For years I've been a loyal customer with them, then suddenly about 16 months ago it was claimed the subscription payment system was down and was being fixed.
For every month since then I was sent a manual payment link but now they've decided to stop that too effectively terminating my contract.
I'm furious as clearly people are buying the other subscriptions through the app and they have been lying to me. I do not understand why. Now im blocked from having a subscription with them. Absolutely awful customer service.
From poor tracking information which is inconsistent, rarely accurate and often incomplete. To a non-existent customer service completely controlled by a bot service. I strongly urge anyone to use an alternative service. The moment things go wrong there is just no reliable way to sort things out and things do frequently go wrong.
Deliveries don't happen on the days they're supposed to. Then happen on the days they're not supposed to. Never received and notification for a time window on the browser tracking service and never have we received items on the next day as promised.
When delivered we just get a picture of a random neighbours bottom half of a door, with no number or name, leaving us guessing which neighbour it could be and knocking multiple addresses to find our.
Overall, poor service all round and until MyHermes steps up their game, I will not be recommending their services.
Improve all of these things and then they would at least match up to their competitors.
Money has such great potential but it fails to even keep up with other similar services. Common things such as biometric security. Or round ups which are not taken instantly like others. The direct debit dates are confusing. On the app you'll be told it'll be taken Wednesday but then it is actually taken Monday. No one else I've come across is as confusing. I therefore now only use moneybox for my smaller pension observations.

Hi there - We're sorry to read your review.
We do offer FaceID, TouchID, pin, and passwords in order to access your account, so long as your device supports this. If you need any help getting this set up, please contact our team in-app (Settings > Help > Contact Us) and we can lend a hand. If there's anything more advanced you'd like to see, please also let us know and we can keep this in mind.
Apologies that the service is slower than you’d like! We take all payments via a direct debit - doing so means we need to give 3 days notice before taking funds from your bank account, which is the reason for the delay between the Wednesday collection and the money leaving your bank account on Monday. Speeding up this process is something we’re definitely looking to explore in the future and we will let all users know should anything change here.
I was charged twice for the same wash. Have been emailing in circles for 3 weeks now with customer services, getting nowhere. I have provided them with both recipients and no have no choice but to raise a dispute with my card issuer. Very disappointed with their customer services. Awful.
Was not offered much for my phone. But payment was received promptly after a personal hiccup of providing the wrong PayPal address.
Was offered £10 for an experienced Z3 with a cracked screen. I know it would have cost about £60 for a new screen repair and could be resold for over £100. They made a lot of money from this transaction really.
Firstly they never ever answer the phone. Have tried both of their numbers for over an hour on two separate occasions and nope. No answer.
Secondly you can not track your repair progress if you check out as a guest and through PayPal so despite sending my phone 7 days ago I have no idea what is going on, if it's on its way back, if there's been complications etc? Who knows?
Lastly on my 1st repair they used an excessive amount of glue to replace a screen and it was seeping this also led to the screen cracking due to the extra pressure.
Have sent it back for 2nd repair... But no email for order confirmation apart from payment with PayPal.
I can only suggest you avoid this repair site and go elsewhere.
I placed an order on the 3rd for a XZ Premium which was in stock and requested next day delivery. It is now 7th and despite being provided a tracking number, it is in fact invalid. The item has not been dispatched and I am not being allowed a refund. I emailed and contacted using the online form, but it was not until I got PayPal involved that I finally got a response.
I hope that by leaving this comment you will act quicker to refund my order in full.

Dear customer your item has been dispatched with tracking number JW284993357GB by Royal Mail . If Royal mail delays delivery, it's out of our control. Please return the item when received for refund. As explained on our shipping info page, next day deliveries can be delayed sometimes, in which case we would refund the next day charge fee.
Friendly personal but product knowledge was lacking, especially when I knew more about it than the people I spoke with. After 3 days of phone calls the price went up from £8 to £10 then to £25. Very irritating. Suggest the management put some training into the products their teams are selling so time isn't wasted for both the companys and me own.

Dear Ms Duke,
Thank you for your feedback and I’m sorry you felt the need to leave such a negative review.
The circumstances as I understand them are this. You rang us and specifically requested a PruProtect term life insurance (only) with Vitality option. This is not a product combination either we or PruProtect sell often so does not automatically appear on the results screen of our website. We therefore offered to create a quote for you manually.
We calculated 8 life insurance options but the initial premium quoted for life insurance only was £8. Adding Vitality option increases the minimum premium to £10, hence the first increase.
We then understood that you wished to add Vitality Plus to the policy (including free gym membership, free cinema tickets etc) which we advised you adds £6.80 to the monthly premium, and carries a minimum premium of £25pm.
We always do our best to offer a personal service, as we did on this occasion. I feel the comments regarding lack of product knowledge and wasting time are unfair as we completed these queries for you in a timely manner, without charge and provided you with the information you requested.
I am sorry you feel dissatisfied with this service.
