Can they be contacted!

Within the last month I have looked at the TVRplus.com website where they were having a 'massive' clear out sale. On the page were baseball caps complete with tiny metal TVR badges reduced to half price, £7.99. Put in an order, then discovered I had to buy TWO because of the mininum order of £10. Anyway after being charged £20 via Visa (inclusive of postage and packing). Surprise surprise, I have heard nothing or seen the caps. At the bottom of the website, the company trades as AVONDALE INTERNATIONAL and even gives a phone number, I have left messages on the 'now familiar' answerphone and yes you've guessed it, I have had no reply.
My question is: Any body else had dealings with this company? Have they gone under? Or just plain useless at communicating? I phoned the stores dept. of TVR and they say the guy used to trade with TVR, but not since the Russian has taken over.
I now await to see if I have been charged by Visa, if so they will get a call.
If any body out there can shed some light on the matter, I would love to hear. Otherwise all you guys thinking about buying, BEWARE!

Similar experience - would like to know how to get in touch with them.

I'll say no more here.

The company is owned/run by Chris Swift who is Peter Wheeler's brother-in-law. He's a really decent bloke and I hope this is just a glitch. He also has a coach works in Portugal, so maybe he's out of the country?

My wife bought me some stuff from them for my birthday last month and it all arrived the next day.

Thanks for the response guys, lets hope it is a glitch and it (the baseball caps) arrive in the post in the morning!!!!! Hmmm!!! IF & WHEN they do I will keep you posted, failing that all will be revealed on my next Visa statement in three weeks time.
