Terrible experience in an ongoing dispute...
I am having a terrible time with this company, and I believe I have been let down in an ongoing dispute.
Let's start from the top.
First, I ordered a jumper in two sizes. I fully intended to send one back. I sent it back within 30 days to receive an email saying I would receive a refund. Two days later, I received an email saying I'd been refunded a gift card to use on the online store. This was a bit annoying as this wasn't stated in the first email or made obvious to me.
I contacted Idioma about this and stated I would like a full refund for my card. They responded by saying they didn't need to refund my card, which I queried as being against UK trading standards law. Their lawyer emailed me back, telling me I was wrong. I emailed them back, stating that their refund policy was unclear.
I decided I didn't have the time to fight this at this point. I liked the quality of my first jumper, so I bought a second. It came and was too bigâwhat a nightmare.
Now that I know their returns policy, I sent the item back to them for a change in size. The return was received a few days later. A week and a half passed, and I sent 1-2 emails chasing said return to finally receive an email from someone saying that the package had been damaged.
By this point, I imagine Idioma doesn't like me, doesn't want to receive my emails, and, quite frankly, doesn't care if I'm a customer or not.
Apparently, the jumper I sent back has a hole in it, and so does the package. This is totally plausible, but with no proof but a simple photo. I'm sure it would be well within someone's rights to just stab a parcel for that annoying customer who's just trying to get a refund.
The dispute is still ongoing, and although they are pleasant in writing emails, I still feel betrayed by this company's lack of customer care and prompt communication.
No refund was given for this ordeal, no apparent changes and no end to the stress caused by losing over £15 in shipping fees and £60 for the apparent damage in the transit jumper.
Idioma sent me a final email today to apologise. They are a small company with only a few staff members, and they were away on holiday, which gives them the right to treat their customers like this...also I have been told the only way to get any money back will be to contact the post office for refunds.
I will also write a full report and send it to the British Trading Standards Authority.
Avoid this company.
