A nut job company

7th of June I wrote to Airgun Nut enquiring on stock. A Chantelle responded a day later saying they had stock. Having been scammed a few times, and not wanting to get caught by supply issues over a R16,000 Airgun I asked if they could provide a photo of the gun to show me they had it in stock before I parted with my money. No response. A good few days later I decided to take a chance and ordered online, but their card facility was offline and so the site said it would contact me. Days went by with nothing. I then contacted Eugene, the owner, to enquire if they actually want to do business. I got a curt short reply saying, they’re understaffed due to Covid and so aren’t able to fully answer emails though not sure why outlook wouldn’t work from home? I then got an invoice, from an Aquila Optics, with a payment link. Would you know it, the PayPal payment link didn’t work either. Sent a screenshot to Eugene to say, how am I going to pay you as none of your payment gateways work. No response. Days went by, I chased him, no response. My last email to him, before I cut all ties with this company and implore the world to steer clear of it is, a customer should not be chasing a business to do business with them. He’s got this the wrong way round. Please don’t use this company because as a customer you’ll spend all your time trying to go somewhere only to find you won’t. Lucky I didn’t part with my money which shows I was right to be cautious. One to steer clear of.
