I NOW DO NOT TRUST MAPLIN'S OWN REVIEW SITE, as they appear to reject any reviews that criticise them. I bought a drone costing approx £1,000 and decided within a few days that I should return it, box seal unbroken and immediately did so, Their policy appears to confirm that refund would be within 14 days. Despite contacting Mapline (see copy of a correspondence below) no refund of money yet and I am now in the 4th week!! I tried to leave a poor review on their site and they rejected it as it was a complaint about their customer service.(I had already contacted their customer service but no apparent action).

Took to Belfast store in packing box that it came in. Asked assistant to look at article box to agree that seal was unbroken but he refused and taped up the packing box. Policy states that returns will be dealt with within 14 days. On 12th day I contacted their head office and they were not aware of return and had to check and ring me back. On coming back to me it appears that item was still in Belfast but would be dealt with promptly and someone would ring back to update me. Now 15 days after it was returned and no word back never mind the refunding of approximately £1,000. Just glad that I have credit card protection as it appears it may be needed. Totally shocked at this extremely poor service and causing stress with the outlying money.
