Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 127 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Consumers frequently mention that the general ordering process is simple and straightforward, while purchased items often arrive very quickly without any major complications. Many shoppers genuinely appreciate the remarkably helpful assistance provided by the team when resolving queries or checking shipment updates. However, some customers also noted frustrating issues with delayed deliveries, lost packages, and ongoing difficulties tracking orders effectively across multiple shipping providers. Others experienced notably slow responses from customer support when attempting to resolve active issues, faults, or request necessary product refunds. Furthermore, a few people mentioned receiving automated messages instead of direct answers when asking for help with their specific claims.

Abysmal customer service

Abysmal customer service. I ordered an Oura ring on this website through using the blue light card website. The package has been lost by DHL and activate on demand’s customer service has been terrible. I have asked for a refund and given evidence that DHL had lost my package and I am still yet to receive any confirmation I will get a refund or any compensation. It takes a day to receive a reply from them. It has been 2 weeks since I placed my order. If I had known this was a third party website I would not have ordered. DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE

Hi Amy,

Nice talking just now. Apologies again for the speed of comms from the team while they were sorting your issue with DHL.

Your refund will be processed today (was already in the queue, as DHL confirmed today that your package is now on it's way back to Oura's distributor after 2 failed delivery attempts)

Kind Regards
Justin

Update - Your refund (you requested yesterday) has now been processed with conformation emailed to you. Apologies again that DHL were not able to leave the delivery without a signature or deliver to you on a saturday.

Great Service and Support

It took a little longer returning an item but I have to say i had a great experience. The support team were really nice and helpful throughout the process. They were polite, understanding, and did their best to assist me. I really appreciate the good customer service and how they handled the situation. Thank you for your help.

Oura Ring


Updated Review – Issue Resolved

UPDATE: After posting my original review on Trustpilot regarding the difficulty I had getting a response from customer service, I received a call from Michael, who clarified that there had been some miscommunication. He confirmed that the Oura Ring I needed was actually available and could be sent out for delivery the following day.

Based on this reassurance, I decided not to cancel my order. Michael kept me updated and confirmed the following day that the ring had been dispatched and would be with me shortly.

I’m pleased to say that I have now received the ring, just in time to wrap it and give it as a present as planned!

Thank you to Michael for personally getting in touch, clarifying the situation and making sure everything was resolved. I really appreciate his help and the effort he made to turn the experience around.

I bought a ring camera through this delivery service. I don’t understand why the returns process is so complicated. The item was not used, I bought the wrong ring camera, they asked for pictures to process the return, which I sent showing the camera in pristine condition I only opened the box to prove the ring camera was in good condition. The camera itself was still in its wrapping showing it hadn’t been opened or used. But now they are refusing my return even though it’s within the 14 days and the camera hasn’t been used. I don’t know what more they want from me or why they are refusing my return and refund. They are now stating that because the box was opened (ring camera still wrapped) that if I want to return it I can only do that at my expense. This is insane and unacceptable it should be just as easy to return an item as it is to buy it.

Hi Jaison,

Your order was delivered on Monday

I've just checked our returns request log and you have not submitted a returns request yet.

Please have a look at your order or dispatch confirmation, and click on the link that says:

Return

and fill out the request form to get a returns label.

Once you have filled out the form the returns label will be requested from Perfect Draught's Distributor and should be with you within a day or so (they have a response time we need to factor in) once they release it.

You have my assurances that you will be able to return this product for a full refund.

Kind Regards
Justin

Update: Returns label provided yesterday - hopefully all good now?

The item I have brought has been…sent to a town with no street name put on it !

The item I have brought has been incorrectly sent out even though I told them immediately about the lack of a line in the address. they acknowledged this and said they would change it. I got an email to say its been sent but the courier states its with them Dreadful service . Goodness knows how they will deliver an item with no street name !!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Susanna,

Thanks for shopping with us and thanks for the review.

Huge apologies that Withings' distributor did not manage to amend the address before it before the package shipped out.

The good news is that you do have options here.

If you go into the tracking provided and select to deliver to parcel shop or locker near you, the package will be delivered there and you can collect rather than it failing delivery three times and being returned to us.

Kind Regards
Justin

Update:

Hi Susanna,

I have just checked the tracking and can see that you manage successfully to divert it to a parcel shop - good news!

You have my phone number if you need any further assistance.

Kind Regards
Justin

Returns rigmarole!

I have 14 days to return a Dyson Airwrap that I purchased, and I submitted my return request on Tuesday. What I don’t understand is why you have to wait for return instructions instead of being able to return the item straight away. It’s the only company I’ve dealt with that has this process.

It’s now been several days with no response. I’ve also raised a follow-up support ticket, but I’ve received nothing, no update, no acknowledgement, just silence.

The customer service has been very disappointing. With such a short returns window, I would have expected a much quicker response. At this point, the lack of communication is making what should be a straightforward return unnecessarily stressful.

Hi Amanda,

Thanks for shopping with us and thanks for the review.

