.

1. the retailer has been hacked
2. An Post systems have been hacked.

going to phone both in the morning.

Have never given my information to an post….and first time ordering from this company…Home Store and more.
