A Masterclass in How NOT to Run a Business
If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would.
My first experience with Whoopea will also be my last — and here’s why:
I ordered a collectible set worth over £100. When it finally arrived, it was a health hazard, not a collectible. The cans inside were rusted, leaking scented liquid, and the entire box smelled like a chemical spill. This wasn’t “a little shipping damage.” Rust does not develop overnight — meaning they knowingly sent a defective, old, and compromised product.
When I contacted customer service, they didn’t apologize — they blamed international shipping. According to Whoopea, the product magically rusted and liquified in one week on a plane. Science would like a word.
Their solution?
A 50% refund — on a product that is 100% ruined and entirely unusable.
They even had the audacity to ask whether I had filmed the unboxing. Because yes, apparently customers are expected to record every single online purchase, just in case Whoopea sends garbage and refuses accountability.
Their Terms & Conditions? Paper thin excuses designed to protect them — not their customers.
Their final stance:
🚩 No responsibility.
🚩 No replacement.
🚩 No accountability.
🚩 A condescending half-refund if you’re “lucky.”
Whoopea sells products that arrive damaged from the start, refuses to take responsibility, and hides behind transit excuses to avoid refunds. They quite literally washed their hands of selling a rusted, leaking product.
I strongly recommend that collectors and international customers stay far, far away. Unless you enjoy disappointment, wasted money, and customer service that gaslights you instead of helping.
Verdict
🔻 Untrustworthy store
🔻 Terrible customer care
🔻 Products unfit for sale
🔻 Buyer beware
This brand won’t ever see another penny from me — and hopefully not from you either.
