Not what I'd call a company with morals
Not what I'd call a company with morals. I ordered a plate and changed my mind shortly afterwards. Note that I hadn't sent them any documents and I changed my mind almost immediately after ordering. Hence they definitely didn't start to make my plates and had not incurred any costs at this point. Yet this company wanted to charge me £5 for administration for my refund! This is the first time I have EVER known a company to charge you for cancelling an order. Lots of other plate companies out there, try elsewhere. Note that they did give me my £5 back in the end but this isn't acceptable.

Dear Mr Fox,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re disappointed to read your review, especially after we provided a full refund as a gesture of goodwill. Our £5 cancellation fee covers payment processing costs we incur, even if an order is cancelled, as these fees are non-refundable to us. This policy ensures fairness and sustainability, given the significant expenses involved, especially with buy-now-pay-later services.
Furthermore, our request for original documents complies with legal regulations set by the Government. We aim to provide excellent service, and your comment on our morals feels unjust.

Reply from Utopia Plates
Hi Dr. Mohsen,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience, but we would like to address some important points:
1. Documentation Requirement: You did not receive your number plate due to the fact you did not send the requested documentation we legally must view prior to producing any number plates. Our website clearly states in multiple places that we require documentation for number plate orders, and this is not hidden information. We encourage all customers to carefully review these requirements to avoid any delays or misunderstandings.
2. Illegal Number Plates: We do not produce illegal number plates, and we are transparent about this policy on our website. With this in mind, you placed an order for illegally spaced number plates and expected us to break the law for you. We adhere strictly to legal standards, and our refusal to produce plates that do not comply with these standards is in line with our commitment to quality and legality.
3. Cancellation Fee: The £5 charge you mentioned is a standard cancellation fee outlined in our terms of service. This fee covers the costs we incur from our payment processor when an order is canceled. We are transparent about this policy to ensure customers are fully informed, including stating it on the number plate builder page.
4. Customer Conduct: We strive to treat all our customers with respect, and we expect the same in return. Our staff reported that the interaction was difficult due to being repeatedly talked over, which is not conducive to resolving issues effectively.
Additionally, leaving multiple reviews under different accounts is a breach of Trustpilot rules and does not help in providing a fair and accurate representation of your experience.
We hope this clarifies the situation and encourages a more considerate approach in the future. If you have any further concerns or need assistance, please feel free to reach out in a respectful manner.
Best Regards,
Charlie and The Utopia Plates Team
