bill dyke

Pros: i did recieve my tv but lost another payment

Cons: As you are all aware this company went into administration on the 23rd december. I ordered a 42' plasma from this company which i did recieve on 14 novemeber and they took the payment out the same day. on the 16 december the company took another payment of £428.95. i noticed this when my bank statement arrived. i tried contacting the company but had a constant engaged tone. i then informed my bank and the police and trading standards and company house and they gave me all the details of the administration company dealing with it. now consumer direct has taken the matter on and have been told to contact S.H.O.P.S to try and claim some money back. i dont intented on leaving this matter until i have recieved money back

GLOBAL SOURCING TECHNOLOGIES GONE INTO ADMINISTRATION

Fay Bristol

Pros: None

Cons: Like many of you I have been struggling with this company for weeks, they "appeared" genuine,and they were always polite and friendly, IF you could get hold of them.I have had 3 X payments taken,1st on 25thNov £358.95,then they said no 37 's left so for £35 could upgrade,they reversed that figure and took £53 8th Dec, and then took another £359.95 16th December, please dont tell me that all these 2nd and 3rd payments were admin mistakes,there are too many of us that have had this so called "error".
After speaking with Melanie Hubble from the "Sun" she tells me that they met all the "criteria" to advertise, and in fact paid to join SHOPS !!!! so makes you wonder where it all went wrong, OR was it a "Masterplan" from start to finish, dont suppose we will ever know.
Good luck to you all in getting your re-imbursements,now my battle commences to get my £790.90 back.

not good news

Pros: absolutely zero

Cons: This company has gone into liquidation. Their website seems to have been taken down and no telephone number is working. I think SHOPS and credit card companies may be the only way of finding a resolution now. If you are still waiting for a TV this will not be good news but you will need to act now to recover your losses

Tony

Pros: god advertisment which offered tvs at a good price.

Cons: Stay well clear of this company. Ordered my 32' tv on the 14th November and they took 2 payments out of me. I managed to get 1 payment back on the 26th November, but i am still waiting for my tv. The last time that i managed to get through to them i was told my tv would arrive no later than friday 19th december, but six weeks on and still no tv. My bank is trying to claim the money back for non receivement of goods as i paid by visa debit card, but shall have to wait and see. Failling that i have contacted S.H.O.P.S. which told me if my bank have no joy they will claim it back for me.

do not have any dealings with this company

Pros: None

Cons: I ordered a 32" TV mid November & have still not received it. I have been trying to telephone the company over the past week & you get a constantly engaged tone. Upon checking this website it is quite obvious that no television is on its way. I have contacted S.H.O.P.S on 01628 641930 who have confirmed that they have not had contact with this company since before Christmas. I would encourage anyone who has placed an order with this company & lucky enough to have paid via a credit card to immediately contact their Bank for a refund. I also intend to report to the Trading standards.

S.H.O.P.S

Pros: I spoke to the Safe Home Ordering Protection Scheme and they said that they are investigating into Global Sourcing Technologies and that you can get your money back through S.H.O.P.S.
Contact them on on: 01628 641930 or visit their website at:

Dont deal with this Company

Pros: No pros about this Company

Cons: Like many others - money went out off my bank twice. Unable to get them on number quoted on their invoice but did manage to get them one by the number given in a review. They were apologetic and promised tv by Monday before Christmas and of course it never came. Fortunately my bank are getting my money back as paid by Visa so have bought another one now as needed one for Christmas. Not nice for customers who have paid for TV and cannot get their money back. Hope the company do not get away with treating customers like they are.

this company is fraud

Pros: Please stay away from this company. they are fraudstars.

Cons: nothing good can come from them

GST

Pros: I saw their ad in the metro under the brand techniks.

Cons: I payed for a 42inch plasma more than a month ago and did not recive it within the 14 days they said it would be delivered, so i cancelled my order. They said the money would be in my account within 48-72 hours and this was on the 05/12/08. two weeks have now passed and still havn't recieved my money back and all their numbers are unavilable. I called 01908 692816 and i spoke to someone who said the money would be in my account by 5.30pm. No sign of the money. If i do not get any results i am going to go down to their address. Is this business legit? Are they still trading?

Maxine Parkes

Pros: When I placed my order the order team were helpfull and friendly.

Cons: Order was placed 19th November money taken off credit card 20th November. After about 2 weeks I called for an approx delivery date was told it was being delivered the following week, at this point I was really pleased however no tv came, tied to contact the customer service the number had been cut off. At this point I was concerned so I contacted Trading Standards and the News of the World as this is where I had seen the ad for this company they gave me 01908 692816 and told me that it is a legitimat company. I did get through on that number and was told once again that they had had an overwhelming response and orders were taking upto 28 days. I called them back on wednesday this week spoke to Clarke who told me I was scheduled for deliver on friday between 8 and 12, its now 4pm and no show, have tried all the numbers I have carnt get through. Ive even called the newspaper again and they said they have spoken to GST and they have assured them that any orders placed before the 20th November will be delivered by Xmas Eve, I am presuming they mean Xmas Eve 2008. Any body in similar situation drop me an e-mail to sa.parkes@googlemail.com.

Mr Samuel Moore

Pros: Ordered a 37 inch lcd TV weeks back. I got call about 3 weeks later saying they were out of stock but I could have 42 inch at half the difference ie £35. They said I would have it before Xmas. Full amount has been taken out of my account. Up to this point I was still happy.

Cons: Nearly 8 weeks has elapsed and I still have not got TV. I now cannot make any contact with them on phone. I contacted Dan who said they are reputable and my money is protected.
Anyone have similar problems or solutions?

Global Sourcing Technologies

Pros: When I contacted this company for the purpose of buying a Television the operator service was good although a promise to call me back with added informtion did not materialise. I was told that my order would be dispatched within 14 days.

Cons: After 28 days my order had still not arrrived. I contacted Global Sourcing Technolgies' customer service department manager. I was told by him that my order would be deliverd the following day (Friday 5th December 2008) or Monday 8th December. Both dates came and went with no result. I contacted their customer order line on Wednesday 10thand was told that they were still taking new orders and were very keen to do so. I was told that if I placed an order at that moment in time, it would be delivered before christmas. That established I declined their offer and subsequently attempted to contact their customer service line again. Unfortunately !!!!!???? this line was out of order and unobtainable. Guess what? at the time of writing this review, the line is still unobtainable. The following day I attempted to contact their order line. Guess what? Line is busy and has been ever since, even at 2.30am in the morning. Have you had a problem with this company. Is it still solvent? I await with baited breath.
