    Default Harsh Trading Tactics!

    WOW, I could not believe my eyes!

    Had my shopping basket ready to buy:

    Intel Core Duo E6600
    2GB of OCZ DDR 2 6400 800Mhz RAM
    Asus P5W DH Deluxe i975X

    And here is the culprit, Albatron GeForce 8800GTX.

    Decided to leave it for a bit as it was way past delivery deadline. When I came back it had reset its self so I did all the shopping again only to find that the graphics card had gone up by around £30 pounds within 1 hour, all because there was less of them! Now that is nasty supply and demand trading. :x

    I'll check the price logs

    hmm, £412.35
    it may be due to an error in the intiial pricing
    or someone felt we need more bubbly for the xmas party :wink:

    I'll see if I can find out

    Thanks, it would be helpful if you could put it back to its original price tomorrow. I think the original total cost came to £956ish and the new inflated price was £989.78.

    Thanks for checking the logs, can it be restored to the original price for tomorrow?

    Thanks for the welcome and the curiously seemingly late customer support service.

    Thanks for all the work you have done. I contacted the person you told me to and all got sorted and bought the kit.

    Just one thing. I ordered the stuff at 3:50pm and the person assured me that it will get shipped today without fail, I have received an email that it’s been dispatched at the warehouse, but I am still waiting for a consignment number, current time 6:10pm, does that mean I won’t get it on the 30th?

    Thanks

    if you have your order number you can track it with the customer Ref feild on City LInks Site

    http://www.city-link.co.uk/track_par...obno=&custref=


    Order number is in the format

    Thanks,

    I do have an order number like that, then when I do punch it up it replies to me with no order exists under this.
