Haven’t sent item, no communication

It has been 4 days since I purchased an item and there has no been update through the tracking, Royal Mail saying that they are still expecting it. Have sent an email and also tried to call but no answer, bought an item recently from CEX and that came in 2 days, they might cost more but at least they send your item on time, I very much doubt I’ll use this company again.

Highly recommend them

I bought an angle grinder, shipping was fast and it was really well protected with how they packaged it. the only issue is there was no tracking.
the grinder I received was in really good condition and the images on the website were very helpful. Highly recommend them.

Ordered something a week ago and apparently it's been with the royal mail for the last 6 days. You'd be quicker going to eBay lack of communication from the store too..

Free Delivery that is NOT free

Although the seller advertised free delivery, the item was held by Royal Mail delivery service because the seller did not pay for its delivery. I now have to go pay and collect the item from the local delivery office.

I bought a faulty laptop

I bought a laptop, only to discover it didn't charge.
I tried several charging cables. I took it to the PV repair shop. A few days later they told me that the port was faulty. However fixing the port won't promise if the battery was dead. I contacted CGX. They said that they wouldn't sell faulty PC. I was offered to return the PC, without a number to create the label. They deleted the link.
Bad service
