Look at what you could have won....
« on: January 08, 2008, 08:29 AM »
Don't you just hate websites that offer stuff they clearly don't have, know they can't get but tell you they can anyway.

You wait a week for it to arrive. Then when you chase it up they say sorry were out of stock, but we can order it for you. If they can order it why the fook havent they ordered it already.

Then a couple of days later you get an email "sorry the suppliers have no stock we will refund you payment". Which then takes another three days and a phone call as they dont have your details.

So all in all, they have your money for around two weeks for fook all. When you could have ordered it from somewhere else if they had bothered to tell you in the first place

Arrrrrgggggh!  :rant:

it is very annoying!!!   :tickedoff:   my Mrs ordered me Mr Hoffmans book from a very well known book shop (black and gold signs) she ordered it on the 10th of December as the web site showed it as 'in stock' it still hasn't arrived and she has had to chase it all the time!  she's been told that it wasn't in stock and they have had to order it from the states!   :knuppel2:

a lot of shops are doing that now.
it's quite funny when i have stuff for sale and the shops drop their prices, so i have to drop mine too. but if you phone up these "certain" shops and ask them if they've got it, they'll say their expecting it in a few days when i know damn well that the distributors aren't getting them for at least another month.

one example was the bike kits i do. one member on here was waiting on me to get him one but i wasn't sure exactly when they were coming in. he saw another bike shop advertising them, so said he'll get one of them (even though it was more expensive, but at least they were supposed to have had it). when he spoke to them, they told him they're expecting them any day now. they were the same ones as i do. the distributor had no idea when they were arriving. the checked with the manufacturers and even they couldn't give a date. it's been well over two months and theres still no sign of them, yet a shop had promised a customer it would only be a few days.

i only sell stuff that i have in my posession.

One place advertised my frames on their website even though they'd never had a dialled bikes frame in stock, ever.

They keep your money in a nice high interest account and earn a bit of interest of it and then send it back.
All nice and legal and earning interest from your money. A great business.
