My turn to complain about UYD...
Beginning of June 2014, I bought some stuff from him on eBay and on his website. The eBay stuff arrived pretty quickly and I was happy with the quality. On his website I bought for more than 100 pounds of stuff (Curio Set, Box...)and still no news of it. End of July 2014, I contacted Simon via email and he repplied me that the stuff from his website has been sent. I've been to my post office but no trace of it . I live in Paris , France and I've bought dozens of items from UK and it was the first time that something was lost... (It can happens but when I look at this thread it looks that it is something reccurent with UYD.) Anyway, in August, Simon wrote to me that he will replace my order. I've been waiting since this time. Until end of october, Simon repplied to me via SMS or email but currently I have no more news from him. He was always saying that he would take care of my case but It was just words... Because this case is from june, I cannot complain on paypal to get my money back... When I look on eBay, he's still selling stuff but he looks like dead when he needs to answer me. Funny thing, at the same time he can answer to an email from another member of this forum but he nevers answer to me. Since the beginning of this case, I've always been nice in my messages but I'm starting to loose my patience. |

Update to my former post.
Chris from UYD just contacted me. It seems that Simon is dealing with personnal issues and that's why I had no news. Chris wrote to me that my case will be taken with consideration and that they will send my stuff right after Christmas. So it seems everything will be fine at the end |

I don't want to appear unsympathetic, but he's been using this reason for a long time. Chris gave me this excuse too many months ago and I never got my orders.
let's hope you really do get your items. |

Agreed. I've heard that story multiple times now. Received an apology, been told that it'll be sent out as soon as he's "back in the office tomorrow" and he'll send a tracking number, only to hear... nothing.

I'm sympathetic to the personal problems - but never received the replacement items Simon and I emailed about.
Conversations eventually ended, and I chalked it up to lessons learned. Naoh75 - in my humble and unsolicited opinion - the best bizarre biz is done with Outlaw, Lebanon, Gemini, Alchemy Moon, and Prof BC. There are some individual gems out there as well with Bobby and and Steve. You can't go wrong with anything you purchase from these guys. You might pay a little more, but the quality and customer service is impeccable. |

I am really surprised that people are having problems. I used to order quite regularly from Simon and always had terrific service. I haven't ordered anything for a while purely because I keep reading these horror stories, I don't want to be another complainer. So if Simon reads this I hope he realises this kind of thing is also losing customers that were fans of his at one time.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

I definitely stop to wait for them to send something after it was promised it would be sent in 3 days. I hope other customers are luckier than me and some other unlucky customers. Peace ! |

Seems to be a rash of this sort of thing from over the pond. What is even more appalling is their so called friends make excuses, tolerate and even defend these criminal acts.

You are a class act sir! I wish everyone maintained the high standard of customer service you provide.

Arguably Lebanon Circle and Alchemy Moon are two of the bigger players here. I will let Dan speak for himself, but both have been trading for many years and both have an excellent record in both customer satisfaction and in getting all orders out promptly. Then we can look at companies such as Blackheart who have been successfully trading far longer than either. Then we have to consider individual traders such as Roni, Freddie, Dr Todd and Mat, all of whom are active on here both in terms of contributions and in excellent customer services. All of these from 'across the pond'. I am sure that I have missed many more, who can also speak for themselves. None of these are 'criminal acts' and all conduct their business with integrity. When mud is flung around without thought, it sticks to everyone and when it is unjustified, the record needs to be putting straight, which is what I am doing here.

People here aren't defending UYD. The recent lack of contact shows no respect for his customers. When he first vanished, I was aware he was having some family problems and because he was always an honest and reliable person in the past I would have thought he'd sort matters. He didn't.
It's not just "across the pond" (a post which revealed the authors own prejudices more than anything else) that this happens. It also happens in most places, probably even Texas. |

It seems I have offended the many excellent dealers across the pond and please accept my apology. There have been a few bad apples but I won't rehash them. Yes, there have been bad dealers in Texas as well, no point in rehashing them either.

UYD is no longer my problem.
This morning I received an email from Mr. Simon where he said it was very upset by my previous post so he decided to refund and cancel my order, inviting me to not buy more from him. Great professionalism. Great commercial suicide. But, just for being fair, I report here my previous experience with UYD: I bought a magnet a month ago and everything went fine, very fine. Though. I do not trust blindly trading online, even after a transaction carried out positively, maybe after ...4/5/6 just to say a number. And if I read a lot of negative criticism to a seller which I entrusted my money, I try to inform me better. In my previous post I haven't offended or talking bad about no one It is just right for a customer take infos in places such as forums, I just do not understand how a seller should take offense to this. Indeed, perhaps a seller with such negative reviews should be glad to have a way to improve their image in front of the customers, in fact I informed Simon that if all went well I would write positive reviews right here at the Cafè. Personally speaking, I spent 20 years working in commerce, now I am a graphic designer for a company, but in my spare time still sells vinyl records, in my career I have heard all kinds of excuses and I realized that in business these only serve to cover something which is going wrong. The serious trader does not mix feelings nor do private life with work, and driving away a customer for such nonsense is a crime against your own business. I really hope that Mr Simon gets better and better with his company and to continue for the better. As for me, I can even do without UYD products. |

So here I am again. 10 months since my order to UYD and a lot of emails and still nothing... I live in France, and for several years I received more than 100 packages from UK various sellers without any problems. And UYD tries to make me believes that my two parcels were lost, I just don't believe them. Below you will find all my emails exchanged with UYD since the first time I explained my case on this forum.
Of course on this day, I received nothing and didn't get my money bacK. On 23 Dec 2014, at 11:47, Ollivier wrote: Hello Chris, Just saw your MP on the forum. So I exchanged some emails and a lot of SMS with Simon but no answers since the 30th of october. I have one order from the 22/06 of 32.99 pounds and one order from the 27/06 of 38 pounds. At this time, I still miss the “Curio set”, “the fill your poison with a filigree pendant” (32.99 pounds)and the upgrade from a normal dual morphic spririt lamp (that I bought on ebay at almost the same time) to a “dual morphic spririt lamp full trick séance” that I bought on your website (38 pounds). I hope that it will solve Best Ollivier On 23 Dec 2014, at 12:53, Simon & Helen wrote: Hi there Ok Simon is away at present and if there has been no reply via SMS it is because he is dealing with some personal issues with elderly relatives.

I can't work out how UYD gets good reviews on eBay yet any sales on his own website seem to go missing or never get sent in the first place. I had exactly the same excuses last year
