I made the mistake of ordering a sewing machine online without checking the company's credentials beforehand.
Got carried away with a bargain (more fool me).
It turns out they've been on BBC Watchdog and Rogue Traders in the past and haven't changed their ways since.
I immediately cancelled my order - same day and my request went ignored.
They sent me an email saying they were processing my order.
I reiterated that I wished to cancel.
They sent me a dispatch notification saying they'll deliver the item Exress delivery.
They did email me back when I stated that I refuse to be liable for delivery charges or admin charges
as I cancelled 2 days before they sent it out.
They said they had upgraded the machine from an ex-showroom model to a brand new one
but they'd try and cancel the delivery and get back to me shortly.
I have no doubt they said that to try and get me to accept the delivery
and from what I've read on other reviews/forum posts that would be a big mistake!
I refused the delivery and now they won't engage with me at all.
All of my 'Support Forum' posts have been closed without response.
I've opened a dispute with the credit card company but I'm not sure it falls within their remit
- I didn't take delivery,
they did try to deliver,
the item wasn't damaged,
they didn't charge my card fraudulently
... So where do I stand?
It's been 12 days since I placed and cancelled the order.
7 days since I refused delivery and 3 days since they received the item back at their premises.
(I have tracking proof).
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!!
