problems with Shopto.net


Recommended Posts

Ok so on the 24th March i ordered a Wii motion plus dongle thing and paid for recorded delivery, it never turned up so I waited 2 weeks before i could claim form shopto. now a few days after i ordered my wii motion plus my card got cloaned, so i rang the bank and cancelled the card.

Now on the 7th April shopto sent a refund automatilly to my cancelled card (only discovered this when the refund didnt show after 4 days) because my card got cancelled it was totally shut down, and a new card was issued.

Shopto.net are now unwilling to refund me to my active and valid card as they say the bank has their money, so they wont refund me.

I have copies of all bankstatments showing the refund has never hit my account, and also an email from shopto.net showung that they refunded to my cancelled card

Shopto are totally fobbing me off, and i now have to wait till the 24th April before i have to claim via the bank to get my money back

shopto have relly ****ed me off recently its unreal

I don't know what the rules are on this one, but it would seem a bit unfair on ShopTo if they had to refund you twice because you didn't realise your card had been cloned.

so am i suppost to ring up all companys when i have a card cloaned telling them this just incase they have to refund me? it still stands that they refunded to a dead card, so im not getting my refund.

I had this problem a few years ago with another company and they where able to refund to another card without any problems, shopto are just dragging their arses. Ive just got off the phone with Trading Standards and they agree that I have a case.

I don't know what the rules are on this one, but it would seem a bit unfair on ShopTo if they had to refund you twice because you didn't realise your card had been cloned.

Considering that a) the card had been cancelled at that point, meaning that the money never actually made it onto a card and b) it was shopto's fault that the card was cloned in the first place, it is perfectly fair that they should have to ensure the refund is received.

They've had security issues for years and never do anything about it.

ShopTo have quite ignorant staff. I don't intend to use them again, that's for sure. I bought about 9 items off them without issue but on my 10th I accidentally had a parcel delivered to my billing address instead of where I actually wanted it to go. I can't actually get anything from my billing address since.. well.. I'm not welcome there. I'm assuming what I've purchased has been destroyed. :cry:

So, about 10 seconds after confirming my order I sent them a message through their website and emailed them too. The parcel got delivered to my billing address after all, no response.

It's been about a month since the incident and I've still not even had so much as a 'Unfortunatley it was sent to your billing address.' type message. So they can forget it. :no:

im pretty sure even if the card is cancelled, the refund can still take place, because, when you use your card sometimes the amount is earmarked for a few days,(say go to a pay @ pump petrol station), the amount will be on the card, even if you ring up and get it blocked a day later, it will still be on there and payments can still be recredited to an old card.

    • Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
