Unlocking Online Ltd - Cell-unlockerunlocking Online Ltd: - Cell-unlockersUnlocking Online - Cell-unlockers Failed to refund my money as they agreed to do on two separate occasions Northampton United Kingdom

I attempted to purchase an unlock code from cell-unlockers.com on Feb 5, 2010.  The price quoted for my code was higher than the price range listed on the site, but I proceeded to provide the information because the site reported that they could provide a code for my phone.  On Feb 6, I received an e-mail that the code generation was taking longer than normal.  On Feb 7, I received an e-mail that they were unable to generate a code and that they would refund my money.  Even though they were able to charge the card immediately, the refund would take up to 7 days.

After 7 days with no refund, I sent a follow-up e-mail and asked for the status of the refund.  I was told on Feb 15 that the refund had been issued and would show up shortly.
 
It is now Feb 18 and the refund has not appeared on my account.  I have sent another e-mail to cell-unlockers.com and have not received a response.

I wish that I would have found this site before placing my order with cell-unlockers.com.

Hello,

I am the owner of the company Unlocking Online Ltd.
This report was brought to my attention by a potential customer.
I would like to offer the following rebuttal.

Firstly, let me make it clear that many, many customers often confuse our
company with others when making claims or asking for refunds.

The reason why this happens a lot is because we take customer service
extremely seriously. As part of our commitment to customer service we
send out emails to customers when they have partly completed an order.
By 'partly completing' an order, what I mean is this...

1. Customer completes form with their name, email, handset details
2. Customer gets to payment stage BUT DOES NOT PAY.

At this stage, a couple of hours later, we send an automated email
to customers who did not complete their order and ask if they require
further assistance.

Unfortunately, we often find that within this time, customers have
left our website and paid for a less reliable service with another provider.
When we then send them a follow-up email to ask if everything is ok,
we get support requests from customers who haven't even paid us for
their initial order. They have paid someone else.

The report filed here is a classic case of a customer confusing our
company with another.

Let me explain why...

1. We do not send refunds through an 'Accounts Department', our
support staff are able to do this themselves.

3. We do not take 7 days to process refunds. We refund immediately
if a code cannot be sourced. We would not send an email stating
"(we) have sent your details over the accounts team who will send
you a refund. Although normally quicker please allow up to 7 days
for the refund to get back into your account." All of our refund
emails are templates and automated. None of which contain this
content.

3. Finally, and most importantly. We operate over 30 live websites
but we do not operate the website 'Cell-Unlockers.com' as quoted
in the report. Nor do we operate any websites of a similar name.

UnlockingOnline.com takes customer service very seriously
and has an excellent customer service record after becoming
one of the premier sources for mobile unlocking service online
during the past 6 years.

We respectfully ask that this report removed or amended to
reflect the fact that this is clear case of mistaken identity.

Regards
