Good afternoon,
The order didn’t go through as no email confirmation but money
has been taken from my account?
Please can you cancel this payment
Thankyou
Gemma
Hi Gemma,
Thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the confusion this has caused. I matched your details using your email address since we did not have an order number, and I can see that order 2969 did actually go through on our end, that is why the payment was taken, though it looks like the confirmation email may not have reached you.
The good news is your order has not shipped yet, so there is still time to stop it. I am checking right now on our end whether it can be cancelled before it ships, and I will come back to you the moment I know. If it can be stopped, your full refund will be processed straight away.
Please do not worry about whether you are entitled to a refund. You are, and however this resolves, you will get exactly what you are asking for, whether that is by us catching it now or once it reaches you.
Warm regards,
Anna

Hi there,
I messaged earlier and had a reply with the order no 2969.
Unfortunately this came up on your system as declined payment so
I bought elsewhere but can see you’ve taken the payment. The item
hasn’t been shipped. Is it possible to stop asap and receive a
refund.
Many thanks in advance
Gemma
Hi Gemma,
Thank you for the extra detail, and I am so sorry for the confusion, I can understand how frustrating it must have been to see the payment show as declined when it had actually gone through on our end.
I can confirm order 2969 has not shipped yet, so I am cancelling it for you now and arranging your full refund back to your original payment method. This should land within 3 to 5 business days.
Please do not worry about whether you are entitled to a refund, you are, and this is being sorted for you now.
Warm regards,
Anna

Good morning Anna,
Thankyou for your above email last week.
I would like to let you know that I still have not yet received my full refund of £39.95? Please could I ask when I am likely to receive this as your previous email stated 3-5 working days, which has now passed.
Many thanks
Gemma

Please could I ask when I will be receiving my refund for
the order number 2969.
A total of £39.95 was said to be in my account between 3-5
working days? I still have not yet recieved this amount.
Thankyou Gemma Isherwood
Hi Gemma,
I sincerely apologize for this - you're absolutely right, it's been 8 days now and well beyond the 3 to 5 working days we promised for your refund of £39.95 for order 2969.
This should have reached you by now. Let me escalate this immediately to our team to verify what's happened with your refund and make absolutely certain it's sorted for you right away.
I will come back to you as soon as I have real confirmation, and I'm truly sorry for the wait and the inconvenience.
Warm regards,
Anna

Thankyou Anna.
I expect the money returned by Monday morning or I shall report to my bank.
Thanks
Gemma

Hi Gemma,
I'm so sorry it took this long, and that you had to keep chasing us for it. That was not right, and I understand completely why you'd reached the point of contacting your bank.
Your refund of £39.95 has now been processed in full, back to the card you paid with. It's gone through today, which is a Sunday, so it will start moving with the banks from tomorrow — I do hope it reaches you in time for the Monday morning you asked for. If it hasn't landed within a few working days, please tell me and I'll chase it directly rather than leaving you to wait again.
Please do keep the item — there's nothing to send back.
Again, I'm sorry for the delay and for how much effort this took on your side.
Kind regards,
Customer Care
Marlow London
Thankyou very much for your reply.
I didn’t receive the item, it was stopped your end before being dispatched.
Thankyou I appreciate your help
