Disappointment from a Supporter
I'm truly frustrated that I have to write this as I've bought multiple backpacks from Wandrd on different occasions in the last couple of years. I love their gear, but unfortunately, it seems as if their customer service isn't what it used to be. It's important to note that I truly do not blame them for the additional export fees that I had to pay in cash upon delivery, but this is due to Brexit. However, I do feel as if I was massively misled. Perhaps this was unintentionally, but at the same time, they have not done anything to rectify the situation after I've taken the time to explain their miscommunication in the hope that it would avoid the same agro with others. If you are purchasing an item from the United Kingdom, the delivery price had brackets alongside saying 'Because of Brexit, the UK Government will now charge import taxes upon delivery'. The brackets make it seem as if the extra UPS charge during checkout is for that very reason (it's for import taxes that you might otherwise have received during delivery). Therefore, I was shocked when the delivery driver demanded that I pay him a high fee immediately for import taxes in cash or over the phone. He said most companies cover the costs, but Wandrd does not. Whether they do or don't (that's a separate issue), but their checkout process is very misleading. They have lost a long-time customer in me for this reason. It is with much regret, that I will not be shopping there again.
