Benelux Shipping - Micheal Vaus

Post by JohnBrown »

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who's had dealings with Michael Vaus - trading as Benelux Shipping.

I would particularly appreciate hearing from anyone who's dealt with Vaus or Benelux in the last 12 months.

He uses a number of aliases, such as Sarah Saunders / David Vaus.

Many thanks

I've seen some of the earlier posts regarding Benelux and Michael Vaus.

Ideally, I'd like to hear from anyone who has dealt with Benelux/Vaus in the last 12 to 36 months.

I am aware of multiple County Court Proceedings and Judgements against Benelux and Vaus for substantial sums related to wine loss.

Sorry John, I’ve never used Benelux Shipping.

I have made several posts on this, I am out £90 due to them, but I was looking at Peacock auction website (in Bedford where I used to live) and saw the two recommended couriers for the wines and spirits auction this month are MBE Bedford - who I have used successfully - and the infamous Benelux. Not only this but they show the email address that's been hacked, the Landline that's out of action and the website that is dead. I am going to contact the auction house.
