I ordered some speakers from a (until now...) reliable company on the 6th of november, i've still not received them, or even any news of a shipping date. they weren't in stock when i ordered, and i they were in contact with me to tell me they were waiting a delivery, and they should have had it by the 10th of nov. i've not heard from them since.
since ordering, the price has gone up by £75 (i bought them at £325 a pair, they're now £399)

they've not taken any money from my account yet, and is still on back order so i get them at the old price when they do come in. price has also gone up a lot across all suppliers as far as i can see, so i'm kinda locked into them now.

but i'm getting pretty annoyed they're taking so long. is it reasonable to ask for some sort of extra discount for my inconveniance? how much, and how would i word it?

its these ones

going to email now, just to ask for an update.

Why not give em a call tomorrow? Personally I think you'll be lucky to get a discount for your inconvenience given that the price has just increased. No harm in trying though.....

there wont be £75 proffit in speakers at that price so i think you'll be lucky to even get them at the old price let alone any discount

when they weren't in stock, they told me they'd have them in 5 days. its well past that now lol.
yeah, i'll give another call tomorrow and see what they're saying. annoying thing is, i could have got them from a differeent place for the same price with next day delivery, but you try and be loyal to a place you've spent hundreds with (maybe thousands now...) and its not happening

I have a pair of REGA R3's going for £300 if you want 'em... they'll be going on eBay soon so let me know asap

These are mine

^ thanks, but i've always wanted cerwin vegas since i was at a village party when i was like 7. it was a tent in the village square, with DJ and CV speakers. it was awesome

No probs - thought I'd ask! ;-)

I ordered an out of stock LP earlier this year online which they said would probably arive in a week, six months later they emailed me to say the LP was out of production and cancelled m order.

I would say they're not under any obligation to give you the speakers for the old price if the suppliers have put the price up, they would be if they'd already taken money from you though.
