Ordered "In Stock" Item – Now No Stock and No Refund
I placed an online order with SoundSelect on 03 Apr, for an Epiphone ECLPC-AW Les Paul Custom Alpine White Guitar.
The product was clearly advertised and confirmed as in stock at the time of purchase, and I received an order confirmation.
After payment, SoundSelect showed a status, and still do, of "Confirmed - We're preparing these items for shipping".
When I inquired a week later, from their online sales contact, Lina, when shipping would happen I was informed that the item is actually not available.
I immediately requested a full refund, and got a confirmation of the cancellation by email. I was informed that the refund would be processed.
More than a week after that I inquired about my refund. I was then informed that the haven't done the refund because they were looking for stock. I mentioned that is not acceptable. They confirmed the refund, I'm looking elsewhere for the item.
They have still not processed the refund despite my follow-ups.
I have sent multiple emails and messages, but responses have been delayed, vague, or non-existent. As of today, 21 April, I still have not received my refund, and the order remains unresolved.
This is very disappointing, especially since the website showed the item as in stock when I ordered. Other customers seem to have experienced similar issues with stock misrepresentation and slow refunds.
I would not recommend ordering online from SoundSelect until they improve their stock accuracy and refund processes. I am now escalating this through Mobicred and the National Consumer Commission.
