Buyer Beware of Coltrade Shop in Italy
Buyer Beware of Coltrade Shop in Italy.
I should have heeded a review posted by another buyer in September 2023 that had the same bad experience I am going through with this company. I also found out that Coltradeshop is not the registered company name, so beware of dealing with this company and it's owner, Fernando Collizzi.
Fernando Collizzi in Coltradeshop me sent a faulty machine and expect me to pay €600 to ship it to a third country to repair it ! He then refused to take the machine back and issue a refund, so I now have to haul him to court to get my refund, as under European law, businesses are obliged to provide repairs and replacements of faulty machines for 2 years, without the buyer having to pay for repairs, replacements or shipping costs to send the items back for such required actions. Yet Fernando pretends that he is not obliged to do so.
History: I had Bought an electric Lumag mini dumper from Fernando, and discovered it is leaking oil. I had never switched the vehicle on, as he had sent the vehicle without its ignition key, and its electric cables had arrived disconnected, but without any instructions on how to reconnect them. He claims the faulty machine will be fixed or replaced if I send it back to Germany at my own cost.
The oil leak was discovered in September, 4 months after arrival, and without ever been switched on. I definitely will not be paying €600 to ship it to Italy, especially when I had paid that amount to buy this supposedly faultless new machine from him in April 2024. So, DO NOT BUY from Fernando Collizzi or you may be throwing away your money.
