Very poorly handled by UA, even the cancellation email gives no reason or explanation just "your order was not accepted" yet on the website my order still shows as processing. Not the end of the world and I'll probably still buy UA as I find their products decent quality for the price and a good fit for me, but this will upset many customers especially after taking full payment and others receiving their orders. Their trustpilot socre is taking a tanking, 92% 1 star reviews.
Tashy, it's a balance. Each company that has one of these glitches has to look at the losses incurred and weigh up the cost of that against the bad publicity. We don't know how many orders UA took over the weekend, there could be thousands. Adnams may have had a couple of hundred, UA 20,000. Had there only been a few they may well have honoured them but the moment people started publicising it on social media it was almost inevitable that they could not fulfill them. A smarter response from UA would be to cancel but offer 10% off any future order, sweeten the pill a little. I think that is where they have missed a trick but otherwise I don't think they have acted poorly (don't forget that on nearly every post on this thread and the other 'I bought today' people stated they placed an order but didn't expect it to go through so it is hardly a shock at this point).LT, a couple of years ago. Adnams brewery had a deal after Christmas, spend £10 on beer and get £10's worth free. The site went into melt down. I ordered some Ghost ship, sluuuuuuuuuurp. Some folk went mad, took the mick. And ordered £10's worth, and again and again and again. A month later I asked where me beer was. A delightful young lady explained, there had been a site glitch. Yet every order was being honoured. My ghost ship seemed very popular, they offered me a differant beer. In essence there response was excellent.
