Are CDiscount ever going to dispatch my order?

yeah they then said i couldnt have it at that price after taking the cash from my account.....then doing a credit check after i had paid in full

avoid these con merchants at all costs they do this to increase their turnover to look more popular/profitable than they actually are......doctoring the figures

Did they actually contact you to say that? What was their excuse?

Though this was a fantastic deal I got, I'd happily pay Play.com £20 more if CDiscount don't sort themselves out.

"If you wish to cancel the item please let us know so that we can arrange for this order to be cancelled and refunded for you."

Best to try that IMO.

How long will this take 6 weeks

I've cancelled the last 3 orders with this bunch of idiots. I think that they use dropshippers, i.e. they have no stock of anything. The problem seems to be that they use the dropshippers that all the longer established UK retailers have stopped using.

The only thing that CDiscount can do efficiently is take payment for goods they probably don't even own. You can only hope that they'll disappear back to mainland Europe soon.

it took me 3 months to get refunded for my laptop last year when I bought a vaio which was never delivered to me. they blamed it on christmas traffic and agency staff and I was the one having to make all the calls from DHL to cdiscount and telling them what they were telling me which ran up £50 extra on my phone bill.
I kept asking to speak to a manager at cdiscount and they kept avoid the question, I'd phone up and ask to speak to the person i spoke to before and they would tell me theres no one of that name that worked there!
I did eventually speak to a manager and he was helpful and refunded my money straight away, no questions asked and gave me £100 credit to buy a better laptop off them and said if it was any more he'd make up the difference. He told me he'd put the members of staff i'd dealt with on disaplinry for dragging their feet and the DHL driver had been sacked as he had signed for the parcel for me and taken it, saying he'd left it with a neighbour!!!!!
But I only buy from them now if there is an offer you can't refuse and then i still worry!

Best for them to dispatch the order I paid for IMO. Would you have any insight into whether it actually WILL be dispatched then, as it's the 'not knowing' that's the most annoying.

I'm just glad this cropped up now as this is someone's main gift this xmas, something I don't fancy messing up on!

That's interesting to know. A lot of people who went for the code stack deals that were posted here got the 'out of stock' message on the site / product was removed, etc. I was one of the first to jump on the deal and got this fair and square, there was absolutely nothing to suggest it wasn't in stock at time of purchasing. The £££ was taken out of my account like lightning - CDiscount never contacted me 2 weeks after hearing nothing, it was left for me to contact them.

Take a good company, Amazon. If they have a mix up of order, delay, and so on, you hear about it within hours if not minutes of them getting the information. Why can't CDiscount do this?

Thanks for the posts all - unless they pull through soon I won't be recommending this company to anyone.

To be honest i've never heard of Cdiscount before, I dont normally trust companies Ive never used before.

Actually it was mate, as of a few months ago! On the phone to my issuer now, hopefully I might be able to get somewhere. Seem helpful so far.

What's the diff using a Visa Debit to recover these days?

Are CDiscount ever going to dispatch my order?
