50p collection coin
I received a 50p collection coin that I didn't request, and it was received damaged in transit. I requested a refund and was told that I would get it as soon as I returned the coin. Also asked to have any auto-charges cancelled. The caller was helpful and informed me that this was done, and no further coins would be sent.

Hi. We’re sorry to hear how this has come across and appreciate you sharing your feedback. We understand how frustrating this must feel.
Our intention is always to be clear and transparent. The £2.99 charge covers delivery of the initial item, and any subscription, including pricing, is confirmed during the checkout process and in the order confirmation email.
If you’d like us to look into your account or discuss the charges with you, please get in touch with our customer service team—we’re here to help and will do our best to resolve this for you. Sally

I placed an order for a spitfire pin badge on the 13th March. They took payment which was just delivery a few days later and said that I would receive the order between 5-7 working days. I checked the website and it said if the order hasn’t arrived after the 7 working days then there’s been a delay and the order could arrive between 10-15 working days. Yesterday, April 6th, my order still hasn’t arrived. I checked my orders and it wasn’t there. I had to go through so many different settings to find it and I had a charge for today, a day into the future for a subscription I never signed up for. I removed my card IMMEDIATELY from their website and moved my money into a different account. I cancelled the subscription, contacted customer service on both issues and received some vapid response. Today, they charged me. Do NOT buy from them. It’s definitely a scam. Contacting the fraud department of my bank. Terrible people.

Hi, We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must have been. This isn’t the level of service we aim to provide, particularly when it comes to delivery times and account clarity.
We only charge a card upon despatch of goods and most deliveries arrive within 3–5 working days, although in some cases they can take a little longer. We appreciate that the delays you’ve described are not acceptable and should have been communicated more clearly.
In relation to the subscription, this is confirmed during the checkout process and detailed in the order confirmation email, however we understand your concerns and how this has come across.
We’re especially concerned to hear about the charge after you cancelled, and we’d like to look into this. Please reach out to us directly with your details so we can investigate fully, resolve this for you, and ensure any necessary refunds are processed. Sally
Biggest bunch of con artists going
Biggest bunch of con artists going. They claim in their Facebook advert that they offer a free commemorative coin (glossing over the fact it's £2.99 delivery charge). They then sign up people up to a £19.99 a month subscription service. Nowhere in your ad does it clearly state your a subscription service.

Get it right.
I ordered the 50p for 50p Titanic coin which I never received as they did not have stock. I then contacted customer services and cancelled the order as well as the collection that was to follow and was credited for the 50p plus postage that I had paid for. A couple of weeks later I received the coloured 50p Titanic coins with an invoice for £31.98 and the 50p for 50p that they did not have in stock the very next day. I then phoned the customer service again and explained that these continuous invoices are stressing me out as I did not want the coins to which he acknowledged that he could see that these had been cancelled. He suggested I return them at the post office to which I objected as the should not have sent the coins anyway, so he proceeded to arrange a pick up through Royal Mail which they duly did and that my account would be credited and there should be a zero balance.Even though the coins have been collected, I continue to receive emails from them saying that my account is overdue and I need to make payment. I have written to them 3 times and attached the proof email I received from royal mail that these were picked up and yet I keep receiving overdue emails.
Can someone please rectify my account and somewhere in the chain there is a lack of communication.
I would not recommend Westminster to anybody

