Beware of Velovolt.co.uk - Fraudulent Seller
I had a terrible experience with Velovolt.co.uk and want to warn others about their fraudulent practices. I purchased two products from their website, the City Foldable eBike v2.0 in white and SLIME® Puncture Prevention Treatment. However, what I received was far from what was described and promised.
From the very beginning, there were red flags. After placing my order, I noticed that the first line of my address was missing. I immediately contacted Velovolt through their listed email address, but my email bounced back. Desperate for assistance, I managed to find a contact number for a person named Stephen Alexander Brown, also known as 'Steve,' at Velovolt. He claimed there was an issue with their email system and assured me that my address would be updated before dispatching the package.
When the package arrived, I was deeply disappointed. The City Foldable eBike v2.0 had multiple defects. It produced a screeching noise from the front wheel area, and the power delivery system was extremely underwhelming, especially when tackling hills. Both the front and rear wheels exhibited significant friction, leading to fatigue during rides. I immediately contacted Stephen via WhatsApp, providing him with evidence of the defects, including a video recording. However, instead of addressing the issue, he blocked me from all forms of communication.
To make matters worse, the SLIME® Puncture Prevention Treatment was never delivered. Despite Stephen's false claims that the product had been sent, it never arrived, and subsequent attempts to communicate with him were ignored.
I have taken every possible step to resolve this issue. I initiated the return process following Velovolt's guidelines, but the seller blocked all communication channels, leaving me helpless. I reported the case to the police, and a copy of the police report is available for reference.
It's important to note that Velovolt claims to offer a 30-day Money Back Guarantee on their website. However, they have failed to honor this guarantee in my case. I expect a full refund in accordance with their refund terms and conditions.
My experience with Velovolt has been nothing short of a nightmare. Their deceptive practices, lack of customer support, and failure to deliver the promised products warrant extreme caution when dealing with them. I strongly advise everyone to steer clear of Velovolt.co.uk and save themselves from the frustration and financial loss I have endured.
