Sounds much better. That link you posted doesnt work for some reason.

The biggest I have seen on Play is 6GB, I tend to wait until they appear on the big online shop websites.

If you are refering to MP3 players, then yes I assure you can get a 16gb flash MP3 player with a microSD expansion slot too.

There is an obvious problem with the big online shops, you can currently buy this product at Currys online (saw one in a store at the weekend) but they are �199, if you shop around you can get the item as low as �120 online.

I certainly shall never use them again and as an IT manager I often get asked to recommend websites for gadgets and toys, a month ago they may have got a mention, but have now moved right to the bottom of that pile.

Well I think this thread is more damaging than any lack of recommending any of us could do.

I dont have any sympathy however, brought it on themselves.

Just had a phone call from home and the MP3 player has just arrived from http://www.pursu-it.co.uk/.

Sorry if it sounds like some sort of advert for them, it's not meant to be, but I like to praise good service and warn others of bad service.

After bombarding 'online memory' with e-mails finally got confirmation my order with them is now cancelled.

I have reported their unfair actions to trading standards and notified 'Safebuy' that they are fraudulently using thier logo.

I'll bring this back up because I ordered an 8GB micro card on Monday Dec 3rd. The webpage said "in stock" but the stock checker said "allocating stock", while an internet search said "cowboy alert".
I cancelled on 11th Dec, and received a prompt "I have passed this to the accounts dept for refund" email, but one month on, still no refund.
Avoid.
I will be contacting VISA soon if I don't get a reply to my emails.

What "last time"? I haven't ordered from them before. :con?

I found this page through google BTW.

At the start of the thread, Jon Flatman from the site apologised about it, yet other people had the same problem. Its obvious that its to keep orders even if they do not have stock.

After all the flak they got on this thread about it, I didnt think they would do it again.

some people it seems care very little about their customers, new and old, and continue to use bad working practises. :icon13:

.. in case you think bart was having a go at you Broadbandings .. he is having a go at the shop for the poor customer service they practice.

welcome to AAS! 😊

I'm still waiting for my refund, nearly 2 months on.

They do have a new telephone number and I nearly fell off my chair when a real person answered the phone within 20 seconds! Still, a bunch of excuses about a problem with the bank etc, and I should have my refund within 7 (working) days.
Maybe sandiskshop only work every other Tuesday ? 😉

bartmanekul 29 Jan 2008, 13:52

Id ring them up and tell them do it now or your calling the bank to get it refunded via credit card for an item not recieved.

2 Months is BS. Seems like they are desperate for money.
