“Sent 2 orders in one box to be told this isn’t possible, then paid the lower order amount of £7 instead of the higher order of £22+! It’s disgraceful and will strongly recommend people take caution if they use music magpie!”

Hello Julie, We're sorry to learn your experience was not positive. We do not recommend sending multiple orders into one box as it can cause delays in processing - we advise sending each order in their own box. As multiple orders were sent in one box, we cannot account for them separately. A claim was raised for your order as we had the relevant information for it. Kind regards, mM CS

“I decided to use MusicMagpie to sell a large bulk of DVD's I had collected over the years. Based on their customer reviews and their advertisement, the process looked to be quick and straightforward. How wrong I was. After scanning, boxing and sending around 180 DVD's to MusicMagpie I eagerly awaited notification that the items had been received. 6 months down the line and a few ignored emails later, nothing. After deciding that 6 months is long enough to wait I called MuicMagpie's customer service. The lady on the phone seemed nice enough at first as I explained to her the situation. After a few minutes, she put me on hold so that she could speak to her superior. When she came back something had changed. She became rude and snappy. She told me that 120 of the 180 DVD's I'd sent 6 months ago "never reached" them and that they could only pay me for the 60 or so that they "definitely had received". Lacking the time or the effort to argue for the sake of £15 or so (out of the £24 I was quoted for 180 DVD's), I accepted the (undisclosed) payment they "definitely" could pay me which would be in my bank "within 2 days" and left it at that. 2 weeks later, am yet to receive payment for the 60 of 180 DVD's I had originally sent to MusicMagpie, with the other 120 still mysteriously missing? To conclude, I am disgusted with the quality of service offered by MusicMagpie. Ignorance to emails, rude over the phone and to be frank, they have robbed me blind. I will never use MusicMagpie again and most certainly will not be recommending to a friend.”

Hello Ben, We're sorry to learn your experience was not positive. Having looked into your order, we can see that it was originally created in December 2017. We received a small amount of items in your order, but the vast majority of it did not reach us. This would indicate that a parcel, or a number of parcels, have been lost in transit to our warehouse. Should this situation arise, the customer would need to notify us to begin the claim procedure. To make a claim for a lost parcel that has been sent through Hermes, we have to be notified within a 28 day period as is their time frame, along with the receipt for the collection. Outside of the 28 day window, there is nothing more we can do. We state this in our terms and conditions: 14.3 You must notify us in writing of any loss or damage, giving rise to a claim within twenty-eight (28) days of the date on which your Package was accepted by the Pass my Parcel or Hermes ParcelShop, Post Office or MyHermes as applicable (the date of which will be shown on your returns receipt). We apologise that the payment for the items we have received have not reached you. The amount for the items we did receive is £5.15. This will be raised to ensure it is paid. Looking into your order and on our database, we could not find any emails from the email account you have provided. Can you please confirm which email address you had contacted? Kind regards, mM CS

“What an absolute disgrace. I sent a phone, a ps3 and some games. Supposed to be same day payment. Delivered on the Thursday morning, nothing happens until Friday. Obviously not same day. First they say there were scratches on the screen (there were no scratches and it had a screen protector on at all times and in a wallet case) and took £50 off the value. Then when I begrudgingly accepted nothing happened for 4 days so I went on chat and was asked if I sent the PS3. Yes I did, well apparently they have lost it (I do not believe a word of that) and they would now need to start an investigation which will take 48 hours. Called up to speak to a manager, apparently their managers are mutes who cannot take calls, but was told nothing I could do and wait for the investigation. After some back and forth, he spoke to his mute manager to must have used smoke signals to say he will bypass the investigation and make payment. No email or anything to say they could not locate the PS3 and they just do not give a damn. Scamming company. I would rather throw the lot in the river than deals with these charlatans again. -100 stars would be too good for these idiots.”

Hello Paul, We're sorry to learn your experience was not as positive as we'd have hoped. Having looked into your order, we can see that your items arrived with us on 13/7/18 - a Friday - and we emailed you to let you know we received your items. As your order was not complete on the Friday, we could not issue payment. The Galaxy S6 in your order was originally listed as being in good condition, yet upon testing it was found that this was not the case. Due to heavy scratches on the screen of the device, the item was regraded to poor condition and a revised offer was made. As per your chat conversation, our agent advised that if you decline the revised offer the item would be returned to you free of charge. As you accepted the offer, payment would be issued instead. As per your chat, our agent did not state that the PS3 in the order was lost - they reiterated that it had not been scanned. This issue was then raised with our tech department to ensure the issue could be looked into further. Your console was located and tested, and found to be in the condition originally listed on the order. We'll email you when payment has been authorised. Please note that payment can take one working day to clear. Kind regards, mM CS

“I sent them my iPad I bought last year. It's worth £130 on the Apple website trade in but I don't want Apple vouchers so I thought I'd try Music Magpie. I sent it in and granted it didn't take long to arrive, but I recieved an email saying it had 'dents on the casing' and it was worth £14.25!!!!!!! What?? Absolute waste of time and will not be going back.”

