When we place a pre-order agree with the conditions and BA say very clear from the day one "whe use the money of your order to produce the miners so... no refunds" and "delays can happens" (more or less). You can ask nicely for a refund but is not your right.
wrong noob, most countries have laws that product customers from this type of scam. (With USA and China both being one of them) These laws state that if a product is not shipping you have the right to request and receive a refund. The law of the land supersedes any laws put forth by companies. Please educate yourself a little before posting nonsense.
EDIT: Dang, should have let PG field that one, would have been much more hilarious than what I just wrote.
Correctamundo! I would have started with "Wrongamundo..." taking into consideration coolmusic's native tongue.
first of all in EU the retail stores and other sellers (for example shoping malls, department stores etc..) don't have the obligation by law to offer a refund. A lot of them offers it under different conditions and the major part of the people thinks they have right to it but the law only says "if the item don't works, and the retailer can not replace it for the same or similar" and they don't have the obligation to refund in cash (they must advertise this in the bills, invoices and in the store before purchase).
Another question is what if they don't deliver the goods or what is a reasonable/justified delay and what not for that we have a kind of "consumer court" to place complaints and make deals and arrangements between customers and sellers. In fact few years ago I have a job in the customer service of one of the biggest retail chains of EU (like your Walmart) and I know a little bit of what I'm talking about.
We make and order thru a web page to a chinese corp. as show in my invoice (maybe in yours appears an US Corp), so im not sure if we can apply our local laws or the law of your country in these case.
Please think the world is a big place before ask someone to "educate yourself"
In one of my native languages "próspero" (Spanish) means "wealthy", I hope so.
Finally... Phinaeus come on dude, improve your life, turn off your computer, go out and get a girlfriend or something
