Account closed with no clear explanation, no refund, then support went quiet*
Took out a one year plan with MXroute for multiple inboxes. Within a week the account was terminated for an alleged Terms of Service breach, but no specifics were given despite asking directly. Support said the issue had been notified beforehand, but the closure came the day after, over a weekend, while I was on holiday and unable to respond. Asked for a refund given the account had barely been used. Refused outright, citing the ToS breach as justification, still with no detail on what the breach actually was. Communication then stopped entirely on their side, and wasn't allowed access to the account I was paying for, so there was no way to resolve this directly. Now going through the bank to dispute the charge. If you're weighing this up against other providers, worth knowing that a cancelled account can mean losing the money with no real explanation and no route to challenge it. PS You'll see he responds to all negative reviews the same way, by all accounts he is never wrong. It's the MX Route customer that's always in the wrong! Funny that.

I genuinely do not know what it is about TrustPilot that makes people believe the truth won't outlive their review. Certainly, I cannot be blamed for the fact that so many reviews are filled with lies, omissions, or intentional policy violations. One only needs to ask for the receipts to any review I've disputed, I keep them all. This one is no exception, I have more than enough data to inform your bank of the fraudulent claim you are about to make, and I'll still have it 16 years from now. Before this customer could place a single order, he had to read and click "Yes, I Agree" to this: "Email warmup services are a violation of our policies. They do not only do what they sell themselves to do, they torture our heavily curated IP reputation to draw heavy associations between our customers and blatant spammers. Do you agree not to use warmup services with our platform?" He agreed. Then he connected his account to a cold email (spam by any reasonable definition) platform and started warming up. On July 11th he received this: "The mentioned email or domain has been blocked from sending mail… Connecting your email account to a cold email platform where it's about to start using 'warmup' is a violation of our policies." That is the "no explanation" he claims he never got, delivered alongside the logs he dismisses as "just code I don't understand." The code is a record of his own account misbehaving. Reading it was optional. So were the consequences of not reading it. Now here's the part he carefully left out of his review: he didn't stop. On July 12th, the day after the warning, he stood up more accounts on additional domains and kept the warmup running. So the account was terminated, exactly as the Terms he agreed to say it will be. His defense is that this all happened "over a weekend" while he was on holiday, as if IP reputation clocks out on Saturday. He wasn't too on-holiday to spend that same weekend spinning up fresh connections to a cold email (spam) platform to continue the exact violation we'd just warned him about. You don't get to be too on-holiday to read our emails but not too on-holiday to spend your Saturday fucking us over on new domains. We didn't force this customer to violate policy over the weekend, choices were made. No notice? He was notified. No explanation? He was given logs and a written reason. No refund? Correct. We do not refund contracts cancelled for a Terms violation the customer agreed to avoid, was warned about, and then doubled down on. None of that is hidden. It's in the ToS he clicked to accept. You can lead an illiterate man to text, but you cannot make him read it. The light at the end of the tunnel here is that James Fenner (the name publicly visible on this review at the time of this reply) has signed his name to his lack of integrity for everyone to see, for years to come. Hopefully, anyone looking to do business with him will find this in a Google search later.
