TheSpaceSHOP NASA 50th Anniversary moon landing silver coin

Ordered NASA 50th Anniversary Moon Landing Silver Coin on 16/11/2020 paid £11-95 plus £2-50 delivery, despite numerous emails and promises of delivery nothing has arrived.
On researching it seems this Company are a Scam
& have conned a number of people out of money
Cannot believe there Website is still up and running
Luckily the amount is very small but looking at comments other people have been conned out of large amounts

Kind regards

Paul Fairbairn-Tennant [protected]

Desired outcome: Close the Website so others don’t get conned

I sued him through the small claims court(do it all on line -very easy to do)-it costs £25 which is added to the county court judgement & he refunded the money + the £25 after he received his summons (I said I was going to do this & he didn't pay, so it wasn't until he was served his summons that he paid) so you will have to shell out £25 first to get your money back. I would report it on line to the fraud squad & contact Trading Standards who are moderately interested. Good Luck

Do not use this company.You will not get anything you order and you will not get your money back without possibly going to small claims court.Impossible to contact.Can only pay via bank transfer.

I submitted a small claims request against them in January and after 7 long months I finally got my money back. It was easy to do but time and numerous e mails to them. Once I informed them my next step would be the bailiffs they paid up. Please do the same. Don' let them get away with stealing from you. Thank you to everyone here for the advice.

Haha - total thief - auto reply server which I've written 7 emails to (it's funny to get the same reply everyday). I don't usually get stuffed but this ##### has managed it. It's amazing that he changes things on the site but forgets he's got to answer mail.Just about to go small claims on the ####. A gift of a few patches for a severely disabled boy orders three weeks ago and guess what - nothing. They also try to fob the Royal Mail off in their terms of delivery - ' any loss should be reported to the courier' (or similar phrase) . Going to press(many mates in top press jobs) to crush the guy, and also trading standards. Total #### this guy is - and dragging NASA through the dirt. They won't like it either. Can't wait to get to work on him.

Agree. They are thieves. I stupidly paid by bank transfer for goods never received. No communication from them. The only method to get in touch was via email mail with no response. I have reported the fraud to the police but I doubt anything will be done. NEVER order anything from these ###!

Thank you. I would take it to the small claims court, but have no idea where to start. They are still conning people out of hard earned cash!

Exactly the same as Jeremy French, bought goods online from The Space Shop and no goods, no contact and have heard nothing for over a month. Apparently when you pay by money transfer - which I did and was encouraged by the website to do so 'to get a discount' (THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING THE THIEVES) - the consumer has absolutely no protection. This was a present for a colleague which is horrible, he never got the present and I wasted money. The Space Shop are fraudsters through and through. Avoid at all costs! This is a massive lesson for me...firstly, before sending any money by 'bank transfer, ' check, check and check again! If I had simply googled 'The Space Shop' and 'complaints, ' I would have seen all the complaints and not done it, secondly, I should have looked for a telephone no. and ensured that someone was at the other end of the line and lastly, I will always pay with PayPal from now on. This could have been worse so BE WARNED, BE WARNED, BE WARNED!
