Review of babies247.com

I ordered two Britax car seats in October at a cost of over £200, needless to say the order wasn't delivered in the time frame they advertised although the money was taken straight away. We received the standard email from the company advising that the order would be delayed but sent out in ten days. Ten days came and went but the order wasn't delivered. After numerous emails, which went unanswered, and phone calls which seem to divert to a fake ...

I have also had bad dealings with babies247.com. I ordered a car seat in August 2008, they took payment a few days later. I was told that I would get my order within a week. When it still hadn't come, I called them, had trouble getting a hold of anyone on their customer service number. I called their Southampton store and they said that the internet department was in an office upstairs. I got put through to them and they promised my car seat by the ...
...to the Southampton shop and was put through to the office upstairs (I found this the only way to get through to them, otherwise always an answering machine). I was again promised that I would get the car seat by the next week, apparently their supplier was having difficulty with stock. They said that they would receive the seat on Wednesday and would courier it up to me overnight and I would get it on Thursday. Thursday came and went, still no car ...

...on here have bought from babies247.com and only afterwards did a google search to read their reviews? More fool you, I'm afraid. The local newspaper has reported that the store has temporarily closed its doors, but the owner did not say why specifically other than they plan to reopen within days. They haven't been 'suspended' as one reviewer wrote, whatever that means! Either way, sounds dodgy and I'd be surprised if they manage to stay in business. ...

Review of babies247.com

I too have had an extremely poor experience with babies 247, which is extremely similar to many other people who have written reviews on this site. I too purchased items with this company, but decided almost immediately but unfortunately after payment to cancel my order. After 30 days from my promised refund and after many calls, emails I too received the standard email stating that the company is unable to honour many orders. I had paid by debit ...
...my card is a visa card - just a tip for any one else who has been ripped off by this company. The websites home page is now closed, but without too much difficulty you can still buy items on the site. This company gives internet trading a bad name and should be shut down ...

I ordered an East Coast Combination Highchair on the 30th Sept, they took the money from my credit card immediately, got a nice confirmation e-mail saying it will be dispatched within 24 hrs and delivered within 7 days. Checked the status on the website every day since and remained as "pending". Sent an e-mail to the company, no response, called the phone number (numerous times!) -no answer. My husband checked the reviews and came across this website ...

I cancelled my order and should get a refund to my CC in 7 days. Fingers crossed!

Please, Please, Please do not ever use this company. My partner and I ordered a Mamas and Papas Nursey Set and Mattress on the 7th August. We like everyone else were offered 48hr delivery. It is now 27th November and after numerous e-mails and unanswered phone calls we have just got our money back.. May I add we had to go through our credit card company as Babies 247 (JK UK) would not pay up. This company will not deliver or pay your money back. ...
...months of misery that we have had to endure. Don't be tempted by the low cost offers, just buy things elsewhere. If you need any further proof then read the other 60+ reviews, and I don't think you will find a good one. Thanks for reading, hope this can help in your decision making process... ...

Review of babies247.com

We are having similar problems to the rest of the many posts here having ordered a travel system from Babies247. Normally I would not do anything about this other than get my money back one way or another. However in this case I know how much stress loosing this much money and still not having the required products has caused my heavily pregnant wife. Like many other people, we can't afford to loose this much money at a time like this and it is ...
...goods from somewhere else while we try to get our money back from these people. I think it's about time to get this site looked at seriously by trading standards. I have had some initial legal advice and am told that these practices may even class as deception in some cases, so there may be a cause to get the police involved. I'm happy to do the leg work and get the authorities to investigate seriously, but I need evidence to take it further. ...

Review of babies247.com

My story is very much the same as everyone's here. I placed an order for a graco travel system (on 18th Oct) from what at first seems to be a very professional looking web site. The company then took my money - straight away and sent me an email confirmation stating that the goods would be delivered within 7-14 days. I waited..and waited.. I emailed..and finally (31st Oct) I got their typical "macro" response: "We apologise for the delay with your ...
...We apologise for any inconvenience caused. " Which from what I've read here, is the exact response everyone gets. So the waiting continued..and I decided to look up reviews..albeit a little too late (Lesson learned!) After seeing so many bad reviews I wrote an angry email on the 6th Nov...which was never replied to... I wrote a further email on the 18th Nov after contacting my bank and researching a little on Distance Selling Regulations, threatening ...

I completely agree, AVOID this company at all costs. I ordered a baby activity centre in August and they sent me email after email telling me my order would be with me within 10 to 14 days meanwhile they took payment. In the end I cancelled the order but am still waiting for my refund. I cannot get through by telephone and they will not respond to emails. Unlike the previous poster I used a debit card and do not know if i will see my money again, AVOID!! ...

This company has now been "suspended". We are still waiting for a refund for goods ordered 4 months ago and after numerous letter and even a solicitors letter they have informed us they are unable to give us a refund and we must ask our credit card company for a "charge back" Totally disgusting - never seen/experienced a company like this one - stay well clear. ...

ANOTHER BAD EXPERIENCE!!!! No communication as to stock. Cancelled order on the 15th.August as they did not fulfill their promise to inform me that the item was not in stock. After 30 I days did not receive the promised refund, and finally, after placing the matter in the hands of my credit card company,received my refund 2 months later on the 15th.November. It seems they make a habit of this practise, definitely would never use babies247 again. ...

AVOID THIS COMPANY!!! I placed an order on 6th October 2008, for a car seat. Babies 247 dedited my account instantly. My order didn't arrive. A week later I had to email them to find out what was going on. I was told the item was out of stock but would be in in ten days. Fifteen days later: no email and no car seat. I emailed again and was given an apology by Graham Short (again) and an offer to cancel. I cancelled on the 2nd Nov, and now on the ...
