    When I placed the Asda order last week it showed in stock not a mention of backorder at all! Play status shows as packing but the lady at Play says the stock is on back order and the item has not been sent out! Of course I have asked for refunds but that's not the point! Surely companies should not take payment until the stock is ready to dispatch or did I miss the point!

    i just spoke to play.com and the chap confirmed that thegarage item that shows as "packing" is unavailable but i have already been charged for it! naughty naughty play.com.
    i have requested a refund, as i would prefer to get my money back & take my chances with other stores getting stock in this week.

    Hi
    Everyone. Just wanted to say be careful when buying hamsters and accessories on Asda Direct and Play.com. I ordered a car on Play.com Friday last week and the status says packing. When I checked my bank account they have taken the money but I have not received the item. When I rung Play they say the item is on backorder as there is no stock! Exactly the same with Asda have taken the money but the items are on backorder. With no delivery times to speak off!

    Both items were in stock when orders were placed!


    And again. I ordered with Play.com 10 days ago and now it's not in stock.
    Why they took the order i don't know
  • Ive just rang Play, I explained I ordered the car on the 12th and the money was taken from me on the 13th however ive still not received it and my order status is shown as packing. She said this is because theres none in but i will get it when they get some more. I told her someone else ordered this at the same time as me and they received theirs, and also when i ordered it it WAS in stock and that they have charged me, so she put me on hold for a mo, she then told me she is sending a query up to the warehouse because it is showing that there was stock allocated to me!! So, im now waiting. The surfboard is showing as awaiting stock so now i dont know what if anything im going to get from them, I will be demanding my money back for the car if i dont hear anything in the next few days from them regarding the query to the warehouse!!
    Has managed to get Mr Squiggles, NumNums, A funhouse, A Ball, A Skateboard, an aqua bed, A Car and a Wheel. Surfboard on order from Play.com.
  • i have just posted on the ebay swap forum, the other half has finally secured our num nums yayyyy, and also spotted a chunk and pipsqueek while he was out so bagged them too. we are after some add on sets and accessories so we are up for swapping :) see me on ebay if interested x
  • I rang John Lewis in Oxford Street - they said they have no houses (or anything else hamster-ish) and aren't expecting anything until the start of December.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.
  • Play told me they would submit a query to the warehouse to refund my money and I will get an email confirmation. We shall wait and see.....
  • I'm off now, need to do some housework and am getting a headache again (the last one lasted 24+ hours). Will be back later.
