GBPoor customer service Good selection of well priced kit, however very poor customer service. I bought a watch from the shop a week ago and tried to return in as it didn't do the function that I required it to do. There was also some confusion over whether or not there was a battery in it - I thought there wasn't one, but they assured me that there was. However, when I tried to return it the staff in the shop were very defensive, accusing and plain rude, looking for reasons not to refund me the money. In this interaction I was also wanting to buy £35 work of kit as well. First they said that it was working when they sold it. This was not the case. I took it home, tried to make it work but it didn't, so I checked to see if there was a battery in it, apparently there was, though I couldn't seem to find it (?!?!). I was told that it was working 'fine' when it was sold. They then accused me of; taking the protective film off (it was still on), using it (I never wore it), breaking it (it never worked in the first place) marking the screen (a tiny mark that was there when I bought it) and of calling them liars and being aggressive. I was told the battery in it only worked when you removed a sticker from the back of it. Though I wasn't convinced by this information (the staff told me that the buttons worked when they gave it to me, but unless they removed the back of the watch, took off the sticker, put the back case on again, tested the buttons, removed the case, put the sticker back on battery and finally replaced the case, this was not true. Despite my reservations, I duly appologised for the misunderstanding. However, the staff at Lomo failed to back down from the attack and persisted to offensive. Throughout this interaction, it was me that was doing the reasoning and the negotiation, while they were rude and accusing. Furthermore, when I was spoken to, they failed to make eye contact, as if they were trying to cover up their incompetence and embarrassment. All I wanted was to exchange the watch because it did not do the function I thought it did. I have never been treated like this and I don't expect to be. Disappointing.

GBDon't expect a refund on any shipping or This is my second review and having had to pay £5 to return a wetsuit through no fault of my own they also do not refund any of the original shipping costs so all in all for one item expect to pay around £11 if it's not right. I'd never use this company again. Stick to Ann's cottage or Amazon where returns and refunds are simple and fair. Please move with the times Lomo.

CHParcel lost, no refund My order has never arrived and I’ve been trying to track my parcel since more than a month. Sent several request to Lomo customer service. Just got superficial answer, something like “we will check with the transporter”. I asked Lomo to pay my money back. But no answer. This online merchant is online customer’s worst nightmare, especially if you order from outside of the UK.

GBSmall neoprene sheet purchase Purchased some small 2mm and 3 mm sheets for repairing a wetsuit. Received 2 x pieces of 4mm!! I contacted them but received no response. I do not think I will be using these guys again.

GBkit size are very very very tight Just bought Lomo deck and needed to return because Lomo deck was too small. The size is too tight for the measurements they give so they charged me for postage twice and I had to pay the return postage. I would have done better to buy a better deck, it would have worked out cheaper. Not very tough quality either as its already chaffing after two trips out. If this is the sizing then I wouldnt rely on their other kit. I wont be going back to them for more kit that's for sure. Highly unrecommended. LOMO dont buy. Dont buy LOMO.
