what a horrible company

I have never had a similar experience before! Placed an order 11 days ago, the money has been charged to my credit card but the item has not arrived. I sent several e-mails asking what is going on and they don't reply.
Wish I have seen this reviews before and will report them to watchdog and sage.

Worst company online

This company will take your money immediately and then never contact you again, you will get no responses to emails and you will have no goods sent to you. Without doubt the worst company I have ever had the misfortune to order from. Avoid at all costs

can't put 0 out of 5

The worst company I have ever had the unfortunate mis-pleasure to deal with. They took payment immediately and sent a very poor reply to my initial request for update to the order nearly a week later advising that it had been passed to the warehouse for dispatch. I ordered on 7th December and chased this up at the weekend after receiving nothing. On the 12th it was apparently awaiting delivery and I got the same email on the 15th. After responding to both updates to ask what is going on I have had absolutely nothing back from them. I have reported them to sagepay and trading standards.

None existant goods and customer service

I placed an order on 16th Dec 2010 and apart from receiveing an order number have heard nothing from the company. They state they use 1st class delivery. All my normal post and other parcels is getting through!
They fail to reply to my emails and I have now contacted SagePay to see if they can help.

I would not recomment this or any of the other offshoot companies of Gadget distribution Ltd

Choose a title that reflect 1 star

Placed order and payment was taken next day, however when i checked my account no orders had been placed, have found it impossible to contact seller due to only contact being email - which are ignored. Ten days have now passed, no confirmation of order, no communication no refund.

Would not recomend ordering from this company at any cost, customer service is non exsistant, trading standards informed. My worst internet order experienced.

Customer service-non existent. Not Genuine battery

1.What is one supposed to understand from this description:
====================================
Replacement Battery 1400mAh
[BAT-BA S410]
HTC Desire BA S410 Genuine Replacement Battery 1400mAh
A Genuine 35H00132-00M 35H00132-01M spare or replacement battery HTC Desire BA S410 Genuine for the HTC Desire, identical to the original. Capacity: 1400 mAh Model Number: BB99100
Replacement part number: 35H00132-00M, 35H00132-01M
Compatibility:HTC Desire & Google Nexus One
===========================
In any case if you take this to be a "HTC Desire BA S410 Genuine" its most definitely not Genuine!
2.Ordered also a desk charger -looks ok and does it job.
3.Car holder ok.
Customer service-non existent.

Does not comply with its own Terms and conditions

I made an order on 19/10/10 @ around 3pm. I cancelled it at around 3.30pm using the company's online contact us site. I have since sent several emails using gadgetbuyers.co.uk online contact us site and from my own desktop PC.

On 20/10/10 I contacted Sage Pay who collect gadgetbuyers.co.uk payments on its behalf to ask for asistance. Sage Pay advised that it had 'emailed the registered billing contact of gadgetbuyers.co.uk' on my behalf.

I find it unacceptable that from making the first request to cancel to the current time of writing this review (21/10/10 @10:54am) I have received no response whatsoever from gadgetbuyers.co.uk.

The Terms and Conditions under the right to cancel states "If your order has not been sent you should inform GadgetBuyers.co.uk in writing, ether by post or by using the online contact us form".

By the way I have checked and double checked my Spam and Junk Mail boxes and for additional safeguard added it to my contacts until I can resolve this matter and consign gadgetbuyers.co.uk to the unwanted list.

I have now contacted my bank for assistance and provided it with all the documention I have sent plus that received from Sage Pay and the company's Terms and Conditions.

Mike Reeder is apparently the registered person for gadgetbuyers.co.uk. Mr Reeder what do you have to say?

UPDATE: 21/10/10 @12:21pm
Received an email from gadgetbuyersemail@googlemail.com; on behalf of; Gadgets <sales@gadgetbuyers.co.uk> at 11:07am. The representative was "very sorry" that the order was already sent to me but would see if the delivery could be intercepted and returned to the warehouse.

At 11:15am I received the following from the representative of gadgetbuyers.co.uk:

"I have managed to get hold of Parcel force and ask them to return the parcel rather than deliver it to you. I will refund you in full now

I have been just informed by trustpilot that you left a negative review about us also. I am sorry for the delay but I hope you can see we have resolved the matter for you".

I responded as follows:
"Thanks for raising the priority on this matter and auctioning a full refund of my money. I note your request to remove my review but that is like saying something never happened. I aim to tell it as it happens which is then the truth which will speak for itself. I am more than happy to quote you below in the interests of truth, accuracy and fairness. My experience is my experience to assist others, the company needs to improve its communication with its customers to instil confidence in the buying process and to make its complaint site live and provide a telephone contact number when email fails.
I hope you find my feedback helpful in making your company more successful than is currently the case".

I am now monitoring my account for the refund of my money.

UPDATE: 23/10/10
I can now happily confirm that true to their word gadgetbuyers.co.uk have refunded my money in full. I feel I can now increase my star rating to two with the matter now fully resolved to my satisfaction.

No sign of product, bad and limited email correspondance

No sign of goods, ordered 12 days ago, I had sent an email to chase and they unprofessionally sent this:

"hi yes it has been posted this week to:
<address>
thanks"

So no grammar, capital letters, etc. it is as if a friend has replied.
No sign despite them saying it has been posted, and I sent a further e-mail. No reply so far.

AVOID - you can get same product for same price on other more reliable websites. Don't make the same mistake I did, I don't think I can complain to my credit card as the product is below £100, but will try
