History in coins
Following the, as usual, polite response, I learned of a new Patron Saint I had never heard of.
Thanks to the Patron Saint 50p collection, I found out about St Sampson, who is the Patron Saint of Guernsey.
He was born in the late 5th century in Wales and was one of the 7 founders of Brittany. He arrived from Brittany in the 6th century, bringing Christianity to the islands. The later church was consecrated on 22nd May 1111.

A star customer service
I've only dealt with the Westminster Collections company twice, both times over the phone with a lady cc alled Diane. She has excellent customer service, is very polite, understanding and helpful. She understood my situation and showed her empathic side in every way possible. I would definitely recommend this company and I myself will surely go to them for future dealings. thank you Diane, you're an absolute star.

I ordered 4 items after making an account and entering my card details so as far as I knew the moneys gone and items I ordered would be with me a soon as they can. I then received an email receipt/invoice listing the 4 items and informing me that the money will be taken once the items have been dispatched which I have no problem with. I then go onto my online banking and it says I have 2 pending transactions, not 1 but it doesn’t say any more than that but I know iv only granted one transaction. I then googled the company to see if anyone has experienced this and sure enough almost everybody has had the same problem, buying a single item atomically signs you up for a subscription service. Apparently it’s very clear that that’s what is happening but I didn’t see it and thousands of others didn’t see it so how clear was it really? I then figured I’d get ahead of these payments being taken and cancel everything because they claim to be very helpful with this time of situation. Sooo I go back to the site to log in and it tells me my accounts has been deactivated and I need to verify my accounts I just have to go though the email they send me for verification, I look and there is no email from them apart from the original bill. I then use there help section which was useless but it eventually told me to email them with my problem and they’ve ignored me. If the items show up I’m ok with that as that’s exactly what I wanted but if a second payment comes out it’s theft as I have absolutely no way to stop it.

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, and we appreciate you taking the time to explain everything in detail.
We understand how concerning it must be to see multiple pending transactions and feel unsure about what you’ve agreed to. To clarify, when placing an order, an initial authorisation can sometimes appear on your account. This doesn’t mean multiple payments will be taken, and any funds are only captured once items are dispatched, as mentioned in your confirmation email.
Regarding the subscription concern, we’re sorry this wasn’t clear to you at the time of ordering. Our intention is always to be transparent, and information about any Subscription Introductory Offer is shown on the product page, during checkout, and in the confirmation email. That said, we recognise that this may not always feel obvious, and your feedback is important in helping us improve how we present this information.
We’re also very sorry to hear about the issues accessing your account and not receiving a verification email. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers. Emails can occasionally land in spam or junk folders, but if you’ve already checked and still haven’t received anything, our team would need to look into this for you as a priority.
We can reassure you that subscriptions are completely flexible and can be cancelled at any time, and any unexpected deliveries can be returned free of charge within our 30-day returns period for a full refund.
Please could you try contacting us again with your details so we can urgently review your account, confirm the status of your order, and ensure no unwanted payments are taken. We’re here to help and will make sure this is resolved for you as quickly as possible.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Unauthorised Charge and Unsolicited Delivery
I was charged £28.99 for an overdue balance that I do not recognise or accept.
I did not subscribe to any ongoing service or agree to any recurring payments. My only authorised transaction was for a single badge. Despite this, I later received an item I did not request, followed by an invoice.
This appears to be an unauthorised charge. I have requested that the invoice be cancelled and offered for the unsolicited item to be collected from my address.
This experience raises serious concerns around billing practices and transparency. I would advise others to be cautious before making any purchase.

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand your concerns regarding the charge and the unexpected item.
Our intention is always to be clear when an order forms part of an ongoing collection. Details of any subscription or future deliveries are provided on the product page, during checkout, and within the order confirmation. However, we’re sorry this was not clear in your case and appreciate how frustrating this must be.
As mentioned, all collections are completely flexible with no obligation, and you can cancel at any time. Any items you did not request can be returned within our 30-day returns period for a full refund, and we can also assist with arranging this for you.
We’re glad to see you’ve already been in touch regarding cancelling the invoice and arranging a return. If this has not yet been resolved, please contact our customer service team directly so we can review your account in detail and ensure everything is corrected as quickly as possible.
Your feedback is very important to us, and we take concerns around transparency seriously. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Misleading Offer and Unauthorised Subscription Charge
I purchased two coins under an offer that clearly stated I would only need to pay £4.99 for postage. However, after a month, I discovered that £29 had been deducted from my account for a so-called “subscription,” which I was not made aware of at the time of purchase. This is entirely unacceptable and appears to rely on misleading marketing practices. I did not knowingly agree to any subscription, and I consider this charge to be unjustified.
I would like to return both coins and request a full refund of all charges incurred.

Free actually means stealth subscription
Was unaware that by accepting the free gift if of a concorde coin, automatically signed me into a monthly subscription.
I only found out when I saw a payment coming out of my credit card. I was totally misled and surprised these tactics are legal.

Absolute con artists.
Absolute con artists.
Offer a single coin at postage and packing price only then scam you into a subscription that debits money without authorisation.
Tried to speak to Kelly (customer services) who was very patronising and condescending.
I strongly believe these sales tactics are designed to trick the older generation into a subscription they did not sign up for or want.
This company should hold their heads in shame at their sales tactics.

Quick response to my concerns
I placed an order for an item which required a payment of “£2.99 upon despatch”. The details on my bank app to approve the payment showed a payment of £0.00. I therefore cancelled the order as I was wary that more than £2.99 would be deducted from my account. Received prompt and satisfactory response explaining why payment was shown as £0.00. I will re-order.

Thank you for your feedback.
We completely understand why this may have caused concern, and you were right to be cautious when reviewing the payment request.
To clarify, for orders like this, payment is only taken upon despatch of the item. This means that when your bank asks you to approve the transaction, it may initially show as £0.00, as no funds are taken at that stage. The full amount (in this case £2.99) is only charged once the item is ready to be sent.
We’re sorry for any confusion this may have caused, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention as it helps us improve how we communicate this process to our customers.
If you would still like to place the order or have any further questions, our customer service team would be more than happy to help.

Con-artist
Purchased a Queen Elizabeth II 100 year commemorative coin from this lot . They sent me a totally different coin of King Charles . Fell like I’ve been scammed . I have read on this site about poor packaging and envelopes being interfered with . I WANT WHAT I PAID FOR !.
They say I can return the coin for a full refund . So I would suggest this is a possible scam to get rid of a load of junk coins that they can’t sell . Some people will just except that coin so it’s a win win for them . My plaster has been “ RIPED OFF “ !!
