I bought a cheap android phone from a UK company which is now closed/bust. Basically the phone fails to make calls & text messages after about 3 weeks of usage (it was a chinese imitation costing £150)
I emailed the company about 4 days ago (but as it was Easter) wasn't expecting a response. Their website was active yesterday, today I checked and it gone. They basically sold chinese tablets, mini tv sticks & android mobile phones which they supposedly imported from China.
The redirect on their websites states the following:
InGadget.co.uk is now closed.
We tried our best to provide you with the best service we could but to achieve this you need to have full support from suppliers and brands which we could not get.
All our tablets were bought from here:
FAO Eric
SUITE 27
65 PENARTH ROAD
CARDIFF
CF10 5DL
UNITED KINGDOM
We want to say thank you for everyone who showed support.
Thanks from all the team!
Is it worth contacting/going to that person at that address for refund or not ?
EDIT: What is the likely relationship of that person to ingadget.co.uk
Thanks for any advice, never been in this situation before
Latest: Interesting I just did a Google search of the address and found didobuy.com which is another similar site selling tablets etc.
The funny thing about that is:
I looked up http://www.didobuy.com/ a couple of months back, and if I recall corectly they were operating from a trading estate in Slough, not Cardiff, which is where it says they are based on the About Us page:
http://www.didobuy.com/about-us
The main page says they are in Cardiff, the About Us page says Slough and they were somehow connected to Ingadget (apparently my phone was dispatched from Southampton)
Anyone any ideas ?
