Well, I'm not a noob when it comes to online shopping, I buy all my CD's, DVD's, Consoles and Console games from the Internet.
So i thought i would try my hand at finding a nice cheap Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card, I used magazines and www.kelkoo.co.uk to try and find the cheapest around. After all that i stumbled across Micro Direct ( www.microdirect.com.uk ), they had a Radeon 9800 Pro made by Ati for an amazing £136.89 inc VAT. I was truely stunned, one of the best cards on the market, made by the official manafacturer for a baragin basement price! So i ordered it asap!
Well that was 3 weeks ago -_-. I rang them up after it didnt come in the 3 day delivery period (what i paid £6 for) and they said, its at the Amtrak (the delivery company) warehouse in leicester because the address was wrong. So i though i must have been hastey and made an error, so i checked and noticed my postcode and everything was right except the street address. They had made one up by the looks of it! So i rang them up and they said i would have to pay £15 to have it redirected from the Amtrak warehouse to my address, so i thought well the card was cheap anyway, i'll just pay the £15 and that'll be it. Well i waited another 5 days and it still didnt come, so i rang them again. This time they had sent it to STOKE :|. Now i live in Leicester not Stoke! They said someone had signed for it in Stoke, so i told them they better get there act together and get it back and delivered to this address within 3 days. They said they'd refund my £15 for redirection and get the card to me within 3 days. Another 3 days past and not a thing, so i rang them up agian and this time they said its still in Stoke awaiting pick up, i was seeing red by this time and went abit crazy. So i thought fu*k it and canceled it and asked for ALL my money back, they said no problem. I gave them 5 days to pay th money back and its still not in the bank. I rang them again and they said i cant have my money back till they get the card back, well the card is apparently still in Stoke, and they have all my money!
I rang them up yesterday they said the card was on its way back to Micro Direct, my Mum rang up about 10 minutes after me and they said the money is being paid back as they spoke, then my dad rang up about 2 hours later and they said the card was in Leicester =/ .
So its pretty obvious there lying, so it looks as if im gonna have to go all the way to Manchester and either take the card form them then and there or take my money back.
I will be posting back to tell you what happened, and how many people i killed.
