Ordered 2 fans from Vodafone offer which is through AOD, received one only and various emails sent to say it’s being sorted etc. This has been going on for days , I’m £350 light and still no fan with the hot weather coming again. Never use AOD again on Vodafone offers , awful service
Update;After Justin replied to this matter was sorted out in a day and now received fan. I wish all businesses had someone as conscientious as him in their business. 5* for Justin and still 2* for suppliers of AOD. Many thanks Justin !

HI Dave,

I'm really sorry to see that this still has not been fixed.

I have picked this up personally and will do everything in my power to get sorted tomorrow.

Kind Regards

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the update I'm glad we managed to get this sorted for you and you now have both of the fans you ordered.

When you are shiping high volumes of orders, it is inevitable the things will go wrong sometimes . We are always listening though and will ALWAYS make sure we get things put right. I've redeemed enough so if you see one of offers again for something that you need you will have the confidence to go for it. Let me know if you do and I'll make the deal even sweeter for you, and make sure the whole experience is 5 star.

All the best

Justin

No estimated delivery time or tracking number. I have no idea when the product might be coming so that I can ensure I am here for delivery.

Hi Orliath,

Huge apologies here. Your order should have been delivered next day, but I'm afraid it didn't dispatch as Apple's distributor is struggling with shipments to Northern Ireland due to issues with the Windsor framework at the moment. My team will be in touch very shortly to confirm your order has been refunded.

I'm so sorry about this, we are working to unblock this as soon as possible.

Kind Regards
Justin

Avoid! Poor experience

Ordered product, product arrived and did not work. They try their best to make it difficult to return faulty goods. They do not respect distance selling regulations. Product is faulty. I just want a refund, but they cloud the process in unlikelihood of receiving refund if product is not deemed faulty or if it's not repackaged correctly. They pass the buck and don't accept responsibility. Their email states if faulty contact manufacturer, but why would I want to do that when I want a refund and have no confidence in the product!

Hi Natalie,

Thanks for shopping with us, and thanks for the review. I'm sorry to hear that things have gone wrong with the product and your experience when using the returns process.

To clarify, we absolutely do respect distance selling regulations and of course if a product arrives faulty or develops a fault inside 30 days of receipt we will always take it back and offer an exchange or refund.

I'm going to have a look at the communications on your request to see where you lost confidence in the process and will be in touch to put this right for you.

Kind Regards
Justin

Update -

Hi Natalie, We have looked for any communications between you and our customer service team - we cannot find anything under your order number or your email address. We do have your returns request from 11pm last night though and will issue the returns label shortly. We will take care of the cost of the return and we will of course refund you as soon as the goods arrive back with us.


Update:
Returns label issued 7/7, please let us know once you have posted the faulty product and we will get your refund processed.

Update 13/7 - unit was posted on Saturday and and your refund was processed today.

Thanks again for shopping with us, and sorry that the product let us down as well as the speed of the uplift.

All the best
Justin

Placed an order on June 26th for some Ray-ban sunglasses. Webpage states "free delivery 2-3 business days". Now, 4 working days later (6 days later including the weekend) I'm yet to receive even dispatch details. Received an email form AOD saying once dispatch date is known delivery is then typically "3-5" days. Misleading offer, very unhappy.
UPDATE: in fairness I have since received a phonecall from AOD, they were very helpful & resolved the issue aswel as issuing a partial refund as an apology.

Hi Colin,

Thanks for shopping with us and thanks for the review. This delivery time is below our standards and I will be in touch later today to put this right for you. RayBan have had some delays but I have been working behind the scenes to make sure that we resolve this as quickly as possible.

Kind Regards
Justin

Update: Nice talking earlier. Your order will ship out today/tomorrow when the Rayban stock arrives with their distributor.

Massive apologies again for the delay and poor comms. My fault entirely for not managing to get an updated delivery date to our customer service team. I have also updated them on delivery speeds as everything ships out on a next day service. If your order makes it out today we will be one day late on our promise of 2-3 business days.

All the best,
Justin

AND now the order has shipped! it should be with you tomorrow. Hopefully we can win a star back ;)

Wonderful experience from start to finish of transaction. I couldn’t buy product from anywhere else because fans were impossible to source during the heatwave. Discovered that I could purchase one through my Lloyds Rewards which directed me to Activate OnDemand. Order process was simple, communication brilliant and delivery superb. I would recommend this organisation and will certainly use them again.

