This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I heard about IPS TRADE jebel ali branch that they are treating employees like a slave as most of them asians.They are not paying them due benifits and breaking jebel ali rules and law.One of their employee left as manager took his money from company and kept in his pocket.No one is staying in this company becuase of bad reputation with client and vendors.If you want to try call staff and ask for manager you will see how many question they will ask like a police enquiry.

This company has a horrible track record and give all Chinese material at EUropean prices. Their delivery is horrible, if they tell you 3 weeks be sure it will take them 18 weeks and they give useless excuses. They have all Chinese staff in their Holland branch and you can never speak to Gerard Zondervan, the owner. Even if you can the useless fellow that he is, he wont do anything to speed up deliveries. Trust me people, to all of you who are planning to buy from them due to long forward deliveries from other suppliers these guys are the worst and if you think they can give it faster you are in for a shock. They have a horrid reputation and they are cheif cause for delay of projects. Be warned, for the good of all of you, this is no personal rivalry, this is a fact that IPS Trade in any branch of the world are a bunch of cheats and inefficient lazy idiots. Dont buy from them and the few good reviews that you see here are posted by those idiotic employees in their office and the owner himself because instead of concentrating on their work they are busy playing around on the net and have enough time to put these useless replies.

most of the bad things about ips are totally true about treatment their employees, etc. they are the big liars! These people will get what they deserve very soon. Its like a boomerang but on return you get more. I ask God to give them what they deserve for the spoiling and breaking people's life. These stupid dutch think that they can treat people like the slaves, I saw all that with my eyes and they made poor philipina girls to call them Sir! lol he is just a piece of ### who lies always but not Sir, for sure! there is also very ugly dutch woman who are always angry and nervous bcoz nobody wants her lol. she is so jealous when she sees beautiful lady. Now im sure if person ugly outside, he must be ugly inside, tht proved this. i will post more about this.

this site is an example how easy you can spread rumors about a company, the site does not verify anything.
I think I will post a memo that all the employees of Coca Cola or McDonald are beaten up every morning to make soda and good burgers !
I am working in Dubai and a friend of one of the asian ladies working there, ofcourse sometimes they might have a bad day, but the same happens in friendship and family, you have good an bad moments.
My friend is already there for almost 5 years, they helped her with personal problems, so in my opinion they did not have to help her but they did, so honestly I do not think all the above is correct, but that is my opinion and we live in a free world, free of speech.

IPS is a very terrible company. They have duped a Nigerian local businessman of over$75, 000. Gerard Zondervan is a monster. Don't let his outside looks deceive you. You don't really want to see his inside. That man has no compassion, pity, or empathy for others. He is what I call a HUMAN MONSTER - DRIVEN BY GREED, ENSLAVING OTHERS AND PRIDE IN TAKING OTHERS WEALTH. You are cursed Gerard Zondervan and I hope you burn in hell when you die.

Ya ya, this is how you treat your customers and business contacts, and I am sure you are a person from IPS itself .If someone tells something against you, you get boiled over and give her all the insults .I saw in the page before, you insulted the persons wrote against you by very bad language .Sounds like Bush is runing IPS, he was used to say 'be with us or against us'! No one has the rights to comment or says his/her thoughts.

I think IPS TRADE should take legal action against those who dont know how to write and discuss business related issues.This type of language shows background and culture of person.If you are weak or can not face truth then frustation come out.

Every one can observe that some persons are not talking on real issues related to business, quality, services etc of IPS TRADE, they are more intrested about offending individual by talking about family, wife, girl friends, sex etc.etc..This forum is to raise concern about business complain not to defame others.Also some one from IPS should respond only real issues raised by CUSTOMERS(If real) and shall address issues to the point.Every one has right to raise issues about company but only real issues.Other hand IPS should respond issues stright forward rather than offending with personal comments.Other should also raise real issues here not to defame company.CUSTOMER should raise issue with reference no., order no., project name etc and shall provide contact tel no.so that IPS can address probelms.

Nice Stories Mr Rahid Bin Saad, I have heard that 1 person only was fired 3 years ago because he was having his own company while working in IPS as a manager.

Furthermore IPS has just expanded with 2 new branches and is planning to built a new office and warehouse of nearly 8000m2, not really the thing you would expect when a company has a instable financial background.
Maybe you should just pull the published accounts in Holland which are available by the Chamber of Commerce and you will see that they show healthy profits for the last 5 years in a row.

