what if my order doesn't turn up?

Hello,
just a few quick questions...wasn't really sure in which area to post this!

I was wondering what i can do if something i ordered from the internet (in my case from 'Fragrance Direct') doesn't arrive?

i've paid for the item with a credit card, and the 5 working days is now up.
should i wait until the end of the week before i call them?

also, if things aren't sent recorded delivery, how can you prove they didn't turn up, and are the likely to refund/replace?

many thanks

    hi, i just had a look at their website they claim to have an excellent customer service and be quick and efficient,why dont you contact them via email ? myorder@fragrancedirect.co.uk or phone 01625 432565 until 5pm .also did you get a confirmation email when your order was due as it might not cover the weekend?(mind you not all companies send confirmations)

    Ive never used this company but wouldnt worry about it!

  • thanks for the replies! :D
    i'll give it until tomorrow, and if nothing shows up i'll give them a call.

    this was more of a general question, and for future reference:
    if things aren't sent recorded delivery, how can you prove they didn't turn up, and are the likely to refund/replace?
    anyone know?
    cheers

  • I've used this company twice. I think that both my orders arrived after a week. I couldn't complain as the items I'd ordered were massive bargains. Give them a call in a couple of days ;)

    Yup - I've used Fragrance Direct about 4 times and they've never been anything but excellent.
    Admittedly, not for a good while though.

    Yep, FD are pretty good. However it's easy for Mr Post Office to take longer to deliver, so I'll wait it out a little longer.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.
  • I think Fragrance Direct are excellent! Both my orders came through within two days of ordering and they were well packed too!
  • hooray, looks like royal mail tried to deliver this today! :beer:
    just have to go to the sorting office tomorrow :rolleyes:
    (and sit in all day waiting for my new m&s card to be delivered by securemail services !!!)
    thanks for the replies :T
