Having purchased a voucher through KGB Deals for an iPad case as of 18.07.12 and then used the code for the item on the 19.07.12, I decided, that a week later, I would contact the company sending me the item. Gadgets N Gears.
I quite happily purchased the voucher, quite happily paid the £3.99 extra that Gadgets N Gears were requesting for the delivery charges and patiently waited.
I decided that a week later, I would like to have a little more information as to when the delivery of my item would be. Having paid £3.99 for the delivery, I would have expected the item to be posted via recorded delivery as opposed to standard post.
After the fourth email and no replies I decided that I would use their online chat. BIG mistake this was!
Never, in the entire history of my shopping life have I been met by such rudeness of the 'person' at the other end.
I started the conversation by stating my order number they greeted me with 'hi karen'. (Please keep this in mind as later in the conversation the 'person' states that I am a Sir!) This is my conversation with them

Is this a joke website? I'm getting the impression that it is not handled very well. Plus, if you are charging £3.99 for the P&P, surely that would include the postage as a recorded delivery?! After the last question, they decided to abruptly end our conversation and go offline. I honestly feel like I have been scammed by a company that would quite happily treat each and every customer with disrespect as they have already taken our money. Dishonest, untrustworthy, rude and a disgrace to the genuine businesses out there. read more
