Ok, 3 days ago I tried to pre-order the Moto 360. I tried online and got this error;
Oops, your order hasn’t been submitted.
We’re sorry but something went wrong when we tried submitting your order and it hasn’t been completed. Please try again later.
I tried later. I tried lots of times. I tried different PC's. Different browers. Tied from my phone brower. Fail after Fail. I tried different credit cards.
I tried calling the sales line, to let them try. Failed.
Each time you try over the phone, you need to give them a different email address. I have given them 9 emails in failed attempts.
The Moto 360 costs £199. When I called my credit card companies to see if there is any issues they said no. Both card are fine. One Visa one Mastercard, no blocks, no issues. They also said, that they could see THREE authorised O2 transactions on each card. So O2 have stolen £1200 of my credit balance and not even given me an order!
I have spoken to O2 via phone and chat. Told them what has happened and they do nothing. They say unless they see and order they can't do anything. Apparently, and this is a joke to me, you give them your card details, they can make a charge on your credit card, a valid one and get an authorisation code from the bank that the transaction was good. But then, if their system fails and there is no order, they dont even keep a record of this charge on your account. They have absolutely no idea about it and have no person in the O2 than can investigate anything to do with card charges. So they can happily rack up £1200 of transaction on your cards and have no record of even doing this, none!!! unbeleivable. Sounds like fraud to me. How can they not keep a record of charges they raise aginst a customer??? They say they have no order and that is why? That has nothing to do with it! if they make a charge on a customers card they should be keeping a record of this, regardless of wether they f**k the order part up or not, they should still be able to know they charged a card.
So, 3 days of trying, by numerous methods. I still have no order. I have £1200 of transactions on my cards. O2 have not even got any visability of the transactions, even though they placed the transactions on my 2 banks using card details I provided O2.
I wanted to pre-order this to get it early. Impossible with O2. They are clueless.
They are the worst, most unprofessional company I have ever had to deal with.

Just to update everyone I've just made an order from o2 and also received a "payment not successful message", my bank account is temporarily unavalible so I can't check whether they've taken the cash but either way they still clearly have an issue. Has anyone received a refund yet? If so what was the process and how long did it take?

Turns out they have taken the money which will be returned "within 7 working days", unacceptable!
I am a web developer and understand the checkout process is the hardest part to get right, but even small businesses I've worked for would have sacked me long before now if this was a result of my work. Can't see how this is setup without it all laid out in front of me but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know everything should be fully tested on a dev server before it goes live and if anything like this did (I should hope accidently) go live then (like every other site) their should be something to stop payment before it's processed, could of (SHOULD OF!) added a step which gives an error/out of stock message before payment, either that or theirs an issue with the amount of stock the site thinks it has. Taking money and giving a message of "your payment has not been successful" with links entitled "try paying again" is firstly lying and secondly leading customers to loose double or more of their money.
I will research laws broken and voice the experience elsewhere, I urge anyone else in my position to do the same.

As I have said previously on here, until a customer reports this to their local Trading Standards Office to investigate, then nobody will know if O2 have contravened any legislation.

Watchdog is pointless, only Trading Standards can do anything if O2 have contravened any consumer legislation

Your choice
As they're half way through the current series 34, you'll probably have to wait until the series 35 to see if O2 are featured.......then it's a bit too late
