AVOID. DREADFUL RETURNS POLICY WHICH RATHER THAN THE £2.99 ADVERTISED ACTUALLY COST ME OVER £50 – AND they tried to refund me £15 less than they owed.
I ordered multiple items, intending to try on at home and return the rest.
I checked the returns policy before ordering this large amount of bulky items. It states on their that they “have a no quibble 28 day returns policy”. I checked their Returns section of their website which states that I should just add a returns label for £2.99 to guarantee I could return all items with “no extra costs involved”
The items came: in two large boxes. But they only included ONE returns label. The returns wouldn’t fit in one box though.
I looked again at their returns section; deep within their FAQ buried in there it states that each parcel of returns is limited to an insurance pay out of £50 if it was lost or damaged by their chosen courier; but I needed to return merchandise worth £800.
I emailed M and M direct customer services to ask for clarification, stating that this wasn’t made clear at the point of purchase, and nor was it made clear that I would have to buy two returns labels anyway because they were sending my items in two boxes and not one.
In response, their customer services rep simply accused me of being a trader who was selling their items on! She therefore said that I was not a standard customer and that the Consumer Regulations 2015 did not apply to me and that she would not be sending another returns label either.
I emailed back with a complaint, and also asked them to show me where I was allegedly selling their items. And obviously I stated that I was a normal customer who had made a big order with the intention of keeping some and returning the rest and I was very concerned to read that this meant in their eyes that I was suddenly a trader and not a consumer and that they also expected me to swallow £750 losses if their courier lost or damaged the returns parcels and asked them for clarification.
I did get an apology from their customer services manager for this, and an acknowledgement that in fact I was not selling on their items. But he also said that all their returns boxes are limited to £50 pay out if they are lost or damaged by the courier and therefore I would either had to send them back uninsured and stand to lose £750 if they got lost, or pay a separate courier myself and fully insure them.
So I had to pay OVER £50 postage to return the unwanted items.
There then followed a week where they also under-refunded me; £15 short and they quibbled repeatedly about this. In the end I had to write down every single item returned with its product code and cost and added them all up and told them to get their calculators out and see for themselves they were £15 short.
They refunded me in the end. But what a palaver. A misrepresentation of “quibble free” returns and a misrepresentation of the “hassle-free” £2.99 returns service – which cost me over £60 and about six hours of my time.
NEVER AGAIN. Avoid.
