Warehouse Express problem!!! Please help...

Hi all, not sure if anyone else has had any problems with WE, but I`m puzzled over their customer services today.

I bought a teleconverter for my camera in June. Turns out the advice I was given by WE for the teleconverter was wrong & it doesn`t fit my camera. Tried emailing several times to get returns number, but had no response.

Then I made the mistake of ordering a filter from them, they send the wrong one to me. Yet again no repsonse to emails for a returns number. I tried the Live Chat but was never `chatted` to. Any phone calls just end up with the operator telling you that you have to email the details to them...argh!!

Last month I finally spoke to someone and told them I`d returned both items in September after eventually getting a call back & being given a returns number. WE bloke says `oh yeah, we forgot to refund you. We`ll do that today.` I ask him to confirm the amount, but the amount he gives me doesn`t include the £190 odd for the refund of the teleconverter. He says that only the filter was in the parcel they received. I definitely posted both back together, have still got proof of postage, neither item is any good to me.

I`ve now had an email saying that they won`t be refunding me for the teleconverter as they didn`t receive it back with the filter & that`s that. If I have any problems with that to take it up with Royal Mail.

My `problem` is that they admit they took the filter back but have said they didn`t get the teleconverter back.

Where do I stand with this matter? I`m pretty sure RM won`t care as their job was done.


Sorry for the rant but I`m really pi**ed off with them. Their whole attitude sucks!!!

Anyone had an experience like this? What was the solution?

  • Would the weight of the teleconvertor be enough to show up as a difference to just the filter, I hope I made sense.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    How did you send it back...regular, recorded or special delivery?

    Yes your receipt from RM should include the weight

    I sent it back using ordinary post so no record of the weight etc.

    I know I should`ve used recorded delivery but to be honest I wasn`t in the best frame of mind to be thinking straight having just lost my Dad a few weeks earlier.

    I remember the lady at the post office saying it would cost x amount and me just not having enough money, as it wasn`t the only thing I was posting that day.

    I`m screwed aren`t I? Relying on their honesty wasn`t a good idea methinks...

    You're not being very clear about what's happened.
    Also, If you sent it normal post then you can tell from the cost what weight range it is. Check your receipt.

    The only receipt I have is the proof of posting slip, not an actual receipt for payment. I may have that somewhere but can't lay my hand on it at the moment.

    What isn't clear?

    Regular/recorded covers you for up to100 X 1st class stamp cost...£42? Special Delivery is what you should have used I think. Check the Royal Mail website
