The question is why are those still for sale? There’s no way a liquidator has appraised the insolvency and decided to allow the company to continue trading.

Not to mention that people buying those won’t be getting any warranty from Scott or have any 30 day return like advertised.

Amazon will rip him a new one, dont worry

@ScottulusMaximus what are you doing?

Do you really think that is how businesses work? One month at break even and they should close down, or one month at a loss means immediate shutdown?

Ever heard of loans or modifying operations etc. to reverse the loss and make up for it? SSS was a couple of years old so obviously was profitable until recently.

I sound like a stuck record here but there will have been a point at which he'd realised his 30 day forecasts were looking grim. There would have been a point at which he'd realised that this month he was out of options, and there will have been a point at which he decided to continue to accept order he knew he could not fulfil.

I think he overstretched in an effort to open up the battery line of business and it didn't work out. SA is/was in the midst of an energy/solar/renewable gold-rush. Many people have and will fail in that uh, climate.

A friend of mine pointed out that in the screenshots that I was sent via mail.
  1. There was no date on the order form
  2. The one looks suspiciously like the basket, the payment option is available as radio button
  3. Is the voluntary liquidation even real
  4. He said he would post on the thread some more details. He hasn't.
  5. Then he said we needed to email info@scotts for the details. I emailed. Still waiting.
  6. Someone on the carbonite forums was able to start a payment and got all the way to NetCash screen, Yesterday

Because there are other things to worry about than some listing on Amazon. Those orders will probably not be fulfilled and the clients will just get a refund from Amazon.

Yeah I don't know why people are defending this. He is just digging a deeper hole. It takes 5min to remove it from the store. Customers must go through the kuk and drama to get a refund because this d00s is too busy?

He needs to be worrying about sorting out his business, and this is part of the business. If he had been a bit more diligent he might not be in the situation he is (presuming he hasn’t deliberately defrauded customers in recent months).

Why would you even think it’s a good look trying to defend someone who has scammed members of the forum?
 
I'm sure it has something to do with debt / loans / interest... Lesson learnt the hard way, buy what you can afford cash, otherwise don't. Interest is a killer.
 
So now what is the alternative hassle free deliver to my doorstep service we can use to purchase stuff abroad.

https://www.postbox-courier.com/ has been flawless for me. More steps as you buy the product, pay them for the shipping and then pay them the customs when it arrives. But they are fast AF as you dont get scammed.
So that's a bonus.

I am going back to PBC. At least with multiple payment you only lose half and the items are in your name when they are shipped

Im curious as to what you need to ship that doesn't come with some kind of courier option

Have used Aramex a few times. They did not disappoint.

I found Aramex to be so slow its easier to wait a few months for the product to be available in South Africa or flown over by pigeon.

I once shipped the SAME product via Aramex and DHL and the DHL one got to my house SEVEN days before the Aramex Express. And all i got from Aramex was nonsense about customs issues. I told them to go speak to DHL they can show them how customs works lol...
