CricketDirect Scammers?
« on: May 08, 2013, 12:46:23 PM »

OMG the blood is draining from my face....

Ive just placed a GBP 475 (incl. shipping to Aus) order online with them..... >:(

I've never been scammed before and on the off chance decided to google reviews about them.....holy s**t.

I'm genuinely scared now.....it took me a long time to save up the cash and I only ordered from them because it was one of the few sites with such a big range of equipment and had all the gear I wanted on one site....

Are these guys scam artists for sure? Am I to expect saying goodbye to my money? Will I never see the beautiful kit advertised on their quite snazzy website?

I checked them out on facebook and they've got 15000 odd likes....what the hell????

They are not a scam, but from what I know, they are a pain in the (No Swearing Please) to deal with mate, so don't fret. I am sure a couple of lads on here will be able to advise better, but I can say you won't have been scammed.

Out of interest, what have you ordered?

I think the summary would be that you MAY get the goods you have ordered, or you MAY get a late refund.  You won't be scammed, but you may feel disappointed with the whole experience.

Chances are, if the goods were a bargain t hen they won't have them.... if they were just good priced goods then you may be alright. Don't panic, they're honest... eventually. Just hugely inept!

Why didn't you look at the reviews before you placed your order?  ???

Sorry about the swearing, was in shock  :-[

I pretty much ordered a whole kit including a kitbag  :( If it (or part of it) ever arrives I'll post some pics for sure!

Thanks guys, really appreciate being able to talk to someone about it and getting such quick responses is fantastic.

Cheers,

Bala
