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processor has withdrawn their support for this online vendor due to non delivery of puchased items and non response to customers.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. |

Edward W. Thompson writes: To date I have received no refund and they claim the problem lies with their contractor Transx and not them! 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). -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |

I suppose it is the old adage when a deal seems to good to be true it usually is! Caveat empor I HAVE REFUNDED EVERYONE ON MYSIDE , IF I COULD MAKE THE REFUNDS GO QUICKER I WOULD THE MONEY IS SAT IN CYPERSPACE AS THEY SAY , IF YOU VISIT WWW.TRANSX.CO.UK YOU CAN TALK TO THEM LIVE AND CHECK YOUR REFUND IS ON THE WAY BACK REGARDS CORNWALL ELECTRICALS LTD |

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! |

Edward W. Thompson wrote: 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. -- *Can atheists get insurance for acts of God? * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

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. -- James. |

Wow your life must be really sad edward, my experience with people like you is sad, i have a healthy honest business, who has many happy customers get a life before i sue for slander 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
drugs began to take hold. I remember (Andrew Gabriel) saying something like: 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 as the sort of person someone would want to do business with? Sure it's not a forgery? -- Dave |

of your business anything like as effectively as you have just done yourself. Do you think you come across as the sort of person someone would want to do business with? -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] i have many of happy customers dont need silly mindless people like you or your friends to buy off us anyway, just coz we got a business and your all jealous ha ha Are they run by a 17 year old spotty kid, who's Daddy put all the money up for him? Certainly seem so from the coversation here! ![]() 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! -- James |

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? -- James |

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. |

It does make one wonder about the "Store Reviews" on the website. |

A google search on "Cornwall Electricals" is slightly amusing if you're bored;-) I see what you mean :-) Like I said earlier, it is always worth while doing a Google search on any online companies before parting with money. There are too many con merchants and dodgy dealers about. -- James |
