cd-wow not responding

  • I would just put an IOU in wrapping paper.

    Perhaps print off a picture of the band or their album cover and put it in a huge box saying 'sorry stuck in the snow, will be with you soon' or thereabouts!

    CD-WOW do deliver eventually but if you're on a timescale (i.e a gift for xmas) best to be on the safe side and purchase at a shop.
    The flip side of sanity is the game.

    I too have been waiting for an item stated despatched some time ago. I paid through paypal and raised a issue via paypal. CD Wow have responded and stated that the item is considered in transit and they will not do anything about it yet!!!!

    Totally fed up with them as I had emailed them several times with no reply. I shall await and see if I can get a refund from paypal.
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.

  • Mine has just turned up. That was the one posted on the 6th. The other one I haven't a clue when it will come.

    They took my order and money then told me it was out of stock, so goodness knows when that was despatched.

    Have had some damage limitation emails from them today, I think they have just realised who furious we all are!

    I ordered 2 items on 7th Dec - 1 despatched on 9th Dec only arrived a few days ago. The other was despatched on 15th Dec so going by timescales, I expect it will come but not as quickly as I would like. They did however e-mail to say that the despatch was delayed in the first place.

    OH not going to be happy with a PS3 on Xmas Day but nothing to play on it! Oh well, he can help wth dinner instead he he.
  • yeah our was despatched on 11th Dec and still not here.

    Furious as a school exam was sent on 17th dec , 1st class and arrived at my house on the 18th.

    I just received a standard email today, still no reply to my complaint. Wonder if they know how many are a bit annoyed about the service .

    I am also waiting on things I've ordered. Emailed them a couple of days ago and got a standard email reply :

    Thank you for your email and recent orders with CDWOW! It has been a bigger than expected Christmas period for us and our resources have been stretched, so firstly please accept our apologies for the delay in replying to your email. We value your support and are endeavouring to keep you as up to date on your orders as possible....
    Secondly, we are aware that some orders are taking longer than expected to arrive at its destination. As a result your order may not arrive in time for the occasion which it is intended. If this is the case, and you no longer need the item, then please following these steps:

    And then it went on to say how to return them - so at least when they eventually turn up I can get my money back if I've had to go and buy them again from a shop. Is there post tomorrow? I suppose there is a small chance they'll arrive if there is.

    Talk about by the skin of your teeth ... my ordered item arrived this morning just as I was off out the house to buy a replacement from Mr Ts!!!

    Merry Christmas to you all!

    Forgot to say, my item also came via Switzerland ... so I presume this contributed to the delay
