I like the coin- Windy Miller
I like the coin, but wish I hadn't had to ring up to find out how many there would be, with the subscription.

Absolute scam of a company - avoid at all costs!
I purchased the free Concorde 50 commemorative coin via a Facebook ad where you just pay the postage and get the coin free, as I have done with a number of other coin collection services with no issue at all.
I received the coin a few weeks later and though the packaging was very poor compared to other free coins I have ordered, I didn't really think anything of it and just noted that I wouldn't order any of their free coins again.
A few weeks later I had a notification from my bank saying The Westminster Collection had attempted to take £31.98 out of my account but were unable to due to insufficient funds.
I contacted my bank as I assumed this was an attempted fraudulent transaction but was told that I had been enrolled in a monthly subscription with The Westminster Collection without me knowing anything about it. The person I spoke to at that bank said this inertia selling happens all the time and advised I cancel the subscription.
I emailed The Westminster Collection telling them that I had NOT signed up to any subscriptions with them and to please remove my details from their database.
A few days later I received a letter from the Westminster Collection saying my next delivery for the Complete Concorde Commemorative Collection was enclosed and that I owed them £31.98 though nothing was enclosed apart from the account statement and an empty piece of cardboard packaging.
I received a letter today from their Debt Recovery Department today saying that there is an outstanding balance of £31.98 on my account and that this had now been passed to their debt recovery department for further action and that if I failed to make the payment within 7 days, a further admin fee of £30.00 would be added and they would seek legal action to recover the monies owed!
This is obviously very threatening and concerning, particularly as they haven't even sent the Coin that was apparently the second delivery in the Concorde commemorative collection that I didn't even sign up for in the first place.
I'm not quite sure how they are able to get away with this as having now done some research, it seems there are lots of people having the same issue. Absolute low life scammers -AVOID!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry to hear about the concerns you have raised regarding your order, subsequent communications, and the distress caused by receiving correspondence from our Debt Recovery Department.
We have requested your details through Trustpilot so that we can investigate this matter fully and review your account. We take feedback like this very seriously and would like the opportunity to understand exactly what has happened.
The details of any associated collection or subscription are provided within the original advertisement, on the product page, during the checkout process, in the order confirmation email, and again in the documentation included with the first delivery. We are sorry that this was not clear in your case and that you were left feeling unaware of any ongoing commitment.
All collections are of no obligation and can be cancelled at any time through your online account or by contacting us directly. Our team is always happy to help with any questions regarding an account or collection.
From what you have described, it also sounds as though the delivery may have arrived without the product enclosed. We would never ask a customer to pay for an item that they have not received, and this is something we will investigate as a priority when reviewing your account.
If you have not already done so, please contact our Customer Service team by phone or email. Our friendly, knowledgeable and empathetic team will be able to review your account, discuss the communications you have received, and work with you to resolve any outstanding concerns.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We look forward to speaking with you and finding a resolution.
Missing Coin
I received 3 envelopes on the same day. 2 had coins inside which I had ordered. One did not have a coin and the envelope was not securely stuck closed. Maybe the coin had fallen out, I do not know. After telling Westminster collection they have said they will replace the missing coin.

Notification of subscription sent by EMAIL after PURCHASING a single coin
Bought a single item.
Did not realise it enrolled you in a collection/subscription service nightmare, I checked and looked before buying anything, it is not on the Original Internet listing it is sent to you after the fact in an email😠 That was sorted into my junk folder
Contacted them to cancel.
Received written confirmation on 23 May that the collection had been cancelled.
Today Received another pile of junk in a unmarked box nothing to distinguish whom it is from.
Returns process has been difficult practically impossible as the post office collection service does NOT recognised the address 🙄
You're disabled and dealing with unwanted deliveries creates additional hassle, cost an wastes the time of my carers who are here to help me with care needs not to return cancelled unwanted toot!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration this situation has caused. We understand how disappointing it must have been to receive a further delivery after receiving confirmation that your collection had been cancelled, particularly given the additional difficulties this created for you.
Information about our collections is provided during the ordering process, in the order confirmation email, and with the introductory delivery. However, we're sorry that this was not clear in your case and that important communications may have been missed.
We're also sorry to hear that you experienced difficulties with the returns process. We appreciate that this would be especially frustrating when dealing with mobility or accessibility challenges, and we understand the inconvenience caused to both you and your carers.
Your feedback is important to us, and we would encourage you to contact our Customer Service team if this matter has not already been fully resolved, so we can review what happened and ensure the appropriate action is taken. Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention.

This company is predatory, and automatically signs you up to a recurring subscription.
They advertise free coins in which you only cover the cost for delivery, and then automatically sign you up to a self-renewing subscription. They evade legal action by making details regarding this unwanted subscription sign-up as unnoticeable as possible, as this company relies on the customer not noticing the fine print. I am a student and have very little money, thankfully that also means the funds did not exist in my account to unknowingly pay for this coin in the first place. It does not matter that you state information regarding this subscription sign-up upon purchase, as multiple people have expressed that this has happened to them too. This emerging trend suggests that this company has not accepted any responsibility nor taken any action towards ensuring the customer does not so easily sign up to this subscription service unknowingly.
If this standing charge is not cancelled after my return is made, or if my return is not received within a reasonable timeframe causing the 30 day return period to conveniently elapse, I will make it my mission to bring greater public awareness to this automatic-subscription feature so that others may not fall to this company's questionable sales approach.

Hi. We’re sorry to hear you feel this way. The details of the collection and future deliveries are stated during the ordering process and within the order confirmation email, however we are sorry if this was missed.
We certainly do not aim to mislead customers and always encourage anyone with concerns about their account or collections to contact our Customer Service team directly with your details so we can help resolve matters quickly.
If you no longer wish to continue with the collection, this can be cancelled once your first delivery has been received, either by contacting us directly or online via www.westminstercollection.com/help/my-collections. Thanks, Sally
Absoloute farce of a company
Absoloute farce of a company. Purchased a pin badge via their offer through facebook. The offers are only to sneakily enrol you in a subscription package. The subscription is not clearly stated on facebook or at checkout. I am now being threatened with legal action. I advise anyone considering a purchase to avoid at all cost.