Anyway I was planning not to take part in this "gossip"forum where you can drag, gossip, make false statements about any competitor, your neighbour, your wife, te president, the pope and anybody in the world you dislike, you just start a falso rumour and make the story goes around.

I have a tip for the forum masters, next time when you modify your forum, only allow people to post after they have made a profile with a working e-mail adress, after filling in the profile sent a link to the given mail adress.
Only place the comment of new complaint after the link has been accepted and the mail is verified, only than this will mean something now it is just crap and gossip.

Oh jah Rashid bin Saad I have heard you are homosexual, your whole family have told me that including your lover mr Sarfarz, who is gay as well.

I have heard many of the employees in The Netherlands office have also been fired and that was done by the top manager. All of them were accused of betrayal, doing business on their own while they were in the ips-trade office and such allegations. I am also told by several people who are still working for ips-trade that none of them actually did the accusations and the top manager just thought that they did. He sounds having paranoia, every night having nightmares that everybody around him is a traitor.

I also got a credit report surveyed by a reputable institute for ips-trade anonymously send to me last month and it clearly shows that ips-trade has a profound financial instability as well as lack of management efficacy. Given the market situation and what we can see about the company there is a good chance that this company wont last for a long time and will be soon bankrupted. Now if you want to lose your money in spite of several warnings, do business with ips-trade.

Funny is that I have never seen that a "counselor" is not able to write his own job title correctly. Whoever you are "khalid", stop threatening innocent employees that have done nothing but expressing their disastrous experiences with this ips-trade. Their words are not in any way against the Confidentiality Agreement they might have signed with ips-trade.

And hey! you are in no position to threat people by deportation (if you mean by “expile”! I think you tried to say “Expelled”). Anyways, UAE is a country of law, no one is above the law here. Write your full name and contact details here and I know what to do.

Seems this post is a forum for old employers trying to give their previous company a final kick on the ###.
Nobody knows for what reason people or leaving a company, that could be by themselves, fired because of several reasons etc.
What I however know very well is that every company has secrecy terms and conditions in their employment contracts and when these are breached that they can claim severe amounts from these ex employees, I recommend that IPS in Dubai takes some legal advise and goes behind these employees and get them prosecuted at Dubai court and afterwards expiled from the Gulf as these comments are simply not done in any business.

I am a legal counceler in Dubai and would be happy to assist.

I fully agreed with lisa.I have also bad expericne with dubai office specially with dutch lady(she need mental treatment), she spoiled my carrier and company's future as well.Dubai office is failure becuase of her only.No one stay in this company becuase of her bad behaviour and support from manager. Holland management is very busy and never goes in details whats happening in dubai office.IPS is working with very good and professional way(holland office)and i strongly recoomend to do business with them as hey are good in sourcing material at competitve price and good quality .I have seen comments about IPS Holland which i do not agree but offcourse have some reservation about doing business with dubai office.

My Name is Fukawa and I was till I retired the project coordinator in SP678 for TIJD working very close with Pedec and the stories and information indicated above are 100% untrue and false.
Hang is also a Chinese name, while TIJD means Toyo (Japanese) Idro (iranian) JGC (Japanese) Daelim (Korean) so we do not know or have any Engineer in SP678 project by the name Hang.
So stop your false accusions and be a man, identify yourselves and come forward.
This site is a disgrace for our industry to gossip about persons and companies, further for your information we never dealt with IPS Dubai office as that office only supplies to the local UAE market with tools and spares.

hello. I am an engineer in sp 6 7 8 site working for TIJD, I know IPS holland, they gave us various materials and I can confess 90% of them was very bad and sometimes damaged. we knew that the materials were not from european origin and we were almost sure that the materials test certificates and mill certificates presented by IPS holland were all faked and not from the makes, at all. but the japanese did not allow any one to touch this and all the way backed IPS up [mostly a person with F. name]. but now we know there is a commitee looking into every documents specialy the shiping documents and certificates and the materials themselves too in quantity and quality. if they find any corroption they will not stop untill they have got large compensations from IPS holland.

i'm not pretendin that we, Americans, like Iranians so much, you know that. took a glance at the this forum and felt that ought to add my sayings. ips purchased some items from our company in US on sept. 2006. we trusted this company n accepted DCP with expiry of 30 days after receivin the goods. but after this period we didn't see any sign of the payment, got started callin them over and over and evry time they made stupid excuses like 'our manager's in a biz trip' 'we're waitin for a big Giro' 'we'll receive money from shell' 'we've transfered the money, didn't you receive it ...!' and such ridiculous sayings. we only could catch up with the money 4 months later. looks bunch of school boys layin their fat ### in there doin nothin and waitin for the bell !

