  • Amazing!!!! They cancel mine and one hour later tell you to wait two weeks.ARRGGHHH


    I also got the e-mail telling me my order has been cancelled. Would love to know their selection criteria for which orders get cancelled and which don't. I can honestly say I've never come across a more incompetent company in my life.
  • Well,I got the invoice listing the pencil,also a welcome pack which of course I did'nt get.
    Interestly it claims I still owe them £3.75,even though I submitted all CC details and it went through.
    I must check my statments,if I havent paid they will have a hell of a wait for the money.
    Thats AFTER the speakers are received.
    Will keep the pencil safe in case the baliffs want it back.
  • I received my pencil and welcome pack last week on the same day as a few others here and still am yet to receive my free gift. The invoice arrived today for a total of £.3.75. Now in lieu of the extremely late delivery (22 days! for me) is anybody entitled to a reimbursement of the relatively high delivery fee?

    We deserve it don't we?  ;D

    I have written to customer services with exactly this point. i will wait with bated breath for a reply.......
  • OMFG Staples, I have no idea how they managed to survive in the Business, their customer service helpline is just ** I appreciate you are frustrated with them, but can we watch the swears please? Edited by Abuse Controller **

    I've just called their customer service number, got transferred to the sales helpline instead, just the same as last time.

    the lady asked me to leave my number and everything.

    **Edited** THEM, HOW **Edited** CAN THEY BE? I wonder what the customer service team is doing.

    Can I advice those who are calling the customer service helpline for the free speakers, please stop calling them for a moment, as we all know there is nearly no chance of us receiving a free set of speakers from them.

    Please can you guys let me contact them, as they have only sent me the Welcome pack, but where is the pen i ordered??

    They have charged me £4.63 for the free welcome pack, but not sending me the pen i ordered, what the hell are they thinking?

    I am very mad now and I think staples deserve to go to HELL.  >:(

    Let me **Edited** them one more time!  >:(

    STAPLES, I CAN FORGIVE U NOT SENDING ME THE FREE SET OF SPEAKERS, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHARGE ME FOR NOT SENDING ME THE PEN I ORDERED.

    YOU DAMN THIEF!!!

    REJECTING GOODS NOT DELIVERED ON TIME


    Dear Sir/Madam


    REF: ACME 3 PIECE SUITE-ORDER NO 12345


    On 2nd February 2003, I ordered the above suite of furniture from your store, and was quoted a delivery date of between four and six weeks. I paid the full amount in advance. However, despite numerous calls and visits to the store, and promises of delivery, I have not yet received the goods.


    Under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended) I am entitled to expect goods to be delivered within a reasonable time. As it is now 11 weeks from the initial order, I feel I have been kept waiting for an unreasonable length of time. I now wish to make time of the essence of the contract. If you do not deliver the furniture within ten days of the date of this letter, I will consider you to be in breach of contract. The contract will then be terminated and I will require a full and immediate refund.


    Yours faithfully, etc.
