These guys are crooks, cheats and liars. Lied about delivery time & items. Poor quality. Partially filled the order and sent alternative items because they were out of stock (of course the items were of lesser value but charged me higher. They would say they sent the rest of the order and then after learning the hard way after the 3rd no show asked for ref # and they couldn't get it. They avoided answering the phone for weeks. The whole ordeal took 5 months. Finally for the first and only... (read more)

I ordered a Ucaller and recieved it 5 months later. After a month I started making phonecalls to them and was told it was shipped, in the process of being shipped , or on back order depending on the person answering the phone. On many occasions I asked for the mananger of the shop "John" but often he was out, and was told he would ring me later. He never ever did. Once I called and asked for "John, the manager" and a young person on the phone said "just a moment I will get him" and then the... (read more)

Below is a copy of the email I just sent decoying.co.uk having received an invitation to pay them to go stalking:
I know this will probably never happen but please take me off your mailing list.
I ordered a decoy set from you 2 years ago, and you still owe me a refund and parts.
Hell would freeze over before I put any money your way and I will make it my mission to warn as many people to steer clear of your deceit, delays and probable fraud.

A follow up on this one - I received a threatening phone call about my house being on fire shortly after the above was posted on the site... the caller had a lancashire accent! I can't comment as to who is was but I can tell you that the police are in contact with the my phone company to trace the call and that decoying.co.uk have been indicated as a suspect.
I'll let you draw your own conclusions on this one :) - what a bunch of idiots!

I ordered goods value of £1625 over the internet and paid through sagepay. These people inferred that there would be a delay in delivery ( even though they advertised the item for sale on the website and not informing me that it was not in stock!) The money was taken from my credit card immediately after ordering. Eventually, I got fed up with waiting for delivery so I cancelled three weeks ago - still no sign of refunding my card which is costing interest daily etc. What a way to run a... (read more)

Have had the same experience - refused to cancel my order even though they'd admitted in writing that they hadn't even started work on the item.
I cancelled as they were taking forever to deliver, they ended up taking £240 of my money for an item I no longer wanted and unfortunately I just gave in eventually as wasn't worth my time and travel to fight them in court.
I wrote a review on here but they've complained and it's been taken down for review! I have the email evidence so am just awaiting this going back up on this site!
My advice to anyone reading this is DONT RISK LOSING YOUR MONEY as in my opinion these guys are DISHONEST AND RUDE!

If you have got visa on your debit card you can ring your bank .They will re-inburse your money back onto your card. This is what i done when i had trouble with DECOYING. The bank will then chase them up for the money .DECOYING do not like big business chasing them down for monies owed
