  • ordered and confirmed but then got txt saying order was cancelled! with no explaination as to why....hmmmm :-( Posted by kismat, uk
  • i ordered on thursday, had order confirmed recieved than got a cancellation text friday. then got email saying could not be dispatched due to security reasons. had ordered it to be delivered to cpw shop nearby. called to investigate and was told switch card had been rejected. asked twice if that was really true and said i would check with bank. was told by cpw that my bank would not tell me that information. i told them it would as it had done in the past. asked twice if my transaction on my card had failed and got 'no comment' twice. told cpw guy that i was pretty sure that when the website had said it was in stock on thursday afternoon when i placed the order they had already had more orders than stock and again got a no comment. asked guy if he had been told to lie and say card had been rejected and again got no comment.

    then he offered to take another set of card details and get me one next day. tried this and just as i was getting hopeful he said 'you wanted an 8 gb one right?'. surprisingly enough, just like world+dog i want a 16gb one so in the end got nowhere.

    and just to top it all off bank said that cpw had debited my bank account via my switch card..........

    no i remember why i swore off cpw a few years ago - they don't treat their customers in an acceptable fashion.

  • got told it would be delivered yesterday, now found out they sold more stock than they actually had, absolutely ridiculous, i could have gone else where to buy one if id have known. they dont know when they are getting more stock in, surely thats false advertising! Posted by josh, uk
  • Ordered the 16gb iphone on Friday 11th having been advised that the phone will be delivered during Monday.
    Monday came and went and now having called Customer Services, gone back to the store, they over sold and have been informed they won't receive any more until the 25th July...Absolute balls up from Apple and Carphone Warehouse.

  • i ordered on on friday 11th. on my receipt it said it would be delivered on Monday. Monday came and went. called customer service on Tuesday morning. they said it was loaded on a truck for delivery at 8:00 AM. waited all day. never showed up. Posted by cary, uk
  • Looks like I'm not the only one! Placed an order at 7:30 on Thursday night to be delivered for Monday 13th. The website said it was 'in stock' but when I called up I was told they'd over sold because there was an error on the website!! They then proceeded to lie to me and say it would be here by Friday the 18th, which I stayed in for to sign for and wasted a whole day for nothing! I even received an e-mail on Wednesday evening stating my item was in stock and would be dispatched shortly. Even now my order status is said to be 'being processed'!? I can definitely say I wont be dealing with Carphone Warehouse in the future!! Posted by James, England
