Just to warn you guys Zavvi have royally scr#^ed me over. I checked out my order for the three Indy steels using PayPal, since every time I use my credit or debit card with zavvi it ends up getting frozen by my bank and the fraud protection squad leap in (likely because zavvi are offshore). I've gone through three cards now where this has happened and every single time I've had to cancel all my direct debits, subscriptions etc, total pain.
Anyhow I digress, I checked out with PayPal for these, and today I recieved an email from zavvi to tell my my payment failed and that I won't be getting these steelbooks as they've cancelled my order, and to be told:
'You can simply order your items again from our online store'
Oh thanks zavvi, that's great, does that come with a time machine also so I can shoot back several months to before they were sold out? So now my steelbooks are sat at zavvis depot, and I'm unable to buy them or change the payment or anything. What great customer service.
The email told me to call a number, which I did, which then had a recorded messages saying there is no customer services and I have to use e-form on the website. Totally diabolical. Even when they do reply, you can't email them back, you have to go back through the website all over again and locate your order history and then use the form. It's just terrible terrible customer service.
I spoke to PayPal themselves (who comparatively were very easy to get hold of) and they said the time out on any PayPal order is usually 30 days and if payment isn't taken by then they cancel it/it times out. Considering I have around 11 other steels preordered with zavvi currently, all checked out with PayPal also I'm now completely sc%#^# over. Absolutely ridiculous, and now I'll miss out on these totally, despite having looked forward to them for over a year. Atrocious, and I'll be writing an article slating their customer service for my column, appalling.
