Ordered a disc lock from this company paid a delivery fee then get a message from ups asking for another £43. I feel like I have been conned. I will never use this company again and wouldn’t recommend it to anybody.

Hi John,
We are sorry to read that you have had a negative experience and that there appears to be confusion regarding our location and the additional costs involved.
CROP is based in the Netherlands and ships orders from within the European Union. For deliveries to the United Kingdom, import charges may apply. These charges are not determined or collected by us, but by the local customs authorities and the carrier, in this case UPS.
This information is clearly communicated during the checkout process, where customers are required to actively confirm that they are aware of potential import costs before completing their order.
Prices may also be displayed in British pounds to make the ordering process more convenient for UK customers. However, this does not change the fact that shipments are sent from the European Union.
We regret that this has led to any misunderstanding and that your experience has therefore been disappointing.
Step mother switched from Virgin to ee. They gave a date weeks later. Then kept moving dates ended up being months. I am in the process of moving from bt to ee engineer booked for tomorrow. Just had phone call telling me it’s cancelled till a later date. Operator apologised telling me they have booked a bt install instead of ee. I thought its all same company as its open reach that does the install. Booked a day off work as well.

Hi John,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you letting us know.
horrible company to deal with. this is the 2nd holiday I have booked with them and both times after paying deposit they have wanted more money. Gregor initially seemed ok. but when I asked him why I had to pay more he just passed me on to someone else who struggled with the English language.