Elk huisje heeft zijn kruisje, dat is bij bedrijven niet anders, als jullie helden zijn dan stap je op het bedrijf af en zeg je waar je een probleem mee hebt, nee nu lekker anniem achter iemand zijn rug iemand proberen zwart te maken dat is heldhaftig in mijn ogen ben je dan nog minder dan de welgeheten hoop stront, daar stap je tenminste nog over heen.

Wat mij betreft allemaal kleinzielige, minderwaardige, gefrustreerde figuren !
Het zijn allemaal hypocrieten, als je boven het maaiveld uitkomt dan proberen ze je een kopje kleiner te maken in zaken, in je familie overal, maar pas op wanneer je de mensen ineens aanspreekt en vraagt mocht jij dat wel meenemen van kantoor, of wist je vrouw dat je stiekum op msn zat met een ander ? of briefjes stuurde op e-mail met als onderwerp xxxx ? nee dan zijn de meesten niet thuis.

I just follow this forum and I know IPS very well without going into any details but simply stating some facts.

If we look at the website as given by Mr Parvin www.ips-trade.biz, We notice several facts which cannot be denied by anybody.

On the website www.ips-trade.biz :

A) Is a copy of an ISO certificate with the name of IPS-Trade.com on it, seems that that belongs to IPS in
Holland and not to IPS Iran, the same with the JOS certificate.
B) As we all know there is an embargo between Iran and American companies, how than can IPS Iran
indicates various oil companies which are American or have strong US links, obvious these are
the references of .com and not of .biz or has anybody ever heard that these International companies
would buy in Iran, simple example how should they pay with the embargo ?
C) www.ips-trade.biz shows a photo of a building, this is the head office of .com in Holland.
D) www.ips-trade.biz shows a banner of e-commerce with Trade ranger, this is an american company, ever
heard that a US company is allowed to do e-commerce in Iran ?
E) Under news is indicated that IPS Iran is still owns permission of .com, while at the .com site is indicated that
it is not allowed, while more than 6 months ago in Dutch Newspapers a legal document was
published that all contracts where deleted by law.
F) The postal adress and contact numbers are obsolete, I visited the building resently and the offices where
rented out to other companies and where abandon almost 2 years ago by Mr Parvin.

So just facts, nothing else, you may make up your mind yourselves.

Wat een leuk forum is dit, ik wil gewoon even reageren op de bovenstaande reactie van een zogenaamde heer uit Friesland Hans Willem Miedema.

Ik kan u garanderen dat deze tekst niet door iemand uit Nederland is geschreven, dit is iemand die geen Nederlander van origine is, het verhaal is doorspekt van de taalfouten en heeft dezelfde opbouw als vele allochtone Nederlanders gebruiken zoals Turken, Marokkanen etc.

Mijn conclusie, iemand wil doen voorkomen of hij of zij uit Friesland of Nederland komt, echter dit is een fake.

Verder weet ik niet wie IPS is echter bovenstaande reactie is flauwekul.

Mijn naam is Hans Willem Miedema uit Friesland. Ik lees deze website gisteren en wil graag mijn commentaar. Ik weet het IPS-trade.com en haar eigenaar Gerard Zondervan sinds 2002. Ik kan u zeggen dat u niet kunt vertrouwen dit IPS-trade.com en speciaal Gerard Zondervan. Als alternatief kunt u kiezen voor Van Leeuwen Buizen.

Wij hebben gewerkt met Van Leeuwen nu voor 3 jaar en we hadden geen enkel probleem met het zo ver. Met IPS-trade.com Ik had een zeer slechte tijd. Hoge prijzen, lage kwaliteit, gebrek aan technische capaciteiten, onverantwoordelijkheid en zo op me om te stoppen met IPS-trade.com eeuwig. Van Leeuwen is een zeer grote leverancier. U kunt vertrouwen.

