Ordered an OtterBox Commuter case for my Samsung GS3. Only this shop had the colour I wanted for my phone, and their prices were cheaper than anyway else I had seen in shops/online.
Before I ordered, I contacted customer service to see whether the item I wanted was in stock, and whether it would arrive before I travelled out of the country. They replied within hours, and confirmed both queries.
Delivery took much longer than expected, arriving 9 days after they confirmed posting it. I started contacting them 5 days after my order, but they assured me they posted 1day after my order. When asked for a tracking number, they replied that their item was shipped without tracking.
I do not know whether to blame shipping to Australia Post, or to Gadgets Boutique.
Similar experience as noted by Efte with Gadgets Boutique. Purchased 4 iPod Gen 5 protective cases that couldn't be sourced anywhere else, on the 5th of December, 2012.
An invoice came through to tell me all four items would be received at the very latest, by 20th of December or before. This did not occur.
I emailed them on December the 28 of 2012 demanding either my goods or my money back.
They responded immediately by telling me they had two of the four items in stock and were right on the brink of sending them.
These two items never arrived...
In fact, I heard nothing from Gadgets Boutique until I posted an unpleasant message on their Face Book site on the 29th of January, 2013 - two months later.
They immediately dispatched the two other iPod cases and these arrived promptly.
As for the first two iPod cases, Gadgets Boutique claim that this is a matter I must follow up with Australia Post, as the Tracking ID claims it was delivered... but it wasn't so now Gadgets Boutique claim it's not their problem.
I'm contacting the ACCC over this matter.
I suggest you do business with this online business AT YOUR OWN RISK. They are full of empty promises and I'm short fifty bucks.
