how to go in court
dear albonal,
I want also to go in court to keep my money back. I don't know how to do in UK, can you inform me ?

friendly visit to JMC
I plan to go in the JMC office in London to ask for my money. If someone is interested to join me with the same goal, it would be great and funny.

JMC - does anyone have the company's address?
I have a similar story - I bought a chair in December and am still waiting, they keep answering my e-mails and tell me they are having problems w/ the shippers - I need to file a claim with the Better Business Bureau here in the U.S. - Can anyone give me the address? Search engines here in the U.S. are not doing the trick.

Hope
I had the same problem with my JMC order, they kept telling me they were waiting for it to be delivered, eventually i cancelled but it took months to get my money back. Persistence paid off after A LOT of calls and emails!

Why are they still in business?
Why?

look at modernclassicsdirect.co.uk same company??? Looks dodgy

I agree...
Just looked at the link..an Arco for £249.00 !!!.ha ha , I dont suppose that anyone will get an Arco for this price, people must know there is something dodgy.I read all the print but cant find any "repro" or "in the manner of" anywhere, maybe i missed it?.

JMC JOKE!
I've started a website against them - jmcfurniture.net.
If anyone wants to appear on it - let me know - i'm trying to get it up next to theirs in google but it only went live today.

Modern Classics Direct are JMC
Modern Classics Online are NOT! Just to clarify that, dont want the two getting confused with each other!
I run Modern Classics Online (might have to change the name!), & whilst the furniture business can be a challenge the way these people appear to work is just completely unethical.
Their card merchant provider (either Lloyds Cardnet, HSBC, Barclays or Natwest Streamline) would shut them down in a nano second if they knew what was happening.
It gives everyone in this business a bad name & the sooner they & the other two companies I know of that do this are gone the better for everyone.

Hello TJM...
Good for you to put us right on that issue, nipping it in the bud and all that. So, does that mean the "Arco" thats advertised on your website is a genuine "Flos Arco" for £249 ???, i cant see any reference to the contrary anywhere, although my eyesight isnt as good as it used to be i admit!.

MODERN CLASSICS DIRECT ARE JMC
If you check out the whois results ( http://www.whois-search.com/whois/modernclassicsdirect.co.uk) you'll see that the registrant is John Christopher - the same guy to signed my "apology" from JMC ( http://www.jmcfurniture.net/apology.html) but still hasn't given me a refund.
Con artist!

Yes, but the name Modern Classics Direct..
return a clean Google search! Therefore the unsuspecting customer would really not have any idea these guys are crooks. So we know they are one & the same, but if you were checking them out you would have no idea! How appalling.
As for the Arco lamp, of course its not the original! We sell a version of it too, for £299, & very nice it is too - but at that price it is NOT the real McCoy.
And I think I might be able to get a trading address for them if anyone is interested.

Ooops, sorry Vivienne
Its MY website you are asking about. No its absolutely not the original. I usually put 'Our version of this...' to make it clear, & in the general product info theres reference to reproductions too. But that website really needs updating, my main website - Go Modern - is the one I mainly use, & I know there are still some bits to tidy up on MCO, might do that tonight in fact.

Just checked my website
And it definitely says 'Our version' & the first page says 'Furniture inspired by' , plus ours is £299 - so I think you are getting the two mixed up, exactly what I didnt want.
Lots of hyphens in MCO, so similar name but very different URLs.

Ahh...
Its my eyes then!.. i will have to try harder wont i?.Thanks for clearing it up.
