Prices

I know airport prices are rather artificial for a variety of reasons but I don't expect to find I've paid 20% more than the common high street pricing for a product (earbuds in this case). Rip off doesn't start to describe my thoughts....

Do NOT buy!!

I purchased a scooter for $1K and 200 miles later the scooter will not turn on. I have done everything to solve this problem but to no avail. I begged Inmotion to replace the scooter but they said they could not help me.

Polite and efficient customer service

It took a while for customer service to respond to my email but once they did the service was polite and correct. I bought a product in Copenhagen airport but it turns out that customer service is located in the UK. Today I got a call from customer service who politely helped me with a refund. The money is already in my account

Great Service

I complained about an issue with a new product, and the InMotion team has quickly addressed it, arranged to collect the product and issued a refund.

EVERYONE Be warned scam company

EVERYONE Be warned, this company is a scam, having sold the item and never signed up for renewal of £120 per annum, they continue to take, read below what your getting into by the joke of a company.

Thank you for your clarification.

Please allow me to remind you that you hold an annual membership, which does not permit you to sell the In&box.

In this context, I kindly request that you select one of the following two options to terminate your membership:

Retrieve the In&box and return it to us,
Or pay a security deposit of 100£GB.

I look forward to your response.

Hi, Sorry to hear you are having issues with a membership you have. However, this is not the same company as we are InMotion, who have stores at Airports locations that sell Headphones, Ipads and
Laptop etc and we do not any memberships. If I could please ask if you could please amend the review, thanks Claire

Management could care less about hourly employees and our HR manager is useless. He's friends with and a protege of, our Operations Manager who seems to detest us. Not an ideal situation

Hi Micheal,
Sorry to hear this. I understand you may be reluctant to contact HR, but you can do so via email at StoresandPostofficeHR@whsmith.co.uk. There are also confidential options available through the MyWHSmith app.
If HR aren’t made aware, unfortunately there’s unlikely to be any change. Kind regards Claire

Never again

Never again, I've bought a few things from In Motion over the years, but I've never had to return anything, until now. I bought a watch for my partner, the guy that sold it to me said I can return it to WHSmiths with no problems. I went to smiths and they had no idea what I was talking about. Sent an email and because my wife looked at the watch, they will not accept it back, I've lost £250 they cost £50 less everywhere else I've looked, but I needed a last minute present for Christmas. Never again, I advise anyone to stear clear of this shop in Heatrow and anywhere else they might be, I feel like I've just been scammed.

Customer service

Bought earbuds in the airport that sadly started malfunctioning. With no stores I could go to I contacted their support team.

Quick to respond and no quibbles. Thanks to the team there - gives me confidence to buy again
