Wrong address, extra costs

I ordered something and in my opinion I filled in my right address but when I got the confirmation in the mail I saw my old address, apparently they took my address from my account. So I never got the package and it's been send back, now they resend it with new shipping fees. Its not a customer friendly company, so never again!

Good Day Ricardo, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced. Upon reviewing your account, we noticed that you had two previous orders from 2021. When you placed your recent order in March 2025, the system automatically populated your old address from your account. We understand how frustrating this situation must have been, and we truly regret that the correct shipping address was not updated automatically. In such cases, the shipping address must be manually entered or updated before placing a new order, especially if there has been a significant time gap between orders. We apologize if this process was not clear, and we understand how this oversight led to the issues with delivery. To resolve this, we are reshipping your order at no additional cost to you. We have also personally updated your account to ensure the correct address is now saved for any future orders. We have reviewed all communication, including emails and chats, and we want to assure you that we did everything possible to assist you in a respectful manner given the circumstances. Unfortunately, once an order has been fulfilled and shipped, there are limited actions we can take, but we remain committed to providing you with the best service moving forward. Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your patience. If you have any further concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly. Kind regards,

Great post sale experience

I have acquired a quite expensive product from them. Unfortunately I had an issue and had to ask for a replacement under warranty. The resolution process has been fast and smooth, and in less than a week I had my product fully working again.

They cared about my problem.

What was great was that there was genuine concern over the broken part within my gripper kit. That kit is very important to me but represents such a minute sale to the Robotshop. I was fully ready for them to ignore my problems regarding such a small purchase, but they did exactly the opposite.

I ordered a robot for my son for christmas and it has not arrived. I ordered it three weeks ago. it shows “ready for shipment” but i send them emails and have not received an answer as to when i will receive my product.

Never again buying from them!!!! no information at all and no response from customer service. give me my £140 back then

I ordered an item in mid November which was the shown as being received by the shipper a few days later. As of today, (6th December) I have neither the item nor any indication when or even if it will be delivered. Although the customer service team respond to my emails they cannot get any response to the courier company either. I have suggested that they might want to use a different courier but in The meantime have reluctantly requested a refund as there seems to be no sign that I will ever receive my package. As there are other people who can supply what I wanted, I shall be going elsewhere in the future unless the issue is resolved. I am not holding my breath.

they are illegally charging shipping…

I asked to cancel the order 16 hours after ordering it and they said it was already being shipped which is obviously impossible, they just created a label. They said it's impossible to cancel anymore. They are illegally charging shipping fee if you cancel the order after it was shipped. Lost 70 euros for a canceled order that I refused to accept upon delivery. Avoid!

Good Day Povilas, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and deception you’ve experienced regarding the shipping and cancellation of your order. We understand how important clarity and transparency are, and we are deeply sorry for any confusion caused in this process. To provide some context, your order was placed on 2024-10-24 at 10:30:41 and was physically scanned and shipped from our Netherlands warehouse on 2024-10-25 at 03:21:52. While we strive to respond to customer communications promptly, our European customer support hours are Monday to Friday from 15:00 to 21:00 CET. Unfortunately, your email requesting a cancellation was received after your package had already been shipped. As a worldwide online distributor, we strictly adhere to local regulations, including respecting the 14-day cooling-off period outlined by EU law. While we do our utmost to make our policies clear, we understand that differences in regional rules can sometimes lead to confusion. Our specific terms and conditions, including return policies, are outlined on our website: https://eu.robotshop.com/policies/terms-of-service#Returns. We would also like to assure you that we do not charge for shipping in a manner that violates applicable laws. Our fees are structured to be as transparent and fair as possible. That said, we value your feedback and are committed to ensuring your satisfaction. Our Customer Satisfaction Team will be reaching out to you shortly to review this matter further and work toward a resolution that meets your expectations. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding and look forward to resolving this matter for you. Best regards,

expected arrival dates are meaningless

Thought I found a company that actually had a local presence so would make ordering a US made item straightforward, but after signing up for instock notifications I heard nothing for a month and a half. I contacted support to ask about this and was told that I should make the order instead and that would initiate the ordering process from the manufacturer. The expected arrival date keeps on slipping and no updates are communicated. Then to top it off I am sent a ridiculous "offer" for a warranty that costs 10x the cost of the actual item when the terms explicitly state that my email would not be shared with 3rd parties. At what point do I just apply for a chargeback with my bank and turn to ebay...