Hello, We're sorry to learn your experience was not positive. Having looked into your order, we can see that it lists a iPad Air Wi-Fi (64GB) in good condition but when the item was received and tested it was found this was not the case. The casing of the device is bent as opposed to being dented. Bent casing deems the item to be faulty so your item was regraded and a revised offer was made. As the revised offer has been declined, the item will be returned to you free of charge, as per our price promise. Kind regards, mM CS

“Ordered refurbished iwatch from here once I receive the watch there was no charger. called customer service to be told from the less than helpful member of staff that it doesn’t come with a charger as they don’t ask for them ( don’t know how im supposed to charger the watch) No where on there website does it state you won’t receive a charger yet if I purchase the watch through a third party like amazon it states in the description you will receive 1x strap 1x charger 1x box.

“I bought an iPhone for my nephew. Second hand. It was to be shipped abroad and I didn't want to buy just any second hand in case there is some problem with the phone. Because the claiming they refurbishing the phones I picked them. It's either a lie or they must have the biggest cowboys on earth working for them. From start the screen didn't react for number 7. Next day the microphone stop working to. My nephew was delighted at the beginning but it turned to disappointment. The only department they have, what is worse than the cowboys they call technicians is there customer care team. When I sent an email to their customer care team they didn't even have the decency to get back to me. Benedek”

“crooks. ok for buying stuff. TERRIBLE for selling. Gave me a price and then whopped 90% off the offer price for, wait for it.... BECAUSE I LEFT THE PHONE IN A BUMPER CASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Phone exactly as described, and sent with an additional bumper case to protect it and they tried to drop price by 90%. Ipad sent was perfect when sent and wrapped in bubble wrap. Guess what it got cracked mysteriously and they could only offer £1. I wonder if they have a special department where they throw electricals on the floor to reduce the amount they have to pay. Customer service wasnt interested in any discussion or dialogue. STAY CLEAR ABSOLUTE RUBBISH. lets see if this appears on your website or do you do as I think and just publish the good ones. Or maybe theyre just all made up?”

Hello, We're sorry to learn your experience was not as positive as we'd have hoped. Please note, none of your items were revised due to a case being left on. Customers often send their devices with cases on as a form of protection in transit. We merely remove the case upon testing and dispose of the case. It has no relevance to the testing process. Having looked into your order, we can see that five tech items and one media item were listed. The tech items are: - iPad 2 Wi-Fi (32Gb). This device was originally listed as being in good condition but when the item was received and tested, it was found that this was not the case. As the screen of the iPad was cracked and lifted, it was deemed to be faulty. As this is how the item was received, we have to assume this is the condition in which the device was sent - unless you have proof otherwise. Please note, devices are not tampered with upon arrival as there is nothing to be gained from such an act. The item was regraded to faulty and a revised offer of £10 (not £1 as listed in your review) was made. As this was declined, the item was returned to you free of charge. - iPhone 4 (32GB) UNLOCKED in good condition. The device we received in your order is an iPhone 4 (32GB) EE and was in poor condition due to heavy scratches. Heavy wear and tear / scratches is explicitly listed as a criteria for poor condition devices. The item was regraded and a revised offer was made - as this was declined, the item was returned to you free of charge as per our price promise. - iPhone 4s (16GB) UNLOCKED in good condition. The item received was faulty due to the battery being expanded. The item was regraded, the revised offer was made which was declined. The item was returned to you free of charge. - iPhone 5 (64GB) UNLOCKED in good condition. When the item was tested, a green frame around the LCD was found of more that 1cm. The screen of the device was also listed - this meant the item was faulty. Because of this the item was regraded and a revised offer was made. As the offer was declined, we returned the item. - iPhone 5c (16GB) UNLOCKED in faulty condition. The item we received was found to be in the correct condition and was accepted upon testing. In regards to our customer services team - we can see you emailed us about the revised offer for the iPhone 5 on 24/5/18 and our team responded the following day. Our team have explained over three emails the situation at hand with your order. Payment for your order was authorised on 5/6/18 and should be in your bank today. Kind regards, mm CS

“Everything you send to MM they receive then test and send you a revised offer of a paltry sum! Which you can’t be arsed to contest as you wouldn’t of sent them it in the first place, I’m sure they then sell on at a generous profit to themselves. They used to be excellent to deal with in the past! So all you people with tech to sell try CASH4GADGETS as they pay prompt and no quibbles. And please MM don’t send me one of your patronising emails of “ sorry to hear you had a bad experience “ cause you clearly are just blackmailing people.”

