i purchased the Canon 5D MK III 5 weeks ago from them and paid by "Direct Deposit" which is i guess this is their little game.
anyway, i was promised that it would be delivered within a week. But obviously it did NOT. they keep saying 'next week, next week, next week' and every time there is an excuse.
and don't be fooled by Mr.Tim, the one with the sweet talking, he is the biggest lair.
however, after reading bunch of negative reviews online which i did not know about before i bought the camera. i just realized that even if i waited ten years the camera wouldn't be delivered.
So i asked for a refund yesterday via email and i did not receive any emails yet, and they would not pick up when i call.
am gonna wait and see what will happen, most reviews i've seen they're saying that they got the refund after a long wait. the least one saying that he/she got it in 2.5 weeks. and some of them are still waiting
If things go worse and they don't fully refund the money by 2-3 week, i may have to proceed a court order or call the police or something.
i am staying at Brisbane but am not Australian, so am not sure how the justice system works here.
if anyone can help please post your comments i will give regular up-dates if anything new happens
If anyone wants to contact me re forming a group so we can organise a coordinated effort against 'Import Stock' (ITAP Australia Pty Limited), then, send me an email (genevieveburnett[at]yahoo.com.au) and I will send you more details.
Thanks for all your posts people, after 13 weeks of waiting i have now also lodged a complaint with the department of fair trading, i'll go to the bank today, and the police,...im looking for their phone number so i can start calling,..
does anyone actually have any real hope for a refund? Not that im planning on giving up,.....
Please tell us what did they say at the bank about the refund! But I think they can't help us.
Are you interested in joining a group that is planning to adopt a coordinated legal strategy against 'Import Stock'? There is another forum on this topic: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1830134. If you check the latest posts by 'scammedBYming' (dated 17.09.13), you will see how you can become involved. A lot of people have been affected. I urge you to join us.
I ordered and paid for a lens on 28 June which they did not have in stock so promised a refund on 7 July and today is 9 Sept. Their Australian phone contact is fake as it suggests email (importstock.com) now does not respond and the gmail does not go through. A Hong Kong company basing a Australian business & and au domain with CBA bank account. Happy to hear from other on {contact removed for safety and privacy} before I take this any futher

Do not use Import Stock, its a scam and you will be robbed. They have retreated to Hong Kong. Police and other authorities in Australia are not taking any action although it is very well documented and many complaints lodged. Many, many Australians have been duped by these thieves, do not become another one. There are various legal efforts out there if you have been robbed. A liquidator has also been appointed in Hong Kong.
Hi, We direct debited more than $1000 for a SLR Camera and I have emailed and called many time but no response. I have also reported them to the Australian govt- Scamwatch website. If anyone has any luck getting goods or money back, please post it!
He's back in Hong Kong now. His mobile is 92782626 in Hong Kong. His full name is Hung Ka Ming. He has a HK ID so if u search public records here u may locate him
Thank you so much for this useful information. I will contact him and harass him until I get my money back- what a total dodgy dealer!!! Do you know if anyone has got money back or goods sent? Do you know if there is anything I can do to retrieve the funds?
DO NOT buy from importstock.com.au
bottom line they are "LAIRS, THIEVES"
