Do not buy anything from Valorum Art…

Do not buy anything from Valorum Art and its main representative Juan Caido. The company is a small auction house that cuts corners and misleads its customers.
They are rude and arrogant.

When my purchase was complete and the export papers were returned to Valorum Art they refused to refund the VAT demanding arbitrary documents that are not relevant for the refund! When I asked to provide legal grounds for their requirements they simply went silent and stopped answering my questions. This is a small fraudulent firm best to be avoided.

Bonjour,

Nous regrettons que la procédure légale de remboursement de TVA vous ait semblé complexe. La réglementation suisse impose la preuve d’exportation ainsi qu’un document confirmant l’assujettissement à la TVA dans le pays de résidence.

Vous avez fourni le document d'exportation. C'est très bien mais cela est insuffisant. Vous avez un profil inscrit en Suède à titre privé, nous attendons donc ce document. La Tva facturée est uniquement sur notre commission et non sur la totalité de l'objet. Lisez votre facture c'est bien noté, le montant de TVA est inclus dans les 25% de frais. cela donne environ CHF 250.- en attente.
L'argent a été préservé, on parle de quelques centaines de francs et ils sont là à disposition,
il suffit juste de nous envoyer le document. Vous nous avez menacé, vous avez la volonté de nous causer du tort selon les différents messages écrits envers moi et mon équipe. Cela est totalement disproportionné. Vous n'êtes pas sur un ring de boxe ou une patinoire de hockey. Vous devez vivre des moments difficiles pour avoir ce caractère et cette volonté. Vous me trouvez arrogant car je vous demande un document. Vous avez été insultant et vindicatif, que voulez vous comme réponse.
Nous ne causons du tort à personne et respectons les règles qui nous sont imposées, nous vous demandons juste de faire de même.

Tant que le dernier document n'est pas fourni, nous ne pouvons légalement pas procéder au remboursement. L'export c'est ok même s'il n'est pas encore confirmé. Il n'y a pas de souci sur ce point. Il y a juste un petit effort à faire encore car nous ne pouvons pas inventer ce document d'asujetissement ou de déclaration d'importation.

Vous faites du commerce à titre privé, je ne discute pas de cela au contraire. la plupart de nos clients achetent et vendent des montres comme hobby et passion, nous ne jugeons pas de cela.
Il manque juste l'assujetissement à titre privé ou profesionnel de votre pays en Suède, selon votre profil. Vous avez dit à mon équipe que vous étiez d'origine ukrainienne et que vous y alliez.
Selon votre profil instagram vous faites beaucoup de commerce en Europe, c'est tout à votre honneur. Tenez nous au courant de votre réelle situation. Nous avons notre contrôle TVA dans 3 semaines. Votre cas sera exposé.

Nous restons volontiers disponibles pour vous accompagner dans la constitution du dossier. Nous demandons, je demande Un seul document. Est ce de l'arrogance, je ne pense pas.

Cordialement.

I was felt terribly bullied and offended by Juan Caido, alledgedly the owner of the Valorum Art auction house in Switzerland.

I purchased a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace from Valorum Art. After payment, I have not received a "paid" invoice or post-payment pick-up instructions from the house. After I contacted them some time later, they told me to pay a storage fee, which was very high, even though they declared in the purchase email that the storage fee was CHF25 only. After I expressed my dissatisfaction, I started getting midnight calls from the auction house. After I asked them to communicate by email and not to call me at night, the first thing they did was start giving me calls and texts (in very poor English), calling me "crazy" and saying that they prefer not to serve people with mental health issues. Needless to say, it was the day I celebrated my father's 80th birthdayso the whole day, which meant to be a big event, was ruined.. After complaining to Drout auction, who firmly said the storage fee is CHF25, the valorum Art told me it is CHF150 and kept my item hostage. After I agreed to pay under the threat that they would sell it to someone else, the storage fee increased to CHF 175. I had to pay. Even after that, they have not sent me the "paid invoice" which is a must-have item for any shipping company to organise pick up. Finally, I received my item, but I never felt so miserable, ripped off, and humiliated in my whole life of buying luxury items from European auction houses. Now I hate the item and can not wear it. I would not recommend to buy anything from them at any price, as they will fully negatively charge you emotionally and they storage pricing is just a randomly picked number.
