    I agree too !
    It never ceases to amaze me when this happens the number of people that ring them up, even well experianced MSE'ers :confused:
    I can understand newbies doing it but not the experianced ones :rolleyes:
    The people I feel sorry for are the OP's who end up having their order cancelled too because they had the heart to let others know about it.
    It has taught me a lesson in the past that if I was lucky enough to stumble on a similar deal myself the last thing I would do is post it on here untill I had received it ;)
    No doubt this thread will go the same way as the B&Q Garden Office and Asda TV's and recently B&Q Zanussi Dishwashers etc etc etc. The orders will be cancelled, people will get upset after money taken from accounts, legal action will be threatened, screenshots will be taken, people will be phoning CAB's and getting in touch with local MP's............
    Meanwhile poor old OP never gets his item :o
    Everything seems to be going as expected up to now as I said earlier in the thread ;)
    It seems in the past that most people who pay by credit card as opposed to debit card end up with payments being taken.
    I paid by debit which probably won't go through.
    It won't be long before somone posts that they have recieved theirs and then everyone will want to know why some have recieved them and not others :rotfl:
    Fingers crossed someone actualy will :cool:
    It's not just about the money
  • Well I have checked my bank account and the payment has been taken! I paid with debit card so I did not have my hopes up!

    One step closer! - I hope!

    I hope people get their beds but I don't think its going to happen. Did anyone get the littlewoods bed a while back? Money was taken, talk of suing them etc....what happened there? As far as I know no one got anything..it fact I still havent had a cancellation email yet!:rotfl:

    Anyway good luck guys, fingers crossed, I didn't even bother ordering this time, too much hassle!;)

    Well I'm really pis*** off.

    Get an email YESTERDAY - to say misprice etc. and then they have taken the money out TODAY

    Can you believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Had this email just now:

    "Thank you for your email.

    You have previously been contacted regarding the cancellation of this item due to the incorrect price being charged.

    Due to this, the order is pending cancellation, as the payment has been taken as soon as the cancellation is processed the refund will be processed back to the card you paid with.

    Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

    Just thanked you instead of quote doh.

    They have worded that email very poorly. When a company takes an order the transaction is processed on your card usually at the time of ordering, the actual funds dont leave your bank account immediately it sometimes takes up to 5 days, I would check with your bank if the transaction was processed after the cancellation because its likely they had already processed the sale before cancellation took place, they cannot reverse it at this stage. Hope this info helps.
