adaptervendor.co.uk - is this a reliable store?

Posted 3rd Feb 2022
Hi, I am new here, I hope I am posting in the correct group :-)
Please can someone help - have you had any experience with adaptervendor.co.uk? I ordered an Asus adapter from that website 4 days ago and now I am wondering whether that store exists at all or is it just a website to trick people into paying for stuff that doesn't exist.
They were supposed to ship my order within 24 hours, but when I login to my account it is still showing as 'processing'. I emailed them and no one replied to me. And there's no telephone number, no company details, no way to check them out.
Has anyone had anything deliverred by them?
Thanks!

    Did you pay via paypal?

    Wouldn't touch them with a bargepole personally.

    They sell over 122,000 adapters. The address is a flat?

    There's no contact number.

    A quick Google search suggests they use the London address as a fake/holding address. They are based in China and despatch from China.

    They're slated on various review websites.

    Claim from PayPal and be more careful buying online in future.

    I suggested another member should consider avoiding this website three months ago.
    I haven't changed my opinion.

    It may be prudent to actively seek to implement whatever payment method protection may be available to you, if any.

    AndyRoyd - yes I've seen your earlier post and this rang some alarm bells for me, thanks for the warning.

    And yes that residential London address looks ridiculous for this size of store when you look it up on Google Maps.

    Thank you all for responding so quickly. I have paid via Paypal so I'm going to claim through the Buyer Protection.

    I found another charger on Ebay, fingers crossed for my other purchase

    Appreciate your help guys :-)

    If you funded the (non)purchase by card and want to turn the screw:
    bypass the laughable PayPal Buyer Poortection and go straight to chargeback via your card issuer,
    as doing so means the non-supplier will be hit with an additional £14 PP CB fee (assuming the non-supplier is still using the same PP account as when you donated the cash).

    Will possibly (aka likely) have to wait the usual 14days (non)delivery timeframe whatever route you take,
    as payment protection organisations have greater faith than victims that something may actually be delivered.

    If your non-supplier turns out to be an almost-clever non-supplier you can expect to receive receipted delivery of something:
    common substitute goods are costume jewellery or used toilet paper. Nice.
