    When i raised my concerns to Mr Wong about my outstanding orders and about my still not as described laptop my moderator position was taken from me within ten minutes. I was never asked to stay at any point although i was well liked by everyone and today banned from posting completely.

    People are asking on the boffer forum were you all are no body comenting except minx has said staff and mods dont comment on why people leave or are banned but she said she does not know. i have to be careful what i say as if oli does check this site. but i am sure you will be missed
    If ive helped click thanks it will make me smile :D

    being a moderator you have to respond to a lot of unhappy customers to get them to submit tickets rather than bad mouth on the board. Not good pr

    I have to say it annoys the hell out of me that they have an 'Ask Boffer a Question' forum but the boffer staff hardly reply in there - what the hell is the point in that then? I've posted several things in there (which mods cannot answer) and there has never been a reply.

    Boffer Says: The boffer sellout continues! Up to 3 per customer

    Did anyone order this?
    I'm having a lot of problems with Boffer over this, mainly that they can't give me a straight answer.

    I won't use them again, which is a shame as up to that point I was recomending them a lot, but I have found that they copy and paste standard answers with no relevance to the questions asked.

    They took money and then only when asked 12 days later about a delivery date did they then decide they hadn't got any in stock. (I ordered it hours before it "Sold out" and have screen prints to show it. I beleive it was 11.30ish am and it sold out after 4 pm) Why was it left to sell for several hours if there was no stock left before lunchtime?

    So, lately we've had the toolcards that were fakes, the keyboards where they advertised 3 and only sent everyone one and now this. It's not the first time I've had a problem trying to get an order processed, last time it refused to let me complete the order, so I submitted a ticket to fix and pay and was told, oh sorry it's now out of stock. Well it wasn't 5 minutes ago when I submitted the problem!

    I can't find anyone who had bought this laptop, yet they say the stock is gone, I suggest it was never even there, and they took my £349.99 with no way of supplying the item

    They say they have refunded, but as yet no sign on the card that was used, although I trust thats just down to process. Either way thats 2 weeks+ without the money paid.

    Very bad customer service indeed. I still have no answer as to why this happened, just 2 standard, we checked the warehouse and theres none, so we'll sort a refund. So thats a Christmas present I don't have.

    No alternative, or explanation of how it happened or admitting of their error.

    I'll review them on Ciao and mark accordingly. Very let down.

    You'll see on the other thread that they emailed out 2 days later advertising the same product from big pockets.

    If anyone wants to contact watchdog or TS with me I have all my screen grabs, emails etc to back up my complaint, including posts on the forums.
    All up to date and happy!
