Well I have just had a Paypal refund (for a different return, not my 'double' parcel) & they've refunded the delivery postage too! :o Makes me wonder WTH is going on on that returns dept...

TuttoRhino · 23/01/2012 16:15

I called and apparently they are a week behind on refunds and I'm to call back at the end of the week if I haven't heard from them. Sigh.

FunnyLittleFrog · 23/01/2012 18:46

They ought to be trying to keep MN folk happy after this thread - I had never heard of them, never mind bought from them, until I read this. Lots of potential future customers...

ThatVikRinA22 · 23/01/2012 19:27

well they said they would phone me back today and havent. I have just tried to get through on the phone but after 10 minutes of listening to "let England Shake" by P J Harvey i wanted to find my copy and throw it out of the window....10 mins of it, on a loop, interspersed only by a woman telling me that i can request a catalogue through the website...or update my email address...it kept ringing, tantalisingly making it sound as though someone would pick up and then, i got old PJ Harvey again....

i used to like that album....

pissed off now. Feel im getting the run around.

FelicityWits · 23/01/2012 19:46

Apparently French Connection are in serious trouble (I read in a paper today I think), and they're the same company aren't they?

I'm worried I'll end up with no clothes and no money - if the stuff arrives I'll hang onto it and ebay it or pass it on to friends, I think. Mind you it's a lot of money Sad

Vicar that is rubbish. Grrr.

ChablisLover · 23/01/2012 19:54

Apparently they also own toast.

Hope they are not in trouble

PattiMayor · 23/01/2012 20:16

I can't find anything saying they're in trouble - not issued profit warnings or anything and their last dividend was a little lower than anticipated but they still paid out.

I think they're just struggling to cope with the flurry of activity ngdb's thread has generated :o

tanfastic · 24/01/2012 12:38

Well I've fucked up. Put my Noella dress in the washing machine, never give it a thought it might be dry clean only. It's now just about covering my arse whereas it was knee length. I'm gutted as it was so nice on.

ThatVikRinA22 · 24/01/2012 16:44

thats a bugger tanfastic.

i phoned them again today - still no resolution. They still have not asked for my proof of postage and still keep saying they will ring me back when they have checked with the warehouse.

i wont be using them again i dont think. unless they refund me pretty sharpish

trixymalixy · 24/01/2012 21:02

French Connection issued a profit warning in November.

Vicar, if you paid through Paypal or on a Visa card you could take it up with them if GP don't deal with it to your satisfaction. To be fair to them, they sound like they are dealing with a lot more orders and returns than normal given how popular their sale has been.

daenerysstormborn · 25/01/2012 09:24

oh dear tanfastic Sad is it salvageable at all?, is it just the length that shrunk or all over?

snowmaiden · 25/01/2012 09:33

Rene same thing hapened to me with paypal, gave them my card details and then they refunded by paypal!

tanfastic · 25/01/2012 09:38

Just the length. It was knee length and now it barely covers my bum cheeks. Ffs who makes clothes that are dry clean only these days???

daenerysstormborn · 25/01/2012 09:58

can you wear it as a tunic with posh leggings?

chaosisawayoflife · 25/01/2012 12:09

Getting pissed off now. Apparently they have no record of my return, despite me sending it back over 2 weeks ago. I have just sent them a photo of my proof of postage, if they think I'm posting the original to them they've got another think coming, it would be far to convenient for them to 'not receive' that too. This had better be resolved soon.

Sparklegeek · 25/01/2012 12:53

What the hell is going on in their Returns department?! I have a good mind to send them an email with the link to this thread in it. I wonder if that'd make them pull their socks up to get all our money back to us? Hmm

TuttoRhino · 25/01/2012 14:02

My refunds have just come through. Hooray.

I've been wearing my new GP stuff to work this week. Liking it a lot.

ThatVikRinA22 · 25/01/2012 16:27

well ive had a call today to say i need to send my proof of postage aswell - i could have told them that a week ago....

im emailing mine. they arent getting hold of my original either. obviously a problem with the returns dept.

chaosisawayoflife · 25/01/2012 17:37

Well, I take some of what I said back. Within 20 mins of emailing my receipt they had processed my refund.

Geordieminx · 25/01/2012 18:06

My 2 farrells have just arrived.

Black and Roebuck quite similar colours but at £16 each I can't complain. Ideal for work when I need to look like a grown upWink

Nevergarglebrandybutter · 25/01/2012 19:56

If you do send them a link to this thread, can you let them know I would happily accept commission! snurk.
although i do feel bad at those having a crappy time with GP. i shouldn't feel responsible should I.

daenerysstormborn · 25/01/2012 19:59

well fingers crossed to vicar's refund getting sorted like chaos's did

snowmaiden · 25/01/2012 20:04

I posted two items back on Thurs last week, how long is it taking people to have their refunds processed? I am getting worried now as I didn't even have a return form for one of the items as they missed it out. I spoke to the CS and they send they would send me a return label and they never did, so service seems somewhat questionable.

TuttoRhino · 25/01/2012 20:15

I mailed mine last Monday and got my refund this afternoon.

trixymalixy · 25/01/2012 20:34

I mailed mine on Friday and no refund yet.

Do you like the Farrell dress then Geordie?
