Omg this is ridiculous, I’ve just checked mine which said “may be lost” last night but now was apparently delivered on 7 October 😂

daisyboo1 · 20/10/2025 09:37

@Elpheba can I ask where you got them from please?

I’m really sorry, just went to get it and they currently just have a 50% off sale offer and no student code :( got one a few weeks back so assumed it would still be there. This is on unidays so maybe others will have in different sites.

Thanks so much for looking - from what I see the offer on student beans ended on 13 October - never thought - and it’s so annoying as I could have ordered last week!
I appreciate you looking, hopefully well get student cards sorted this week too!!

zacsGranny · 20/10/2025 09:48

@ITSSSSCHRISTMASSS I'm waiting for a call from Amazon now but C Service are really busy.
This is getting ridiculous now. All the delivery updates have suddenly appeared, but no delivery.

ITSSSSCHRISTMASSS · 20/10/2025 09:52

I don’t have the bandwidth to deal with it atm, we are a house full of bugs atm. I’ve taken a load of screenshots, plus I have the transcript of my complaint yesterday and confirmation I’m getting a refund.

Im hoping they get a black mark against their shop as it’s ridiculous what they are doing, if they oversold or the prices were a mistake, just own it.

zacsGranny · 20/10/2025 09:53

Apparently Amazon Web Services have an outage, so no Customer Services at the moment

I agree. I wish I had the transcript of my conversation on Saturday promising a refund.

LandSharksAnonymous · 20/10/2025 10:01

@zacsGranny @ITSSSSCHRISTMASSS you can dispute the payment with the bank if customer service won't help! I had this with Sarah Raven earlier this year (claiming things arrived when they hadn't - always after I'd asked where the hell my parcel was) and the bank refunded me. Sarah Raven tried to quibble but lost (I imagine because so many people disputed their payments).

I'm sorry though - really shitty customer service from the seller!

We've got these, and connectix, and these are just as good

Same, no discernible difference quality-wise between Connetix and Desire Deluxe. I just bought a Used-like new box from Amazon. DD is forever trying to build larger castles.

I had an email to say my jumper was "lost" and I would get a refund. After seeing all your posts this morning I went onto the amazon app and it said delivery was delayed until tomorrow. I clicked on the contact seller button which took me to a chat bot which confirmed that a refund was issued on 15/10. My credit card app is down so I can't check if I've had the refund but I've taken a screen shot of the chat bot confirmation just in case I need to go to customer services.

*when you spend £30 might be handy for anyone popping in store for gifts/groceries

I spent mine on booze and Christmas chocolate!!

zacsGranny · 20/10/2025 10:28

OK - update.
Just spoken to a lovely Customer Services guy and explained the situation. The refund was cancelled - he thinks by the seller as they are claiming it was delivered.
Neither he or his manager can do a refund to my card, but they can refund on an Amazon Gift Card, which the seller can't cancel.
They have also upped the amount to compensate me, so I'm actually in credit!

@Qwerty21 when I pre-ordered the K pop Funkos with The entertainer they were £13, I noticed they've gone up to £15 now!

Cheeky! I hope that doesn't mean you'll have to pay £15

40% off site-wide at white fox starts tomorrow.

I’m not seeing this - is there a code or anything?

I don’t think so, I think it will just start tonight at 8pm. It does say it only lasts for 6 hours too. I had signed up to receive text alerts when they are planning a sale and I received it last night and again this morning

Qwerty21 · 20/10/2025 10:52

Urgh I've just checked my Amazon jumper order which has now updated to say it was delivered on 9th Oct. I spoke to CS on Saturday who said I was being refunded. I think I already got it but my banking app is down so I can't check it at the mo. Slimy gits

weareallqueens · 20/10/2025 10:52

Ah, ok. It’s maybe done.
