Advice needed about a company
 

I am thinking of buying some products from www.alibaba.com. I contacted them but the company I will be ordering with is www.thevisakm.com. As i am spending over £3000 is there anyway of finding out if these companies are legit as they based in India, especially www.thevisakm.com?

Used to order and purchase from the India amongst many other countries when based in Dubai.

Buyer beware - always!

Look to what sort of comeback you will have if there is a problem with receiving the goods or the good not being what you expect. Also what you are buying may be counterfeit/poor quality copies of what you want.


Also do not be drawn into a sense of comfort by a well made and presented website. We used to 'offshore' website design to India because of the reasonable quality and a cheapo price. Not particularly creative but able to produce working and well presented sites.

... and the 40 Thieves?"

Caveat Emptor!

This is what I am ordering. I have some that look excactly the same for about half the price that I got from the UK. I need some more but can't find them in the UK.

Contact a shipping company who will be able to handle everything for you including insurance incase your goods don't turn up etc...

I used Arends Shipping who were very helpful and will handle everything

Mamoon - How do they work, do they contact the seller on my behalf? I've emailed the seller and he wants me to pay him £3000. Would I pay this £3k directly to Arends?

is this a continual thing you will be doing?

Fly there sort it out , fly back

job done :thumb:

that's what I do, and so far (touch wood) have only lost about £1k and I do a lot of similar sort of business, I lost this money intentionally so as to fix a problem.

is the £3k a deposit or down payment? whats what? how many cubics of stuff?

It's not a continual thing and flying to India isn't an option. The £3000 is full payment for the items. I haven't a clue how many cubics but I require 25 candelabras of these http://thevis.tradeindia.com/Exporte...e-Holders.html and 25 similiar ones.
