Had the same experience as Mark c. Bellow, what a bunch of crooks, I can't believe these guys are able to operate. I am currently perusing criminal prosecution against the operators through Stevenage Constabulary; these guys need to be locked up!
I recerntly bought a canon printer and LG TV through this site. The price was great - the lowest I could find on the web - and delivery was good considering how cheap the price was. I have read other reviews on sitejabber regarding these guys and I think they are unfair. I dealt with customer service and found them to be polite and informative.
I wrote an earlier review last week and it was posted and removed(!) which makes me think something very suspicious is going on here. Why is sitejabber only publishing negative clearly unbalanced reviews? Hmmm.
10 days ago I ordered a new TV from iwanthatgift for my 84 year of mother-in-law.
Method of payment was by credit card. After 5 days nothing was heard. They don't answer the telephone. I emailed and was given a delivery date for the following Tuesday - nothing arrived. Now have been given another for tomorrow, but don't expect anything to happen. Their website, which is now closed for maintenance, suggested next day delivery. I have cancelled the order, asked for a refund and contacted Cheshire Trading Standards who have opened a case file. The company appears to be based in Runcorn, Cheshire but I have my doubts.
My advise is not to get involved with this lot for the sake of saving a few pounds - it's just not worth it.
Ripped me off. Avoid at all costs
These guys arent based at the address they claim they are acutally ran from a council flat in letchworth by Sharon and Paul [name deleted]!
They can't even spell despatch properly on their website.
SHAM!
They are definitely a bunch of scammers and very dodgy. I paid for a TV through my paypal account thinking if any thing goes wrong I can file a dispute/refund claim. Unfortunately I was wrong. Paypal ruled in my favourbut when they tried to retrieve the refund money back from these scammers their payment didnt materialise. I am fighting to get my money back. Their customer services says they have posted my refund but it is more that 2 weeks just like their delivery promises. I think the guys who have given positive feedback for this company are people they have paid to do so. By doing so their potential customers will think there are some unlucky customers but there people who have no problems as well. I believe anybody who pays them money is being taken for a good ride. I wish we can get rid of such scammers as they are a menace to all online shopper.
This site is a scam! I too ordered a tv in august didn't arrive. Ring them for a refund they never return calls. I started a dispute with paypal they said i could have a refund but seven days later closed the dispute as they couldn't get money from sellers account. Paypal have said they will keep trying to get money from them but i can't ever see it.
I am trying other options.
Has anyone else had there money refunded?
These people are criminals - I am raising a small claims action against them as I have never had delivery of my dvd player ordered in August 2009. I was promised a full refund EVENTUALY after much badgering with emails - no answer to any phone calls. They have now stopped responding to my emails and have never refunded me. Small claims action going ahead today!
I can't believe any website would say thisand expect credibility...

Absolute jokers.
I ordered something costing £150 from them, the had awful communication, took over a month with no delivery at all, no returning of phone calls, when I got them I was promised it would be despatched the next day, 2 weeks later it had not arrived. Luckily I paid via Paypal so filed a dispute and got a refund. Office sounds small (was getting calls from mobile numbers) and customer service hopeless, despite the impression that it's terribly professional. Avoid.
Paid for product over 2 weeks ago - no update when the item will arrive. Called customer services 3 times for an update but no information given. Got frustrated with asking for an update... so asked for refund but they are delaying and saying the refund department will get back to me within the day... no-one does! I think this is a dodgy website... BEWARE!
Thank god I used PayPal when attempting to buy a product from this 'company'. After raising a dispute with PayPal I got my money back no problem, if it was left to 'iwantthatgift.co.uk' I'd have never seen my money again. If you ask me by them not accepting money via PayPal it means they get to keep your money - don't do it!
I have been asked by the website to inform you that after filing a dispute with paypal, that today they issued me a refund in full. I am doing this because they threatened me with legal action if i did not, and have several emails from them stating this.
My order was only partially fulfilled. After a couple of months, I contacted Google Checkout; they informed they were no longer processing orders from I Want That Gift. My VISA card company provided me with a refund for the missing items. I was lucky.
Shocking, don't use this website. I waited for ages for my massage chair, they didnt bother keeping in contact, eventually i ordered it somewhere else and got it delivered looooong before i was refunded by iwantthatgift - more than two weeks after i cancelled the order! No apologies or anything, rotten customer services!
The site now claims it is "under new management" via a venture capital coimpany called 'FLIGHT TICKETS DIRECT LIMITED'
However this company is registered as NON Trading, the site now only uses Bank Transfer, and the registered address is a beauty salon in Golders Green.
If this site had a "HSBC Merchant Payment" wjhy can't it take VISA and MASTERCARD payments directly
What a bunch of con artists, Im sure Bruce Kennedy, the claimed new director is just as bad as the previous shady traders!
These people must think that we have rocks in our head!
Dodgy, still dodgy
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM Iwantthatgift! I had to chase my order and then had to cancel it after knowing it would take forever to arrive. I then received a rude email from them saying I wasted their time and money! The guy had the nerve to tell me shame on me I didn't read their terms. Well, I did and there was NOTHING on the terms that indicates the site is a dropship site and nothing is in stock (hence the long wait for every order!) The guy insulted me even further in another email saying I lack buying knowledge! To make it worse they never refunded my money when they said they would and I had to do a charge back! STAY CLEAR! This site is a joke and the people involved are much worse, plain rude and unethical!
Stock levels change in seconds? Ludicrous! They do NOT carry anything instock!
Anybody wishes to read the rude and appalling emails I received from this site please feel free to contact me.
I would agree with all the negative comments on this site- especially the guy who copied in the emails relating ot rude men and nasty threats. Don't be put off by the lame threats of legal action as you actually are only giving factual information. If you have paid with pay pal get your money back NOW before the time limit expires!
Theft is dishonestly appropriating property with the intention of permanantly depriving you of it-Theft act 1968 Section 1- this property can be money
Personally it actually verges on fraud by false representation (section 2 of the fraud act 2006), to which this company appears to conduting themselves under If they state they will not take money out of your account before shipment of products?
Message to Iwantathatgift- you need to alter your terms and conditions if you are misleading customers. If you should ever ring me again i will deem this as a course of conduct of harassment
To the consumers
I feel sorry for you guys, i too have been through this process although got money back in the end - it looks like they're not doing that for you. Keep pursuing this and maybe you could all get together to seek compensation via the small claims courts?
P. s they do not record your conversations as under legal terms and conditions they have to inform you that they will be recording you which i doubt they do- they certainly will not be keeping tapes of calls - how ridiculous!
GOOD LUCK
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM Paid for product on the 2nd August and have been calling their customer services everday and emailing them INCLUDING their director. Last update from them was on the 21st August. Tried phoning customer services all day today (21st September) but unable to get through and still no Television to watch in my new home.
Bruce Kennedy is a liar a cheat a con man along with his partner Sharon Barrett they run these con companies. YOU WILL END UP IN COURT NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS
Wonderful company I order lots of things and am always satisfied with the merchandise. Will always recommend teespring.
The company has garnered a predominantly negative reputation, with numerous customers reporting significant delays in delivery, poor communication, and challenges in obtaining refunds. Many express concerns about the legitimacy of the business, suggesting it operates unethically and may not fulfill orders as promised. While a few customers mention satisfactory experiences regarding pricing and polite customer service interactions, these instances are overshadowed by widespread allegations of scams and inadequate support. Overall, the feedback indicates a critical need for the company to improve its customer service practices and operational transparency to regain consumer trust.
