Still awaiting refund... and still...
I over-ordered a product before Christmas (my bad – someone was rushing me) and I had to return four of five clocks. The telephone assistant was reassuring, and pickup was arranged for the following week, 12th December. I doubt the lady got my return details wrong as I was so embarrassed at having to return these, quite expensive clocks. They were returned in their original boxes, unopened, and re-packed in the bag they arrived in. This package was heavy. The courier forgot to pass me a receipt and I forgot to ask for one.
The package must have arrived at Coopers though, because on 21st December my PayPal account was refunded. . . £9.79 for a single, substantially cheaper clock, which I haven’t returned.
Following further communications including via the website form and their ‘enquiries’ email have resulted in reassurances that my query has been passed on but no refund, although I am sure a simple stock check would confirm my returns. Although I have been happy in the past with products from this company and their customer service, I doubt I will be buying from them again.
UPDATE
Following the standard response from Coopers (see below) I sent yet another email with little hope (since I've called and emailed already, several times) citing this Trustpilot response. this time, I haven't even had a reply from the level 1 customer service assistants that answer calls and emails.
UPDATE April 2nd
Interestingly, the company have stopped sending me catalogues (which NEVER happens). Maybe they hope I'll forget about them.
I'm hoping that an end-of-tax-year stocktake will highlight four large expensive clocks they shouldn't have and one small inexpensive birdsong clock they don't have because I didn't return it. But will they be honest enough to admit their mistake and refund me?
The moral of this story is, make sure you get a receipt from the courier when returning goods.
