Avoid this scam !!!!

I’m trying to return a Veho speaker and they keep trying to scam me.

they asked me to sign a doc that states:
“Activate OnDemand (AOD) Ltd. Customer Faulty Goods Declaration
Please fill out the section below with your name and order number.
In signing this document, I confirm that the item(s) being returned are faulty and were so on
arrival in accordance with the Activate OnDemand returns policy (attached).
I understand that faulty items will be checked on arrival at Activate OnDemand’s 3rd party
distribution centre and if the item is not faulty and/or return conditions are not met, I
understand that I will be ineligible for a refund and the item will be disposed of.”

I never even mentioned that the item is faulty, but they will dispose it if is not and i don’t get a refund.

then the worst of the worst (email from them) :

“We kindly wish to inform you that we can only accept returns for items that are unused, in their original packaging, and with all security seals intact.

To proceed with your return request, may we please ask you to confirm whether the item is unopened and that the warranty seals remain unbroken?”

how TF could i be happy/unhappy with a product if i’m not allowed to open it!

And in their return details:

“RETURNS
Our policy lasts 14 days. If 14 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.“

there is no mention about warranty seals.

But when i received the item it had already 2 seals (one on top of the other) and the bottom of the box was damaged by the previous owner.

I already have 5 days since i’m trying to return this item.
to get a reply to my latest email i have to wait another 24-48hours: and who knows what other silly ways to delay or scam they will come up with.

it will be at least 6-7 days just to have it approved to send to item back.
FCK knows how long will it take to get my money back!!!

Ordered a Ninja Airfryer via the Lloyds banking app link, and a week later am still waiting for my order to arrive. Have had to chase numerous times for tracking, only to be told my product appears to be lost in transit by Yodel. Takes a long time for them to respond to your emails instead of someone just handling it then and there. Am now being asked if they should rearrange for my product to be sent to me?? Which would be quite obvious as I’ve paid for it. Not sure what I am going to get in what state and when it will eventually arrive.

Customer Support

I had a fantastic experience with Activate OnDemand. With a small issue I had, the team was incredibly responsive, understanding, and supportive throughout. Their customer service is honestly one of the best I’ve encountered,friendly, quick to respond, and genuinely caring. Highly recommended!

Ordered a ring door bell and cameras on 13th May, no tracking information provided. No update after chasing this via email twice.
Rubbish service.

EDIT: this has now been resolved after a call from Justin and prompt delivery. Advised issue with emailing system.

Hi Keri, Thanks for the review.

I'm sorry you have been let down here.

Unfortunately Ring went out of stock on the camera pack with no warning. We did send a communication to customers who were waiting but unfortunately due to my error, your order number was not on the list of customers to contact.

Our CS team replies to mails within 24 hours and your 2 mails were just under 7 hours apart.

I'll give you a call with a solution to this unacceptable experience.

Kind Regards
Justin

Update: Nice talking today and thanks for sharing the screenshots, I agree with you. I have the team looking into the lack of response for us, and as soon as Ring are back in stock we will get your order shipped out.


Update 23/5 - All sorted and your order shipped out today :)

Update 02/06 - thanks for the update, hopefully next time we give you a 5 star experience from the start

Hi Fatima, I'm so sorry your order was delayed. Ring unexpectedly went out of stock on the twin pack of cameras and we are working with them on a solution. We had sent a delay notification but looks like you did not get one. We spoke on the phone this morning and as promised I have cancelled your order and processed your refund.

Never delivered & No updates

Received an email from Yodel that the item was being sent back to the shipper, without attempting delivery.

Have not received any information or update from Activate even though they have taken the money.

Very disappointed as bought this through Halifax reward.

This service is absolutely fantastic.
Ordered a ring doorbell to my office address but forgot I would be away.
I also used an email address I didnt have access to so I couldn’t check for updates. Reached out with the few details I had, Justin immediately located my order, provided me with an informative update and refunded me straight away.

I was so impressed I’ve since reordered and received my product on time

Delivered on-time and exactly as requested

Unfortunately I wasn't in to receive the order (Panasonic DentaCare Series 300 Oral Irrigator) so the order was delivered to my local UPS office for safe keeping (within 1 mile). I was able to track the order and pick it up at my convenience.

Customer service was fantastic in reassuring me that the order was still at UPS and still had the opportunity to pick it up or alternatively receive a refund.

Awful experience, waste of time!

Order a product through a reward program from Vodafone. Didn’t receive anything, they said it was delivery to a “Mary”, them back and forward with emails, I honestly still wanted to product, they gave me a refund, I guess it’s better than nothing BUT what a complete waste of time. Awful! Really poor customer service on the complaint approach also.

I bought a ring video doorbell and chime. When I opened the doorbell I noticed it wasn’t fit for purpose. Activate onDemand have refused to take it back although it’s been never used! That’s very poor customer service.

Hi George,

Thanks for the review.

I'm sorry you overpaid for postage when returning your opened product for a full refund.

I'm not sure why you paid so much - using parcel2go.com i was able to get a quote for about £4.50 to ship the package to our warehouse.

Excessively long time to process refund

I ordered a breadmaker via my banking app promotions at the end of October 2024, unfortunately the item turned up damaged.
The damaged item finally got collected in January 2025 and the refund processed at the beginning of February 2025.
So after about 16 emails with me chasing them numerous times and 3 a month wait it was finally all sorted, why it took so long to get this sorted I have no idea.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for taking the time to review. I have had a look at your case and I agree it took too way long to get you refunded. We were somewhat let down by UPS here in the quailty of the delivery and the speed of the uplift.

Please accept my unreserved apolgies for this. I am so sorry you had to work so hard when it should have been us doing the lifting on this.

We will learn from this as part of our continuous improvement.
