        Maybe because the same question has been asked & answered many times before. Reading is such an underrated skill in an age of just asking questions - the same one over & over. So a link was provided to 1 of the answers posted in the previous page!

    I wrote back something along the lines of I can wait until ypou get it back in stock from your supplier.

    Reply:
    It is out of stock because we currently cannot get any from the supplier. Your order has been cancelled and refunded rather than back ordered because we do not know when if and when we will be able to get more. I apologise for the inconvenience but many of the smaller items have been completely sold out due to the number of customers making use of the Age voucher.

    According to their customer service manager,Michael Dickson :"The order was cancelled because the voucher number and pin used was for in store purchases only and not redeemable online. Your credit card was refunded today and this should be reflected on your statement when your bank has finished processing the transaction."

    Hi Ozbargainers,

    Some of you have been asking questions about your orders placed on our online store with the Age voucher code. I will try to answer the questions below. But if you still have questions please feel free to respond to this post so everyone can see the answer or if it is about your personal order please call us on 1800 811 312 or email us [email protected].

    Orders placed on the 4th of March
    We received a much larger than expected response on our online store and we are still working to get all these orders processed, there are over 2/3 of the orders placed that were placed multiple times or outside the terms and conditions of the offer. Unfortunately this has made the sorting process much slower than expected and the people that followed the terms and conditions are now waiting longer than expected for their products to arrive.

    As per the terms and conditions on this voucher “one gift card per customer per household, must be a club member to redeem”, the first valid order that was placed by each customer/household will be fulfilled.
    All additional orders per club membership, multiple orders per household or multiple club memberships per customer/household will be cancelled.

    As of today, all orders placed that were invalid and had an extra payment made via credit card have had the extra payment value refunded to the nominated credit card.

    Orders placed with the second pin number
    Orders placed with the second pin number will not be accepted as the voucher was no longer available for use online at this time. All of these orders have been cancelled and we have refunded any money involved.

    If your order is still stating “Payment Accepted” then it is still in the processing queue and will be processed if valid and cancelled if found to be a multiple order as per terms above.

    If what you ordered is out of stock, where possible we will be offering you something else in replacement for these products, if there is no replacement product available then unfortunately we will have to cancel your order and refund any money involved.

    Again, if you have any questions please feel free to respond to this post so everyone can see the answer or if it is about your personal order please call us on 1800 811 312 or email us [email protected].

    Thanks
    Mel

Unfortunately this has made the sorting process much slower than expected and the people that followed the terms and conditions are now waiting longer than expected for their products to arrive.

      by "the sorting process" do you mean fulfilling valid orders or determining which orders are valid?

      are they being processed in order of receipt by time/date?

      it seems that some orders have been delivered within a few days whilst others still haven't after a couple of weeks

      Orders placed with the second pin number
      Orders placed with the second pin number will not be accepted as the voucher was no longer available for use online at this time. All of these orders have been cancelled and we have refunded any money involved.

      obviously they were being accepted at least until this deal with the new pin was posted since some have been delivered :)

      If your order is still stating “Payment Accepted” then it is still in the processing queue and will be processed if valid and cancelled if found to be a multiple order as per terms above.

      so there is still hope :)

      If what you ordered is out of stock, where possible we will be offering you something else in replacement for these products, if there is no replacement product available then unfortunately we will have to cancel your order and refund any money involved.

      who determines the replacement product and how? does the customer have any input?

      • Associatedmeljane021 @ Snowgum Australia on 22/03/2013 - 14:07

        by "the sorting process" do you mean fulfilling valid orders or determining which orders are valid?
        We are doing both of these things at the same time.
        are they being processed in order of receipt by time/date?
        Yes, all the valid orders are being processed in order of dated/time the order was placed.
        it seems that some orders have been delivered within a few days whilst others still haven't after a couple of weeks
        Because some orders included a credit card payment, we sorted through these first to make sure if there was a credit due to the order being invalid we could refund the money automatically.

        obviously they were being accepted at least until this deal with the new pin was posted since some have been delivered :)
        this is correct, all valid orders are being fulfilled. Any orders placed with the new pin online are invalid (as the offer was no longer available online) and hence have been cancelled.

        so there is still hope :)
        Yes…

        who determines the replacement product and how? does the customer have any input?
        If we have a replacement product available then we will be contacting these customers personally to the e-mail supplied on the order.

