    I changed on of my orders from another site after seeing the same product(messenger bag) here for much less (£59.99 to £45.00 inc delivery - 120USD TO 90USD)

    WWW.dealsmashers.com

    However, I've not received a receipt, order confirmation or even password reset doesn't work.

    I've been "first in line" for their customer services for the best part of an hour. I've already rung 20 times, the last 5 prior to this current call lasting 15mins.

    What the hell?

    They're not even replying to my emails. Feels like a veeeery shoddy company. I'm a bit paranoid that it's a fake site and I've just been scammed.

    Call your credit card company immediately and put a stop payment on that purchase.

    hmm ok how odd. After about 2 hours of non answered calls and disconnections after the long wait...I tried again just now just to humour myself at this stupid stupid call waiting fake company...

    ...and a guy answered telling me my delivery is coming. Something is up with other users using the same email company as mine etc etc.

    Phew. lol. One less thing to worry about. Damn stupid dell has made me paranoid about everyone because of their lying sales/csr and their magix delivery dates that have ZERO chance of coming true.

    The reason why your company said they couldn't stop the payment is because you had not made one yet. Credit card/debit card transaction start as a hold initially to ensure that you have the necessary funds. After a day or two of processing time (sometimes shorter, sometimes longer) the money will actually be taken from your account. Once this happens, the credit card company/bank is then able to halt the transaction and put the money back in your account. I don't know why it works that way, but it does.

    Doesn't it seem a little odd that the one guy who said he has used this site "many times" only made one post, and it was in this thread?

    just to let anyone who views this know, this is a legit company, they just have terrible customer service, i wouldnt recomend ordering off them but if like me you already orderd and then read this then keep trying the customer service line and you should eventually get through and have your order refunded!

    Just watch your account so you can stop payment. Forget the website now, just deal with your bank/credit card company.
