Now I can see on the tracking that it's coming from China!
boo hiss etc..
Fine if you don't mind that but just be aware
Ordered something weeks ago for christmas and it's still not here.
Appears? Uses images which you can find on Temu/Whish/Aliexpress. Sells products which you can find there. Website based on the Shopify platform which is a known drop shipping service provider. No VAT-No. and no Commercial register entry (*)
*) Which could also mean less than 100k turn over. But, as the company trades under "MamaBelle" which violates the naming rules for sole proprietorships which must include the name of the owner.
It's the first time I unknowingly bought something via what you describe.
And the last!
Will do more DD next time, my bad.
You could make a report to the Seco because of the misleading name (Its correct in the AGB, but not on the Impressum nor on the general website). Takes a few minutes of your time.
Drop-shipping is a monster with 1000 heads.
Just pay attention to:
-
the Swiss VAT number and check it here https://www.uid.admin.ch/search.aspx
-
use google maps/street to see the building of the declared address. If it doesn’t look like an office building with the logos of business in the façade or somewhere else, don’t.
Here's a tip. Save a product image from the site and then drop it into image Google search.
The first article, some thermal kitted socks is CHF28.95 on the website in question but the same socks appear on many other sites, including Ali -Express where they are €4.71
With the advent of Ali-Express*, Temu etc, you don't need a middle-man drop shipper any more and can get the cr*p straight to your door.
*I ought to add that not everything is rubbish and, for example, Ali-Express sold Roborock vacuum cleaners long before the likes of Galaxus did.
Looks like it's based in CH:

Company called “amove Züger” at that address - Orthopädiegeschäft Gesundheitspraxis. And a yoga instructor.
Which is a nice apartment building with geraniums in the terraces.

PS. Company MamaBelle Gimigliano does not exist in the Swiss VAT register. So, it’s either: i) less than 10k annual sales, ii) tax e******* , or iii) tax e ****** and f****
Is there an official website where you can check if a sole proprietorship is registered?
Many thanks for that.