Hi. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and the stress this situation has caused. This is certainly not the service we aim to provide, and we completely understand your frustration given everything you’ve had to deal with.
From what you’ve described, you took the correct steps by cancelling both the initial order and the collection, and it’s concerning that items were still sent and that you continue to receive payment reminders despite the goods being collected. We also appreciate you providing proof of the Royal Mail collection — you should not be receiving further requests for payment in these circumstances.
This does sound like a breakdown in communication, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this has caused you.
We would really like to get this fully resolved for you as a priority. Please contact our customer service team directly with your details, and we will ensure your account is reviewed, corrected to a zero balance, and that all further communications of this nature are stopped.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and again, we’re very sorry for your experience. Sally
Horrible customer service and standard
Hi. I placed an order with yourselves on the 1st of April. On the I emailed 1 hour later to have all orders linked to subscriptions cancelled. Phone first thing in the morning to make sure it was sorted. Was reassured all orders were cancelled that I wouldn't be hit with an unexpected bill next month. That I wouldn't have to wait to recieve my first order to cancel. Got emails today to say orders linked to subscriptions where dispatched and the email from yourselves tells me I do have to wait for first order and that they were already dispatched bear in mind the guy on the phone said he checked the email youd sent and reassured me that they were definately all cancelled. There's still 4 items NOT cancelled I can see through my account that are linked to subscriptions that yourselves wont even have in stock for DAYS. the day I called it was still 2-3 days for dispatch so plenty time to NOT send them. I can see plenty linked to subscriptions that have been sent to my address despite what your staff told me.
Thankfully I recorded the whole conversation. Screen recorded every correspondence and have screenshot daily the updates and what my account is saying.
You can fix this or ill be sending every last piece of it to trading standards, the fraud team with the bank and my father who is a solicitor and would be happy to help me out.
This is an utter joke and total scam
Not to mention the only reason I dint realise I was signing up to a subscription was because the writing stating theyre linked to subscriptions is in the fine print at the bottom
Already breaking trading standards with the false wording even then "cancel at any time with NO obligation" id say the inability to cancel orders. Inability to cancel subscriptions without the hassle of paying and receiving an order having to send it back etc is definately not mentioned under the subscription information in small print sure is an obligation.
If say its interesting that you have had the complete inability to cancel 4 outstanding subscriptions particularly that YOU dont even have in stock. And the cheek to say "we cant cancel these because they've been dispatched" 3 days after I was reassured they were cancelled .

Hi. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and can completely understand how frustrating and upsetting this situation must be, especially after you took immediate steps to cancel and were reassured that everything had been resolved.
This is not the level of service we expect to provide, and it’s concerning to hear that you’ve received conflicting information. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as this is clearly something we need to look into urgently.
While some orders may already be in process, we would always aim to be clear and accurate about what can and cannot be stopped, and we’re sorry that this wasn’t your experience.
Please be assured that you can return any unwanted items to us for a full refund under our 30-day free returns policy, and we will also ensure that any active subscriptions are cancelled to prevent further charges.
Given the circumstances, we would really like the opportunity to review your account in detail and put this right for you as quickly as possible. Please contact our customer service team directly, quoting your details, so we can investigate fully and work towards a resolution.
Thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this for you. Sally
The Westminster Collection Scam
I ordered a coin priced at 50 p. It arrives. A month later, my card is automatically set up for a deduction of over 25 pounds and again the following month. My bank, suspecting a fraud, blocked my card. I had to manage without a card until my new one arrived. I can see online that several people have been duped thus. The use of the name Westminster and the use of Royalty coins etc. gives them a terrible cover. Could I report them to the government, the police or a consumer watchdog so that they don't scam others?It would be interesting to ask the owner of Westminister Collection if he would mind paying for a coffee at Starbucks and then find that the small print on the bill said he was subscribed to 25 pounds a month.

We would never intentionally take a payment without permission. Some items can be part of a wider collection, and details of this – including any future deliveries and charges – are outlined on the product page, during checkout, and in the confirmation email. That said, we’re sorry if this wasn’t clear in your case.
Please also note that all items we send are covered by our 30-day free returns policy. Any unwanted items can be returned for a refund, and our team can also assist in cancelling any ongoing subscriptions to prevent further charges if you haven't already cancelled via your online account.
We’re here to help and want to make sure this is put right for you. Sally
Subscription trap
Trapped me into a subscription without making me aware of it. Charged me £30+ before I unsubscribed from it. This is how they make their money.

Do not sign up to their offers
Do not sign up to their offers. They will constantly harass you, demanding money for nothing. It’s an absolute nightmare. I emailed when nothing had been shipped and they said they’d ensure nothing would be. They then started demanding £1.99 saying my “account is overdue”, even though they’d already said nothing would be sent. I’m now in contact with Trading Standards.

I have been in contact with your customer service team for almost 30 days but they ignore what I say and just keep hounding me. (MA06126)
