“Good service, product as expected”

Moira C.
7/13/20

I ordered this set of DVDs after seeing the advertisement on TV about a fortnight ago, but didn't look at the reviews until after I had placed the order, and was dismayed to read that several people were very dissatisfied. I also noticed (too late!) that the website had a padlock crossed out at the top, indicating that it wasn't secure. (Why is this, BNL Media? It must put people off.) In view of all this, I was very concerned that I wouldn't get my DVDs, and dreaded having to chase the order or a refund. I needn't have worried - the DVDs were delivered this morning, 10 days after being ordered, and appear to be in good condition, although of course I haven't had time to listen to them all yet. I am therefore writing this review to reassure others who might be deterred by the bad reviews.

“Rubbish customer services”

Judith K.

I have been trying to get a refund for an elderly friend who in October, bought a razor that didn't work properly. She returned it and the package was signed for by someone at the company but despite making phone calls hasn't had a refund. I've contacted the company through their website and received a confirmation email and promise that they would contact me. This was back in December. I emailed them again over a week ago and still no response. Looking at other reviews this looks like the usual response to returns. I would love to get my friend a refund, as she can't afford to make such a monetary loss.

I ordered a micro razor paid for special delivery(3-5 days). 7 days later I am still waiting for the razor, some rude woman in customer services tries to fob you off so that's a waste of time calling them and too top it all they try and con you into joining some voucher club at £12.99 a month. I am going to take them to court for whole amount plus other losses I have incurred. Stay clear of this company.

I ordered a micro razor for my partners birthday in January. It did not work so I paid at the post office to return it. I repeatedly contacted them asking for my refund, emailed proof of return and cost. I have never had a single reply from this cowboy company and still have not received a refund. It's alot of money to get conned out of.

Verified purchase

I recently purchased two box sets from BNL Media after seeing their TV Advert. The purchasing process was simple.
I had to enquire as to when I might see the goods as delivery was a little longer than one would expect and there was no automatic notification. To be fair to BNL they responded quickly & the box sets duly arrived.

To put my comments in context I have a Music Server where I can play different music in each room of my house and outside. So, I simply RIP all my CD's on to the server.

One set – Memory Lane was as you would expect perfect.
The second set "The Original Rock'n'Roll Jukebox" not so.
The first thing I noticed was the packaging looked as though it was second hand. I. e. The corners of the boxes were damaged.
The second and more worrying thing was that I could not RIP some of the CDs into a useful library format i. E. No Track or Artist Name etc. All I got was Track 1, 2, 3 etc. Not much use to me.

I sent an enquiry to the BNL help line and am still waiting for an acknowledgement.

Tip for consumers:
Be cautious, then should be OK

Have ordered a range of products from this company over the years and have never been disappointed. Great practical and innovative products, fairly priced in my opinion and excellent customer service. I feel I can always buy with confidence and I won't be disappointed when my purchase arrives. Highly recommend.

Still waiting for the goods I did not order, so that I can send the goods back and get a refund. Sent numerous emails (no replies). Called on the telephone, customer service lady very rude. Said that I did order the goods.
Stay away from this company. It has been three weeks, still no goods.
My husband had previous dealings with them with a similar experience. However, I didn't know.

Have shopped with them 3 times now. Always nervous when I buy from the TV so I always choose BNL as have been great since the very first time I bought from them. Great range of products - would definitely recommend.

I'm stupid enough to buy stuff from tv ads.
For my hubby's birthday i bought him the microforce and what a rip off! Received a damaged product, managed to get it changed 3 months later after god knows how many phone calls with their customer people and to make matter worse they gave my details to some discount club that i got charges 100 pounds for. They're crooks, stay away from them

I bought a memory lane CD for my parents for Christmas. They absolutely loved it and it was very prompt delivery as I paid for the express delivery
