Takes money when order had failed and out of stock!!!

Went to order and completed order and website said item is out of stock so can't fulfil order so please reorder if you wish to have item. I didn't but they still took the money, I asked to get a refund and they said 5-10days. Emailed again today got a instant message obviously automated rubbish saying youll get it 30days. Which is a joke I paid £158 for a soundbar and I need the money its a large amount to wait for kids to feed and fuel to buy. I best get the money very worried after reading reviews..

Not One Good Word to Say About This Company,
Advertised as Stocked, Phoned after 2 Weeks, and Quoted Around Another 3 Weeks as They Were Out Of Stock, Order Was Cancelled, Still Trying to Get Refund after Many Weeks.
NEVER AGAIN, WHAT A S-----T COMPANY TO DEAL WITH,
I have now learnt a lesson,

Worst Company On The Web

This company are Cons, Un-Professional

The don't fulfill orders communication is poor when you call up they don't have a clue WTF is going on with your orders

They don't have there managers number they cant put you through to them there down right pathetic
I am asking for Deborah Heer

My right have/are being miss used on the refund for Order numbers:
471-122-0298
101-122-8106

I have not been binding to legal contract due to my item was awaiting fulfillment which is not on your T&CS

Format of the Contract
These terms of sale apply to all goods supplied by WAE+ Ltd, whose registered office is at WAE+, 180 Newhall Street, Birmingham, B3 1SJ, (the "Supplier").
No contract exists between you and the Supplier for the sale of any goods until the Supplier has received and accepted your order and the Supplier has received payment in full (in cleared funds). Once the Supplier does so, there is a binding legal contract between the parties.
To clarify, your order is not accepted until you receive confirmation that your order status has changed to either "Awaiting Shipment", or "Items Allocated". It is at this point that a binding legal contract is created and any contract is subject to these Terms and Conditions.
The contract is subject to your right of cancellation (see below).
The Supplier may change these terms of sale without notice to you in relation to future sales.
To order goods through the WAE+ Ltd. Company website you must be at least 18 years of age. We will treat each order for goods as an offer by you to purchase the goods subject to these terms and conditions.
WAE+ Ltd gives no assurance as to the mutual compatibility of components sold on any single invoice. It is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure that the goods purchased are suitable for the purpose intended. Advice sought by the customer from the Company in this respect may be given but cannot be relied upon by the customer or guaranteed by the Company unless the Company has access to the working system and the ability to carry out a full inspection of any software or operating system.
Except as may be implied by law where the buyer is dealing as a consumer, in event of any breach of these Conditions by the Company the remedies of the buyer shall be limited to damages which shall in no circumstances exceed the price of the goods and the Company shall under no circumstances be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages.
These terms and conditions are subject only to UK law


Your right of cancellation
Provided you are not a Business Customer, you have the right to cancel the contract at any time up to the end of 14 working days after you receive the goods (see below).
To exercise your right of cancellation, you must give written notice to the Supplier by hand, post or via the contact us page, giving details of the goods ordered and (where appropriate) their delivery. Notification by phone is not sufficient.
Except in the case of faulty or misdescribed goods, if you exercise your right of cancellation after the goods have been delivered to you, you will be responsible for returning the goods to the Supplier at your own cost. The goods must be returned to the address shown within the Returns section of the website. You must take reasonable care to ensure the goods are not damaged in the meantime or in transit. In the case of faulty or misdescribed goods we shall, after receiving notification in accordance with clause 7.1 or 7.4, either collect the goods from you or ask you to return the goods yourself and possibly refund you the reasonable postage costs.
Once you have notified the Supplier that you are cancelling the contract, the Supplier will refund or re-credit you within 30 days for any sum that has been paid by you or debited from your credit card for the goods.
Except in the case of faulty or misdescribed goods, if you do not return the goods as required, the Supplier may charge you a sum not exceeding the direct costs of recovering the goods.
You do not have the right to cancel the contract if the order is for computer software, or for consumable goods which, by their nature, cannot be returned, save where a fault is discovered which could not have been discovered otherwise than by unsealing the goods.
Once you confirm your order as correct a standard cancellation fee will be at the expense of the customer.
An order cancelled in transit will incur the standard cancellation fee plus additional transit costs at the expense of the customer.
In the event of an order returned due to non-delivery, the transit costs will be at the expense of the customer

