They sent the wrong item which means I have to pack and post it back.I have to pay poststage which is then refundable to me.
Order cancelled. One of the items in a set not in stock. No initial communication when chased said it would be in stock the next day. Asked for them to advise. No communication. So cancelled the order and will look elsewhere.
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SHOP.
I placed my order on January 5th (#38539), and it has been over two months of absolute silence.
The order is still stuck "In Processing," and the shipment never moved.
I have sent more than 10 emails and reminders to their support team and Maxine, but I am being completely ignored. This is not a professional business - this is a scam behavior.
Save your money and go elsewhere !
I ordered the item and after paid by 5 minutes i cancelled and request to refund the order as i changed my mind , but they ignore my request and continue processing the order next day without even looking to my cancellation and refund request,,,,
This is unacceptable,
Really happy with the quality of the hoodie that I ordered

I've made several orders on Refstop, any problems i've ever had I've always received a polite response on their email customer service team. I recently purchased some badges, coins and a mystery pack for £10. I probably received £40 worth of stuff back which was a surprise, including the new kit bag, cards, sweatband. I told them I was going to Portugal for an event and they've stocked me up ready for it, even gave me some of the CORE coins to trade! One of the best and most reliable places I shop on for my refereeing gear! Thanks again :)

Ordered a referee kit for my daughter. Ref stop got in contact to check something on my order - and sure enough I had messed up! They sorted it and still had the right package delivered within the time needed. Excellent communications.
