Why on earth I didn't think of checking for other complaints before I used this bunch I don't know.
I have had a plasma screen TV sitting in it's box for over a month awaiting wall brackets that they have told me twice were in the Leeds warehouse waiting to be shipped, yet last week they told me I had to wait whilst they ordered some from the manafacturer. They are a bunch of XXXX weasels - does anyone know anywhere else I can voice my complaint?!

I too have had problems with empire direct, I had ordered a av receiver they told me it would be delivered within 2-3 days.Guess what? after a week nothing came, so i phoned them and asked for a refund, still nothing after 1 week. I cant advise anyone to purchase from them :(

Well I thought I was the only unfortunate person to receive such disgraceful service from empire direct.

I ordered a Toshiba tv around the 3rd December 2002. I notice the tv on there web site and thought what a good price. I contacted empire direct by phone to place my order. The order was confirmed and I paid £730. I was advised by the sales person that they has 6 of these units in stock, as they had just come in. I thought great.

The sales person said that I would receive the tv on the 11 December 2002 and would receive a call to confirm the time. No call was received. I contacted empire direct to find out what was happening. A representative informed me that no order had been placed. There computer was showing 4 tv but there was none in stock. The rep said he would send an email to the warehouse and that i would receive a call that day - no call was received. I contacted them again to find out what was happening. A rep confirmed apologised and said no order had been made dispite me qiving an order ref.

I spoke to a manager to air my deep digust. I found the manager rude and condesending. The manager gave me two options 1 wait till january for my order 2 refund the money. I opted for aa refund as i just wanted to terminate any involvment with company.

The manager said it would take three days to foward my money although i paid by credit card. I said to the manager, you have taken £730 for goods you did not possess. Surley this is illegal trading. When I ask for my money to paid sooner, his reply was i,m sure youv'e got more than £730 to buy a tv- well I was furious at this and just demanded by money. Sorry its a bit long but good grief is this what internet shopping is realy like?
