CommentsThey had the best price on what I wanted, if they have the lowest price next time I will use them again. Bit dissapointed that there was no discount for buying two of the same item
 Retailer's comment

CommentsStaff could not tell me whether I needed a Memory Stick with or without adaptor - took precaution of buying one with adaptor that cost £12 more, but didn't need adaptor after all so wasted £12.

Camera came with French plug and no UK adaptor, so couldn't charge battery - camera useless without battery! Still waiting for adaptor to arrive.
 Retailer's comment

Thank you for your review.

We apologise for the inconvenience regarding your order.

Most of our equipment are European and the electrical plugs are generally 2 pin continental plugs . The voltage is the same and our products are the same spec as you would get in the UK (This is stated in the terms and conditions). When the parcel is being prepared on our warehouse an adapter is included to the parcel. If this converter plug is missing, we can ship another adapter, or possibly refund a flat fee of £3.00 as to allow the customer to purchase one locally.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Pixmania Customer Care.

Best regards,

Team Pixmania

CommentsA very good experience, easily researched and paid for. Delivery right on time as promised. Packaging taken away for us. I expect our new fridge freezer to work as specified. Would highly recommend Pixmania.

CommentsI was very satisfied with the description of the product, the purchase when it arrived and delivery and packaging. I nearly didn't order because of the way the price was noted. It was in both Euros and pounds and I thought that the price was higher. I think the desription of the article should refer clearly to any VAT payable- postage/delivery charges are clearly indicated.

CommentsAfter a few days i was told my item was not in stock and they would not know when it would be available. I then received two emails asking me to phone France (I live in the UK) to verify the order or it would be cancelled.

CommentsMy initial thoughts were positive but then I got a message to say whilst the site indicated the goods were in stock they weren't and I could not await further supplies. I needed a freezer quickly. To add further to my dissatisfaction I have now been informed that I have to to wait up to 30 business days to have my money refunded as I paid by Barclaycard. In the meantime Comet have delivered and I am using my freezer. enough said!!!!

Commentsvery bad delivery. Parcel force did not even leave the parcel at my post office (walking distance) It left it at the New Malden post office which said I had to pay an extra £1.00. I refused. Then they phoned me to say they had made a mistake and I had to travel there again to pick it up. I should be able to charge you £7.00 collection fee as you did not deliver my parcel. I dread it when I see someone is using parcel force. Thisis the only thing likley to put me off using you again. All else was good.

CommentsThis was an item I ordered and the cancelled the order within about 60 mins. Its very difficult to believe that Pixmania could not have halted the delivery. Pixmania's information about the returns process was very unhelpful and incoherent. The impression given was of a company not very good at dealing with problems

An order can be delayed for different reasons. Some of our payment options take a few days before they are validated and are ready to be dispatched. We also do a security check on all orders paid with a debit or a credit card and if the customers do not answer to this security check the order might be delayed. If you have chosen express delivery and the order has not been delivered time you can contact our customer service and we will refund the express delivery cost.

CommentsProduct arrived with a European plug on it and not a British one, had to buy an adaptor, this is NOT a good customer experience

Spent five hours on Saturday trying to get product to work without success, instructions came in very badly translated English - have a television engineer coming to look at it tomorrow, but fear the product will only work in Europe and not Britain. I then face the prospect of having to parcel up and return it to you for a refund, which when you are busy is hard to find the time and that still leaves me without the product I thought I was buying.

Very disappointing - will probably not be buying from you again and doubtful that I will recommend you to anyone else - in the current economic climate that is probably not want you want to hear!
 Retailer's comment

Thank you for your review.

We apologise for the problems you have had with your order.

If you receive a European plug instead of a British one with your product we advise you contact our customer service that will send you a free adaptor.

When sending back a product you should always contact us before so that we can help you fill in a returns coupon and possible arrange for a pick-up to be done. Our phone number is 08700 118 117 and we are open Monday to Friday from 10.00 to 18.00.

CommentsPixmania's site was very easy to navigate and search.
Setting up the account was straightforward and all confirmation emails and checks were good and I was happy to see an additonal check on my particular card which runs click safe which not all online companies use.
The prices are very competitive and I like the idea of their club, (I have never joined one of these before in over 10 years of online use!)
Good order tracking and super-fast delivery, packaging was good with all items wrapped in one box.
Overall a very good service, Thank You.

CommentsIt was easy to find what i wanted on the website although the comparometer only works on one page so it was a bit difficult to compare specifications for products situated on different pages. But overall, ordering on Pixmania is always a pleasant experience and I usually highly recommend it to people around me.

CommentsThere is only one thing that lets Pixmania down and that is their convoluted checkout process that adds VPix into your shopping basket and it is not obvious how to remove. I was also completely unable to find how to enter my Vpix number that I already have into the order. So I gave up in the end. I probably missed out on VPix benefits as a result - but I was infuriated by the clumsy web interface.

CommentsApalling lack of system knowledge by phone operators and referral to wrong parts of organisation and then to be told only after 5 working days are the products ready to be taken for delivery is not acceptable in this day and age:(

CommentsPixmania sent me the wrong item. I emailed them to inform them and request that they send the correct item but to date I have had an email informing me about the returns procedure with a returns label enclosed but it is not clear whether they are sending me the correct item.
Unimpressed so far but hoping that they can manage to send me the correct item eventually. I would have bought it in the shops if I had known the service was going to be so poor.

We aplogies for the inconvenience regarding your order. If a product is received faulty a pick up can be arranged without any extra cost. As soon as this item has been received the correct product will definitely be sent out.

 Retailer's comment

Thank you for your review. We apologise for the problems you have experienced when placing an order with us. The security check made by our validation team is to ensure that it is the card bearer that is making use of the credit card. If the billing address is different from the delivery address we will always request for more proof to be able to link the customer to the delivery address, again this is to ensure that this is not a fraudulent person using the card but the card bearer. When transferring back money to a customer this is done via bibit and takes 3-4 working days. Please contact our customer service on 08700-118117 and we will go through your case with you.
