Yes i'm another person ripped off by mydv, i ordered an apple ipod and a psp, i've received the ipod but not the psp. I was also charged on the site £299, Used my debit card, another big mistake and they debited £317.55. I have spent 20m on the phone i've had 2 live chats one i did'nt save one i did. I eventualy got them to get a manager to call me Mr Calvin Fox, which he did, begging me to wait another 7days for the psp, that dead line is tomorrow as yet i've received nothing, not even an e-mail. Lets see if i can copy and paste the last chat i had with them, to show you their standard of customer service.

nicola: My order no is 000. I spoke to one of your colleagues Linda last friday regarding the item i havent yet received. Well i still havent received the item, also she was supposed to be recrediting my account with £18.55 this was due to the exchange rate that i was not told about, she also promised to send me an email to confirm all of this, again i havent received this, i am now feeling realy angry and frustrated with all this. The item i havent received was meant to be for my sons birthday which was the 12november, so you can imagine how upsetting this was for him, i am appauled at your customer service and want to know what is going to be done about this.
Sandra: one moment
Sandra: let me check that for you
nicola: thankyou
nicola: are you still there?
Sandra: I do see Linda Request over here
nicola: so what is happening, when am i going to receive my order and my refund?
Sandra: is there anyway you could send us a copy of your bank statement if you like you can black out the rest of the transactions
Sandra: To order.review@mydv.co.uk
Sandra: then it would take only a couple of days for you to receive it
Sandra: and about your order
nicola: Why do you want a copy of my statement?
Sandra: your order was supposed to shipped out on the 7th but will be shipped by end of the week and since we delayed it we will also be shipping it out via DHL expressway and that should bring the delivery time down to 3 days .
Sandra: thats because we do not have the exact amount on how much you were over charged
nicola: this is not good enough i was told my order would be shipped out immediately that was last friday, she also told me it would be express delivery. I am now thinking of cacelling my order and having a full refund!
nicola: Surely you must know how much i was charged, how are you supposed to refund people if you don't know how much you charge them you charged me £317.55 plus £1.00 charge
nicola: Have you heard of a uk program called uk watchdog, the program investigates company's such as yourself's when customers are having problems.
Sandra: ok I will make a note of that also
nicola: so when is my order going to be shipped, do you even know what my order is, ifeel like you're fobbing me off, this just get's worse.
Sandra: you have received your ipod but not the PSP
Sandra: right
nicola: yes
Sandra: the PSP was supposed to be shipped on the 7th
nicola: so why was'nt it?
Sandra: but has been delayed and will be shipped out by early next week
Sandra: since we delayed it we will also be shipping it out via DHL expressway and that should bring the delivery time down to 3 days
nicola: that's what you said last week, do i wait for another week to be told the same again
Sandra: I am sure you will receive it
nicola: Why was'nt i notified that the product was delayed THIS IS NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE.
nicola: How can you be sure i will receive it, your company doesnt even notify cutomer's when there has been a delay i havent had one apologie from your company i spent 20 minutes on the phone speaking to a advisor, i then asked to speak to a manager to be told there was no one availableand that someone would call me back but surprise surprise i'm still waiting. Company's like this should not be allowed to trade
nicola: How do i cancel my order and get a refund?
nicola: are you going to answer my questions, Sandra
Sandra: you will have to call our customer service dept and cancel the order and you will receive your refund within the next 4 business days because I am not authorized to take cancellation request over chat sessions
nicola: if i don't receive my order by the end of next week i am going to take further action about this, as i said earlier it was my son's birthday on the 12 november and he still hasnt received his present, i will never do business with your company again and i will notify as many people as i can about the bad customer service your company has to offer
Sandra: yes
nicola: before i go can i just ask does your company know the meaning of the word apologie?
nicola: This whole experience has been an absolute nightmare for me
Sandra: I would suggest you give us a call and ask for Calvin Fox and I am sure he will be able to help you out
nicola: So who is Calvin fox?
Sandra: He the supervisor and will be able to assist you on this matter and I have also informed him about your issue
Sandra: he is
nicola: I've already spent 20 minutes on the phone last friday and was told i could'nt speak to a manager and that someone would call me back but as i stated in my previous statement no one bothered to phone me back, so where do you suggest i go from here
Sandra: May I have your order Id please
Sandra: May I have your telephone number
Sandra: I will try have someone call you
nicola: my order id is 6197 my telephone number is 000000000000
Sandra: one moment
nicola: if dialling from usa the number is 00000000000
Sandra: the supervisor is trying to call you now
nicola: I have spoken to calvin, thankyou for your help Sandra at least you have done something for me, i realy appreciate that.
Sandra: not a problem
Sandra: I glad I could something for you
Sandra: I am sure Mr. Fox will try his best to resolve your issue
nicola: OK goodbye

I tried today, it's only allowing you to send a message by e-mail, for some strange reason, this is so frustrating :head:

Do keep trying the phone numbers listed on this site for MyDV too. It can be hard to get through but it is possible. I have found the best time has been between 11:00 and 12:30 UK time.

I have a feeling that it comes up with an option to send an email when either a) there is noone available to respond to the online chat or b) the queue is full. I have had this a number of times but if you try a little later its ok again.

:) I managed to gain contact with 'Tanya' through live chat today - she actually cancelled my order after first explaining that she could not. If you are patiently persistent you will get somewhere. I have been trying for over a week now and feel as though I have managed to get somewhere today.

Further, I spoke to Tom from MYDV. I got through on 0207 993 4698 immediately. He confirmed that Tanya had cancelled my order. I'm now awaiting refund...

Keep at it you will get there. You just have to grind them down. I was told that it takes a minimum of 10 days for them to refund after a the order is cancelled. There will the be a delay while the Banks do there fund transfer thing of a few days so it could easily take 2 weeks.

Bu it is possibel to get a refund I have just recently managed it. It took some persistance.

I don't think these people are out and out crooks just very very bad at customer service and dreadfully inefficient/ineffective. Their website is very deceiving though.

Keep at them!

Please help carlos30, I too ordered an ipod from mydv (before I found this site!!) and I was assured that it came with a u.k spec wall charger by Lisa using the chat facility. I would be grateful if you could inform me of the contents of your ipod box? and what type of ipod you ordered? (mini, photo etc...) Is the ipod covered by a warranty if it is bought from the U.S.A? I'm going to have a long and nervous wait until it comes, if it comes.... :weep: Thanks

JJCAS121 I ordered the i pod nano, no charger which would be useless anyhow seeing as it's an american product. To be honest i havent realy looked at the contents, i only quickly looked at the nano to make sure it was working, but judging by the size of the box there's no charger :mad:

I just spoke to mydv today via the livechat function and I got the same line as carlos30. It has been 3 weeks since I placed my order. "Your order will be shipped by the end of the week via DHL expressway and that should bring delivery time down by 3 days, you should receive your order by the middle of next week." They must have these set responses which they use everytime. (I'm not so naive to expect the order by the middle of next week, maybe the middle of next year?)

I got this as well, and when I phoned up the item was out of stock, so beware in trusting such lines. Ask for specific dates!
