A few years ago I as looking for absinthe and came across a UK company that sells it online. I didn't order any at that time but did agree to accept a free absinthe spoon if I put their banner on here and other social media sites. They would then check to see if I had done so and then send me the spoon. Well, I displayd their banner, and they thanked me and said the spoon was on its way, but it never arrived. I didn't worry about it and soon forgot it until I got messages such as 20% off for your birthday etc.
On 34rd June 2013 I decided to finally place an order for 2 bottles of absinthe to be sent to my son. The company estimated delivery would be around 28th June. As the order hadn't arrived by 3rd July I sent an e-mail telling the company that it had failed to arrive but go no response from them. Two days later I sent a message via their "contact us" page on their web site; stil no response. I then tried phoning but without even giving one ring all I got was a recorded message saying "please press 1 if you want to send a text saying to tried to call otherwise just hang up". After trying several times I eventually sent quite a rude, all upper case message via their web site telling them of my dissatisfaction and that if I stil got no response from them I would contact the relevant authorities. Guess what? STILL no response. I now believe this company to be fraudulent and will be contacting my bank telling them of the situation and asking them to see if they are able to get my money back, and I am now going on all my social media sites telling everyone I can to beware. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BUY ANYTHING FROM "THE ORIGINAL ABSINTHE" COMPANY; url http://www.originalabsinthe.com/
