Professional company

When I ordered the pin I didn’t realise it was a subscription, when I received the second order I emailed Westminster collection, they messaged me back with the step by step instructions, and even a postage paid label.

They stole my money

Today £36 was taken out of my account. I was not even informed that I signed up to a subscription last month when I bought a coin for my son. The sent me an invoice and there was no information about the subscription at all. This site is misleading. The coin is not part of any collection and therefore it’s a way to take money off people if they don’t find out they laughing. Stop this fraud, if someone signs up for a subscription is should he made clear via email or post. Why just take money from someone’s account. The names Westminster is a coverup to mislead people. I tried to remove my card details but I cannot because of the subscription which is ridiculous. I cannot cancel the subscription either.

You can cancel your subscription at any time via your online account or by contacting our customer service team directly. We also offer a 30-day free returns policy for any unwanted items, and our team would be happy to assist you in processing a return and refund if you no longer wish to continue.

Disgusting company

I recently saw an advert for 99p coin on Facebook, thought it was a good offer so I purchased online.

Week or so later a coin arrived.

Later I received 2 letters, one demanding £22 and another with "court action" threat on the OUTSIDE of the envelope. Which was posted in a communal post area.

I had no knowledge I was signing up for anything and looking online, it appears many others have fallen victim to the same scam.

I will now be looking at legal action against them.

Shady practice and bully boy tactics to chase debt I never signed up to take on

Absolutely despicable business.

Avoid like the plague

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear about your experience.

We understand how upsetting this situation must have been for you. It’s never our intention to mislead or cause distress. When a purchase includes a Subscription Introductory Offer, we make every effort to communicate this clearly—details are shown on the product page, during the online checkout, in your confirmation email, and again in a letter with your first delivery.

We also provide the option to cancel at any time, either through your online account or by contacting our customer service team. All our deliveries are covered by a 30-day free returns policy, so if you ever receive an item you weren’t expecting or don’t wish to keep, it can be returned for a full refund.

Regarding the envelope, we’re truly sorry for the distress caused by the wording visible on the outside. This is not reflective of how we aim to communicate with our customers, and your feedback on this will be taken seriously.

If there’s anything further we can do to help resolve the matter, please get in touch with our customer service team directly.
