Horrendous customer service, poor packaging, damaged items whilst claiming they are premium collectables.
If you wouldn’t pick a crushed, resealed item off a shop shelf, you do NOT have to accept it from an online order.
If you pay by credit card, most debit cards or PayPal — you CAN dispute the payment.
I’ve ordered from Pop Mart online several times, but my most recent experiences have been shocking. There is no clear communication when something is a pre-order, and delayed dispatch of those of my “Why So Serious” set twice — same thing happened with a previous I found you Skullpanda too.
When it finally arrived, the delivery box was partly open and the Why So Serious box set was squashed on one side. Despite the fact they always poorly package their items (large box no extra padding) I do not believe this type of damage could be from transit alone.
The shrink wrap was intact but the outer box had TWO seal tabs — one already sliced open, the other obviously resealed.
Inside, 6 of the 8 boxes were damaged, 3 severely, and on inspection two of those figures had a strange odour, decreasing the value of self proclaimed premium collectable items.
Their website tells you to send an unboxing video, yet they only allow 20MB attachments. So I sent it via WeTransfer which they responded they “couldn’t view” it, requesting me to send it as an attached along with photos of the delivery box and label. More back-and-forth.
-Over the week, their “solutions” were:
A £10 slap in the face coupon (valid 30 days — not to use on MEGA are larger items)
-£20 refund (not even the cost of ONE £26 figure)
-An email basically saying “If the figures aren’t damaged, tough.”
-Refusing a return unless I pay postage first, and then only offering to reimburse with, yup another coupon.
This is not compliant with UK consumer law. If an item arrives damaged or not as described (aka appearing resealed, box damaged pretty much unsellable) , the company must cover return costs and issue a refund.
After 6 days of one-response-per-day nonsense, I had to escalate through my payment method.
Pop Mart online are cutting corners, ignoring UK regulations, and hitting customers with here's a gift of spend more money on us, instead of fixing their mistakes. Their packaging is sloppy, their policies vague, and their customer service dismissive.
If you’re a collector: avoid the online store.
Their behaviour is unacceptable, unethical, and genuinely shocking for a “premium” brand.
