I think all websites nowadays they have terms and conditions which cover them, otherwise many businesses could crash, Imagine 1000 people on hotukdeals ordering a phone each and the company making £6000 instead of the actual price of £66000, would put them out of business. so expect a cancelation!
My order confirmation on their website was quite different to the email I got!!
will have to check my paypal account too see what they've actually charged me.

I've had a paypal e-mail showing £11.27 and the same debit on my paypal account.

I have caller display but not holding my breath that i will be getting these phones, just checked out the reviews on trust pilot, they are shocking! should have done my research first
phoebegrace
23 Jan 17#25
didn't realise the actual price of these phones at first, far to hasty and very poor reviews on trust pilot, looks like a cancellation email will follow anyway, i just can't resist a bargain!

You can still order by searching for the handsets manually. £11.27 inc VAT and delivery is nothing to complain about

My order previously said "confirmed" it now says "order with carrier"

i've also got the same status, on the order homepage it says "order confirmed", and when i go into the order, the status is "Order with carrier". Sounds hopeful

Ordered, waiting for cancellation email, great way to harvest phone numbers and emails to sell on, cause no one would do that would they?.

They have history for doing this! (Misprice)Would be a first for Viking Direct if some slipped through the net!
toonarmani
23 Jan 171#59
No, it would be 1 base station and 2 remote units (extra handset and main base station would be a spare).
phoebegrace
23 Jan 17#60
mine has also changed from order confirmed to order with carrier
greekmick
23 Jan 17#61
It mentioned the order came directly from supplier so maybe the order has been passed on and getting ready for dispatch. The supplier once he has the order from Viking doesn't care how much the were sold by Viking surely.

Mine too has gone to order with carrier, fingers crossed
iduno87
24 Jan 17#64
For those with the status "order with carrier"...
Thanks for waiting, the item you ordered is shipped factory direct and takes 5-7 working days so will not be delivered today. The item which is showing as with the carrier is your new customer package, and this will be delivered today
haggisheid
24 Jan 17#65
Did you get this on a separate email and did you get it today? as i have the order with carrier status but no other email since.
iduno87
24 Jan 17#66
No email, just used the chat service, and nothing has arrived today, I'm unsure what the new customer package is any way, Maybe someone who's used this company before will know more
toonarmani
24 Jan 17#67
Mine still showing as order confirmed :\
haggisheid
24 Jan 17#68
Thanks. Still waiting on it getting cancelled though, but would be nice if we get it
sam2142
24 Jan 17#69
Seems like it is back to normal price on the viking website. Also order shows reorder price as the current price on the site too. Hope the order was sent direct to the BT distribution centre hence making it really had to cancel the orders without a lot of manual intervention :-)
Animal4321
24 Jan 17#70
ordered a couple of other items I needed at same time to get over £30 (free delivery) and they arrived today (although one was broken!) so orders not being stopped because of it

I assume the items arrived without the phones?

same here

I ordered these too but still think they will be cancelled even if your order states sent to courier.

Still waiting on mine meeting cancelled, paid with PayPal and it is pending due to come out tomorrow, won't be impressed if money comes out of my account and have to wait to get it back.

Just had Yodel deliver a packet from Viking - containing one of their catalogues. Picking list states new customer package but I'm not a new customer :neutral_face:
What a waste of money paying Yodel just to send out a catalogue. If I'd wanted one I would have requested it myself.

If we have received a phone call cancelling our order and the money has just come out of PayPal, do we have to phone them up again to get a refund?
GemandJake
25 Jan 17#95
Havent had a phone call, no email either but have just checked paypal. Its showing as cleared but its now not showing up in my bank at all, even on pending.
GemandJake
25 Jan 17#96
Oops no, scrap that. It has come out of my bank but is showing at £7.99 not £11.27 (same as what paypal states). Werid.

