Hi, I purchased a hybrid watch through PayPal on 21/11/20 and apart from the receipt from them I didn’t receive an email from the company informing me of the order being placed, sent or a tracking number. Have I been had. I can’t afford to lose the money for this as it was a gift to someone for their 70th birthday. I collected the money from friends to purchase this watch as a gift from all of us. Is there anyway to get my money back?
Thanks

This is some back room 'company' who order from China. No confirmation of orders given, no communication. Items will usually eventually arrive if youre lucky, then you will notice they are not fit for purpose. When one tries to communicate with Balma LLC you will not receive a response. If you chase via Paypal you will receive a fake tracking number from Balma thru the paypal platform
Opening a dispute regarding shoddy items means eventually you will be instructed to return the item at your own expense. In my case to Buenos Aires from UK!
I suggest you do not order via this company unless you want alot of aggro and to lose money

It seems OK.
I ordered a PFD (life jacket) from a UK company called Geartech.
My item arrived two weeks later and is what I ordered and expected.
I believe the package originated in Hong Kong but that is not a problem for me.
The only downside was the lack of communication from this company.
I would have no hesitation ordering again from them...
