    my order is stated as cancelled on their tracking link but no email to confirm this nor paypal refund.
    breweries and p**s ups come to mind with this company.

    Thanks OP.
    Worked great for me. I'd been after one of those USB turntables that you can (with lots of time and patience) transfer from vinyl to MP3.
    Maplin had a deluxe one on special offer from £80 to £60, so with the £15 off, I got it for £45. Ordered yesterday and it has just been delivered.

    I ordered last night prob got in just in time I've just logged in to see and my account is showing status as payment taken, but when i check the order in the tracking it says order cancelled:mad: I wonder which it is? no email. i'd ring but I don't want to alert them to my order incase I might still get it.

    As in Ninj4z post. I've just checked the invoice on mine and it says £14.99 unpaid.
    What can this mean? I mean, I know what it means, but are there likely to be any issues from this?
  • This is what my tracking says, surely they cant send an invoice and take the money then remove the discount later?

    agree completely. there is a live chat link on the site too but i don't want to use it yet for same reasons as you. i ordered a satnav which was confirmed. later went out of stock but is available again so i dont know what is going on.....

    great for people who got their orders. they can't take any more money without your consent (paypal would certainly not allow it). hopefully, you took a screenshot/printed/or saved the final checkout/confirmation page. that's s the final price they offered to sell it to you for. by their own t&cs, they are duty bound to inform you of a change in price.

    they might ask you for it back, nicely, tho....lol (joking)

    haha

    i ordered a satnav for £39, less £15

    (paid thru paypal)

    on the enclosed invoice it states underpaid £14.99, with a little section for a £-14.99 credit note

    as i have the goods, i dont see how they can come for this £14.99.

    i have also noticed that this glitch has gone!
