    Talk to your bank and see if they will do a chargeback, if the merchant account behind the site still has money in it you have a chance of getting the funds back.

    Out of curiosity, what was the site address?

    You really should only buy from reputable websites.

    If the site has gone and they were £150 for 2 pairs, not a reputable one!

    But we do know you can't get 2 pairs of GHD's for £150, it's not rocket science to work out something is wrong.

    Is it not a simple "wait 15 days from date of order, then raise a chargeback claim for non-receipt of goods" scenario now?
