Jarvis of St James Champagne

Gutted to say we were tricked by this guy. He was selling cases of champagne at a luxury boat show in St Katherine’s Dock London. Parted with over £500 and 3 months later, no sign of the champagne. Chased him and eventually he’s gone dark. No response. No champagne. Disappointed that a “luxury boat show” in London didn’t do its homework in letting him exhibit. Please share so others aren’t tricked.

Champagne lovely. I have 10+ bounced cheques and numerous promises none of which have materialised. He is at Earls Courts food fair this weekend. DO NOT PART WITH ANY CASH. Reading other reviews I have had every excuse under the sun.NEVER AGAIN.

I recently attended a boat show. I cam across a charming man his champagne was incredible! I ordered 10 cases. They arrived within 48 hours. Fantastic.

I can't believe this man is still operating , he took £500 off us at the York food festival in 2010 .

He has just popped up on my Likedin profile so he must be using this site to find more people do not trust this man don't ever give him any money you will never see your goods or money again.

I am contacting the police who delt with him in 2010to make them aware that he is still operating the bare faced cheek of the man

I ordered from him at the NEC british Ski and Board Show and paid £262 for 6 bottles. He has now missed 3 delivery dates and makes no attempt to contact you about it. He has now missed 3 deadlines to return my money.  I cant believe he still gets in the shows. I would have expected them to have vetted their sellers but obviously not.

His company Jarvis of St James or Premier Champagnes is dissolved according to Companies HOuse and the website address does not work.

I was also taken in by him 3 years ago at Wokingham Food & Drink Festival for £150. Usual story - his shipment involved in collision and needing to go back to supplier and ultimately the stock did not materialise. However, a happy ending. As organiser of Wokingham Festival this year I managed to get him to come back to Wokingham and unfortunately for him he had forgotten that he had taken me in first time around. Between me and a couple of my organisers we boxed his vehicle in and managed to get the money off him before we allowed him to leave. He even had the audacity to ask if I was still going to allow him to have a pitch!!

Do not buy from this man!

HE PROMISED TO DELIVER CHAMPAGNE FOR A CERTAIN DATE, WE PAID THE DEPOSIT WE NEVER SEEN ANY CHAMPAGNE AND TO DATW THE DEPOSIT HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED - MY ADVICE STAY WELL CLEAR

My husband and I had the missfortune to have met this man at the Essex Food Show where he conned us out of £223. Avoid this man at all costs.

We ordered 6 bottles of champagne from him at a Colchester fair in April 2011. He promised delivery, like he did to most others, within a week, two at the most. After many unanswered calls and text messages from us he made another delivery date, then another, final excuse his daughter was in hospital because she had had a car accident so he couldn't make it again. We called the police in Horsham who spoke to Essex police who are already dealing with him from a previous complaint. we then rang his home number over and over again, in the end someone got sick of it and answered-obviously Tim jarvis wasn't there at that time. We just keptcalling, mobile, home, mobile, home. We left a message with the perosn who answered his home number advising them we had involved the police. We received our delivery three days later....do not trust this man. I can not believe he is able to trade at these places without being vetted by the relevant councils first. We found his home details on 192.com Good luck everyone else.

We can also now be added to the list of people taken in by this man. The address he provided is fictitious. Registered address at Companies House.  Anyone been successful in reclaiming their money? OFT and Trading Standards informed once again.
