Cornwall Electricals Caution
 
Just a warning re Cornwall Electricals. TransX their credit card
processor has withdrawn their support for this online vendor due to
non delivery of puchased items and non response to customers. This
online vendor' seems to be very close to fraudulent practices and in
my opinion is best avoided.

To elaborate on the story, Cornwall Electricals offered to sell me a
Microwave oven at a very fair price. I paid them using a credit card
and they offered to deliver in one week. First 'problem' was the
invoice they sent me itemised a camera as the purchased item. I
corrected them by telephone but did not receive a revised invoice.

Cornwall Electricals, or their contractor (TransX) charged my credit
card immediately ( sharp practice). A week plus a day ( I think) I
visited Cornwall Electricals web site and noted that 'Due to volume of
orders, goods will dispatched two, weeks after order' (or words to
that effect).

I tried to call Cornwall Electricals but they were not answering. I
emailed with a question about when I was to expect delivery and
received a reply saying they were having 'problems' with their credit
card processor and I would be receiving a refund within 72 hours. I
could pay them with cash to receive the items ordered! Alarm bells
began to ring.

To date I have received no refund and they claim the problem lies with
their contractor Transx and not them! Cornwall Electricals don't seem
to understand the basics that they as the 'prime' have total
responsibility for the transaction including any default by their
contractors.

Just be warned, do not give your business to these people. They may
not be dishonest but my experience suggests they are to be avoided. I
suppose it is the old adage when a deal seems to good to be true it
usually is! Caveat empor

I take it that you've lodged a claim with your card company?

Is the amount involved £100? If so, they have joint liability with
the supplier.

You haven't given a timeline with your story, so I don't know
if you've given other parties reasonable time to resolve issues.
Just call your card company, explain, and ask for a chargeback.
For a non-responding retailer, it can take 60 days. However,
you will probably find that your card company won't charge
interest on that transaction during that period (but do check
this, don't just assume it).

Yes. I have spoken to my card company (MBNA) who told me they
would/could do nothing until 30 days has elapsed from the time of the
default. This is despite the parties (Cornwall Electricals and
TransX) agreeing by email that a refund is appropriate. It seems that
as the matter will come to a head before my next credit card bill is
due, I will not be out of pocket (at least I hope so). I understand
from MBNA they have paid TransX so TransX or someone enjoys the
benefit of an interest free loan! Nice if you can get it!

What Cornwall Electricals seems not to understand is that their
customers agreement is with them not TransX. The responsibility and
liability for reimbursement rests wholly with Cornwall Electricals,
their customers have no agreement with TransX who have been introduced
into the deal by Cornwall Electricals.

I'm not so sure when paying by credit card. There is often a problem over
the time taken for refunds. Of course a decent vendor wouldn't debit the
card until the goods were actually despatched.

My experience in trying to deal with Cornwall Electricals was bad and
I would not do business with that organization again and would advise
others to investigate their options before embarking on a transaction
with Cornwall Electricals.

There are many web based businesses that provide excellent service,
why do business with one that doesn't?

You have obviously never heard the saying "When in a hole
stop digging".

I have never bought anything from Cornwall Electricals, and
after seeing your replies in this group I doubt I ever will.
Many people do a Google groups search for names of online
businesses before trading with them to check if anyone has
had any problems with them, or if they have a bad
reputation.

Google never forgets, and a search for "Cornwall
Electricals" is likely to ring warning bells to a number of
your prospective future customers. You just can't call
unhappy customers "idiots". You also spoke about your
business being close to bankruptcy in another thread - not a
word that instils confidence in potential customers either.

You know what? No customer could have damaged the image
of your business anything like as effectively as you
have just done yourself. Do you think you come across

You might care to comment on the observations made in several forums
about the business, such as he

http://www.thedvdforums.com/forums/s...d.php?t=500813
http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6402662


Your website used to state:

"Cornwall Electricals - Penzance. Founded in 2008, Cornwall Electricals
has many years experience in the Electrical Goods sector"

Now it states "Cornwall Electricals has been established since 2005"

And yet the company was incorporated just this month:

Date of Incorporation: 11/02/2008

How does a business established for just a few weeks qualify as having
"many years experience"?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

From his language I'd guess nearer 13 not 17. I think we've
all been had by a kid playing troll games who probably
hasn't got anything to do with Cornwall Electricals. I
wouldn't be surprised if Cornwall Electricals doesn't even
know this thread exists!

This thread is getting freaky and going from bad to worse.
People who have never posted on this group before just seem
to be popping out of thin air posting messages saying how
wonderful Cornwall Electricals are. Interesting that they
all seem to be from people with Hotmail addresses, posted
via Google groups and have the same grammatical structure.
Could almost be the same person making up fake good reports.

Cornwall Electricals are starting to sound more and more
scary to me, more dodgy by the minute. What is next a
endorsement from the Pope?

Not given the content of the website. It's clear that some text is
written by someone with a good command of English and much is written by
someone with the same grammatical cock-ups as the person writing here.

The lowest watermark of a business is when someone starts trying to
forge positive reviews. It does make one wonder about the "Store
