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 a real problem finding the money again to purchase the 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.
As a first step, I would ask that anyone who has had a problem with this company get in touch with me at shutdownbabies247@live.co.uk.
Pregnancy is a hard enough time for couples as it is, and this odious little company should not be allowed to prey on people at such an important time.

Excellent review. We are also owed £449 by www.babies247.com. Victims of this fraud must stand together to see action taken by the authorities against them.

Why not contact the other members and ask if you can show their reviews to the trading standards. Witchy
Advantages: Cheap; helps to get you up to speed with consumer law! Disadvantages: Not cheerful; no communication; no service; lucky to get goods in the end
