Paid a premium for next day delivery - then told (AFTER PAYING) can't deliver before 24th dec (the time the free service would deliver) and i am away.
Phoned customer services and was misled and lied to as i was told order would be cancelled there and then and i would get confirmation email
No confirmation email
Phoned again and told order cannot cancelled only 1 hour after placing order as it has "gone for dispatch"
Told I cannot be refunded cost of next day delivery
Two further emails unanswered after 24 hrs
email confirmation received with delivery details - CONSIGNMENT NUMBER MISSING SO I CANNOT TRACK ORDER.
Further email sent - unanswered
Terrible service, unprofessional and poor.
WILL NEVER USE AGAIN
Solved! Go to Solution.
Call back from a manager and told it would take well over a week for my credit card to be paid back.
I said that in light of the terrible errors made by his team an excepetion should be made and was told this could not happen as "the system does not work like that". I asked to speak to a senior manager and he said he was the manager and if i were to escalate the complaint i would get the same answer.
placed on hold for 5 minutes during call and not told why.
I asked for a copy of the complaints procedure - he said there wasn't one he would send me a link to customer services - he hasn't.
I asked why an oder for aTV was raised on my account with someone elses bank details on it - he said this was done in order to raise credit note and i should not have received the email with details and order confirmation - yet another mistake.
I honestly don't think he was very bothered which is pretty much what i expected really - deeply sad - love sony products and to think of all the money the company puts into design and manufacture and marketing just to have customers alienated by customer services.
Can't believe the experience i have had, don't understand why i have been told blatant mistruths and so many errors made on a simple order for a pro camera lens???
Will be taking this forward to Sony HQ for senior management to look at as lessons need to be learnt from this.
In the meantime will sit and wait for my credit card to be refunded and hope that no further dreadful errors are made
Sorry you've had such a hard time with it.
Its especially disappointing when you're looking forward to a new product.
The refund delay sadly isn't just Sony, I've had several refunds from other companys
take between five and seven days when I paid by card.
Fingers crossed all goes well
GUESS WHAT>?
This order was placed on 19th december 2013 - its now 2nd January 2015 - AND STILL NO REFUND.
APPALLED AND SICKENED BY SUCH BAD SERVICE SONY SHOULD BE ASHAMED.
NOW CHASING A REFUND VIA MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY
Apologies meant to say 2014...............................
FINALLY GOT A REFUND CREDITED TO MY ACCOUNT ON ORDER PLACED ON 19/12/2013
WROTE THIS EMAIL TO SONY OUTLET SALES TEAM
hello XXXXXXXX
02/01/2014 | 03/01/2014 | SONY-CENTRES.CO.UK | £296.01 |
I ordered a TV from Outlet on 26th October, had to cancel a couple of days later due to no longer being available for delivery and since neither received a TV or a refund.
We're talking nearly 3 months later.
I did however receive a credit note 10 days ago, but nothing has gone into the bank. What a mess
Agree one goes round and round very inefficient good it had closed I was informed by them today.
Very inefficient. order would not go through get stuck online.
Had nothing but dead batting, unhelpfulness rudeness and downright obstruction from Sony and their agent Spatial audio and vision. All I wanted was some technical help but was made to feel worthless and an irritant. Oh well good job I only spent the small amount of £1999 plus installation !
Hi @StokieChris
What technical help did you need?
It may be that a forum member may know something that will help.
Thank you for your advice Jumpsuit it is welcome appreciated
I have managed to cobble together the main items that were bothering me thanks but I just wanted to highlight the problems with Sony and their agent for the benefit of others before they become disillusioned as I did
Thanks again though Jumpsuit
Kindest Regards
