    I agree. A polite apologetic e-mail would be a lot better than just plain ignoring us. It doesn't give me any confidence in their customer service so I won't be shopping with them again.

    Well I've been thinking about this one and IMO I think this is the perfect one to complain about. The fact that they have delivered free tights to people who bought something else even for very little and ignored the other orders without any payment now leaves them open for a trading standards investigation. I like a lot of you probably have a screen shot of my order and can still access my account which shows the order as placed, has an order number and I have a confirmation email all showing the oitem price at 0.00. They would have a lot of explaining to do about why they have sent orders only to people who have given them some money especially with it being in the news about false and misleading advertising. How can they say it was pricing error on the website and they do not have to supply the goods at that (free) price when they have done exactly that to selective customers. I agree with other comments you win some you loose some but maybe not this time. OK I'm ready for the bashing :rotfl:

    KingLarson - if it were my business I would send an apology, maybe a small discount instead - that's polite and good business sense. Potential clients will appreciate your honesty and the gesture and would be more likely to order again. Ignoring people doesn't give them confidence that your customer service is any good, they would just think if they ordered anything and had a problem that you'd never get back to them. I think they could have handled this a lot better and even worked it to their advantage. But instead they are shooting themselves in the foot.

    Magsta - I think we've given them long enough now, so go for it, and good luck if you do, let us know what they say :)

    'Order No: W*******

    with reference to the above order, just wandered what was was happening? My friend ordered exactly the same items but added a £1.50 gift bag so recieved the 'free' tights, so are you going to send these or not? Would rather you let me know either way as its not good customer service to just seemingly ignore the order!

    Kind Regards,

    Mrs Bakewell'

    This is what i have emailed them! Nothing to loose either way!!!!

    You think you deserve an apology because you tried to take advantage of a blatant mistake? Get over yourself! Joules have excellent customer service when dealing with real customers. I doubt very much they want you to be one. :p
    Gone ... or have I?
