  • I've started a new food consumption regime in which you don't eat until you recieve your free 4.1 speakers - it's called the "Staple Diet" ;D

    I got an invoice yesterday (pens received weeks ago) with no charge for p+p, and I live in N.Ireland. First time in ages a company from England has given me free p+p!!! Can I withold payment until the speakers arrive or do I have to pay up now? It's the principle of the thing, not the 68p!!!

    Spoke to a very nice lady.. who said she would re-fund my CC for the money taken .. she got concerend when I remined her that they are in breach of

    "Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 which states that the trader must deliver the goods within 30 days of the order"


    still lots of nice words on their side...

  • Nice One!
  • I ordered this on 4th October, had an email saying about the warehouse move etc. haven't thought about it since. just checked their website to see if i could log in anywhere to check my order? ???
    by chance i clicked on the "verisign" secure site thingy in the bottom right of the screen, (it says to click to check, so i thought i'd be nosey! ;)) it says that their Membership(?) has expired, as of 17th September 2004! >:( >:(
    not sure if this means anything, but I thought you should know.

    Managed to get through to Staples after trying for the last few days but, because I was kept holding in their automated switchboard for ages, I was routed to sales.

    I was advised that the surround sound system was out of stock and I would receive it once it came back in stock.

    I will wait and see but I won't hold my breath.
    ::)
  • OK so we wanted the surround sound system coz it was FREE and we all ordered a cheap pen to get the offer. We should NOT be pushed around like this.

    Hi,

    I think if someone will put in writing complain to WatchDog, others will copy and fill in online.

    Please, can someone do it. I will be the first to thank that person :)

    I think everyone here gone through all stages.
    Have you got something to share - Do it.
    When you don't know - Ask.
