pixmania - grrrrrr

Sorry, it's a bit long but I needed to let off some steam!

We brought a new Tv from them back at the start of October, and it developed a fault within a week (the screen would turn it's self off after 2 seconds, but sound was still working) so we got it sent back.

Having read there web site it says you have to wait 2 weeks for them to recieve the goods back and sure enough after 2 weeks we got an email informing us they now had it.

We then contacted them to ask for a replacement to be sent and were told we would have to wait a further 4 weeks while they "inspecetd it"

After 2 weeks (well quicker than there quoted 4, but how long can it take to turn a tv on?) we got another email confirming the fault, but telling us we would have to wait a further 6 weeks while they sent it back to the manufacturer. :mad:

At this point we contacted them and basically demanded a refund.
Having finally been put through to a superviser on about the 3rd time of calling we were told a refund would be issued on friday 24th (tomorrow)

Today another email arrives telling us we have a gift certificate waiting for us, and it is for £43 more than we paid for the Tv in the first place :confused:

Having been on the phone to them again they say our account specifiys that we wanted a refund and the idiot I spoke to couldn't explain why we had not been given this. She then tells me can't issue a refund as it has to be cleared by a superviser (who of course isn't available)

I then asked at what point on Friday I should expect my refund and I was informed as we'd been offered a gift certificate (that we didn't want) it will be towards the end next week before a refund is issued!

Never again will we buy anything from these clowns!

    When I spoke to their call centre I had a very strong feeling that they were an outsourced operation as they had very little knowledge, systems access or ability to deal with issues (Eg couldnt give a refund for P&P when my item took 4 days to deliver on a next day delivery). Given the company is based in France as well it wouldnt surprise me.
