Cancelled whole order a week after ordering

Made an order of 9 different items a week ago and they cancelled it today stating: "Sorry to let you know that this item is out of stock right now so we cancelled the order and issue the full refund."

Pretty sure all the items are not out of stock and I'll now have to now order elsewhere and then wait again, ideally needed these items this week. I see the items are still advertised on line as being in stock, so they don't know what they're doing basically.

Scam? …

Ordered large quantity of chocolates but received 1 small pack of chewing gum. Think I have been scammed!
Just been reading some of the other reviews on another site and this seems to happen to others. They then say that they have the GPS tracking to prove that it has been delivered. Mine was delivered but not what I ordered.

Shocking customer service

I ordered an interactive Globe for my granddaughter on 28/12, the website said it was 2-3 working days delivery. As of today 5/1/2026 the Globe still hasn’t been delivered. I called Papavel customer service and they lied to me. They said Evri (delivery company) hadn’t scanned the item - l know this was wrong as l was tracking my parcel and Evri hadn’t received it. Then the customer service assistant said ‘l had changed or got the delivery address wrong) - No. Finally she said the item was out of stock and she would give me a refund. I asked to speak to a supervisor/ manager and she said no one was available and hung up on me. When l rang back, no one answered. Do NOT order or trust this site.

Go elsewhere.

Bought a large pack of washing powder and received notification that the sale had gone through. After three days of zero communication I received a refund notification from the Shop App, no email to inform me my order was cancelled and still no comms despite emailing them.

If you actually need the items you try to purchase from Papaval go elsewhere.

No gaurantee to get your delivery!!!

Using unreliable delivery service who stole my parcel instead of delivering it. I didnt receive my parcel and the company Papaval sent me a picture of my parcel which was left on a pavement. I had the hassle to contact my bank for my money because Papaval refused to take responsibility of refunding for a product I didnt received!!
