Not sure where to put this thread, so thought i'd stick it in here.

Anyone made contact with them in last few days?

I've sent a few emails with no reply & called a few times, but i just get an answer machine.

Wanting to place an order but have some questions!

Also, their buy now, pay later bit from the finance has gone, only choice is 36 or 48 month loan, no thanks!

Cheers for any info.

Mark.

  • pretty crap with phones but jsut keep trying.

    As for emails... i'd guess they are sorting out throguh a back log from the xmas period so be a bit patient with them... it'll be the same everywhere i reckon.

    It was just about the finance options, i cant afford the £500 in one blast, but they had a buy now, pay later option, which was there yesterday, but not today.

    I've had problems with my laptop, which is now away getting fixed, when i got to the finiance application part, it crashed, twice.

    Then i realised because it had got that far, i had placed two orders! So in my prev orders bit, i have two full orders for the same stuff sitting there, waiting to be processed, so i need those deleted.

    But now i'm on a working computer, the finance thing isnt giving me the buy now, pay later option, which is 0% for 12 months, but with a 45quid admin charge, which is better than the option they have now, which is 36 or 48 months at 19.9%

    So i was going to get a 0% card to buy the stuff on, then pay it off over 12 months at £37.5 a month.

    But still have two orders sitting there, that i dont want.

    Phew, i think i may have over complecated that!

  • Is it snowing in Ireland? Maybe they can't actually get in to answer the phones, so put it straight to answer phone. If you leave a message, i'm sure they'll sort the problem out or phone you back.
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    Well, its not an answer phone as such, its a recorded message that says its an unmanned mail box, so no one will get the message :lol:

    We have contact!

    Though they've stopped the buy now, pay later option, so i'll have to have a rethink!