I'm so sorry to hear that the experience is not as smooth as it should be for you . This is below Standards we have set for ourselves. I am investigating what's gone wrong in your case and bear with me as it's the weekend but you have my assurance that this will be sorted no later than Monday.

Kind Regards
Justin

Update - nice talking yesterday. Hopefully all good now you have the returns label? :)

Will it/won’t it be collected??

I ordered a Dyson fan through Vodaphone rewards.
Wanted to cancel the order but it was too late. Was advised to refuse the parcel on delivery, which I did on Friday 10th July.
Tracking acknowledges a return has been requested.
On Sunday 19th the fan was delivered back to me via my neighbour, as I was out.
I emailed and asked for it to be collected from me.
The customer services person replied on Monday 20th said they could arrange collection on Wednesday 22nd, but they needed a quick reply as it took 48hrs to organise. I replied within 15 minutes to say yes.
I haven’t heard anything since.
Should I stay in all day tomorrow on the off chance it may be collected? Should I take the dog out and risk missing collection? Who knows ….
I appreciate DPD are probably at fault for delivering the item back to me, but the problem I have is how long it takes for Activate on Demand to reply to emails … 24 to 48 hrs
I don’t have a clue what’s going on now.
(Tracking hasn’t kept up, still says it’s on its way back to DPD, when it’s in my porch waiting to be collected)

Update
Thanks to the intervention of Justin Christie
The fan has been collected, and a refund on the way

Hi Janet,

I'm so sorry to hear about this experience. I am looking into this case for you and also meeting with the customer service team this morning to find out why replies have taken so long to get to you. I'll be back with some answers and a solution ASAP.

Kind Regards
Justin

Hi Janet,

I have sped the team up on this one. There was a bit of a delay from Dyson's distributor issuing the returns label and DPD definitely not helping matters here either!

Looks like your collection is booked for Friday now. any problems, please contact me directly - justin.christie@activateondemand.com

Ordered Airpods Pro 3 1 day and arrived the following working day. Dispatch was advised and it was relatively easy to track. The only thing I would raise is they could be more specific as the DHL Division they use as there appear to be a few.

Hi Lauren,

Thanks for the review.

Apologies for the delay here.

Rayan's distributor (who work 9-5 mon-fri) requested an additional image of the packaging to help with their investigation into the wrong colour that you received.

We got your image of the packaging late last (Monday)night.

Your returns label will be issued today (Tuesday).

Kind Regards
Justin

Update - the team has sent you your returns label. Looking at the images the lens appears to be the green colour which was ordered.

Thanks for shopping with us

All the best
Justin

Update - have just checked and looks like you have not managed to get the sunglasses back in the post to us yet. please contact me directly if you are having any issues getting them posted
justin.christie@activateondemand.com

Update 23/7
Your return was posted yesterday - your refund has been processed today.

Please accept my sincere apologies for the delay here, the team member handling your return has been sent for retraining, as this has fallen below the standards we set for our business.

Kind Regards
Justin

I’ve had a great experience

I’ve had a great experience, quick responses to e mails and support. Ring doorbell and cameras at a fantastic price with my blue light card and quick receiving.. Totally happy and Justin was a great support when I messed up my e mail in ‘one pay’ and cancelled half way through messing my details up, ordered Saturday and Justin phoned me Monday to clarify things and received them shortly after. Thank you.

No Communication

The order process was good. Shipped on time but when it came to returning a product, Radio Silence! No one is bothering to reply to emails. The phone number doesn’t even ring. My order number is 333722

Hi Noreen,

I'm sorry to hear you have had an issue with your delivery driver. I'm pulling the comms from your case for investigation and will be back to you shortly today.

Kind Regards
Justin

Update - nice talking. I'm so sorry that DHL let us down with the quality of the delivery, and apologies again for the delay of communications while the team sorted this out and got your replacement shipped. Good news is that your replacement Airpods were already set to ship out today and are processing though the system. I'll drop you the tracking number once they have been allocated one.

Unsolicited spam with no option to unsubscribe

Expired a Ray Bans offer through Lloyds everyday offers. Deal wasn't particularly attractive so I didn't order and went elsewhere. Now I keep recieving unsolicited emails to continue with my purchase, which I didn't sign up to and doesn't seem to be any unsubscribe option for. Really unimpressed with the amount of unwanted spam.

I bought a Samsung A57 with my rewards…

I bought a Samsung A57 with my rewards scheme from my bank. As i'm not tech savvy, i asked a friend to set up my new phone. She tried several times, to no avail. I asked 2 others but still unable to set it up. I contacted the company to return it, which was a bit slow in generating a return ticket. However on reading the reviews on Trustpilot, i found the email address of the Boss Justin Christie.
He took the time to contact me out of hours on a friday after attending a family event, when he could have left it until monday. He has contacted me several times over the last 72 hours, giving me specific instructions on how to disconnect the phone, which even a numpty like me could follow.
Although i will have to try elswhere to obtain a new phone. Justin made the return process a much easier and less stressful journey. Thank you for doing so
