Horrific! They trade under Bastion Insurance and Oxford insurance as well as tinhat insurance. They should be charged with fraud and criminal activity!!! AVOID!!!

Would have given a 5 star review except a computer error meant that my daughter’s phone and tablet insurance wasn't renewed at the end of last year which meant the policy didn't roll over. However, M... See more

Absolutely a sham of a company

Absolutely a sham of a company! Logged my claim few weeks ago and have sent all relevant documents and still have not heard anything back!

This company is a scam do not go with them.

Advice of new phone

I phoned Tin Hat because I had changed my mobile phone and needed to register it along with its IMEI no.
The service was fast, efficient and courteous.
Special thanks to Mohammed for arranging this.

Super fast and friendly service

Super fast and friendly service. Needed to update my policy as I'd bought a new device. I emailed the details, got a swift response and the policy was updated straight away. All sorted in less than half an hour.

Excellent purchase service.

Just bought a Moto G8 Power. This could not be selected on the drop down list as it’s only just gone on sale. A quick email and in less than half an hour and I could select it. I hand a discount code which couldn’t be entered, but has been applied post purchase and a refund given. I realise that they want my custom but at least the issues were sorted quickly. I hope I never have to claim, but if I have to, I expect a similarly excellent service!

customer service??? what customer service!!!!!!!

not happy! purchased he indurance for my s10plus following the reviews that they replace quickly and have good customer service! I would say not! logged my claim on Monday 16th contacted by Friday 21st. asked to provide documents regarding owenership and usage which I provided within 10 minutes from EE and then nothing. tried to email and call but no response. still waiting for a response 3 days later. don't believe it when they state most claims are sorted within 48hrs its untrue. very unhappy with the level of service I have been provided and the total lack of response. I have raised a complaint to the complaints team but don't hold out much hope of a response? why did I even bother to pay for insurance when its not worth anything - poor company I would avoid

Do not use if you don’t have a 12 month…

Hi Joanne,

I'm really sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the service you received.

Unfortunately we can't cover gadgets bought without a 12 month warranty. This is stated in our terms and conditions and during our sales journey.

I will forward your complaint to our customer services, they should be in contact soon.

Kind regards,

Lucie

Fantastic customer service and competitive phone premiums

Have been with Tinhat for 18 months and made my first claim last year. Paid my £50 excess and sent it off via Royal Mail Special Delivery. A brand new phone came back within a couple of days. How good is that. Have since bought a more expensive phone and this comes with a £100 excess, but this still seems reasonable when the phone is valued at nearly £800. By accident, phones can be left somewhere or dropped and excesses need to reflect this. I am more than happy to recommend Tinhat for your phone insurance. The customer service from the team is second to none and reassuring.
