Extortionate Courier Charges, hiding behind the Brexit Blame
I know the bog standard answer from the company‘we tell you on the website about the Brexit Charges’
Well i think you should give people an indication of the charges. I honestly thought the delivery charge had been taken this into account.
the charge was another 25% on top of what i paid. i had already spent more than my budget £150. if i had known the courier charge would be £50, i would not have ordered the sweets. I was tempted not to accept the parcel, but they have you be the short and curlies. Perhaps if i had read the reviews on the quality, i would have written off the £150+.
Why would i expect the product to come from the Netherlands. Mars are in Slough!! Who would have known they put this part of the company in Europe.
What makes it worse is i thought it was a scam. i didn’t open the UPS Emails as it looked like a scam. The guy from Mars, could have easily been in a scam telephone centre, his accent and aggression, also pointed towards a scam.
If this for orders over £135, why don’t they suggest customers make two orders, or more if needed.
Customer Service is what it says on the tin - looking after the customer, putting yourself in their shoes! How would Mars Leadership feel, if they were presented with this extra charge?
i would recommend when you calculate the charges, you have an extra line saying plus courier charges of £50+ ( to be confirmed) before delivery. Customers should have full visibility. i feel you have contravened the Consumer Rights Act of 2015. “This Act addresses unfair terms and conditions, including unexpected charges for delivery. if a courier charge was not CLEARLY disclosed at the time of purchase or is deemed unreasonable, you may have grounds to dispute it or even reject the purchase “
i will leave you to ponder on your conscious and if you only do one thing, CLEARLY disclose the courier charges
