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....
Avoid buying InMotion Wall Plugs
Bought a pink wall plug for my iPhone in Terminal 3 and one prong broke within a week. They refused to give me a refund....
AVOID, AVOID, AVOID
Sex toys on prominent display - PARENTS BEWARE
A range of glossy sex toys displayed prominently, next to iPhones and air buds…seriously!? This is a family store. Very awkward walking around with my 13-yr old daughter. Seriously inappropriate.
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.

InMotion Refund Experience
Responding to emails quite quickly, refund was given in full after jumping through there hoops.
Many thanks to Sarah for her help throughout the refund process.
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

I wasn't sure if I could get a refund on the camera I bought at Gatwick but every person I communicated with at Inmotion was helpful, attentive and patient. Excellent customer service
The whole team was very helpful
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.

I have been trying to email you guys multiple times regarding my Return, and i have not heard anything. It’s been almost a month. Terrible customer service. You guys should really have a phone number.

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

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
