What a nightmare this company is to deal with. I made a relatively small first order of 5 shirts paying by PayPal upfront. The items were in stock and I was expecting delivery within a few days. A week passed so I logged onto my account and it showed they were still awaiting dispatch. Curious as to what the issue may be, I rang the customer helpline. I was told by a young gentleman that credit control had put my order on hold, I asked why as I had paid upfront by PayPal, credit control should not even factor into my order (I also checked that the transaction went through....it did). The young man looked into it, then apologised and tried to put me through to credit control so they could release my order. After a wait on hold, he came back on the phone, apologised and stated they must be busy but that he would send them an email requesting they release my paid for order. A week later still no order! So I logged in, guess what?.....yes that is right, still "awaiting dispatch". I rang up again and this time a lady answered, I explained the problem previously, and she said yes it looks like credit control still have not released the order. I requested that my order be cancelled and due to the reviews on other review websites including google told her I would be requesting my money back directly through Paypal (customers have allegedly had issues with refunds not being made, or being invoiced twice). I told the lady life was too short to be chasing few shirts I could buy elsewhere, she did apologise and I realise it was not her personal fault but I did state I felt credit control/the company was incompetent. I will be especially annoyed if their credit control has conducted a search on my credit file (leaving a search footprint that affects my credit score) when I paid for the order upfront. I will be checking this out as I never signed a credit agreement with them. I would not bother with this crowd again, a bunch of time wasting messers is probably the kindest way I could put my experience with them. Thank goodness my 1st order was a small tester one and not full kit especially if they are going to potentially be a nightmare to obtain a refund from.
