    I've just had an email too with a refund notification. When I checked it yesterday it was being processed.

    There's no explanation why I was refunded, but I can't even access the website!

    See, due to the circumstances surrounding this issue, I would say that their get out won't apply. They also state that they won't take the money until the item is ready to be despatched. They took the money from me on the 12th. Where's my item? As stated in my previous post, they've had plenty of time to cancel these orders without taking the money. Why did they not just cancel before? They've also made it impossible to contact them via phone (down today and tomorrow for "essential maintenance" - yeah, right). Their website is down, too.

    I agree with all you say. I have emailed them, not expecting a reply though. I too will phone them on Monday.

    I think you will get a reply, but it will be one of those standard responses which doesn't answer the question. Would be interested to hear what they say. I too am going to phone them on Monday. I think it's unfair that some people have received it and others haven't.

    If you don't phone, at least go to http://www.virginmegastores.co.uk/contactus.jsf?_rtid=1

    Here's what I've put in
    I wish to ask why payment was taken and my order cancelled and refunded with no explanation? This is against the law (Sales of Goods Act), you have taken payment which forms a legal contract, which means you must supply the goods.

    The website response....
