Great prices are worth zip without stock
Ordered a Dolphin Liberty 600 on May 15 because, honestly, the price was just ace. On the website, the item was clearly marked as "Available for dispatch" (and still is as of June 16). "Winner!" I thought as I'd been looking to get one for quite some time. Quickly ordered, paid, and sat back to await delivery.
Well, I sat a while. On May 21 I enquired about when the robot would be shipped. Surely, for things "available for dispatch", that would be fast, right? Wrong! It would be a week delay. Fine, that's acceptable. On followup on May 26, I learnt low stock and high demand caused further delays. How does that align with "available for dispatch"?
After a close to 30 day wait, I asked for the order to be cancelled and payment refunded which done within the 7 day time limit.
What annoys me no end is the mismatch between "available for dispatch" and actual stock. IoT Pool: please update your website to clearly show what's actually in stock or update your definition (again, CLEARLY) as to what "available for dispatch" actually means. If not, your representation of items as "available" could be interpreted as teasers solely designed to drive traffic and purchases. Because be fair: you did have my money the moment I bought something that wasn't there
