BAD Service. Lost goods plus import taxes
I've had a terrible experience with RockMerch in the past two months whereas it was previously reliable and good value. Half the goods didn't arrive. Track n trace says things were delivered but weren't. Some T-shirts were not what I ordered. Response from the firm (after several attempts to get one) was just a repeat of the unhelpful ignorance described in other reviews. The tracking system used needs rectifying and the correct T-shirts need to be packed in the first place. The T-shirts ordered that did actually arrive were all sent in separate parcels and each then needed EU import tax paying for the entire order as they were sent into the EU from the US or UK with the value of all items rather than just the one contained in the packet on display for customs. The import tax was consequently higher than the t-shirts cost. So far I've paid €75 in tax for a €50 order and not everything has arrived yet so I can expect to pay more if the order is ever delivered. There should be a warning about this additional cost on the website. The whole order could've been sent in one parcel then I would not have needed to pay taxes on each part of the order. The Customs use the value displayed by the firm on the packet. I'll not use this company again because of this and I know other UK based firms are losing more customers here in the EU because of this Brexit boost.

Hi Mike, We appreciate the time you took and the thoroughness of your review! In regard to your points: Can you please email us at [email protected] and copy [email protected] and let us know more info about the specific issues faced in paying import taxes for the entire order vs. just the items as they ship. We will need to address this in our shipping documents so this does not continue going forward. Overall, since your experience was not acceptable, we will refund the entire cost of your order as well. We look forward to hearing from you, continuing the dialogue, and making things right. Best regards, Steve Newman, CEO RockMerch
