Does the driver leaves relevant paperwork with me?
I am going to ship it with Chinese EMS. Do these guys have a clue how to deal with Irish customs?
For some reason all wholesaler offer free shipping with Chinese EMS. It saves bit of money. But is it most efficient way?
The cost of the item is 200 euro. Revenue said it ll go under 2% duty, so 4 euro for the state and rest for driver+operational fee. Makes sense.

Just out of interest and may help you too. Can you tell me where your buying from. Do you have a website address?

I not trying to scare you but there are many many scammers in China with fake websites selling electronics. They give you a really good price on something, tell you its free shipping, when you send the money you get either something completly different or nothing at all.

You can PM it to me if you prefere and I will look into it. Would hate to see someone getting scammed. It happens all too often.

If they are asking for you to pay by western union of bank transfere dont do it yet. Let me take a gander at them. If they are not the real deal I will pass on some of my suppliers to you where you can get legit products at legit prices.

As for customes, EMS simply send the stuff to Ireland, once here it is dealth with by Irish customs.

To give you an example of the cost of customs... I paid $160 for some items including shipping and I had to pay SDS €45.

rite my package was not successfully delivered somewhere in portlaoise
does any one know what will happen to my package now???

Hi ecoli,

Gonna need a bit more info than that. When did you purchase, who did you purchase from, how did you pay?

You have to be very careful when buying from China, there are tons of fake businesses out there. If you let me know the above I can check it out for you.

To me that looks like they called to your house (or where ever the delivery address is) and there was no-body there. Also, it may have been delivered to the wrong address and refused.

Usually what happens is the item is sent back to the sorting office so I would suggest calling the sorting office and give them the tracking number. They should be able to tell you where it can be collected or arrange to be delivered again. An Post are the usual guys who deal with EMS.

If you leave it too long it will be sent back to where you bought it from and you may end up having to pay charges for non-delivered item.

To double check the delivery address go back to the website you purchased from. (You should have set up an account to buy from the website) and check your account details to see what address you put in. You may have made a typo when entering the delivery address. It happens quite a bit.

EDIT: Just looking back at the info. It shows attempted delivery at 2am. Not sure why anyone would be out delivering at that time. But it 'could' be that it was stopped by customes.

Again, best way to find this out is to phone them and ask.

Hi Ecoli,

Ok, that IS a bit of a distance from where you live.

Trying calling the Mail Center on in portlaoise on 057 868950, they should be able to help.

The only other thing I can see that happened is it was scanned twice by accident at the mail center giving a false account of its tracking history.

No problem at all. Any time.

Hi there,
Im aslo having trouble with EMS. I bought a pair of runners online last thursday. I recieved my ems tracking code which doesnt seem to be valid? EE231362288CN. Im now worried that the website i bought them off may have been a scam... anyone any ideas at all? much appreciated!!

Hi Lydia,

Can you tell me the website address and I can look into it for you.

Buying trainers from China can be risky. There are hundreds if not thousands of website advertising Brand Names but they are just scammers with either cheap know-offs of they have nothing at all and just keep your moeny..

How did you pay? PayPal, Bank, Western Union?

If you paid using PayPal or Bank, you could have achance of getting your money back (provided you have been scammed), if you paid by western union, there is no comeback.

Anyway, let me know the above and I can check it out or you.

regards

Hi Lydia,

I am checking into this company and am finding reference to them on other sites that, in my opinion do not seem legit.

Their website is brand new and the domain name was only registered on 24 August 2009.

Now, its actually imposible for these guys to sell Nike shoes without a Nikes consent. Anyone who is a legit nike destributor has been givin permission from Nike to so so.

From the looks of it, you may well have been scammed. But dont worry, there is some good that can come out of this. Get onto paypal, or open a dispute in your paypay account on the transaction. When entering the details of the dispute say you suspect the website you purchased from to be a scam website. Paypal will then limit the sellers account (in most cases) and hold any money that is in the account until there is a resolve. If they turn out to be scammers then you may well have just saved many others from being scammed and you get your money back through paypal. If they are not a scammer all well and good, but to be honest, I think they are.

The software they used to build their website... I could build the same site in less than a day using the same sofware.. so they didnt really go to any expense on it.

Chinese internet scammers build tons of websites all selling the same products. The main ones to watch out for are Brand Name trainers, watched, electronics (PS2, LCD Tv's etc) all at half the normal RRP or even less sometimes.

So, email the company one more time, If you dont hear anything from them by tonight then go to your paypal account and open a dispute. If you paid using your Credit Card without setting up a paypal account, call your credit card issuer and have them do a reversal. Explain that you thing the website you purchaed from is a scam site and the credit card issuer will process a charge back with paypal.


Sorry if I am rambling on but the more info you have the better i recon. lol

If there is anything else, just hollah,
