It’s a phone for a business. Why is there a * and only for digits.

They have a shortcut phone number. Like dialing 911 in America. I've only seen this for big business/semi-government agencies.

Many large Israeli businesses have a phone line like this. It's just easier for customers to remember.

I’m trying to call it from the US. it doesn’t work. Do you dial the *? Is there an area code. I have a phone card and it gives me an error when I dial this number

Yes. If you're dialing from the US, you might need to put +972 in front of it.

I see you're calling מחסני חשמל.

If that doesn't work, then email them:
cs.mh@ecp.co.il

Thank you. I ordered something. I emailed to cancel but they completely ignored me. Now the package just arrived in israel. Idk what to do.I actually emailed that email that you posted twice. I ordered on Sunday and I emailed to cancel on Sunday and Monday and they received the item today...

I called this number and he said it’s not his store. It doesn’t say what store it came from on the receipt. Maybe I need to dispute the charge. Is this common in israel?

Does the receipt not have a phone number on it then?

It sounds like exactly what you think happened: you bought something, emailed them, they missed it, and the item was delivered.

I think you should dispute the charge. One of us can get on the line and yell at them for a while tomorrow, but if the item is already delivered and we're not you, it's going to be a stonewall. Best bet would be for the current possessor of the item to take it back to a store with the receipt and fight it there, new item in hand.