        • tonester on 26/03/2013 - 22:40

          what i was trying to say is that orders placed with the new pin online were being accepted as valid at least up until the time that this deal was posted since some have been delivered and not cancelled

  • Associatedmeljane021 @ Snowgum Australia on 21/03/2013 - 11:24

    Ps. Sorry forgot to mention that if your order is invalid and is cancelled you will not receive notification of this via e-mail, it will only state this when you look at your order online.

          JLove,

          1. With only two examples (which were accompanied by many neg votes), you want to defend Snowgum's accusation that most OzBargainers are a majority of cheating non-genuine customers that ruined the deal for the minority? Snowgum is saying most of us, including you, are cheaters who tried to defraud them, and only a select few are genuine customers. I resent being defamed by association but perhaps you don't.

          2. The first post has over 9900 clicks, and you agree with Snowgum that most of these 9900 "customers" made fraudulent multiple orders? I find that very hard to believe, particularly when Snowgum's server had great difficulty handling the load.

        • Ughhh on 22/03/2013 - 02:51
          -2

          1. What I was saying was that I would not be surprised if a bunch of people, whether they are ozbargain members or guest, who made multiple orders (using fake names etc) . This opinion is from years of reading comments on ozb.

          2. Why don't you further exaggerate what I say.

          Of course, they should honour orders that didn't violate any t&c and at least notify any cancellations via email.

        • alvian on 22/03/2013 - 04:12
          -1

          You said nothing about being not surprised that there are people who abused the voucher code; you simply quoted two examples but offered no opinion or remark of your own. Of course there are some OzBargainers who are greedy, but Snowgum asserts that the majority of us are like that.

          Where did I exaggerate what you wrote? I asked you two questions which you did not answer. You also failed to clarify your obscure remark about the first post having over 9900 clicks. What argument are you trying to make? It is very easy to quote random facts but what do they mean? Here's one for you: "there are over 11,000 people who like OzBargain".

          Let me ask you two simple questions. Do you agree with Snowgum's statement that "the majority of customers submitted fraudulent orders, thus ruining the deal for the minority of genuine customers"? If you do, then please justify your position. If you do not, then please explain why you quoted me in your comment and then asked me "what about people like…"?

        maybe they have a big extended family living in the same house

        (up to 65 orders per person/household).

        so the snowscum site basically crashed and you expect us to believe people were able to place 65 orders before they pulled all the cheap items from the website? hell, i consider myself lucky to even be able to place one order

          I believe it. You just saw the deal at a wrong time. The site was running smooth when I browsed it and they hadn't taken the cheap goods off yet.

      If your system isnt good enough to detect these abusers, then you guys aren't ready to be in online shopping.

      Hi cuteduck, the order reference that you have given me was cancelled because it was placed online when these vouchers were invalid for use on the online store, this is clearly stated in the terms and conditions on the Snowgum webstie. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

    Mine canceled but I am genuine Age reader and this was my first time order…

  • tikei on 22/03/2013 - 02:00

    If you only made one order per household and they've cancelled it, have you tried emailing them?

    • INFIDEL on 22/03/2013 - 12:43

      Snowscum replied that this deal was invalid, even if you placed only 1 order :-(

      Orders placed with the second pin number will not be accepted as the voucher was no longer available for use online at this time. All of these orders have been cancelled and we have refunded any money involved.

    This order was cancelled and refunded because the voucher number and pin combination used were for in store purchases only and was not redeemable online.

    What is the point of issuing voucher # and pin for in store purchase…

    • INFIDEL on 22/03/2013 - 18:43

      The voucher says the PIN was to be entered for online purchases.

    @meljane021

    There are quite a few eligible Age readers like myself, who only ever made a single order but where caught out by this confused mess and received nothing. That is where the hostility is coming from with this. People are pissed because it looks like Snowgum is doing a Snow-job on honest people who got caught out in the general mess.
    You would go a long way PR wise to resolve this by offering GENUINE 1st time orderers, a fresh chance to order.
