Not adequate.
So far, my experience with them is far below the standard or a reputable company.
Ordered goods on Friday and they have not got back to me except to say that they "will be contacting me later".
Listen up, Odds and Pods. I do not want you to "contact me later". I want the goods I have paid for. You seemed to have no difficulty taking my money. Make with the goods.
THIEVES
They are a disgrace. Do not use these people as they are thieves.
Very frustrating!
Asked for a returns form in January to return a faulty item which I would like replaced. Although I received an email acknowledgement no form ever turned up. I emailed a few times and then returned the item anyway. We are now 2 months on and I have heard nothing.
Given up waiting
I ordered 3 items from this shower of s**t on the 13-02-11 and money was taken off my credit card the same day and am still waiting for the delivery of the 3 items, I sent them 3 emails of which non have been answered
DONT USE ODDSANDPODS THEIR USLESS CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT ALL.......ALL WHAT A JOKE COMPANY
I FOR ONE WOULD NEVER EVER USE THEM AGAIN TOTAL RUBBISH
Don't waste your money
Looks like I've also fallen for their scam, In february I ordered two pair of headphones and received nothing and ive have had no replies to my e mails either. I've given then 7 days to reply and if I don't hear anything I will complain to the office of fair trading as well as trading standards whilst claiming from my credit card company. I'm also considering taking them through the small claims court as they will have to pay my costs as well, so I have nothing to lose.
No response after over a month. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
I place d an order with these people on the 14th february and still ahve heard nothing regarding delivery of the order or a refund.
I've called them twice and left messages and have sent three emails but still no response.
DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM!!!
No response after a month
I bought an iphone dock a month ago, the money was taken out of my account after a day or two and I still haven't received the product or any response from my phone calls and emails.
No refund or contact
Bought my son some £175 headphones from this company and they broke within a few days of opening. Despite lots of emails and phone messages, I've had no replacement (or even an address to post them to) or refund. Do NOT purchase from this company regardless of how cheap they are
will never get my money back
waiting since november 2010 for replacement earphones, guess what no returns form, no earphones no chance of money back use this company at your peril.
Terrible service. DO NOT USE!!!
First of all, I'm only giving them a rating of 1 star because that's the least I can give them. If minus ratings were available, they'd get minus 10.
Like almost everyone else here, I believe the good reviews are fake and I've had nothing but trouble with this company. I ordered goods before xmas, received confirmation of my order by e-mail right away, then received an e-mail informing me that my order had been sent to their warehouse for picking and would be PICKED within 2 days.
I sent an e-mail complaining about this time scale and was sent exactly the same -mail back explaining that the order would be picked in 2 days. It took 2 weeks for my order to arrive and, reading the other reviews here and on other sites, I consider myself lucky that it arrived at all.
I noticed that the bluetooth headset I'd ordered in black, had been supplied in silver, so I immediately e-mailed them to inform them of this and asked for them to arrange collection of the delivered item, or some form of prepaid delivery in order that I could return it to them. I also asked for delivery to me of the correct item. My e-mail was ignored.
I then used their online returns enquiry form, thinking I'd get a response this way but, true to form, no response. I resubmitted my claim again today, but only after I'd done a little digging through google only to find HUNDREDS of poor reviews and complaints from other people, on two different sites (there will probably be more) complaining about; deplorable service, goods not arriving for weeks if at all, wrong goods being delivered, goods being returned for replacement but no refunds being issued and the customers attempts to contact them not being answered, and claims that fake goods are being supplied.
A friend ordered from them too and has received faulty goods. Despite contacting them nearly two weeks ago, they have had no response at all!
All I can say is, don't give these people your money!!! I will DEFINITELY not be ordering anything from them again!
Terrible service and counterfeit product
I purchased two sets of headphones before Christmas. A pair of Sennheiser IE7 and Sennheiser IE6. Midway through the process I tried to amend the order and cancel the IE6, but could not reach oddsandpods by email or phone.
The order did arrive promptly, but I was unable to arrange a return, via their process or the complaints process.
I strongly believe the IE6 are FAKE. I have an old pair purchased from the Apple store and the package is noticeably poorer in print and construction quality and lacks the Sennheiser holographic mark. I will be pursuing this matter further.
Oddsandpods should be shut down based on all the chatter on the www.