If i don't receive Full refund for both orders within 3-5 working days i will press this on a court appearance for WAEplus
mistreating my rights of sales of goods Contracts

If i'm not refunded in the time frame i have asked i will be in contacted with small claims court and prosecute

Your T&Cs have been saved for further use against your company WAEplus and i will exerciser's my rights on your company

Would never use this company again

Nothing more frustrating than purchasing a product in good faith then waiting over 20 days to discover this seller never actually had to goods in the first place and can't actually get hold of them.
Surely its better long term business to show an out of stock banner ?
That way your potential customer can make the decision to move on and or come back later if they desire.
The way this company operates only leads to cheesed off customers especially when it takes customers services 17 minutes to actually answer a phone and deal with the issue

Awful Service - no customer communication - no products received!

After placing an order on 3/7/13 & paying extra for next day delivery our product didn't turn up. After calling them the next day the delivery charge was refunded to our card & we were advised the product was out of stock but would be received shortly ... oh no it wasn't. Despite several phone calls and an email to Management the product still hasn't arrived as of 21/8/13. After a further call today, and not being able to speak to a Manager, we have cancelled the product with, hopefully, a full refund to our card! This is the worst service we have ever received - not a single communication from them to apologise or offer an alternative.
I would have given them -5 but wasn't given the option!! Needless to say we won't be using them again!!

Will NEVER use again

I am sorry to say that the service that WAE + have given me has been diabolical. I placed an order on the 26th June 2013 for items that were showing in stock. I called and spoke to someone at the time, who confirmed that there were 12 units in stock, so I placed an order for 12 units and made a payment immediately.

Since then, the only communication we have had has been when we have chased the delivery. There has been no updates about the order at all, even though they have all our contact details (which are checked for SECURITY reasons every time I call).

I have today been told, after chasing again, that they can not supply these items and that the order will have to be cancelled. Furthermore, I will receive my refund within 30 days. This is TOTALLY unacceptable. When I placed the order for items that they had in stock, I was expected to pay immediately. Now, 2 months later, they want me to wait another month for a refund!!!!

I have waisted valuable time and effort chasing and chasing for 2 months now. Had I been aware that they could not supply, I would have made alternative arrangements 2 months ago. As it stands I have to now start the whole process again.

I have checked the item on their web site (item number 116147) which still shows as In Stock and they are taking orders for it. How is it that they can not supply to me???? Or is it the case that they are taking orders with payment, knowing that they can not supply, stringing people along for a couple of months and then taking another month to refund. This will mean a very healthy bank balance.

I am going to find out what Birmingham Trading Standards have to say about this situation. I have also reported this to BBC watchdog. I will also be using my Twitter and Facebook account to ensure as many people know about this scam as possible.

AVOID WAE+

I placed an order and it was nice and easy but all through the delivery date there was no status update. On the last day when I called up the agent over the phone confirms the order has been delayed. As a customer am I not entitled to have this information before hand?? I have placed a cancellation request and now hoping to receive the funds in (hopefully) 30 days!!!!

Uttery Untrustworthy stay well clear.

Ordered a harddrive from them with a 6-8 day delivery on 2nd July. Every email I recieved back from them was standard and saying it would be with me in 6-8 working days. A month and a half later I have cancelled my order and been advised refund wil be in 30 days. I dont really even believe they will give me a refund but we'll have to wait and see.

Find another site, pay the extra money it will be worth it just to have your item arrive on time. I only gave them one star because there is no option to give them none.

WAE+: THEY DO NOT SUPPLY WHAT YOU ORDER

WAE+ took my money just two days after placing the order.

Then two weeks later they told me that they could no longer supply the MP3 that I had ordered, and i am still waiting for my £47.71 to be refunded. Yes that's right, they said they would give me a refund, however i am still waiting

Whatever you do DO NOT USE WAE+ they are SCAM artists DON'T deal with WAE+ there is far, far too much hassle in dealing with WAE+

DO NOT USE THEM FOR ANYTHING

WAE+ IS A SCAM NEVER TO BE USED!!!!!

I ordered a mobile phone on the 28th of June and was informed that it will be delivered in 12 working days. Contacted the company on the 26th of July and was informed that the order will be fulfilled shortly. I did not get an communication what so ever and today is the 20th of August and I still have not got my mobile phone. I called the company to talk to a manager but I was advised that the managers do not take phone calls. The company has a call centre in India and you will have to send the manager an email. You do not get any response once you send the email.

