Hi Gregg

I am in exactly the same position as yourself - due to complete early next year in Bucharest through a major overseas property company. Furniture Direct Worldwide contacted me a few weeks ago to offer me their package (with 60% to pay upfront). I was nervous of touching them, and was also mystified how they knew the details of my property and its purchase price, so I contacted the property company that I am investing with. They came back after a few days to say that Furniture Direct Worldwide (FDW) is currently being investigated by the Spanish Police!! My property company then quickly produced details of their own "quality" furniture package - substantially more expensive than FDW. I have still held back from doing anything with anybody - not least because of the current strong Euro/weak Pound.
Just today FDW have contacted me once again - a new person, as if approaching me for the first time. So I went onto the Net to see if I could find out anything about them (beyond the site & details posted by themselves) - That's how I found your message. I'm not much help to you - except to say that I would advise you to be cautious. Will they produce the goods? And if they do, how can we get any idea in advance of quality? And if they have furnished so may properties so well and economically, why is there virtually no mention of them on the world-wide web.
For myself, I am not rushing in anywhere, but I am at present more inclined towards the more expensive furniture package of my proven major overseas property developer
Take care!
