  • They have as last admitted the mistake - here is the reply to an online query.


    Dear Carrie ******,


    Thanks for your recent order, which has been cancelled.

    We try to make sure all our website prices are correct. Unfortunately however, mistakes do sometimes occur. At the time your order was placed the price of the item was incorrectly listed

    The only money we took was £3.95 for the postage and packing, which has now been refunded.

    We look forward to seeing you online again soon. (
    I don't think so... :rotfl:)



    Carrie.

    They sent me a letter confirming a delivery date, took the cash , then waited 3 days before refunding my bank the amount they deducted without so much as an apologetic email or explanation. Then to add insult to injury I find they refunded the cost of the product but not the delivery charge, I had to phone to get that back.

    Disgusting Service...

    Exactly the same here - just sent them a stinking email and they would be well advised to give me the money back within a week as I am feeling litigous over this.
