Got the best deal I could ever wish for, thanks everyone for sharing! Thank you and me too. Because they were able to get you guys the discount after the purchase, I’m assuming they they care about customer service. I’m glad most on here got their box set and are enjoying them. I’m not upset or jealous in any way. I’m glad that we all got such a great deal! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are able to call their UK number in the next 4 hours or so, now would be a good time to call as it's 13:25 here now. I wish I could call them for you but I know they asked me loads of data protection questions which I wouldn't be able to answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have decided to let Paypal do their thing and see what happens. I'm not going to contact them anymore (have sent quite a few emails). According to Paypal, they have not responded to them when they email them about this. If they don't respond to paypal by Monday, it looks like paypal will refund my money.

I never expected to get that refund but I'm really glad we both did! Sorry, I am bit confused: Whats the reason for the refund you guys received? Is it because the turntables are out of stock? Or is it because of the massive price drop since the original release date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it dropped to $679 CAD after we ordred due to a holiday discount code. The site decided to honor the different in price with the discount code and gave us refunds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ordered the bundle at $849 CDN (end of November) and not long after, they had a 20% discount code for Christmas (a $170 saving), so they refunded the 20% difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzagbigbag Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Thanks guys. I am happy for you 😃 I bought this sucker for 1000€. Meanwhile it was 499€, now its 650€ in Germany. I think I will ask for a refund as well, even tough I got zero expectations to receive anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about the refund and I think because @RussTCB and I ordered it around the same time (on pre-order for 28th November), and it didn't get shipped for quite a while (I sent an email dated 6th December chasing it), by the time the discount came out, we could have in theory returned it under warranty and purchased it again at the discounted price. Clearly that wouldn't have made sense for us to pay for shipping it back to them, so it was still really generous of them to refund us the difference. How long ago did you buy yours? I would chance an email to see if they could refund any of the money given you paid almost double. You never know, you just need the right person to pick up your email at the other end 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nodnarb901 Posted January 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2019 Well I wanted to give everyone an update: They never responded to paypal's claim email within the 10 day time frame. Because of that, Paypal issued me a FULL refund! While I didn't ever get the turntable, I got the box set and a phono pre-amp for free!!! I sold my un-opened Super deluxe edition from the box set (I kept the opened one I bought in June and put it back in the box set) for $90. I found someone selling a new un-opened GNR turntable on ebay for $290 shipped and bought it. With my $90 credit from selling the SDE, I ended up paying $200 for the Turntable, Box set, and pre-amp by the time was all said and done! 11 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitmanhart408 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I would consider getting a second box if it drops to about $300 just for the LPs and maybe do something with the posters and Litho's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really cool thing is, after I got my first GNR turntable (one I bought off ebay), my son just thought it was the coolest thing ever. Then for his birthday wanted his very own turntable and some records. We had picked out a turntable for him that was cheaper than the GNR one. Now that this one showed up, he of course wants that one. He did make a cool observation. We will have 2 of only 100 of these turntables in our house. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy for you but the reality is that the merchant will end up eating all of the loss. Paypal will pull the money from the merchant's account and on top of that, the merchant will take the loss for all the merchandise they sent you. I'm not sure there's a difference between what you did and fraud, tbh. Sorry to rain on your parade. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way of knowing if something lost for weeks will ever he found. FedEx will eat the cost assuming the GNR store cares enough to file the claim.

Fedex/insurance won't eat the cost if they can prove they delivered it. They track these packages from A to Z...all the way to the delivery address. And items insured for a large amount usually require signatures. If they don't require a signature, good chance it wasn't insured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took my money and then didn't ship my turntable for a month. In that month's time, they didn't respond to Paypal's emails, they didn't respond to my emails except for automatic response emails that said "they were looking into it and would get back to me". If they are going to ignore their customers when they have a problem, then I do not feel bad. If you do a Google search on digitalstores.co.uk (the company that manages musicvaltz and a few other music webstores), you will see the terrible reviews they have from taking customer's money and either never shipping the items, and not responding to emails. hopefully they will learn to respond to emails in a more timely manner. Now for they really crazy part: This morning Fed Ex Delivered yet another turntable to me. So now I have 3 of them. One for me, one for my son, and one to sell. This tells me they still haven't checked their emails from paypal to see that I got a refund. So the way I look at it: I scammed a scammer and it feels good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not a scammer if they sent you the merchandise. (At least not in your case) And the fact that they've even issued refunds to others that paid more before it was on sale solidifies that they have treated some people well around here. Maybe bad customer service but not scammers. If they don't keep up with their orders, they'll be out of business soon enough, so they are at least partially at fault. It is what it is. I'm not judging you... Edited February 6, 2019 by Kasanova King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
