A warning to potential buyers- Wrappers, an online company based in Oxfordshire (full address Gregory Estate, Cuxham, Oxfordshire OX49 5NL) seems legitimate at first. They custom-make ipod and laptop sleeves/cases. It even has been name-checked in several ipod forums/sites. So no problems, i thought. I ordered an ipod sleeve/case on 26th April 09 and paid £19.50 incl postage via google checkout. I have not received anything since, and all my emails have gone unanswered.
Going back to their website www wrappers.typepad.com I noticed a few things I missed earlier. There are no contact details on the site (there is an 'email me' link only), no address (the address i got is from the google checkout receipt), and no buying/returns policy.
Looking through yellow pages online, they are not even registered. So there is no phone number.
These are usually signs of a bad or fraudulent company.
I guess we sometimes learn the hard way. Hopefully no one else will make the same mistake. I will try to post on other consumer forums so hopefully word gets around.
