Hello, thank you for leaving a review.
We're sorry that your experience with us wasn't as good as we'd expect it to be.
First of all, we are sorry for the delay in advising you that the item you had ordered wasn't available, at the time we were looking for suitable alternatives and wanted to offer these when letting you know of the unavailable item.
The original 2 emails asking for an update on the refund had been filtered out and as a result, we hadn't seen these.
The next follow up, regarding the letter that had been sent in the post was replied to within 2 hours, but we received an email immediately stating that your inbox was 'full' and therefore that it hadn't been received.
We followed up the next morning to share this information but got the same message.
Giving this a few days to settle and in case this was an error, we followed this up but got the same response.
We then left a voicemail to explain this (followed up by another email), to which we got a reply later that day. Within a couple of working days from this, the refund was processed (we had staff out of office who process refunds, hence the slight delay).
We were advised that once the refund had cleared, the customer would update their review to show the version of events as the review was left during the time where they weren't receiving any of our emails.
This refund was complete and cleared 2 weeks ago now so we feel we had given the customer enough to amend their review but sadly this hasn't been the case, even after a polite reminder.