Hello, We're sorry to learn your experience was not positive. When orders are created, we offer a number of different options to send your items to us. The cost of using these services is covered as we send our pre-paid labels or labels for a courier. Having looked into your order, we can see that you chose to use a different service which meant your item did not go through the normal channels and the order could not be fulfilled as normal. Due to the different label and method, the item did not go to the correct department. This caused a delay in your item being processed as normal, as explained by the Complaints team. Please note that email replies can take 48 hours; we can see that you had requested an update from Complaints little over an hour and a half from your last email. Unfortunately this does not give the team enough time to get back to you. Your item reached the relevant department on 22/5/18 with your order being completed the same day. Payment was issued on 23/5/18 - this should clear with you today if it has not already. Kind regards, mM CS

“Package not received and never highlighted as having been dispatched. Contacted them and they said that it was despatched and "...it would appear that the courier has unfortunately lost the delivery". They immediately offered a refund but did not offer to replace the item (the site is listing it still as in stock). I'll just go else where for the item...music magpie have maybe bitten off more than they can chew as far as managing their logistics.”

Hello Mark, We're sorry to learn your experience was not positive. Media items are expected to reach customers within 7 working days; once this time frame passes it would appear that the item has been lost in transit. In this situation, we will attempt to send a replacement if the stock allows. Replacement stock differs from store stock to avoid any confusion. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards, mM CS

Hello Gavin, We're sorry to learn your experience was not as positive as we'd have hoped. When your device was received and tested, liquid damage was found on the screen of the device, on the right-hand side. We explicitly list liquid damage as a faulty condition specification so the item could not be accepted as being in good condition. A revised offer was made and the item was regraded. As the revised offer was regraded, the item was returned to you free of charge, as per our price promise on 9/5/18. The item was delivered on 11/5/18 according to the Royal Mail tracking.

“My Samsung S6 32GB is being returned due to it still apparently being locked despite having gone through all the requested procedures (removal of find my mobile) and factory resetting it before sending off. They refused to recheck while it was still in their care due to "Samsungs requirement to send it back to me" even though their selling rules state I have 22 days to remotely remove accounts if found to be locked when it arrives with them. COPIED FROM SELLING RULES "Do I need to remove my iCloud, Samsung or Google account before sending my phone? Yes, you will need to remove any accounts and personal data before sending your device. We have detailed advice on how to do this on the following pages: Apple: https://www.musicmagpie.co.uk/icloud Samsung: https://www.musicmagpie.co.uk/unlock-your-samsung-device If your device is locked to an account when it arrives with us, we’ll contact you via email asking you to remove the account remotely. The process of removing your account is as follows: - You have twenty-two days in total to remove any accounts and security features. - If you successfully remove your account and contact us within this time, we will issue your payment as normal. - If you’re unable to remove your account and security features, we will return your item for free. - If you do not remove your account and security features within the timeframe, or fail to let us know that you have removed your account, we will recycle your device responsibly. " My only option is to get it back and place another sales order with them although the offer price has dropped by about £10!

Hello Dawn, We're sorry to learn your experience was not as positive as we'd have hoped. When your Galaxy S6 device was received and tested, it was found that it was locked to a Samsung account. We state on our website before an order is created that this should be removed in order to process the order properly. If a device is locked to a Samsung account, we're unable to access it due to the personal information used. Following your call with one of our advisers, the item was marked to be returned to you on 9/5/18 rather than the item being retested. The item was returned to you on 14/5/18 with the item being delivered on 17/5/18. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards, mM CS

Hello Allan, We're sorry to learn your experience was not positive. In a rare occasion when an incorrect media item is sent out to a customer, we provide a pre-paid label so the item can be returned to us without additional cost to the customer. These returned items can take a few days to reach us and when they do, we email the customer to let them know and issue a refund. Upon your correspondence, we had not received the returned item so we asked for a proof of postage to issue a refund. As this could not be produced, we informed you we would have to wait until the item was received. Your patience is appreciated. Kind regards, mM CS
