Doh - yeah cancelled and refunded - but no email - bit crap that IMO

 

Sorry you tried to rip us off for £2000? lol

 

My PC knowledge is none... I saw an ad on their site for an "amazing" PC and ordered it !!

What did I do wrong ?

I've complained !

 

Seriously? If so, in the name of G*d, why?

Nothing insulting or nasty..

I took the time to order, they should take the time to explain why my order has been cancelled

I just got that. Better customer service than I thought.

Boooooo, they didn't charge my card. Which means I won't get £4 for 30 seconds work

But they did thank me for the order and offer me 7.5% off next time!

 

7.5% seems a bit of a strange amount.. I wonder how much they will have lost from this little mistake

 

I dunno, but I have had a bad experience with them in the past, 7.5% is not nearly enough for me to consider going back to them. Thats part of the reason why I wanted a cheap PC...a little pay back for the hassle they caused me would have been great

 

I got it as well. I got an order to give them for over £900 so the 7.5% can go on a better graphics card. Nice.

 

How do you get the 7.5% off - did they send you a voucher? If so anyone who doesnt plan using theirs do they mind sending to me as just gonna order £750 of kit for my new build

Cheers,
Simon

 

By email.. and sorry bud I'm gonna use mine on my build

 

Looks like the viral marketing campaign has worked then

 

Yeah i kind of assumed this myself, the price was a little too convenient, imagine how much traffic they got over the weekend.

 

If it's a viral campaign, its very clever. Doesn't mean I'll order from them....but top effort.

 

They got nothing out of me, other than knowing that I still exist and must be buying my stuff from someone else

Been fun reading this thread, last year I found a Epson p3000 photo viewer/media player on e-buyer for £156, retail price then was well over £300, I purchased one and payed via paypal, and my photoghraphy buddy purchased one on his card. Mine arrived next day, I payed extra for next day delivery, his never came, they said they had to honour mine with it being a paypal payment and the funds cleared straight away, so sometimes you can get lucky !!!
