Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / January 2008m--99.co.uk Are they any good?
Just wanted to air my concerns about this company (see other posts). Their problems are ongoing and recurrent. Despite ordering for a specific model, the charger I bought did not fit and was incomplete. In itself not a big deal, mistakes happen. What differentiates good from bad icompanies is how these problems are dealt with. Like all of the other posts by m-99 customers, I too sent multiple emails which were/are being all ignored. I'm trying to follow this up now... There are plenty of other companies out there - use one of them instead. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY WWW.M-99.CO.UK ..... I'll post again if the problem is fixed*.... *I don't hold out much hope... > Just wanted to air my concerns about this company (see other posts). > Their problems are ongoing and recurrent.

The guy is a complete prick, with a severe attitude problem. You've got to remember, you're doing *him* a favour shopping at this shitty attrociously-designed website. All that for a lens replacement....why bother, use ebay or some such - just not m99. >Just wanted to air my concerns about this company (see other posts). >Their problems are ongoing and recurrent. [snip] >There are plenty of other companies out there - use one of them >instead. Agreed. Although I have been pleased with some things I bought from them years ago, two items were useless, and one was the wrong thing altogether. IME you can forget about getting them replaced when that happens. I once had the temerity to suggest that we could redesign their website, and got a very rude reply that said they liked it as it is. I'm not saying it's the worst website on the net, but it is a contender. There are plenty of other companies, but which to choose? I'd really like to find a supplier of good quality replacement batteries. Can anyone suggest one? Oh, and beware that m-99 have lots of aliases - different company names and web addresses - but it's easy to detect them: all their websites are as awful as one another.

HTH SignatureSteve M99 rarely use photographs of their own products, they use photographs belonging to other companies such as Litewave and ICELED. For example they are using photos of an ICELED UFO installed on a car to sell their poor imitation kit from China. Customers purchase these kits expecting the same results. This of course is illegal and is known as "passing off". If you have bought items from any company in the U.K that has "passed off" or used misleading photos to sell you one of their products they are breaking the law and you are completely protected.

One disgruntled customer's warning is worth 100 happy customers or shills. It's like when people are asked about insurance and people reply `oh they're great. I've not had to make a claim yet but the website is great and the people are always friendly on the phone`. >> LightFantastic.2vh...@no-mx.wirelessforums.org declared for all the >> world to hear... [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >great. I've not had to make a claim yet but the website is great and >the people are always friendly on the phone`. Well, this was my experience with M-99. A did one purchase that was OK. Later I ordered a 'Genuine Nokia' handsfree - when I got it it wasn't a 'genuine Nokia' and the contacts on the plug became noisy after just a few weeks, then it was useless. So, orders were supplied and charged accordingly but the second item was not as described. It was a long time ago and I have not dealt with M-99 since. --- Remove 'no_spam_' from email address.

My dealings with M-99 back in May were such I'd not buy from them again. Part of my order was for a hands free for my wife's Samsung S401i. I emailed them twice, indicating the connection to the phone was the wrong type. They (M-99 that is) didn't even bother to reply to my emails.

Won't reply to emails or faxes Nope, avoid, they're utter rubbish. M-99.co.uk 10 emails and 7 telephone calls (just answering machine) never one reply to the fact that the phone battery I bought is useless, the advertising is a total disgrace and incorrect, fooling customers right down the line. Companies like this should be shut down and whoever is pocketing all our money, put in prison.