Excellent servixe

I ordered two fans on AOD. One was promptly delivered. At the time there was no indication of when the second would be delivered. I sent a message and received an almost instantaneous response offering help. The second fan was then delivered the next day. Whilst communication around delivery could have been better customer service was courteous and prompt

Absolutely amazing service

Absolutely amazing service. Very helpful and understanding in helping me sort out the issue I had and more than happy to do all they could to help sort the issue out. Yes I didn’t get my free gift that came with my new bbq, but I did get a refund equivalent to the value of the pizza oven. Thank you for your time a patience.

I had an issue regarding a purchase I had made involving 3 parties (purchased an Oura ring via blue light from AOD) and the experience with BL and Oura was disgusting. AOD Were very prompt, transparent and understanding. They resolved the issue for me and kept me in the loop step by step. Thankyou.

Feel like they are a scam, I ordered a parcel it has been delivered to an incorrect address and stated I signed for it but incorrectly spelt my name.

Hi Miss Read,

I'm so sorry to hear you are having these issues. I'm going to look into this and accelerate it for you. I'll give you a call later on once I've investigated.

Kind Regards
Justin

Hi again,

Just tried to call but no answer.

Have investigated this and looks like DPD definitely let us down here.

I can see that your refund for the missing package was processed on Friday once we managed to get DPD to sort their system out.

Appreciate this was a little frustrating but we could only go as fast as DPD to get to the bottom of the problem.

Please accept my apologies for this less than satisfactory experience.

Kind Regards
Justin

late communication but finally good reactivity

I placed the order on 01/05 but then I have tried cancelling the order on tuesday, I have emailed the team several times, I still have not received any email from them...

on the 03/06/2026, I have now refused the delivery to be sent back to company.
Justin called me and said I did the right thing by refusing the delivery, and then initiated the refund.
on the05/06/2026 i got the refund.
Many thanks Justin and team

Ordering on line

Excellent service from Activate on Demand. Encountering a problem whilst authorising payment on my banking app I later noticed that I had erroneously placed my order twice. I emailed AoD to ask if they could please cancel one of items. However, being efficient both orders were already in the pipeline. They advised on what action could be taken upon delivery and I decided on the easy option - refuse delivery so that the courier DPD, in this instance, could start the process of returning the item to AoD. Goods ordered on Wednesday. Delivery was the following day and the very next day the returned item was back with AoD plus refund paid into my bank account. Super efficient service from both Activate on Demand and DPD and can highly recommend them.

No refund after return

Ordered an Oura Ring, received it, then decided to return it within the approved return period. The return was accepted, and I sent it back using the courier THEY instructed me to use.

Tracking confirms they received it nearly 2 weeks ago, yet after multiple chase-up emails regarding my £500 refund, I’m still getting generic responses like: “Once we receive and inspect the item…”

You already HAVE received it.

At this point, it feels like either nobody can be bothered to check properly or they are deliberately delaying refunds.

Would strongly recommend avoiding this company entirely.

Avoid avoid avoid

Avoid avoid avoid, i have been waiting 18 days now without a delivery, DPD have obviously delivered to a wrong address as per photo tracking but here we are still with no solution. Do not trust these guys with your money. Delay tactics and having to chase constantly for no resolution. Shocking - ORDER 321321

I had an issue with a package arriving opened!

I had an issue with a package arriving opened. I contacted Activate Ondemand by email not expecting to hear back so quickly, especially as they don’t have a phone number, to my surprise,I received a reply within eight minutes and then a phone call 10 minutes later.
Justin Christie, was absolutely exceptional. He was polite professional and genuinely wanted to help in whatever way I preferred. I explained I wanted a replacement.
He asked me to send the package back and assured me as soon as I confirmed it had been posted he would send out a replacement.
This level of customer service is rare these days, fast responses, excellent communication and a genuinely helpful attitude throughout. Exceptional service from start to finish, thank you Justin.

HI Yvonne,

Thanks for shopping with us.

Your order from Friday will be delivered within 2 business days.

Because of the bank holiday we expect Rayban's distributor to ship out on Tuesday to be with you on Wednesday

Faulty Ring Doorbell

Purchased Ring Doorbell.
After installing found the item to be faulty, contacted AOD via email was concerned that I could not find a phone number, however I had very prompt responses to my emails which TBH is a definite plus for AOD.
One reply was not on point I believe caused by my email perhaps not being fully read, however once I had replied and pointed this out all was resolved very quickly.

Received returns label, sent AOD my proof of postage, Moneys refunded to my account.

Absolutely brilliant service.
