| Scam contents | 8 foot christmas tree ordered but received a 6 INCH tree.The company was Beimac Co Ltd 6-9 The Square, Stock.ey Park, Uxbridge UB11 1FW. The tree was from Amterly UK. All dirctors of Amterly live in China and are chinese citizens. |
| Comment / Review | The christmas tree i ordered was supposed to be 8 foot tall with a working train, ferris wheel, houses all lit up and a santa who climbed a ladder. What I got was a 6 Inch tree in a plastic bag shoved through the letter box. There were a few baubles a string of tinsel and two santas both half inch tall. I am 75 years old on a pension and have never bought from the internet before. As I gave them my bank details I had to cancel my card and apply for a new one. I shall never trust the internet again.

Ordered 6' carousel tree with Santa hasn't come yet and I doubt if it will since the day of purchase I've had loads of small amounts of money taken from my account . I ordered from a Google advert and all money taken is marked from google.

I ordered the 8 foot, Carousel Christmas Tree, complete with its own village, everything. I saw it advertised on Instagram. What arrived was 1 foot tall (30cm) with lights, dated decorations. The lights work ( I didn’t think they would). It’s cheap and tacky and hideous. I’ve sent 2 emails but guess what, no reply ! Going to PayPal for a refund.

We also ordered the 4ft Christmas tree with carousel and Santa in October, tried to track the order number and couldn't. What arrived yesterday was a twig of a Christmas tree, a few cheap baubles (which aren't worth 50p) absolutely fuming.

I purchased what I thought was a 6 ft tree with LED lights, carousel, working train & beautiful village etc. Got the same bag of tacky decorations that wouldn't look out of place in a £1 shop, which I wouldn't have bought even for £1. Completely scammed by Amterly.com. Now off to PayPal to request a full refund.

As above guys I ordered the 4 foot tree with the lovely carousel and trainset. 2 days ago I got a tiny tree through my mailbox with really fragile and very cheap light and very cheap decorations, most of which are too big for the tiny tree. I have emailed them today. I am not hopeful at all about getting a refund from them. I did pay for the tree through PayPal so I might be able to get some money back, probably not postage and they will take some money off for the tiny tree I didn't order. Unless I send it back to China. Even the I doubt that they would refund the whole cost.

I already found out it was a scam and approach barclays my bank who refunded me after I put a despute in over the payment. But some are not as lucky. I have read post here and other sites. They scammed thousands of pounds.

I feel for everyone here as my husband fall in love with the Christmas tree online and decided on getting the 6 foot tree as he thought the 8 foot one would be to big. I did say it seemed to good to be true but went along with it, so ending up with a tree just 1 foot tall was a disappointment. Scammers!!! 🤬🤬

Absolutely disgusting ordered in October been waiting all this time and what we received is a load of rubbish and tat. Upset is an understatement.
We paid for a 8ft tree with all the trimmings looks lovely in pictures but it's crap. We got a twig and few old decorations. Scam scam scam.

Received my 6ft tree with bells and whistles, climbing Santa, Ferris wheel, lights.
Disgusted by it as it looks nothing like the picture promised, Santa is a balloon and it does not climb anywhere. It’s barely 6 inch tall. Better tat to be found in Poundland.
I feel for everyone affected by this scam, I hope it does not dampen your festive mood!
This scammers will be back with too good offer to refuse and more people will fall victim again and again.

Like many others here I to got scammed out of my money but thank goodness I used Paypal to pay for the item which was supposed to be a Magical 8 foot Ferris Wheel Christmas Tree with a Santa Claus climbing up and down a ladder the tree what supposed to be fully decorated. What I received was two dollar store 6inch plain christmas trees. The parcel was from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada and they tried to tell me it went through customs which was b.s. since the parcel was sent from Mississauga, Ontario to another address in Ontario. What a scam good thing I used PayPal to pay for the item and reported the scam/theft to PayPal now waiting on my money to be returned.

I also fell into this scam. I have been Internet shopping for about 15 years now. This scam seemed real It was advertised everywhere, even on YouTube. The customer care statements and guarantees of good service were all legitimate sounding. They sold other items too. It was a lot more sophisticated than other scams I have seen. When I was going to order I searched the Internet for bad or good reviews and I couldn't find anything at that time. I don't feel that any of the other buyers here are at fault. Or should be blaming themselves. Scams are changing so rapidly that hospitals councils and big businesses are getting caught out too. I am only going to buy from legitimate shops now and no more pop up ads. When I used to be on Facebook I would buy from their ads all the time and they were fine. I have always ordered through PayPal though so I always got my money back. If you used a credit card you could probably get a refund from them too. Its so difficult to know what's real and what isn't now and every year it gets worse. Use PayPal if possible buy from shops you know are safe and of course Amazon. Stay safe and best wishes for a more decent 2022. Much much more decent than 2020 and a good bit more decent than 2021 🎄🎉

I ordered a tree through their advert on Facebook and like everyone else received a piece of tat worth less than a fiver. When I commented about it Facebook removed all my comments about it ,so obviously they know about this fraud ,because that`s what it is .Amterly has told me it`s worth £17.99 and offered me £3

OLDUN 12/30/2021 at 10:27 AM
Sorry to hear that, I paid for mine through Paypal. That's where I found that my money had been paid to Chengdu. Paypal received a reply from them (I don't know what that said) I was never given Chengdu's details but I then received an email from Paypal stating "You have received a full refund from Chengdu Huamanou Trading Co.
Might be worth replying to Amterly and telling them you are contacting Chengdu Huamanou Trading Co. Ltd. which I believe maybe their parent Co. Good luck.

I ordered and paid for a 4' Carousel Christmas Tree with a train circling the base, Father Christmas climbing a ladder and LED lighting as I thought it would bring pleasure a nephew's grandchildren. What I finally received after sending Amterly an email bore very little resemblance to it. The Christmas tree was about 6" long. Without removing the contents from a plastic bag I handed it to my nephew as he was an approved electrician. I understand from him that it didn't do anything and was merely ornamental.
In my opinion they are nothing but scammers and ought to be prosecuted for applying false trade descriptions.
