  • WHSMITH are not exactly the most consumer friendly in my eyes for such a large company. I have ordered before after seeing a bargain within moneysaver. They confirm your order then they realise something is wrong by means of stock availability dwindling rather fast. The process then becomes how many items you have ordered. As it happened I ordered 2 of (Red Dwarf) I received an email to say out of stock GOODBYE then a few days later they sent another email saying I could have 1 of which I had to confirm by email. With regards having delivered to the shop, it must have been at least 4-5 weeks from original purchase.

    This may have been a one off incident, hopefully this Futurama offer will pull through and renew my faith in WHSMITH. ;D

    A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

    A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent,
    the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.
  • Just checked my bank account online. I have 14.99 earmarked on my account. I assume earmarked would not consist of contract between myself and WHSMITH?...

    Likewise 2 authorisations on my credit card which doesn't mean anything yet. W H Smith can still cancel that.

    FWIW I don't see any reason why a mail order operation would bother earmarking funds if they did not intend to despatch the goods.

    I suspect that if you've had the funds earmarked, they will take the money, so the contract is in force.

    I may be wrong!

    Every bleedin time over and over, the same posts, the same comments and the same winges if it doesn't work out . I thought the game was clear by now :-) Oh well I have my order in and I don't give a pooh which way it goes. :-)

    you meet some funny men
    Some rob you with a six-gun,
    and some with a fountain pen

    This seems too good to be true - I think I'd better call them first thing in the morning to check that this price is right! What a fantastic sale offer!

    ONLY JOKING ;D

    Just ordered mine - if this comes I'll be amazed, but not as amazed as my brother when he gets such a brilliant belated Xmas present.

    Here's hoping. Kept a screen print of my order just in case. ;)

    ;D ;D

    I can see it happening, people ringing up asking if its a mistake or not, or going down to a store and asking the same question (or demanding a boxset from the store for £14.99 because its online ::) ;))

    GRRRR WHY DO THESE WEBSITES STILL NOT ACCEPT SOLO?!!? IT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS NOW AND IF 90% OF WEBSITES DO ACCEPT IT, WHY CANT THE OTHER 10% DO THE SAME?! IT IS SO FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU WANT TO ORDER SOMETHING AND YOU CANT USE YOUR DEBIT CARD! :(

    Plus they are losing customers!!!
    The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing:)