Waarom zou u het risico uw project? Kies Van Leeuwen en vergeet IPS-trade.com!

De Van Leeuwen website is: www.vanleeuwen.com

Dr. A. Parvin

Feb 01, 2009 9:25 am EST

I am Dr. Parvin and the owner and director of ips-trade Iran. I had no idea about this forum and what the people said about ips-trade.com until last Tuesday 27th, when I just found this page on the internet, whilst I was searching some "IPS-Trade" terms. It is not a big deal to find this page, if you search any of the "ips trade, ips.trade, ips-trade, ips-trade.com, ips-trade Holland or even ips-trade Iran" you will find some websites of ips-trade branches first and then in the same page, this forum about ips-trade.com Holland.

Neither me, personally, nor ips-trade Iran was going to comment on any of the above and did not. But this evening I found that someone instead of commenting on ips-trade.com, which seems to be the subject of this forum has dragged me and my family into this and written ###s and several accusations.

First of all none of the above persons, who commented about ips-trade.com or its manager or its ips-trade fze's personnel is me, either "A customer", "john" or ... even the one who claimed to be "Parvin"! You can verify me by sending email to my email address: a.parvin@ips-trade.biz (also stated at www.ips-trade.biz contact page) or call me on my mobile no.

Second point is that the one who claims to be "Valezadeh" and claims he/she is Iranian and owner of a big firm and is this aggressively speaking on behalf of ips-trade.com Holland and defending IPS-Trade’s interests may wish to make him/her known to us and then we can verify if his/her words are in any worth. You, “Valezadeh” dared accusing me of these ###s, I hope you have the guts to let us know who you really are. However I already know who this guy is and what his answer will be.

He mentioned things that all are rubbish. Furthermore I know only one person, who writes with the “Valezadeh’s writing pattern”, the very same guy had sent me several emails from a yahoo ID "Raoul ..", in which by court order and yahoo kind assistance we could successfully track the sender down and probe the computer of the person who had sent those emails from.

The "Raoul ..." ID & email have been closed and at this very moment he and his threats and accusations (which are the same rubbish as the above said!) are under investigation. I will add the above made accusations to his previous criminal cases. He is enough negligent that does not think an IT Expert can trace records of his online activities and whatever he does on the internet can be easily retrieved. He may not be aware that writing pattern reveals the author and forensic experts can find who has written a certain text. Now it seems I have several repeated text from the same guy! Very well, this makes the investigation a lot easier.

As of the court case I have against IPS-Trade.com The Netherlands, which the "Valezadeh" has implied to, I am really reluctant to openly discuss about it, not here and not publicly in this forum, it will not be a professional act in my view and might damage the ips-trade.com's outlook permanently.

Finally, for the persons who named themselves "Yoshima" & “xyz” (although I am also sure that these persons are the same as “Valezadeh”), could you give us your real name and contact details? Readers and I are very interested to get to know you as well.

In general, all of the above writers are acting cowardly. If you have something to say and you think that is a pure truth why do you have the fear of revealing your names?!

Well, all of the above comments have no solid ground unless otherwise the author is verified or a concrete evidence is provided.

Last and final comment I will make this statement made by IPS Iran is really a Yoke

---------------------
IPS-Trade Iran has decided to continue its presence in the market actively and independently to be of efficient and enhanced services to its clients. IPS-Trade Iran will undertake all aspects of the businesses and perform its tasks as usual.
-----------------------

IPS Iran has no clue of the materials, no idea of the oil and gas industry, the people working in the so called IPS Iran as Mr Parvin the so called Managing Director, The Sales Manager - Mss Sadr (his girlfriend) student in Business and probably expert in bed, Mr Sadr Project Engineer the brother of Ms Sadr, 2 other employees which are family and who are man and wife, what is this a soap ? Like The Bold and the Beautifull or Dallas ?
Mr parvin has not a single penny, has stolen from his former company and is trying to make false claims of pretending he was the agent as well as their director ?
-------------------------

IPS-Trade.com is not in any need for an IPS in Iran, they do all the business from the service centers in Dubai and Bahrain so dream on Baby :-))

Mr Parvin can better use the slogan of Mr Obama - Can we cheat them YES WE CAN !
