packaged orderd in Nov 2025 arrived in January -product expired
After exchanging approximately seven emails with customer support, I was finally given the following option:
“We will provide you with a gift card worth €105. You can immediately use this gift card to purchase any other type of product in our online shop. It will be valid for one year.
We will also issue a refund of €97.98 to the card used for payment. This process may take up to 10 working days.”
This situation occurred entirely due to the vendor’s fault. The order was meant to be a Christmas gift, yet it did not arrive for Christmas, nor even for New Year.
When the package finally arrived, I immediately stated that:
the products were expired, and
they were clearly not stored under optimal conditions,
despite having spent over three months in transport.
After contacting customer support honestly and requesting compensation of €150 (only €50 more than my original order), considering:
the uninsured transport,
the extremely slow response time, and
the consistently dismissive and unhelpful replies,
I rated the customer service as poor and the transport handling as irresponsible.
In hindsight, I should have refused to collect the parcel. By accepting it, I lost the opportunity to properly dispute the delivery. I am now left with expired products worth around €100, which are unusable.
I do not intend to take legal action, but at this stage:
I have no usable products,
no proper refund,
and no compensation for damages or inconvenience.
Customer service has stated they can do nothing further.
Thank you,
Zamnesia.
