Hello,
I recently ordered a light fitting from electriclightcompany.co.uk and,
although I received an order acknowledgement e-mail, I have heard
nothing more. I have e-mailed them and left phone messages on their
order line querying the state of the order and still have had no
responses.

I could find no negative comments on this group before ordering. Can
anyone confirm that they exist or that there might be problems?

Regards, Colin

.... nothing useful. The registrant could be someone not linked to the
company at all, and it's entirely feasible for a company to go between
renewal dates. It has been perhaps a year since the domain was renewed.

The have the same address, so I think there's a fair chance that they
are related.

True, but it does at least give you another line of investigation.

Thanks - I should have said that I have the contact details including
name from whois lookup but there are no replies and I was enquiring to
see if anyone else had either had a problem or had been supplied
satisfactorily.

To follow-up my own question:
I have now received my goods quite satisfactorily. It seems they have
been in the middle of moving premises and, because there was a query
about the expiry date on my credit card which needed manual
intervention, my purchase was 'temporarily lost'.

Thanks for the various pointers. Now resolved.
