After placing an order

After placing an order, the funds were immediately withdrawn from my card. Within the hour my order had been cancelled as apparently they had mis sold it at the wrong price. The item was a CD for £14.98, the cheapest price I had seen online, but not ridiculously low. The refunds was not returned with the same speed as it was withdrawn. I was offered a 20% discount on my next purchase, hence 2 not 1 star review

Hi Gareth,
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by the cancellation due to the pricing error and for the delay in processing your refund. We understand how frustrating that must be. We appreciate you mentioning the 20% discount offer, and we hope you will consider giving us another chance.

You had one job

You had one job. Ship the item safely to me. You used the thinnest possible plastic envelope with no bubble wrap or protection OF ANY KIND. As a result, the slipcover is beat up to shit and my brand new item looks like an acceptable-rated item on eBay, right on arrival. BRAVO 👏

Meanwhile, I had trouble with Belgian Post, which fired haphazard and confusing messages about delays and customs but CDs arrived safe and sound today.
