I too was charged (the wrong amount £47, not £40 as per my order) and have had nothing.

Emailed yesterday querying this and why I have been charged and got no response. Emailed again today.

I also tried calling the numbers on the invoice and on the site and they appear to be disconnected. Its not looking good.

Notice how their site STILL says they have stock :mad:

All the ANPR UK numbers that I can find are dead. Their whois record lists this:

Their registrant and admin contact is the same. I called 01606 833155 to find that they claim to be "Business Solutions" who have never heard of James Merrington or KComputers.

The ANPR UK Limited listing at companies house gives the following:

ANPR (UK) LIMITED

CARTREF, BALL LANE

KINGSLEY

CHESHIRE

WA6 8HP

Company No. 04913502

Does that look like the same address as the registrant to anyone else?

Where do we go from here? This looks a lot like a company that is either folding or about to fold and is hiding from their customers. Is anyone close to Kingsley in Cheshire could go and knock on the door?

EDIT:

A search on that postcode brings up this hit:

To All Customers

I would like to aplogise for the delay in supplying your Sandisk 8GB MicroSD, Unfortuantely demand has out stripped supply and we have been awaiting a further shipment. I would like to assure all customers that all outstanding orders will be shipped by Friday 14th December without fail.

We appreciate the many emails that we are receiving at this time of year and apologise for the delay in answering them.

Jon - your company sucks

Hi Jon,

I've just e-mailed you with exactly the same thing in mind as the poor people in this great forum, although I initially found damning things about you in another one. How do we know you're not just lying AGAIN!?!?

I can't get a response from any of the following numbers:

08448405610

01606835864

08448405630

08458687191

Why is this Jon? Is this because you're a scamming scheming little r-tard? Is it because you're company doesn't actually have any cards or do any sort of normal trading yet you charge people what you feel for stuff and never send it out?

Just for the record for everyone in here as well, the number 01606835155 doesn't have anything to do with ANPRUK anymore and I woke some poor lady up this morning so don't call that one. However, you will be pleased to know that Jon has a direct e-mail address: j.flatman@anpruk.com

Hope you guys have fun with this, not that it will probably get anywhere since this seems to be all one big con. I'll let you know if I see my £47 again or a shiney [WORKING Jon, WORKING] MicroSD card anytime soon.

Other than that, anyone got any ideas how we can report this and get them shut down? I don't think it's very good that you can openly find over 50 people who have had the same problem on the net...

Cheers

I am more than happy to receive emails from any of our customers with feedback, as we will actively use it to improve our service.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] stuart_f:
Here's some feedback:

Stop lying to your customers and hiding behind fake phone numbers. Your website STILL shows the 8gb cards as in stock despite you trying to claim on here that you are having "difficulties". You are clearly scamming to try and get as much money before Christmas as possible before folding and running with our cash.

I'll believe the 14th shipping date when i see it.

DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY. They are crooks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] aliburns:
The website has been showing as "In Stock" all week, Jon. Order tracking has been showing as "Allocating Stock" all week. If the website said "Out Of Stock - Expecting delivery on xx/xx/xx" and order tracking for those who were still happy to order an out of stock item said "Awaiting Stock - Expecting delivery on xx/xx/xx" the customer experience would be greatly improved. As it stands many will have ignored other websites because they either showed "Out Of Stock" as you have, in reality, been or they were also showing "In Stock" but at a higher price.

It would also improve the experience of your customers if the advertised phone number were to be a continuously working one and for the ring back facility to result in a ring back. The phone number does now appear to work which is an improvement on earlier in the week though the recorded response sounds as if it is for ickle.co.uk.

Looking forward to the special discounts for forum members as a gesture of good faith!

Thanks for your suggestions, all of which i am going to put into action as soon as possible. I will ensure that a discount code is made available to all forum users ASAP.

The item should have been set to out of stock, something that i now have our development team working on.

I can now confirm that the cards are definately going to be shipped no later that Friday 14th December.

Please dont hesitate to let me know if i can help in any other way.

Thought I would add my name to the list of those who have ordered Micro SD cards from onlinememory.co.uk (in this case a 4GB SDHC Kingston) and have yet to hear anything.

