No communication, lies, and failure to fulfil any promise
I placed an order with Wyld in September. In October, they contacted me to say my order would be ready in 3 weeks. Since then, they have lied, misled, and failed to deliver on every promise they have made. At first, it was a complete failure of communication around organising a delivery date. Then, after being told by auto emails that they were overhauling their communications and would be providing much better customer service, I was offered a discount on my order but once again no delivery date. Ultimately, on 13/12, they told me that my refund request had been received (I never actually made a refund request, but decided to approve the request because it had dragged on for so long and I was so upset). On 18/12, I got an email with an invoice telling me that the refund has been processed. As of 27/12, I have not received my money back. This is despite accessing all of their "new" communication methods, including emailing two separate addresses, sending text messages, and calling their phone number. There is never an answer on the phone, no matter the time of day I call; all it ever says is that the "operators are busy." I have attempted to make contact every day since getting the refund notice, and have had no reply to my very simple question: where is my money?
I have disputed the transaction with my card provider, and have also filed reports with the ACCC and Consumer Affairs Victoria, and supplied records of all email communication. But none of that absolves the distress this whole matter has caused me. The money may not seem much to the people at Wyld, but to me it is a significant amount. There is also the fact that when I was told my order was ready, I prepared for it by getting rid of my previous bed frame. I've been sleeping on a mattress on the floor for around two months now, and I have a chronic pain condition which is being exacerbated by this. I informed the customer service rep of my circumstances via email, and was told they would "turn this around." After that, things just got worse. There is no compassion for the customer here, if they are indeed a legitimate business. It may be just money and a bed to them, but it has been a cause of very real physical and emotional stress for me.
