    I just did a mock order online at aquaspotworld.com and I received a email from them later on, stating my order and everything even though I did not pay.

    Am I liable for payment? Shouldn't be right?

    They don't have a payment method on their website?

    They do, but I'm wondering if they follow the "delivery after payment" or "payment upon delivery" method...

    I did email them saying I didn't mean that order though.

    *pray* if not I've got to dish out 100 plus bucks for that ADA diffusor I anyhow clicked.

    I was just bored.. best thing I put my real address everything lol

    Since you never posted any credit card details and etc, they would not go through with the deal or might just contact you with a follow up email to ask for the type of payment you wish to pay in. (They do not accept checks or money order so you should be fine....not sure about paying cash on the spot though since they never mention that form of payment.).

    Peter, went to the last stage where you're supposed to enter in your credit card info, I just closed the browser after that.

    Cacatuoides, I didn't!

    I suppose the stupidest thing I could have done is to put down my real address... lol

    Then you don't need to worry since you never mention how you are going to pay.

    The programming needs some work. It shouldn't have send out anything without the payment method completed.

    The thing is, legally, you made a purchase... They can be nasty and make you pay... Unless it is a technical glitch... which is likely, as you did not complete the purchasing process and they are already being informed of a purchase request...

    Relax, no worries. No card info, no payment. Don't be like me, type everything 6 times and the 7th time my order went through but guess what? The 6 times that I've been trying to update was counted as a purchase each. But thank god the bank had hold the payment instead of making the transaction. Made me sweat!

    Dear Squee and members of the forum,

    Do try to take the shopping cart experience more seriously. Our guys here have more things to do than to clear your unconfirmed orders each time you are bored.
    As a moderator here, we believe you can set a better example for the rest to follow.

    Wow... those were harsh words.. coming from a retailer..

    This is honestly the first time I've encountered a retailer reprimanding his potential clients. Instead, you should take this incident as a form of positive indirect feedback to improve on your online ordering system. This is what Service Singapore is about...

    I believe most potential customers would like to 'try out' the ordering procedure first before actually making a purchase, especially so for first-time customers. Furthermore, the threadstarter didn't actually complete the entire ordering procedure thus the transaction was invalid in the first place!

    A friendly suggestion: You could include, in your webpage, detailed instructions on how to make an online purchase, with clear pictorial instructions stepping the potential customer through every stage of ordering.

    My personal opinions. No offence intended.

    That says it all. We have no right to reprimand anyone who sincerely wishes to buy. Our website is set up for that purpose, not for people to kill their bordom.

    Seems like this thread is going to flare up real soon. Whatever needs to be said, has been said.

    Thread closed.

    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    A woman: without her, man is nothing.