Ordered it on the 4th December and it says processing. Phone is dead, Online chat is dead, call back never came, e-mails unanswered. I'm just glad I paid by credit card. Have since ordered a 2gb from Play just to cover myself (it's a present for my brother for xmas). Website still says in stock though.

Well, Jon has held true to his word and although it took a lot of flaming and e-mails, he appears to have cracked the whip in the right places and sorted things out. I've attached a picture of what tracking orders should look like if yours have been sent out too.

Jon - nice job on getting things sorted; I just hope that if people choose to buy from you in the future that you either put a "Ring to check availablility" sign on the site (with a working telephone number as that's always useful), or make sure your systems tie together better.

Here's to hoping that if it's broken the returns department is a bit better ;)

Latest on my order with sandiskshop.co.uk

Well, I decided to cancel my order last Tuesday (11th December), which I did via email. I got a reply confirming that my order was cancelled and that this would be "passed to account for you to be refunded".

I have checked my credit card account this morning (17th December), and I still haven't been refunded the £47. So, I have raised his with my credit card provider, who have refunded me the £47 and will now take this up with sandiskshop.co.uk.

My advice: stay well clear of them! They said they had it in stock when they clearly didn't, they charged my card without getting the item in stock never mind shipping it to me, and now they haven't refunded my card even though they said they would! This is as clear a case of a bunch of wasters as I have ever seen. :mad:

Any ideas ?

Well I cancelled my order with onlinememory.co.uk today, though having had no reply to my three previous e-mails I don't really expect them to either acknowledge the cancellation or actually cancel the order.

I've spoken to my credit card company who have registered my concerns and should anyone actually charge my card or try to send me out a card either in 24hrs time or six months from now they have said they will refund the money and take it up with ANPR.

What a strange way to run a company. I had assumed that they were going broke and were therefore either taking the money and running or just on their way out altogether. However the fact that some people here have got cards suggests that they are still a going concern. Why would you:

A: Have a phone number on your website that is dead?

B: Simply not reply to your customers telling them that something is out of stock and instead have them plaster the net with bad publicity (google for onlinememory.co.uk or anpr and you'll find similar threads and reviews to this one quite quickly)

C: Find the time to post in the odd forum post like this but not actually address all those other customers who are waiting for replies having sent you an e-mail direct?

Just bizarre.

Well with ebay, it's always good to do some research before you buy anything from anyone. Look at the persons feedback. Have they sold the item in the past, or similar items. I just bought a 8gb micro sdhc for my Hermes for $90 shipped from ebay. So far that's the best price I could find short of having someone go to HK and buy one for me for $83. Even then, I would feel like I need to compensate them for their time. So yeah, $90 on ebay.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] 246810:
I've noticed that most people here with an 8GB SDHC memory card have the class 4 only. I thought that class 6 was the highest and fastest speed available on memory cards. If so, is there anywhere where I can get a class 6 8GB memory card, and not the class 4?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] kms108:
the class 6 rating on the memory card does not indicate it is the fastest, it's just means it has a minimum write speed, the class 2 and class 4 can have a write speed that will surplus that of the class 6.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] 246810:
Okay, so although the class 6 memory cards have a higher minimum writing speed than the classe 2 and calss 4 speeds, class 2 and class 4 memory cards have the potential to reach or excede the write speed of a class 6 memory card, although their minimum writing speeds are less than class 6 memory cards.

Is that correct?

Hi everyone

I know this person, I used to help with Radio Scouting and him, and his dad and mum, Hilary and Graham, as for Adam Forshaw, he too is a member of Radio Scouting in Cheshire. Unfortunatly I fell out with them - I'd rather not say anymore about this as I could risk libel and I could damage the image of scouting too.

I can confirm that the Cartref address you have got is correct, I only found this place as I was thinking of going walking with the ramblers and wasn't too sure whether the walk started where near to where they live, and I really don't want to go anywhere near them (I knew they lived at Cartref in Kingsley, but couldn't remember the lane name). Unfortunatly the walk starts on the same lane so I'm going to give it a miss.
