"I am afraid Mr ******* but we have cancelled all orderrs for the game cube pak black as we cannot supply at this price, if you want one you can order one at the price of £105.97 on the site now"

Thank you Pat but back scuttle as much as you like your words not mine! off to trading standards in the morning methinks.

Pat did of course deny stating the above!! unfortunately Pat doesn't have total recall and if she did say that it wasn't what she intended to say.

Current state for me.

Phoned lady will pass on to department tommorrow they do not work sunday. I requested new bundle released 12 Nov not old one. Told to re-order said its not on website.

Virgin - had conf mail..no other mail at all. ordered 11.30.

We are sorry that we have been unable to fulfil your order on this
occasion and hope that we can be of service to you in the future.


funny how its on the website now as


http://www.tesco.com/electrical/product.aspx?R=8170081

we should all send emails complain about this

sayin they have really let the customer down and we wont be using their shop again

we u order the shopping they always send a alternative if its out of stock

I'd just like to point out that this http://www.tesco.com/electrical/product.aspx?R=8170081 item has always been on Tescos site (Before this whole debacle) and is not the same bundle as the one priced at £34.99! There is no memory card or GBA 2 GC cable with the above GC and Game!

That may be the case but as I said earlier in the thread this is no longer an issue of order and supply but an issue of false description and Tesco's deliberate attempts to deceive their customers with emails and verbal responses, Tesco are handling the situation badly and being far from honest about it.

I'm aware of how badly Tesco have handled the situation and I'm aware that in truth nothing much said can be done about it, apart from tesco losing a few hundred customers, if indeed they were ever customers at all.

But if people were thinking of using that above Gamecube and game as some kind of ammunition then, I thought it only best they knew that it wasn't a replacement of the pulled item, and that the item was always in stock at Tescos, prior to any misprice.

Ask yourself this question.. If the bundle that was priced £34.99 was priced £109 from the offset and you ordered one. Then later that day Tesco email you saying "sorry Mr/s X but we're unable to get that item anymore " what are you really going to do about it?

Do you by any chance have any sort of affiliation to Tesco, are you an employee by chance?

Addy

Or a shareholder?



I emailed Virgin yesterday, I am convinced they're in breach of both their own Terms and Conditions and the Sale of Goods Act.

Still haven't heard anything ::) Will copy on snail-mail tomorrow!!

I have nothing to do with Tescos, I ordered a Gamecube Bundle from them on Friday morning, and too was told they can't obtain them. At first I was disappointed, and then when they put the bundle back online at a higher price I felt cheated, especially since they were accepting orders on it.

However I really can't see what can be done about it, if they can't obtain, regardless of the price, the Gamecube Bundle, then they can't sell you what they don't have. And the wealth of disclaimers Tescos site has is enough to make sure they won't have to sell us anything similar.

Complain about it I will, but an apology is about the most I would expect in return.

Disclaimers are not worth the paper they are not written on if they break the law.

If I was a smart stock controller within Tesco aware of the fact that I have consoles due to pour into my warehouse @ retail of £109+ and in the full knowledge that they are available already elsewhere @ as little as £89 then I might just choose to put up a false add offering at a rediculous price to draw attention to my stock and then break the sad news to my prospective customers that it was no longer available "but look you can get one @ £109 from me how's that Sir? Oh great I'll take three!"

The laws and regulations are there to prevent exactly what is occuring here and rightly so.
