Soltrad alias Villagenterprises

[dodobaby]

I just let everybody know about my case in connection "Mr" Patrick Nanau alis "soltrad". I ordered from him an orchid. I sent him 140 USD for the plant more than 2 month ago. I haven't received my plant yet. I sent him may mails. Seems he doesn't want to answer my questions.I'm a little angry. Mr. Nanau has stolen 140 USD from me for "nothing".

My question: what could I do in this case?

[Vivienne]

I really don't know what can be done... but here's some information from a thread over a year old.

Where are you located at Dodobaby? You could try and report this to the
Better Business Bureau.

Ok, I will try. Could it be that Villagenterprise is an illegal business?

[Vivienne]

Not sure if it is an illegal business or if what they were trying to sell was legal or illegal orchids. I'm just going on what I read on the other thread. That was an old thread too.

[dodobaby]

So could you tell me one reason why I didn't get either plant or answers?

[Vivienne]

No I can't. From what I've read, that company/person didn't seem to be reputable back then. How did you get in contact with them this time? Is there newer information available than the posts from 2006?

[dodobaby]

I got in contact via its contact-mail, it's on the web site: enquiries@villagenterprises.com

I hope this experience doesn't turn you off from buying orchids over the net. There are many reputable dealers out there... What kind of orchid were you looking for? I'm sure that I or one of the other members can recommend a dealer for you. As far as this situation is concerned, I would contact the webmaster/ web host of the Villagenterprise website and inform them of what happened.

"I would contact the webmaster/ web host of the Villagenterprise website and inform them of what happened."

Please do it if you can.Thanks for that. If you need I can send the bill about the money transfer by mail.

Dodobaby,
I tried to "Goggle" Villagenterprise and got nothing. How did you originally
contact them to purchase the orchid? Do you have a website for them?
Also where do you live?

[dodobaby]

Here is:

I live in Hungary.

dodobaby - I'm relatively certain that Fabolusus did not mean that they would contact them for you. I believe they said that you should contact the webmaster.

[dodobaby]

You have right. I misunderstood...

[Tobi]

I would still try using the Better Business Bureau. Give them the name of the
sight, the E-mail and name of the person you tried to contact and a brief
description of the transaction of your purchase. They may be able to contact
them for you.

dodobaby,

If you live in Hungary and you ordered orchids fron a grower in the United States, there are some things you shoulkd know. The selling of orchids across international borders is heavily controlled by an international trade treaty called CITES and requires permits and permissions that may take months to obtain from government officials. If I understand correctly, obtaining CITES permits can take 3-6 months. There may also be import permits required by your government which may take time as well.

[dodobaby]

Maybe you have right but i see no reason why he didn't answer my e-mails....