***AVOID***
Like most on here, received terrible service. No goods, no replies to e-mails, tel calls etc. Eventually had a response and when I mentioned/threatened small claims court and trading standards, they promised to refund me. Finally got refunded today. The whole process took almost a month!!
believe the bad ratings
ordered goods in early January 2011, end of february and still no goods, emails go unanswered so am going to report this to visa and obtain refund under credit card guarantee
Do Not Use
I should have read the reviews before parting with any money, no sign of my goods, no reply to answer phone messages, no reply to e-mails......please save yourself the hassle and DO NOT USE
Do not Buy
Like everyone else, I DIDNT BELIEVE in the reviews and tried as i wanted a studios headphones which are way cheaper. i had the headphones in 15 days later. Not surprised it was fake, i returned it straight away, they promissed exchange, nothing happened, they refuse to refund my money, and they dont anwer my emails anymore. I will try my bank. FAKE GOODS, FAKE COMPANY, BEWARE
Do not use this company
My son spent His Christmas money buying these Sennheiser earphones and they are faulty. The company do not answer the phone and do not reply to emails. I am going to report them based on other feedback. They were not cheap and my son has lost his money. Disgusting to to this to young students.
FRAUDULENT COMPANY DO NOT USE
I purchased an “iPig” iPod docking station, as a Christmas present for my daughter, from Odds & Pods on 23/11/10. The site promised the item would arrive within the week, it did not.
Despite numerous e-mails, the item had not arrived after two weeks and I purchased it instead from Amazon. The Odds & Pods iPig arrived a day after Amazons, so I decided to return it.
It took 6 e-mails and two weeks to get a response from Odds & Pods regarding return advice. It was returned by tracked Parcel Force, and signed for by M. Reeder, presumably "Mike" from all the e-mails.
Now 3 weeks later I still have not received the refund for the iPig, despite constantly e-mailing them, telephone calls are met with an answer machine and I have yet to get a reply, despite leaving many messages.
I have today contacted my credit card company who have informed me that Odds & Pods are a sham company and the iPig I received is likely to be counterfeit.
This is nothing other than theft. I will be reporting the company to trading standards and hopefully something will come of this.
How can companies like this continue to trade?
bad communication, fake, poor quality goods, slow reply
item order of there website on 09/02/2011 01:07. later on within that week I sent two messages via there website saying "why is it taking so long to process?" - Didn't get a reply.
sent a email to them on 13/02/2011 10:23 via there email address at "questions@oddsandpods.co.uk" saying "hi, i still haven't seen it get pass the processing stage at this point in time. so when will my item be delivered?
please replay"
14/02/2011 15:36 - got a message saying "Your order has been passed to the warehouse for picking and will be sent within the next 2 days unless we advise you otherwise"
item arrive 15th Feb 2011 next day and i notice the box and headphones looked a bit different from the ones i seen at currys/pc world. The headphones itself looked poorer in quality compare to the ones I've tested at currys/pc world and the stitching on th ear muffs looked like it was done in a "hurry". The cushion on the ear pads didn't seem all that round/curve seen online and wasn't as comfy as the one I've tested. also after plugging in my Sony Vaio laptop pc to check for sound quality the rubber casing surrounding the 3.5mm jack came lose, further evidence that it was most likely fake.
check around the net and my suspicion lead me to believe it was fake so i contacted the company on 15/02/2011 16:25. stating
"hello i like to inform you that the item you sent me is faulty and fake. I would like a full refund and a replay please if you don’t i will take further action."
waiting for a response now and will update this review depending on there response
my order no. 18948
DON’T BUY ANYTHING FROM ODDS & PODDS!
Ordered several things to my son’s mobile phone on the 18th of December for Christmas and paid £58.
When queried on it’s whereabouts – I got the reply from “Mike”:
“Sorry this was sent to: “XXX”. “Is that the correct address and i will resend it. Mike”
No further replies from “Mike” to my emails.
Mike, you should be glad you don’t live in Copenhagen, otherwise …
Good were not as advertised and ignored refund/return attempts
I would be extremely wary about dealing with this company. I ordered some accessories for my mobile phone, including an in car holder with charger.
When it eventually arrived (I had to chase them up to get a tracking number as it did not turn up when it was supposed to) I discovered that the car charger did not work as it had a micro USB connector. My phone cannot charge via micro USB and therefore the charger was not fit for purpose.
I contacted them via their return function on the website. I received an automatic email which said that my return request had been received and they would be contacting me with details. I waited over 2 weeks and heard nothing.
I tried emailing and got no answer. I then visited there address only to find out that it was a mail drop off and they don’t actually work from there. So I am stuck with a cable which will not work and have no way of getting a refund.
They have not bothered to contact me in the three months since I purchased, despite numerous requests via email and through their website.
Also, the day after I made my online purchase from this company, someone illegally used my credit card and ran up a £1,800 bill.