I would advise you not to use this company because it is a scam and a rip off.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY UNLESS IF YOU HAVE MONEY TO WASTE.

A scam and a rip off

I decided to by an E-reader from WAE+ as the price was very competitive. I was told it would take 2 weeks for delivery which was fine. Having heard nothing on the 14th day I called them up to be told they were out of stock and it would be a further 2 weeks. I decided for the saving this was too long so cancelled and asked for a refund. I was told this would be dealt with. I did not hear anything and so chased it up only to be told they need my bank details. This was the first time such a request had been made. I have since sent several messages and 30 days on I am still waiting for this elusive refund email. I think it's a disgrace that when people are looking to make savings and cuts companies can act in such appalling ways with no respect for the customer or their financial situation.I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY EVEN IF THEY WERE THE LAST WHOLESELLER ON THE PLANET. Do not use or trust

Stay away!! Scammers!

I ordered this product (amd fx8350 processor) on the 30th of June, after waiting 2 weeks for it to be delivered - which it wasn't I was informed that it was out of stock and they would not get any more in so I could have a refund or something of equal or lesser value to which I replied refund please. They then informed me that thier t&c's state you will have to wait up to 30 days for the refund. It is now the 19th of August and no refund! Every time I phone or email them they tell me my refund is on its way but I highly doubt it and because I payed by direct bank transfer I doubt I will ever get my money back. Stay away from this company they will rob you and torment you with promises of refunds that will never come!

Avoid...and absolute waste of effort - a company not to be Trusted

An order was placed on the 28th of July for a Livewire Powerline AV...following the item being "In Stock"... here is the definition of "in Stock" should this company care to read...
"1. A supply accumulated for future use; a store.
2. The total merchandise kept on hand by a merchant, commercial establishment, warehouse, or manufacturer."

I received a confirmation email that detailed I would receive the item between 2nd and 5th of August.

Chased on 13th...told "oh we have had an issue with the despatch Warehouse ...item will be with you in 5 Days ..We promise...."

A follow up telephone call today and ..Yes you have guessed it .... its not in stock but on its way from the supplier... what a load of rubbish... then its not in stock then is it !!! - Nb this item has shown in stock from july to the present day.

Should a refund be requested this will be issued with in 30days, and if you make a complaint it needs to be in writing and they will respond no sooner that 28 days to your complaint...which could go on for Years ....

This company in my opinion should be banned from trading, and I have forwarded all my detailed information to the OFT .

I have just realised, the items are "competitively" priced because by the time you actually get them they are vintage stock, and the interest earned on the money received , will more than likely pay for the item time and time again..

as a previous post explained....PLEASE DO NOT use these people ...unless you have money and Time to burn... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

PLEASE AVAOID THIS COMPANY

Avoid!

Waited for delivery of ordered items, after items had failed to arrive within specified delivery time phoned customer services, to be told a shipment from Europe was late, and would I like to wait another 10-14 days or so. No contact was made despite them knowing this was the case (if the excuse was even true). I asked for a full refund. Over 10-14 days later, which the site says 'the majority is returned back within that time' (majority of refunds/credits if i have read the site correctly) , I phoned again to be told to wait for a full 30 days. Over 30 days later, no sign of refund. The staff I spoke to were polite, but that is the only good thing I have to say - the company seems to me a sham, I await to see if I will ever get my money back. In fairness a lack of due diligence on my part, but i would personally recommend avoiding this company - It does not seem i am alone in that opinion either!

Officially the worst company I have ever dealt with.

It has now been two months since I order a part shown as in stock. I was fobbed off for four weeks continually being told it would be back in stock in a few days. I cancelled the order after 4 weeks and then was told I would have to wait up to a further 30 days from cancellation before I got my refund. Two months later still chasing a refund. You would have to be mad to use this company. Gave 1 star as I cant give no stars!

WAE+ ? Very unimpressed - in fact, I think it's atrocious

I've waited 8 weeks for my delivery. You were supposed (ie contractually obliged) to deliver within 5 days. After 2 weeks without a word, I had to contact YOU to ascertain what was going on. Now another 6 weeks have passed with no communication from yourselves.

What am I supposed to think about your company when you cannot even communicate with me to explain the excessive delay. Most companies would at least try to make some excuses to their customers and endeavour to retain their customers for the future.