Can't live without my Litter Robot 4

With 4 cats Litter clean up is now a breeze since we acquired the Litter Robot 4 from robotshop. I did have a lot of questions on it as it is an investment but they happily and quickly answered them all. Now the only thing I have to remember to do is to empty the waste drawer which the app reminds you to do as well as when to refill with more litter and who has used the litter box last. I really can't live without it now, so much so, that I'm buying a second unit to have at our 2nd home. I bought with a 4 year warranty (2 year manufacture and 2 year extended) for peace of mind and it’s worth it to me

*WARNING DO NOT BUY FROM ROBOTSHOP*

Hello, just got my Emlid survey pole £294 and they sent me a damaged box both seals open and have the cheek to send me a used one! It’s got marks chips on metal and cracks on fasteners and mud on point what the hell of a company sends out used damaged stock as marked as new?, I will be going to social media and showing what crap you send out by conning customers in thinking they get new gear, I will be contacting EMLID direct as well showing that your company is giving them a bad name! I needed this for a archaeological job not impressed at all!

Item never delivered

Item never delivered. Poor customer service who don’t care or show any sign of investigating the issue. Based abroad, no care taken with any customers. Avoid without doubt.

Sent my litter robot for repair

Sent my litter robot for repair, cost me 60 pounds, they didn’t pay custom fees which I would have happily sent them the money for if I was asked, instead they ignored it and subsequently my parcel got sent back to me So 60 pounds down the drain and no fixed litter robot Dont bother paying for their faulty machines.

Refused exchange.

I ordered an incorrect part and realised my mistake when the package arrived. I asked Robotshop for an exchange for the correct part but they refused as the item was "a clearance item" and exchanges are refused unless faulty. So they are happy to keep the money and get rid of their old stock even if a customer makes a genuine mistake! I would happily pay more for the correct part if required and cover postage as I realise the mistake was mine but this is not good customer service in my book. I recommend avoiding purchasing from them.

Reply from RobotShop2024-03-19

Dear GS, We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the error in your order. Regrettably, our policy regarding clearance items limits exchanges unless the item is found to be faulty. We truly regret any deception this may cause and greatly appreciate your understanding. Warm regards, The RobotShop Team

Got a faulty machine - no solution

I've been in contact with customer service for nearly a month now regarding my purchase of a Robot 3 litter box. Unfortunately, from the very first day, it hasn't functioned properly. Despite diligently following all of their instructions, including submitting multiple videos, disassembling the unit, and providing numerous photos, the issue remains unresolved. At this juncture, I feel utterly frustrated and disappointed. It's disheartening to have entrusted them to find a solution, only to feel like my time has been wasted. It's evident that the machine is faulty. I urge you to acknowledge this and promptly provide a replacement. Answer to RobotShop: I send you an email yesterday. Check request number (T965603).

Pay with creditcard, at least you get all your money back!

Ordering from robotshop? Please make sure to pay with creditcard. If anything goes wrong, at least you can get all your money back! We found out the hard way. Via a RobotShop site, which looked like it was managed from The Netherlands, we ordered a specific component. It was shipped but never delivered because of missing data on the shipping label. DHL confirmed to us that Robotshop uses noncommercial shipping labels for some reason, which allows for all sorts of errors. We regularly order electronic components from Chinese or German suppliers. Sometimes things go wrong, but glitches are always solved professionally and without headaches. Dealing with RobotShop customer service, however, means dealing: -With the famous american corporate haggle, -With overseas staff, -Via machine translated messages, -Who are completely oblivious to the localities.
