It appears if you ask them to destroy the Steelbooks that's the end of the matter.

If you don't agree to this you have to return the form objecting and their may be legal proceedings

Firm has to be returned by 02/01/2015

I think it is unlikely anyone will be sued over this, it is probably the type of correspondence used for companies that import large volumes of goods. It could leave Group Buy hosts and resellers in a spot of bother though.

If you don't reply they will Automatically destroy them, then within 3 weeks a load of these will show up on eBay, guess I will leave it and now open a PayPal dispute

 

[dannywizkid]

[dannywizkid]

As you haven't had the disc yet either I imagine you will get the letter after Xmas, has anyone from the uk had this delivered by kpacket? Or have they confiscated all of them?

 

[gbdragon]

It seems the packages that are stuck since 02/12/14 are affected

 

[hellboydce1]

No telephone number on the letter

No letter as yet but not looking good.

How to prove that the goods are legitimate? Share forum link? Screenshot of the order page? Letter from KimchiDvD? Looks like this could be my last order with Kimchi.

 

[hellboydce1]

I think if they have decided they are fakes we are shagged

Here's a copy of the letter I received (personal information removed for obvious reasons), sorry for the weird shadows at the bottom, couldn't take a picture without causing one.


(Click thumbnails to enlarge).

A few things I thought I'd point out:

- On the cover page, they specify that the infringing goods are "Recorded DVD" and that the right holder is FACT.

To state the obvious, this is just plain wrong. The items contained are blu-rays, not DVDs. Also, it's not Marvel that has reported this - but FACT, as in the British organisation designed to protect against copyright theft. They won't have a clue if goods manufactured abroad are genuine or not, especially if they don't know where they were ordered from.

- On the last page, they say "if known please state the web address used for ordering the goods"

Again, goes to show that they haven't completed a proper investigation as claimed, else they'd know exactly where it was ordered from (especially considering it states the website on every parcel KimchiDVD send).

TL;DR, it's pretty clear a proper investigation wasn't performed and they don't even know what the goods actually are.

And the icing on the cake, is they send this out so that it arrives the day before Christmas, knowing fully well that the post isn't operating normally and that there are likely to be delays, yet demand a response within 9 days else they'll be destroyed?

Sounds like someone locked on to a cargo load of steelbooks and assumed they were fakes. Silly buggers.

[hayemaker]

I wonder why they didn't include the FAQ - What if Border Force have got this wrong and are unable to do their job properly?

They basically don't have a leg to stand on if they wish to start legal proceedings. You should return the letter along with as many other details as you can to confirm this isn't counterfeit. And word it very strongly (but not abusive).

 

[lgans316]

If I receive this letter I will reply back immediately with the following information:

1. Order page
2. EBay links
3. Forum links
4. YouTube unboxing video links

Write to them politely stating the facts. If anyone can do the writing in good English it will benefit us.

 

[hellboydce1]

So if I'm sending the letter back and complaining, what should I include with it?

Just got the same bloody letter.
