schwimmen-shop.de experiences?

[bjorte]

I'm considering buying my first monofin, a WW Nemo Wing. The best price I've found is at schwimmen-shop.de where I can get it for 164EUR + 15EUR(shipping to Sweden).

I haven't found a single post on the forum mentioning schwimmen-shop.de, which makes me a little suspicious. Also, the ordering form has choices on the fin specs that I haven't seen on other shops(Monoflosse Nemo Freediver WING). Does anyone here have any experience of this dealer, good or bad?

By the way, is it possible to get the Nemo even cheaper from somewhere else?

Thanks,
Björn

I would strongly advise against ordering from this company - it is owned by the same person as the infamous Polyorg who ripped off many people. Have a look for example at these threads:

Or look up Polyorg on the web

Wow! I'm so glad I got suspicious and that I got it confirmed. Thanx Trux! I will definitely follow your advice. You probably saved me from a lot of headaches.

Saves a lot of money. For monofins you can ask Alex from Starfins he sells also normal monofins not only hyperfins.

Ok, now I have some headache. Today I received an email from polyorg.de(!) with a pdf that looks like an order confirmation, without having ordered anything!

The thing is, before I got suspicious and looked it up here, I started an account at schwimmen-shop.de, so I could get the total price for an fin with shipping. So I put the fin in the "shopping cart" and and went to the checkout to see the total price, but I didn't finish any purchase. And now, 4 days later I get this "auftrag" from polyorg.de.

Should I do anything or can I just ignore this? I didn't leave any credit card info or anything, but they have my address. Maybe not a question for this forum, more like a general e-commerce question, but there seems to be some competence I that field here(Trux).

As long as you did not pay or entered the credit card number, there is no problem
And if you entered your credit card number (and did not use any virtual one), you better contact your bank right away, and make sure they block the payment.

Ok, thanks again Trux!
