Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
If only I was aware of this site before I played into the swapselltrade.com scam I would be $60 richer!!!!!

Purchased the Joe Richey SST scam Plutonium mbrship - received a free digital camera (which does not work by the way), a boatload of annoying emails and an envelope full of coupons for "carnival value" merchandise. As a "Plutonium Member" I registered (multiple times) for access to the "MegaMall" as offered anticipating that this would be the area where truly saleable merchandise was located - Never received any response. Sent Email to this clown's published contact address asking for explanation regarding the "non working junk" camera they sent as well as the Megamall issue. No Response.

Fortunately I came across this site and became enlightened. A Relatively inexpensive lesson as had I dove into this scam and sold or attempted to sell the garbage offered I would only alienate customers ! Not to mention the cost of goods, mistated shipping, restocking and scam fees I have been informed that others have encountered.

Joe, Kent or whoever you are - keep the $60 - when you ultimately get a room in the jailhouse.

Thanks from the Staff of SwapSellTrade Normally it doesn't take 21 days for delivery, 85% of orders arrive within 7 to 10 business days but we allow up to 21 days for delivery of any order as we contract with vendors for small portions of our merchandise for the parts we don't stock and thus shipments do get split ship and vendor a b c or vendor b.t.d. may not get its manifest of orders till a up to 7 days out from the time you order with SwapSellTrade as we combine orders from all customers to get volume pricing with the vendors that do ship for us. So when that transpires that could kill 10 days and then we allow 7 days for shipping and we toss in 4 days for any lag or stock issues internally. Thus the policy we allow up to 21 days for complete delivery of any order So as always SwapSellTrade will always deliver your goods as requested but we do allow up to 21 days before we consider any loss claims or tracking claims ---------------------------------------------- Joes states: ETERMS OF SERVICE FOR SWAPSELLTRADE.LLC A SUBSIDIARY OF NET DIRECT HOLDINGS LLC HILLSBORO OR 97123 Take notice Joe says Swapselltade is an LLC - here is that info: The info above was dated 2005 but he did not get the corp til 08-29-2006 Why all of a sudden - hummmmmm! go to http://egov.sos.state.or.us/br/pkg_web_name_srch_inq.login type in swapselltrade and see all his filings - Your welcome Joe!

I know for a fact that joe richey's old email address was [email protected]. I used to email him there. I always think it is interesting how often Joe changed his email adress and contact numbers. I only own a small business, but I go out of my way to make sure my contact information remains the same. Joe doesn't care about repeat business...he knows that will never be a problem and he treats his customers and associates in a way that proves my point.

My company, Kentstrading.com, is based in Johnston, RI. We have been unfairly connected with Joe Richey and/or Swapselltrade.com which is in Oregon! We are NOT in business to rip anyone off, as most of the complaints would suggest. We are a legitimate Wholesale Costume Jewelry business with thousands of very happy customers, and we have been in business for over 10 years! Please make sure you have all the facts before implicating businesses unjustly! It can be very hurtful to our business and can be classified as slander! Thank you, Summer Guerrieri www.kentstrading.com Kent's Trading Inc. 8 Industrial Ln. Johnston, RI 02919
