Dear Customer

We would like to take this opportunity to apologise once again to some of you regarding the delivery of your furniture and try to explain the reasons behind this.

When the orders were placed with the manufacturers, and of course in the planning stages prior to setting up the business, we were promised a manufacturing time that totalled 2 weeks. Once an order was placed, the money got sent to the manufacturers so they could begin the process of producing the furniture. However, as soon as they received payment, the time taken was 7 weeks for manufacturing, and is some cases up to 10 weeks. This explains why some of the furniture was taking a lot longer to arrive with us than anticipated and planned for. Couple this with the transportation delays from arriving at the port to our warehouse in Doncaster, and a few months passed before it arrived.

On the 17th December, ParcelForce (who were our main courier) cancelled our collections on the day, along with our contract, due to the size and weight of the parcels.

The following day, our payment provider and website host – Shopify – limited the access to our account due to the number of people we were refunding as the deliveries were falling outside of the time stated upon purchase. As of present, we have delivered 58% of all orders and refunded 27%.

Today, the 27th January, we still have no access to our website or payment database which makes it impossible to send orders, refund customers or even provide evidence for the fraudulent chargebacks made against us.

We would like to make you aware that if you have an outstanding order with us, or you are awaiting a refund, these will be processed as soon as Shopify grant us access again. We are not a fraudulent company and have been placed in this awful situation – for us as a company and also you as the customer you have trusted us to deliver your goods.

As the director of the company, I want to assure you that you will receive either your items, or a full refund, as soon as possible.

If you're awaiting delivery please email us with your order number, the items you ordered (preferably a screenshot and your delivery address) we can then arrange for your goods to be delivered).

My sincere apologies once again.

Yours sincerely,

Lee (Company Director)

Can't give a minus rating sadly

Can't give a minus rating sadly. Horrible business full of con artists. Ordered mid September & have fobbed us off ever since reply to the odd email I've sent pretending to offer a standard of customer service,. Googled the company address, based at Doncaster business park, went there today spoke with the manager of the business centre who decides what businesses operate there they were under a different name at this business centre and using Victor whatever as con. NEVER BUY FROM DISGRACEFUL WEBSITE. Cant anyway as it's been under 'construction' for about 5 month. People should be in prison. Could write all night about how angry I am.

SCAM

SCAM, do not use this company. Ordered 3 stools in September and despite initial assurances that our order was in their warehouse and ready to be despatched in December we have never received anything. There is now no way to contact anyone from the company.

Stay away!

If I could give this company a rating of zero I certainly would!
Do NOT order from them. It's a scam!
Ordered 2 chairs on 29th Sep payment was taken on 30th Sep and have only received 1 email since then telling me to expect my delivery by Dec 3rd 2019.
It is now 15th Jan 2020 and I have no chairs! No reply to my emails or Instagram messages either.
Be warned! Do not risk your money.

Part of order missing - no response to many emails

My chair finally arrived several months late but the matching stool that I ordered was not included. I have been emailing the support team there for months now and they have not responded with a status update or anything. This kind of service is so poor!

Buyer Beware

Do not use this company under any circumstances, we have been waiting for three chairs since October. They have taken the money but they refuse to send the goods. They wont respond to emails and we now have no alternative to go down the legal route to try and recover our hard earned cash.
This business is a disgrace please do not make the same mistake as us

Do not use this company

Do not use this company. Like many others the order I placed at the beginning of October has not been delivered. I have contacted my credit card company and they have agreed to refund me. It doesn't look like Victor Verace are accepting new orders, so if you are waiting on delivery I would consider seeking a refund from your card issuer/bank.

A terrible experience.

A terrible experience.

I have been buying for 25 years online and I have never been treated so badly. I can relate to all the negative feedbacks here. I had the same sequence of events...

Told 8 week delivery time, initial response and updates, then dead communication.

I made purchase via DEBIT card (not credit card) and I contacted the bank (BANK OF SCOTLAND) - I was luck because they managed to recover the money instantly in the same call.

Probably because others have contacted them.

I would urge you to try to recover the money.

I am also going to report this as a Fraud - please search "report limited company" and follow the link to the GOV website.

Please can we all do it. Thanks.

Seems like a total con!!

Seems like a total con. Ordered on 1 November and no contact at all from VV. I went to their website and it’s closed down and three emails to “customer support” have garnered no response. I’ve now started a s75 claim with my credit card company. I’ve also reported their Facebook page as a scam. I guess this is one of the problems of internet shopping!

Request your money back

I was holding out for some further communication from VV, hoping that they had just taken on too many orders and would eventually be giving some clarity on the situation and actioning.
1/10/19 - ordered bedside table told 8 weeks delivery
30/10/19 - received email saying it had been manufactured and on way to Doncaster. Also told I would receive order between 29/11-4/12
4/12/19 - no delivery received and no detail about tracking given
10/12/19 - emailed to request update on order
11/12/19 - received reply from ‘Jessie’ to say they had unexpected errors with their shipping company and all the backlog was to be dealt with in the next 2-4 weeks.
10/01/20 - no tracking received. Emailed for update and I haven’t received anything

The above does seem fairly plausible for a new company if they had received a huge amount of orders and could not cope with the demand. However, I’ve not received any comms for a month now and I’ve been watching this page weekly. I’ve been on companies house, like others, and can see that director is Lee Belcher, born 92. Seems to have been a director of a couple of businesses’ which have eventually been struck off (. L J B SUPPLIES LIMITED, EMILIE LIMITED). I’ve looked him up on linked in and he has a new profile for every business he’s associated with, and works with Emma Humpreys who was also a director of Emilie limited and doesn’t appear to have much else going on.

So, even if the company wasn’t a scam, I don’t see how I will ever receive my order. They aren’t taking new orders (website has been ‘updating’ for about a month), and they aren’t shipping anything (probably due to cash flow issues).

I had 120 days to raise an issue with my credit card co so I’ve now processed that and will at lease receive the money back.
