Default Models in motion?

I have just read on another forum that models in motion have closed so just be warey of buying from there website for now! not good news

Quote:
If any of you were thinking of buying anything from Models In Motion in Stevenage through their website, DONT

Theyve gone under, not paid a load of suppliers
You can still order through their website, but the receivers have been in and cleared them out so you wont get your goods

Spread the word, dont let anyone else get stung

Why is it bang out of order if they are happily taking payment knowing full well the goods arent going to be dispatched??

And you know this for a fact?


EDIT just had a look at their site & it does look like it's still up & running!
I didn't try placing an order & seeing if the checkout will take your money or not but I'm surprised the site is still live!

Aye the shop is closed, anyone that has made a purchase via paypal or Credit card since its gone into liquidation can get a refund.
I would like to see the original post as Showtime has stated this has been discussed in another thread.

Is that credit or debit, or just credit card? Also, have the administrators approved this? I know when Empire Direct went under they were still taking orders knowing the goods werent going to be delivered and the administrators refused to give a refund

They're not; this happens.

EDIT: Sorry, I think that link won't work for other people. Basically, when you try to checkout you get the message "We are sorry, but due to circumstances outside of our control we are currently unable to accept new orders."

Well here is a fact, ordered parma tape off them. The site said on order with supplier, emailed them 2 weeks later asking for a refund as I was sick of waiting and no response.

Emailed again and had no response what so ever. They ripped me off FACT!!!

The site stopped checkout as soon as the notice was served. I checked within minutes and you were stopped at checkout.

Regarding your piece of tape, well fuck me. Livelihoods lost, families incomes removed, a shop that has supported the industry for 20 years gone and you are worried about your tape.

These shops dont set out to fail, they are run and funded by real people who are generally respected in the industry.
