Total Scam! You have been warned!. After payment, the standard you will receive the item(s) in a week... a few days after the week the website and phone number that I got from the site prior to pakayas.com shutdown did not work (they got it from GODADDY, said it was available). You can only get your money back from your bank if you fill out paper work and close your account. FUN!. Any other recommendations positive it's a good bet it's from the scumbag himself. The F. B. I. Says they are in Florida, that's all I could get from them.
This is a fraud... ordered something on December 12,2009 and got an email confirmation then nothing an no website exists now...
I ordered a Nintendo DS game for my daughter on Dec. 9th, 2009. It was supposed to be a Christmas gift. It is now January 8th and I still have not received it. I tried to contact pakayas.com but kept getting sent to a "go daddy" website. I tried to e-mail the address listed on my paypal account but haven't gotten a response. The item was listed as "shipped" but no further tracking information was accessible. I am hoping to have paypal resolve this dispute. I have opened a claim against pakayas.com.
On December 10,2009, I ordered a Wii program and as of today have not received anything. I have emailed Pakayas and have yet to even get an email back.

This is so crazy, I ordered from them back in november and they told me 7-10 days shipping. I ordered a baby swing, 2wks went by and they said it was because of the holidays. So I told them i never got a tracking number, they said okay and would get back to me. Finally a week later they responded and said a replacement would be shipped out and sent me a tracking number. I did get the baby swing three days later. Thanks god i got mine. That is terrible. They must have been starting to go under then.
I purchased (2) baby gates through this site and they indicated that they shipped the gates. They even provided me with a tracking number. When I checked the USPS tracking number, the USPS web site inidcated that they had delivered a week prior. I was home all day the supposed date of delivery so I immediately thought something was fishy. I emailed Pakayas and immediately they offered a full refund. I immediately reordered the baby gates thinking "Man this company offered me a full refund due to a shipping error" The second order was a complete disaster. They didn't provide a tracking number nor can I get a hold of them. I immediately contacted Paypal and they will be refunding me the full amount after 10 days. My only wish this Christmas is that the scum that run that company are held accountable. If anyone is considering a law suit with this company, I would be happy to help out.

I did two separate orders through Pakayas.com - one for a dvd and one for a book about a month prior to Christmas. Two weeks later, I had not been charged for the items and had not received an email about my order being shipped or anything. I attempted to contact Pakayas and when I went to their website it looked completely different than when I had ordered from them. I searched and searched for a customer service # without any success. I went to the Better Business Bureau website and could not locate anything about Pakayas on there. I finally found a number after doing some searching online and called the number which ended when a mailbox came on the line and said that it was full and that I couldn't leave a message. My husband later found a different # and left a message for them telling them not to charge our credit card for the items or we would report them as fraud to our bank. I would STAY AWAY from this place. I was shopping through "Google" when it returned results that had Pakayas listed and the prices seemed right but now I wish I had never ordered from them. This place is definitely a scam and I would stay far, far away.
TOTAL SCAM! Glad the site is down so nobody else gets cheated! THANKFULLY I only use paypal online and I have filed a dispute with paypal - looks like alot of people have so I am hoping that I will get my funds back pretty fast! Wish I would have known before! Ordered on 12/09/09 recieved confirmation same day - got e-mail 12/12/09 sayind item was shipped and would take 7-10 days to get to me. 3 weeks later still nothing. Terrible!
Thief! I purchased a couple of hair trimmers as Xmas gifts back in early Dec 09. I figured they hadn't arrived due to heavy mail volume. I sent them an email asking about the order and have received no reply. I did search on the Internet and found a lot of complaints. I closed the payment card I used for the transaction. I've been using the Internet to shop since 1997 and have never been outright ripped off like this guy did me. Enjoy my money for the short time you have before they find *******@ss and you get payback instead of paypal.
Same bad experience as expressed here so many times. Ordered DS game, never received, phone non existant, no replys from customer service, etc. etc. I have a very disappointed 9 year old. Thank God I used Paypal.
DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SITE. I ordered several items, was charged by the company, and never received anything. I could not get a hold of them via email or phone. I am dealing with Paypal to see if I can get my money back.
Enough said.
They're gone now. Hopefully no one else got ripped off like I did...
THIS SITE IS FRAUDULENT.
I ORDERED A BOOK ON DEC 6. PAID VIA PAYPAL. RECEIVED SHIPMENT CONFIRMATION THE SAME DAY. THE CONFIRMATION TOLD ME ABOUT THE ORDER NUMBER, AND SAID SHIPPED VIA STANDARD SHIPMENT 7-10 BUSINESS DAYS. 17 DAYS WENT BY. NOTHING ARRIVED. THERE IS NO CONTACT INFO PROVIDED. THEIR WEBSITE IS DOWN. PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR THIS COMPANY.
I had the same experience as everyone else ordered an item for Christmas and never got it. I did check my credit card and luckily I was refunded 100% of what I was charged thru Paypal and that was only after I sent a email to Pakayas looking for my order for which I never recieved and answer back too. I looked on the internet for this site and it is no longer there. Fortunately for me I was able to find the same item on ebay under a reputable seller and just recieved my package today 6 days after I ordered it.
God I wish I had read all these reviews first. I've had the exact same experience. Now I have to go through disputing the charges on my account. Ordered a Wii Fit, got the confirmation that it shipped, now nothing.
God I feel so stupid.
Some of these other reviewers sound ridiculous. I've dealt with this site before even though they are no longer in business. The reviewer that stated they paid via paypal and then someone tried to charge 2100$ to their credit card is just plain stupid. When you pay through paypal, the company doesn't get your credit card information nor do they have the authority to authorize anything more than what you wanted to buy. IDIOT!
I seem to be having a similar experience to many other here. I made an order recieved confirmation and a shipping confirmation but of course no ds game for my daughters new ds for xmas. VERY p. O.'d. I tried calling but the number is disconnected. Not all the links work! I am very disappointed in myself for not checking into this site further, something was telling me not to do it, but I am a sucker for a good price! Now I guess I have to find out how to get my money back as my credit card went through paypal but I don't have a paypal account. I also imagine the people leaving good reviews about this site are connected to the company in some way.
This site is a scam. They had a good price for a Mario DS game. I didn't want to pay with paypal so I paid just with my credit card. I got a weird confirmation right after I placed my order with a receipt number and everything but it was from paypal. I thought that was weird. A few days later I hadn't received a shipping notification so I e-mailed them. Nothing came back. Last night, we got a call from our credit card saying that there was a $2,100 charge that tried to come through for some kind of "food" company. We told them that was NOT from us. Luckily the CC company had denied the transaction anyway. Our card had to be canceled though and we have to wait for another one. AND i have to try to find that game from somewhere else. Annoying.
Edit-
To Jenson B- read what I said again IDIOT! I DIDN'T PAY THROUGH PAYPAL! IT WAS A FAKE CONFIRMATION THROUGH PAYPAL! THIS "COMPANY" IS A SCAM! AND I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU ARE THE SCAMMER! "EVEN THOUGH THE COMPANY IS OUT OF BUSINESS" Whatever! You only know that because it's YOU!
I wish I had checked into them before I did this. It's also pretty obvious that the positive reviews are fake.
Same horrible experience as others writing in. Placed order, rec'd e-mail notice that the item shipped vis usps. Charge appears on bank statement, but nothing ever came. Customer service e-mail and phone numbers do not work. There's no address, just a P. O. Box. I'm disputing charges on credit card and filing a police report. Pakayas is definitely a fraud. Ruining Christmas!
