hey i'm from the uk and i'm waitng for 2 of the freepay sites!

Giftcards.freepay - Completed - Sent Form 3/4 -Postmarked 10/4 - Approved 16/5 - Processing
Xbox360s.freepay - Completed - Sent Form 2/5 - Postmarked 9/5 - Approved 13/6 - Processing

i ordered both the same day i was approved and i'm still waiting (

i asked them i'd be waiting for my giftcards.freepay giftcard for nearly a month and they said something like

"sorry thank you for being extremely patience"

so i'll hopefully be getting tht in a couple of weeks but wouldn't bet on it. my mates been prcoessing for his 360 for about a month aswell and hes from the uk.

hopefully they'll get it sorted in the next couple of weeks i'm getting sick of freepay

Hi i am new here but have been reading these posts for days now, just wondering how anyone has mannaged from the uk to submit a complaint to the bbb because i have tried but it say at the end to fill in my US address, has anyone got a http link to the right place

yea some people from the uk have managed to submit a successful bbb report me being one of them.

My Xbox didn't arrive today and its not really a suprise to be honest. Freepay said in the letter that both of my orders would be shipped this week well 15 business days so they've got till friday since the letter was posted on the 13th of this month.

My xbox360 is stv but my gifcard isn't . if it aint stv by friday i'm back to bbb i'm sick of them not keeping promsies i can only hope for them all to be shipped this week but its looks doubt full at tht. i'll keep you posted.

oneill2004uk

02-08-2006 08:56:30

freepay stated in the letter i recieved off them that obth my items would be shipped this week. my xbox360 has gone STV but my giftcard is still processing this is stupid i still aint recieved my 360! (

i'm going back to bbb on friday if they aint shipped them both whats the point of telling that they are going to ship them both this week i thats a blatent lie. i'm so annoyed evil

my mate got the same letter as me at the same time and hes already got his 360 evil evil which makes me even more angry

Just to update I submitted my BBB complaint on monday - I also posted this customer service post

Hi I have submitted an official complaint to the US Better Business Bureau (BBB) regarding my Xbox 360 order Better Business Bureau of Washington DC & Eastern PA Complaint Tracking Number DFD80-BC2FD-974B0-B83E6-91EC9-EC73C-E7 reMr Ben Adams and Freepay Please be advised that they will contact you shortly regarding my order. If you fulfill my order in the next week then I will retract my complaint. If not I will pursue my complaint even if it means legal action. There are NO more excuses I'm afraid. There are plenty of Xbox 360s here in the UK, so do not tell me you can not find one. I look forward to receiving my xbox 360. Regards Ben Adams

and got this response

Thank you for contacting FreePay Customer Service. Our Fulfillment Department has received your order. Once an order has been placed, it is added to a queue on a first come first served basis. We currently do not carry excess inventory in our fulfillment center therefore your product is not ordered from the manufacturer until it has been placed. Furthermore, orders are bundled together and ordered in bulk typically on a monthly basis. Therefore we are unable to provide a specific timeframe. Currently, we are experiencing delays of up to 90 days. We realize that this is beyond your normal expectation. These steps are necessary in order for us to continue to provide free products to our customers. We recognize this may further delay receipt of your product but want to assure you of our commitment to honor all legitimate orders. We apologize that further inquiries into this matter can not be processed; as there is no additional information available until your order status has changed from “pending”, “processing”, or “in progress” to “shipped”. Please note that our Fulfillment Department is currently processing all placed orders dating back to April 1, 2006. We appreciate your continued patience. Sincerely, The FreePay Customer Service Team

Hope you got your stuff in the end.

After submitting a BBB complaint on the 2nd August I got a reply today dated 10th August from Gratis. It basically says that my order will be shipped within 15 business days from the date of the email.

I changed to STV on Friday 18th August so with any luck I should get it this week. Yours went STV on a Friday, shipped on Wed and receieved Thursday. Its Wed today and mine is still STV, im hoping its been shipped but just not updated as I got my iPod when the status was still STV. Wishfull thinking perhaps. Ill let you all know how I progress but the moral of the story is that BBB complaints do work!

I can't put into words how much hatred I have for this company. They have screwed me around for 5 months now. They are full of shlit. I hate them. I feel helpless - we are all helpless - it makes me laugh the US is probably the pinnacle of customer service and law and we're still getting screwed! I'm gonna go out of my way after I get my xbox to bad mouth and damage their reputation as much as possible - i think we all should. They aren't going to get away with this. I have wasted large amounts of my life with this - its not worth it now in the time spent!
