On the 18th April I ordered some goods from Riversway Leisure, waited a week and still no delivery, I rang them and was told that my package had been damaged in transit, and they would replace the items, I said no dont bother I will have a refund. Today no refund has been paid into my bank so I rang Riversawy Leisure and aked when I would be getting my refund, the reply was,IT TAKES 7 to 10 Days for a refund to be processed, So I said how comes it only takes seconds to take my money when paying, was told that is done by computer, refunds are done manually so takes that more time to process. are they having a laugh with their customers I will not be going there again.

l have had this argument with my bank.
When l buy shares, through an account with the bank, instantaneous! A few weeks ago l needed money, sold some shares, and ordered the proceeds to go direct to my bank account, 7 to 10 days!
This put me overdrawn, and they charged me for the priviledge!

What a wunch of bankers!

Stretches my imagination. Do you believe them ?

But the other side of the coin, I've bough a few things off them, always good service and best price.

I have just had something similar, Placed an order with Leisure shop direct and paid by Pay-Pal, just had a email saying the the item was not in stock and would be 4 day be stock would be received. I wrote back telling them that we had a contract and they were obliged to deliver withing 7 days as stated in there advert.

I await the outcome.

Riversway are not cheap for everything. They list the Awning and Annex I require @£828.95 plus p&p. A local caravan shop provided the same for £700.00p.

since 2006 ( I think ! )
Under the present law, there is nothing stopping you sending an invoice to them for the fone calls made.. same a s a bank might charge you

Most self employed in the service industry charge a minimum of £30 per hour or part of an hour..
Two fone calls on different days = £60.00 plus the fone calls plus any interest you feel is owing ( no chance of getting any of it but a threat to take them to small claims court unless settled within 7 days will at least make someones day a bit hard ! )

If a customer requires a refund it takes me two minutes, either on PayPal, our website or a straight credit card transaction.

Its not rocket science

None but working on it
Odered from Riverside on Tuesday arrived on Thursday, large item, guess I got lucky.

Had same problem with refunds, payment taken in minutes, refund in days, asked the question why and Asda said its not their problem but the banks. Great! So I asked if they would be prepared to wait 7-10 days for me to pay for my shopping? you can guess the answer.

I agree and it goes straight off my merchant account, but ithey can take 5 days to then pay the customer, likewise when a customer pays me it goes off his credit card that day, but it takes 5 days to hit my bank account, they charge for terminal rental and a percentage on the transaction figure, could this be the banks making yet more money.

All the best Rick

Dunno Rick, Paypal refund is instant and Protex the same as far as I am aware, credit cards should be the same.

PayPal we raid daily and transfer accross and it takes 2/3 days to hit our bank account and as far as I am aware the credit card companies pay a total every day into our account.

Amazon settle direct every 14 days straight into our account.
