Anyone else having problems with Chain Reaction?
I ordered a set of cycling boots a while back, even though they were flagged
out of stock - I had a couple of weeks to spare, I thought that they would come in. Unfortunately, they are still out of stock, and I'm about to be out of country, so I'm trying to cancel the order. It's flagged as "Processing" on the track orders form, so it can't be modified online, so I've sent (several) e-mails, which have not been acknowledged, and the phone is permanently engaged, even though I've tried upwards of 100 times in the last 48hours (according to PABX stats) Anyone else having any issues, or know of anything? Many thanks, pOB |

PoB tweaked the Babbage-Engine to tell us: Anyone else having any issues, or know of anything? I ordered a couple of items last week - IIRC a pair of brake levers and some handlebar grips and they arrived with the usual CRC promptness. -- Dave Larrington http://www.legslarry.beerdrinkers.co.uk Mr. Charles Kennedy (Krankieburgh): Would the Prime Minister care to comment on a report in today's Guardian that he: "arrived late for a meeting with Jacques Chirac, smelling of alcohol, and with body language suggesting a total disregard for the rights of ethnic minorities, lone parents and laboratory animals"? |

It is not always the online supplier's fault. Sometimes it can take months to restock products manafactured overseas. Though in the case of the 12 cateye mity 5 computers I ordered from Wiggle and took 4 months to arrive, the problem was not that Wiggle was out of stock, but that the product code had been changed following a minor specification change, and Wiggle had not updated their website with the new product code until I advised them that this might be the problem. |

It's flagged as "Processing" on the track orders form, so it can't be modified online, so I've sent (several) e-mails, which have not been acknowledged, and the phone is permanently engaged, even though I've tried upwards of 100 times in the last 48hours (according to PABX stats) As always if emails and phonelines aren't working I would deal by letter. Disputes done by post grind slowly but they grind small. Keep all your correspondence of course (including copies of your emails and notes of your phone calls). On to your actual situation: If you have notified the seller in writing (email counts) that you wish to cancel the order, then according to the Distance Selling Regulations they must comply. As a consumer you have until 7 days after delivery to rescind a distance contract for goods and since the goods haven't yet been delivered that time is not yet up :-). To avoid any dispute about lost emails I would send the vendors a paper letter too. If they have already taken money (eg from your credit card) you should ask for a full refund (including of carriage, P&P, etc. - specify the amount you want) by a specific date (give them 14 days). If they haven't taken payment yet, you should clearly notify them that your authorisation for them to debit your card is withdrawn. If they still end up owing you money, you can sue; alternatively, if they take payment after receiving your letter saying they're no longer authorised to do so, you should dispute the transaction with your credit card company who are (in those circumstances) obliged to reverse it. If they send the goods anyway then refuse delivery if you can. If for some reason that doesn't work and you end up with the goods then you must keep the goods safe (ie, treat them as their property rather than yours) and allow the seller to collect them. If they want you to send them back you should insist that they promise in writing to pay the postage. (If you cancelled the contract after shipment then they can, if they write it in their Ts&Cs, make you pay for the return shipping, but from your description that isn't the case here.) Example letter: Your Address Your Email Address Date Their Address Ref: Your order number ##### Dear Sir or Madam I notified you by email on #### that I wished to cancel this order. As I have had no reply and your website still lists the order as `processing' I am sending you this letter. Please cancel this order. If you send the goods anyway I shall to treat them as unsolicited goods and therefore as an absolute gift.[1] Please refund me the full amount I have paid (L##.##) by #####, by refund to my card or by cheque. [OR] You are NOT any more authorised to debit my card; if you do I will have the card company reverse the payment. Please acknowledge this letter promptly. [1] this is a bluff. -- Ian Jackson personal email: These opinions are my own. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ PGP2 key 1024R/0x23f5addb, fingerprint 5906F687 BD03ACAD 0D8E602E FCF37657 |