Ordered BT Diverse 7450 along with BT Telephone BT6600 Twin Black. They emailed me on 23/01/2017 to say that they have cancelled the order (I think BT Diverse 7450), need to call them if I want to order at the correct price of £43.49 but the website is still saying 'Order Confirmed'.
As for BT Telephone BT6600, they have charged my credit card £7.79, website still saying 'Order with carrier'....Not sure what is going on, but hoping will get BT6600 or will contact to get refund end of next week or something.
GemandJake
25 Jan 171#98
I have just had a phone call from them, said they should of been £50 odd and it was a pricing error on the website. Was very nice, said it could be reordered at the price or would have to cancel. Oh well, some you win, some you lose :smiley:

25 Jan 171#99
Had phone call Cancelled
mikbish

Garbeled phone call too as was in a bad reception area ....was re cancellation I presume .
If money was taken out of PayPal , have I a legal right to still receive the item at price paid ???
derp1664
25 Jan 172#101
Nope, contract formed at dispatch or delivery generally. Check their terms&conditions it will be there somewhere.
phoebegrace
25 Jan 17#102
same for me £7.79 taken from my account still no phonecall
mikbish
25 Jan 171#103
I can see a business opportunity here then ... advertise something like a 50" tv for £100 ...get thousands of punters to 'buy' .., keep the money for a week before refunding ..and enjoy the money made in interest £££ Kerching £££

No phone call yet, no refund (money taken from Paypal) and the other part of the order was broken, replacement sent and then I received something that was not in my order that was meant to go to someone else. Not great service!!
toonarmani
27 Jan 17#107
Mine still shows as order confirmed, but I had a webchat with them and they confirmed it's cancelled on their side. Customer service are "supposed" to be ringing people, but looks like they are not.

Just done the same and advised that they rang me but as call not answered that is that, my fault apparently. Hmmmm
fabsaver
27 Jan 172#110
Same here. Do they expect us to sit by the phone all day in case they call :confused: Why can't they just send en email? It seems strange, almost as if they can't cancel in writing for some reason :neutral_face:
Apparently the refund will be processed in 5 working days. Hmmm good way to prop up their cash flow I suppose. They're quick enough to take the money but not so quick to refund it.

27 Jan 17#111
Glad I didn't order anything else at the same time. They won't be getting any other custom from me :smiley:

If it was possible for the customer service to get any worse it just has. after complaining and demanding a refund by return to Paypal on Friday I have just received an email from their credit dept to what she thinks is an internal colleague trying to arrange the refund, except, she sent it to me the customer!
sb170
30 Jan 17#119
Mine still pending, no phone call or email yet. I know I won't receive the phone now. I understand errors are made on prices and normally if handled correctly I would give a company a second chance based on customer service. I am at the end of the day able to choose who i shop with, if a company deals with me as Viking has no way would I shop with them again even if a good price appeared, as I know if I had a complaint I have a pretty good idea what service to expect. At the very least they could have advised us with that new technology everyone is raving about called email, not sure if it will catch on yet. Anyway rant over added to my avoid list
sam2142

What the heck is going on with them. Just got a email for a PDF invoice download. It shows they have charged me etc.. But I got a call to say it was cancelled a few days ago.

7 Feb 17#135
I'm having a hell of a problem getting my money back u definitely won't get the phones! Will instigate a claim with paypal. Lesson learnt do not use Viking direct shambles of a company. The customer operator at Viking tried to get me to call an 0844 number to resolve the issue which I declined as it's a premium rate number!

In my PayPal account the transaction still shows under 'Pending' with the line 'Your funding source will be charged when Viking Direct completes your order' so I assume no money has left my account let.

9 Feb 17#140
I paid by card, no contact and no sign of a refund after more than 2 weeks.
I've just fired up the webchat and the representative apologised and said he was chasing up with the card payments team and I should expect a refund to be issued today. I won't hold my breath.
I think a Trustpilot review will be left for their amateur handling of this.

JayMax

I got the refund back to my debit card about 2 days after contacting them using webchat. It appears you have to chase them to get your money back. I agree - unacceptable and a complete mishandling of their pricing error.

Use PayPal dispute. At least leave them a black spot for poor customer service.

My credit card was charged on the 23rd Jan, to date no refund. Seems like i have to call them to ask if i can have my money back, otherwise they will just keep it.
What a disgraceful company, will be going onto a few review sites to let it be known how this company operates.
