For god sake, that’s a joke at this stage. I’d assumed something must be rectified but obviously not.
As I said until I’ve the phone in my hand I’m counting nothing

This has been going on for years. I don't think it will ever be fixed.

How long took You to get the money back? I have order(both cancelled) from 25 and 27 and still not credited to my account

Took a week for me to be refunded.

I know. Will wait till tomorrow and ask vodafone about it.

Mine was cancelled for the 5th time so I am not going to bother again!

It is taking about 10 days for the money to go back into my account as well so not worth it!

Absolutely useless Vodafone....

deiseindublin · 03-05-2021 09:17PM

Did they actually take the money or it just stayed pending? I have 4 pending now on different cards but unlikely to get any phone. I'm dreading that I may have to contact them on four different chats to beg for my money back.

I called into the Vodafone store in Wilton after work earlier, no stock there or in any of the Cork stores according to the staff there. I see Google are now selling the 4a for €339. Tempted to go for it despite the extra money.

I think for 339€ you might get better alternatives.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice little phone and well worth the 179€ but for 339€ you might be better off getting something newer than this nearly 1 year old phone.

Agreed. I'd be kicking myself if I paid full price for it, knowing that it was available/people received it at almost half Googles price.

Have people sent letters of complaint/ notified Vodafone of these issues? Surely there has to be a suggestion of complaints procedure in place? (Although it wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't!!)

Bombard them:

Vodafone,
Postpaid Admin,
MountainView,
Leopardstown,
Dublin 18

I went through Vodafone's customer support but you would be better off talking to a wall. At least the wall won't lead you on a wild goose chase. Depending on who you talk to you'll get told it is and never was in stock, you're doing something wrong or a temporary glitch on their website that their IT team is looking to resolve.

I did get a complaints reference number from them but not really sure what I can do with that.

Why do people persist in making these orders? There's a very slim chance they'll go through, you're only setting yourself up to be annoyed

Tell that to the ones who have their 179 phones.

Probably the same reason people keep eating habanero peppers, or some other self inflicted painful experiences. I just ordered again

Some of us got it on first try.

So there is no clear reason why someone might not get this bargain. So the hope lives with those who did not succeed initially.

Ordered 3, all 3 orders went through no problem

Sold 2 on adverts and got mine for free

tmh106 · 05-05-2021 09:19AM

Mine arrived today. Ordered Saturday.

05-05-2021 09:20AM

Thanks for this thread. Wife broke her phone on Friday evening (water damage on a Pixel 3A), ordered this on Saturday evening. Got dispatch confirmation on Saturday night. Wife's phone started working again on Sunday. Pixel 4A arrived today. Much easier to accept since the 4A only cost €179

deiseindublin · 05-05-2021 10:12AM

Why don't VF like me.
Have tried 4 times now.

He didn't do anything different. There is no figuring out to be done, the website is a troll.

ordered pixel 4a for 179.99 at 8am this morning existing customer with the code VF0013 and dispatched at 11am. i tried previously with sim from lycra and it didn't go through and was cancelled still pending refund ! . so chanced my own Vodafone number and went through, looks like existing customers get the deal maybe !

SnuggyBear · 05-05-2021 12:33PM

Money came back on my card today so tried for 8th time. Cancelled.

jusvi2001 · 05-05-2021 01:13PM
