Advertised prices not honoured
Having ordered two disk drives from LaptopsDirect based on my previous experience of the company which was entirely acceptable, they waited 12 days and on the day before the drives were supposed to be delivered to inform me that they were having problems with obtaining stock of one the drives!
Looking at their web site I can see that they are still advertising the exact same drive as in stock albeit at a higher price and speaking to their sales team the issue is NOT that they can't source the drive but that the supplier they were intending to use to source the drive now does not have stock.
So rather than honour the price of the original order which they have taken money for already, they claim not to have stock so that you the customer can pay them more money for the same drive.
As far as a customer is concerned their contract is with LaptopsDirect as the supplier and any sourcing "difficulties" with individual suppliers that they may be experiencing should be transparent to the customer especially on price when they are able to source the items.
I will have to think twice about using LaptopsDirect again in the future and look instead to doing my business with companies who honour the prices advertised when accepting my order and taking my money or use etailers who do not take money until the item is ready for dispatch!
