David Fiske A subtle blend of affiliate marketing and web development

I received an email just now that is worth sharing:

"As of last week, Watford Electronics Ltd has gone into administration. Its Savastore affiliate programme has been suspended with immediate affect. "
 
However, on their website, it states:

"Dear Savastore Customer,

At 3.30pm, February 7th 2007, Globally Ltd purchased the business of Watford Electronics Ltd.

As a result of this purchase, Savastore.com is temporarily closed for business. The site will reopen as soon as possible following a full review of both business and technological processes.

It is Globally Ltd’s intention to invest heavily in the underlying technology behind Savastore.com, and to provide a platform that will enable it to resume and expand upon Watford Electronics’ existing business.

Wherever possible Globally Ltd will assist and support all existing Savastore.com customers whose goods are not already covered by a manufacturer’s warranty.

Globally Ltd will endeavour to fulfil all unshipped Savastore.com orders. In line with Watford Electronics’ existing policy, Globally Ltd will not charge Savastore.com customers until orders have been despatched.

Globally Ltd would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by the temporary closure of Savastore.com.

Yours sincerely,

Globally Ltd"

I'm glad I removed their links from Compare Sat Nav a few weeks ago!

It also shows how cut throat the Internet world can be!

I never spent much with them, just a couple of hundred pounds. I did buy a network storage unit from them but it never worked from day one. Each call to technical support took 1 hour. That's rubbish customer service!

ebuyer is where I shop normally. They are significantly better!

In a bit of detective work, it's funny how Globally Limited were registered on 5th February 2007. Hmm, something fishy there...
