Should’ve checked the reviews but…

Should’ve checked the reviews but looked like a legit site 😞 Placed an order and received no confirmation at all - nothing but the money was taken instantly. Over the weeks have tried emailing them but receive NOTHING at all back. Raised a fraud dispute with my credit card company and they refunded my money- THIS IS A SCAM! Don’t use them.

Scam

Made a pre-order from this company four years ago and never did receive what I paid for. They just take your money and ignore your emails.
Complete scam and definitely a company to avoid. Thieves.

Slow delivery but otherwise happy

I ordered the knife before reading the reviews and was concerned when I did read them after the knife delivery took a few weeks. However, the knife did arrive after about 4 weeks I would say. And the knife does seem really good. Relatively sturdy for such a small lightweight knife and really very sharp. Much better than a cheaper alternative copy design which I had previously bought. So the loss of a star is for the slow delivery but other than that I'm very pleased

UPDATE - item finally received!

UPDATE 10 August 2019
After several unanswered emails chasing this item ordered in May 2019, I sent a final email notice that unless I received a reply within 3 days I would contact my bank to instigate a merchant charge-back for the transaction on my credit card and would also request a fraud investigation. I subsequently contacted my card company who took all the details and agreed to put the transaction into dispute. Whether by coincidence or not, within a few days of this I received an email response from the supplier advising they intended shipping within the next week or so. The item finally arrived this morning (10th August) so I have advised my card company to drop their action.
It's a real shame this supplier is so poor at customer communications and takes so long to ship as the product itself deserves a five star review.
Original review:
If I could give zero stars, I would - wish I'd checked for reviews before ordering but had used before with no problems. Placed order, money taken from card straight away, months later still no goods and no response to emails other than standard "we'll reply within 7 days, longer if we're busy". I have contacted credit card company to report fraud and instigate charge-back. Why are these scammers still allowed to have a merchant credit card account?

How are they not being arrested?

Just like all the others below, I ordered a card sharp 4 direct from the Ian Sinclair website on December 2013! Guess what, it's still not here. Contacted them many times in the first year and there were lots of excuses so I persevered. Then they stopped replying... please be careful and do not give them your money

product not delivered, no way of contacting company

Purchased a card sharp, payment confirmed with order number in email, but not delivered since December 2015. Phone lines are out of service, email only results in auto out of office response.
No way of contacting company. Simple fraud.
Do not purchase anything from this site.

DONT USE THIS COMPANY

I, like others, ordered from this website (which looks so professional) and have had nothing from them - no goods and no response from emails. So basically AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!

PS. Trading Standards have been notified.

Fraud firm save your my don't order from them!!!!!!!!!

It's 1 year ago I ordered from them and have still not received anything, other than bad excuses about back order issues and changed payment providers, when I contacted them. Don't waste your money rather give it to charity.
If I could I would give zero or minus stars to this firm.

Use if you enjoy throwing money away.

Ordered a card sharp two, no where obvious does it state the average lead time unless you look in the FAQ'S.....

Asked for a refund and said "due to being within the 4-8week time period the order is still valid and I'll be notified when shipped".

Emailed back twice saying just give me my refund and yet to get a form of response. Awful company.

Paid for goods November 2014 since then had 34 excuses why I've still had no delivery?

Yes I bought and paid for an order with Iain Sinclair in November (3rd) last year and was told delivery would be 4-8 weeks. Early January 2015 came and I contacted them asking where was my order. This began a long and unproductive period of communication with the company. They had suffered a delay but had now recovered and my goods would be with me shortly. Nothing ever happened. After seven months of no delivery but many excuses I asked for a refund. This was agreed but despite countless messages I am now ignored. I would not wish my experience with this company onto anyone.
