As per the majority of these comments, I naively made a purchase. LMO keep on bombarding me with sales calls and mailing more products that I have not requested! I’ve returned two products using Royal Mail next day guaranteed tracking service to ensure the products were returned to the appropriate destination. A week later I receive an invoice demanding payment and with the threat of a £10 fine on top! Avoid like the plague! Does anyone have any helpful suggestions on how to stop this company sending me any communications? I have sent several emails to their customer care team requesting my information be deleted. They’ve replied according to GDPR it will take 30 days before they will reach a decision.

In May i paid a £395 a first payment for Falkland Islands comemerative coin's. Having eventually after asking for return labels had them emailed to me and returned the coins. According to my account they received the coins on the 7 th June. After having returned from holiday i managed to talk to someone who said it would take a month to get my £395 back. Early July i noticed i had credit of £395 in my account. So i thought any day now the money would appear back in my account no chance. I managed to talk to them again they seemed surprised that i wanted the money refunded to my Bank ! Which i requested. Three weeks later i no longer have any credit nor money. And of course i can not talk to anyone.

Myself, my son and my mum all ordered a jubilee coin, as seen on TV, at the end of May. To date, we have not received this. I emailed them and the reply was they are inundated by with orders. The promise was in this was to be dispatched on 28 days. It is now 13th July and nothing. Is this a scam? I know it's only £2.50 each, but how many thousands of people have paid up and not received the goods

Thank you so much, Linda, for taking the time to review The London Mint Office. I apologize for the inconvenience and delay you have encountered with your order. It's unacceptable that yourself, your son, and your mum have not received your Jubilee coin after placing the order in May. In addition, it's also alarming that your email was responded to with an answer that they are inundated with orders. I understand your frustration in this situation, and we want to make sure that moving forward, this kind of problem is avoided. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can do to make things right. We value you as a customer and your satisfaction with our service is important to us. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

2/2 OK this gets much worse; Having read previous reviews I went to check if any further charges had been taken, and to my horror, 10 days later a sum of almost £18 was taken for a 2nd order I did not even make! I had to phone the company LMO who tried to tell me I had made a 2nd order for this “gold layered” Elvis coin, yet this wasn’t my doing - having asked my grandmother, she confirmed she never received a 2nd coin. I have had to cancel the card I used to make the first and only transaction to stop them taking any more sums of money without my prior authorisation. My grandmother and I were, you could say, a bit naive, probably, to the fact that the minute you bought the £2.50 p&p / free Elvis coin you automatically signed up to receive the whole collection. However, neither she nor myself saw any small print or extra information regarding additional charges. It’s a bit naughty of LMO, people need to know what they’re really buying and paying out for!

I purchased TWO Elvis Presley coins; one for my mum one for my vulnerable 90 yr old grandmother. I only ordered the 1st two I would pay 2.50 p&p for they did not want full sets. I have had to block several phone calls from London Mint Office since. Harassment to force you to buy more and spend tens of thousands on coins

I ordered a coin for my mum as a present it never turned up and when I enquired about it they refused to talk to me, as they said because it was in my mom‘s name they could only talk to her. Regardless of how many times I told them it was me that ordered it, made it paid for it they still refused to talk to me. Appalling customer service more never use them again.

I've received a letter stating I owe 17.50p today, I only requested 3 2.50pence coins that were paid for, I will not be bullied into paying what I don't owe, and do not wish to receive anymore phone calls asking me to purchase anymore, clearly a con! Is arrassment and will take the matter further against you if it happens again.

I purchure the strength and stay set bought out plus a silver half crown set. I paid over the phone a first installment then when I got the bill I paid the remaining owing,plus a first payment for the silver coin. On receiving the coin I also received a bill for the outstanding amount but paid by check the last two payment which has cleared from my account. I have now received a letter telling me I owe £23.31 for a paying not paid. After many calls I finale got through to a man who looked at it told me customer services would contact me in 48 hrs never did. I've received another letter i contacted the office again after waiting on the phone for around 30mins they answered explained all again I was rather irate by now I was told he would escullate to customer service they would be in touch still waiting. Its an horrendous service they keep billing you saying you haven't paid then have the nerve to keep adding £10 to your bill my bill that I have already paid has excullated to 43.64. You cannot get through at all to customer service they never answer. I will never by from them again. So avoid this company.

Avoid these people and company and save your money. My mother bought the Elvis Presley coin set, not including the £400+ coin. Set was £149.99 and agreed to pay in 3 instalments. She made first payment via the phone and lady told her next one could be done via my mothers online account which she did on the second payment, both showing on her bank statement and internet banking. 3rd and last is due 15th of this month but this week she got a letter saying she hasn’t made no payments at all which is 100% a lie! Plus we have proof they were paid. She called LMO this afternoon to be given “oh the accounts department probably haven’t updated your account” then proceeds to ask if we had proof she paid. Are they seriously accusing her of lying? He said he would email accounts to update her account but I’m not holding my breath and she’s expecting another threatening letter demanding money they already have! If all fails, will be reporting them to ombudsman and trading standards.

I have been trying to return a coin which I did not order for the last 2 months. They said that a return label was on its way. I am still waiting for a return label. In the meantime they are charging me for delayed payments. I will be seeking legal advice on this.

Thought I was getting a free coin and had ti pay 2.50 for postage. When the transaction went through found out I was charged gor a princess Diana coin that I dis not request. I cancelled the card transaction. A couple of weeks later they sent me the coin on approval. I gave tried to contact them via phone and email but have been unable to contact them for a return prepaid envelope. I have stated that I was misled in the email yo them but they still have not replied. They should be pulled up on this but just seem to continue conning people.

The London Mint Office has been conning my grandmother for years selling her worthless commemorative coins. She is a 93 year old vulnerable lady and they just will not leave her alone. Aggressive sales tactics and allowing her to build up tens of thousands of pounds of debt are amongst some of her negative experiences. DO NOT BUY FROM THE LMO!!

Absolutely rubbish company. Ordered 1 for my daughters collection, received 2 which I did not order, they said I did. Paid for 1 then got emails demanding second payment I wanted to return, 'return at my expense!' in the end I'v paid for it less hassle. Note.. this happened in a previous order, again I paid for 2 when I ordered 1. Not only that I was repeatedly asked for a payment after I paid for both. It took me numerous emails to get them to eventually reply stating yes I had paid. I would avoid at a cost. I won't be using again.

I had to chase up a collection after 3 months of having paid in full. It appeared that they'd got the money, but no order. Eventually received after difficulty trying to contact them. I'm now chasing again for a friend who'd ordered a coin (Elvis gold plated) using the phone number on the full page advert from the Sun. He's never received the coin but has a threatening invoice for the outstanding amount, also informing of extra£10 charges if they contact him again. I used the freephone number and was cut off as I didn't want to leave the name and number of my friend. I tried the account payment line number, left my name and number but got no reply. Email got an automated reply and after 6 working days (10 days after sending) still nothing. I've left yet another message giving 2 different contact numbers and stating that they've got my email address. Totally fed up, disillusioned and don't recommend them. I won't be having any further contact once this situation is resolved
