Be Forward ‘lost’ my car after payment

1. sad, sue them since you gat papers

   • Peter miyoba. mbokubede kuziima mudala langa ba bforward bakunina!

   • Yes you seek legal advice. From what I know, you can sue in Zambia since that is where you are domiciled. Then your summons will be sent to Japan by your solicitors. If they don’t respond or act in reasonable manner by hiring Zambian lawyers to defend them, then the court can determine the matter in default. In which case your solicitors will then engage a japanese solicitor to effect the court order. Remember if they lose the case all this will happen at their cost. SEEK LEGAL ADVICE!!!!

2. I have nothing ironic to add to this so I do sympathise with your predicament. Good luck.

3. If its true that could be sad and a unique one. I have bought vehicles through the Zambia agency along cairo road and they are very good. You get a tracking form till the vehicle lands. I don’t know or understand how that happened. They have been very good. It could be that maybe you paid wrong agents or bought through a wrong BF. Japanese don’t still.

   Sorry anyway.

4. This is not the first time I have heard this. Others have had their vehicles towed from Dar or Nakonde to Lusaka because they were defective.

   Buyers be ware of Be Forward.

5. The is a lot of issues with beforward. I have used tradecarview with no problems. One thing to avoid is communicating with sellers via email. Most of these are Nigerians that come up with all sorts of tricks numerous to mention here. Tradecarview you create a user name and password were you login to trade. Never communicate via email because email get intercepted or can be from a fake site.

6. Sorry dear but I have been buying from them (cars for re-sale) and have never heard of a missing car….there is always the first time but i hope you will have a breakthrough in the case….sad reading indeed.

7. It is very very heart breaking for something like this to happen and as you rightly put it, saving up to buy a car and have it go missing is very unfortunate. Surely, they should be responsible until the vehicle is handed over to you? Hopefully insurance covers this if it was included in the purchase price?

8. Sorry Miyoba . Beware people. Japanese don’t steal!!!! Work dear.

9. Trade carview is more secure,because the seller doesnt get the money until the vehicle is shipped and BL produced and availed by shipping line.
   SBT is also very good!

10. It is Nigerians who pretend to represent Be Forward.Look at their website,there is a warning against responding to fake e-mails representing them. Sad story.

11. I don’t think you were dealing with the TRUE Beforward Japan.

12. Sad story. However in June 2015 I bought a vehicle for my wife through B Forward Japan. The vehicle arrived safely at Nakonde in July. I had very good interactions with their Lusaka and Nakonde offices. Since this was the first time I was using B forward, I found their car tracking system a useful tool as I was informed at every stage with car documentations uploaded on their system for my download before I finally received the original car documents. This said B Forward should still help our colleague in resolving this matter. They cannot simply fold their arms if indeed they did receive payment.

13. Kwati pali naka motoka. Aka less than $200 eko you are busy on an anthill blowing your trumpet. Kanye kapoli iwe

    • You do not know what some of us go through to raise the so called ka $200=00 (K25, 000)

14. Sorry, l wish you paid through zampost, they are effective, my husband bought me frm be forward thru zampost.

15. I have bought more than 7 vehicles from Beforward and i have never had a problem with them. When you buy from Beforward, the vehicle has a warranty until it reaches Nakonde. When you pay through Zampost, the vehicle has also comprehensive insurance if you use them to deliver up to Nakonde or your home.
    There are a lot of fictitious accountsaacount

16. Beforward come out and answer these questions here. Obviously you have a lot of support in Zed but this could evaporate with such stories

17. Peter, that’s an extremely sad story. I have dealt with these guys and never had any problems. I really hope you never went to a rogue website. There are a few fake Beforward websites which appear genuine. The authentic website is www dot beforward dot jp. Scammers may omit one “r” from the word beforward and to an unsuspecting eye, that may appear genuine.

    • Be Forward never respond to queries if a customer is unsatisfied. Try Autorec instead

    • You could be right here. This guy, Peter Miyoba, says BForward and sometimes BeForward. These are different names. He could have been conned by Nigerians who know how to scam. He should have read and heeded the warnings on the BeForward website before remitting the money. You just miss out one letter and you’re dealing with scammers.

18. I find it strange that people still buy cars from Japan even when the were reports of nuclear exposed vehicles being offloaded to developing countries after the tsunami…how can waste money on those vehicles when you can get reliable MOT tested vehicles cheap in England.
    The author does even tell us what he ordered and when, his name to valid his story for all we know he might be another competitor.

    • Imwe ma Zambians! A new car is a new car. Stop buying these death traps. No amount of money will get you a new life!

    • Its a neo-colonial mentality to all the time want to trade with your former colonial master, to rely all the time on your former colonial master for everything. That way he continues to control you even after your so-called independence. You will notice that those who were colonised by the French have a tendency to think everything they do even illegal migration, should be centred around France. Those colonised by the Portuguese also think Lisbon is their nucleus. Japan is at least an alternative although not exactly what is needed for Africa. What is needed is for Africa to make these implements itself. What stops us? Lack of belief in our capacities. Governments in Africa should be working on this. It is 50 years after we chased the coloniser. Had we been serious we should have by now…

    • @Emancipate… – Are you new to this platform? You clearly you don’t know what is taking into account in manufacturing cars from new, even the power demands are simply not there to start, that before I even get to how many people can effort one and the raw materials.
      If you want to fight neo- colonialism start with removing Religious Education (RE) in schools and encourage knowledge of self…what impact do you think black kids have when the see their parents hanging a picture of a white fictitious man called Jesus and worshiping to it.

19. Had we been serious we should have by now created citizens who are proud to be Africans but we have Africans who are only ready to denigrate their continent and to admire mightier nations from the grandstand. The governments create citizens who want to spectate not to take part. Governments perpetuate neo-colonial mentalities by still clinging to Europeanised education systems instead of focussing on creating graduates who look to themselves for solutions

20. I always recommend SBT JAPAN !

    SBT is the best option to import vehicles , they care about customers and there needs.

    they give good quality vehicles and competitive prices

21. I don’t think u used the right be forward I have bought vehicles from them I never experienced any problems. Sorry my brother.

22. Beforward will not help much once they have the money in their account.
