What Does Pre Order Mean
Help
hi can any one help me with this order i made ? it was for a coca cola travel case ? £3.20 it said the item might not be in but i could pre order it for when it comes in ? i as distracted at the time because of a phone call . my order was accepted and was told my order is being processed by there team ? i paid by pay pal ? when i put the phone down i looked on the site that had a clearance sale ,special offers ,small items etc ? but found out every one i pressed only showed the same 3 items in every category ? i also noticed the item i had just ordered was sold out which was not there before ? i went back to the main page to find anymore information and name says harrisbitsandbobs the person who is giving you this information is called harribo who is telling you this product if a fantastic deal ? i mentioned that harribo looks like a shorter version of harrisbitsandbobs but he told me he does not know what i mean ? i received another email thanking me for my pre order which my purchase is being recorded and will be sent to me as soon as they come in ? the sellout only showed after i did my purchase . i know i was distracted but i would not of ordered if i saw the sold out first because thats what the pre order was about ? there is a receipt that needs to be downloaded and im a bit scared to open it ? am i reading to much into this ? order help ????
To pre-order means the item in question is currently not in stock or usually not yet released but you can order it now and when available it shall be dispatched as soon as possible to your chosen address. Hope this helps, cheers.
just trying to make sense from your post and I believe you might have been scammed.Maybe just let us know what the website is called?Preorders are usually for new items waiting to be released (like games or music) and will be sold by well known retailers
hi i got it on this site ? sorry for the bad explanation im self taught on the computer and i get confused over the correct words ? please look at the product and tell me what you think ? the person who is praising the product has the start and end as his email of the company name ? but he sent me a email denying this ? [coca cola travel case] when you go to the site it has clearance sale etc but they have the same 3 items for sale ? i remember about 2yrs ago a item i liked was £4 and they charged for postage somewhere in yorkshire they said i would have to wait a month because they ran out of stock ? then i saw the same product for free on a chinese site the postage was the same and you got the item for nothing ? i knew the site did this to ex stock ? but it got me thinking was the place in yorkshire ordering these and making £4 ?
It does look as if when you ordered they had just run out of stock - but they took your order on the basis that when new stock was available your order would be dispatched.
If you paid by PayPal - I don't think you've much to be worried about other than a wait for the goods you ordered.
Sometimes (not sure if this applies in your case) you preorder things that are known not to be in stock but will be sent when they are.
I'm not sure on this but technically if you're not given a delivery date - the longest you can be expected to wait before you can cancel the order is one month. This is from when I ordered a washing machine from Argos via Ebay - that was supposed to be delivered four days later, they then phoned to say (just as I'd taken old machine out) it would take over a month to arrive - they carried on advertising it for next week delivery though - it's quite a common practice. I managed to get the delivery charge deducted though, on the basis they hadn't fulfilled their initial promise to deliver four days later. So I wasn't paying for what they'd not delivered. (pardon the pun)
Incidentally The Bush washing machines from Argos are not very good. (I'm so tactful
) Forget the days when "Bush" was synonymous with quality - Argos bought the name and put it on any imported crap they want to.
just thought i would update you with this order ? one of the worst deals i have had off this site ? i thought it was a case with items inside you might need while your on holiday ? it showed a photo of a small zipped case about 3 in square in the photo it had items inside the case and it said what you might need going on holiday ? i bought it for my grandson who is going to india to do some charity work it came today with nothing inside it ? fooled me by the offer and wording but i thought that by asking for advice ? i could of bought a tin of lozengers at them and gave the tin to my grandson ???
you need to be careful where you are buying from I dont trust any unfamiliar websites outside ebay and amazon
hi it was on this site ? someone posted it as a bargain ? after i paid out it looked as if the seller promoted himself because one name looked a anagram of his name ? it was so strange thats why i posted hoping some one could see what i saw he only had 2 items in his store ? he seemed offended when i pointed out the anagram lol ? this was the first time i have ever experienced on this site ? but he did promote his own item ?
