Top Critical Review

“Rubbish company”

Martin W.
12/9/20

Rubbish company ordered two scooters, got one delivered, that's when issues started out of stock for the second one, was told the next week, that week arrived nothing, told a week later, still nothing, now have been told another week. So no contacting my bank and paypal to get my money back. Awful company to deal with lies after lies. Will also be contacting trading standard's regarding this fiasco.

Purchased a Xiami Mi Laptop 700EUR - what arrived was an empty box so this is complete online fraud. The retailer was a YI LIN of Bantain. There is no customer service - I am hoping I get a refund from PayPal or Amex. Avoid this company.

I bought a cleaning robot at GeekBuying since they were saying it would take 2-7 business days to process payment and a few more days for shipment.
After 10 business days the status was still "processing payment". I contacted them and they told me that they would pack and ship on the following days. Then, after 14 business days it was still showing "processing payment". The product was supposed to be a gift, so I need that to arrive on time. If they were taking so long to process payment, which is just a bad excuse in my opinion since I have paid already and so they had my money, I was wondering how long it would take for shipment.
I decided to cancel and buy the same product at another store. I received a message from GeekBuying right away saying that my order had been canceled and they would generate the refund to my account shortly, but it is still showing "processing refund" on my order. I never had such bad experience at any other store. I do not have the product neither my money. I do not recommend GeekBuying at all.

I have ordered from a dozen Chinese sites and this one is the only I had any problems with.
I asked availability for 2 smartphones I liked and they told me both were on stock so I decided to order one of them even if the color in stock wasn't my favourite. I specifically asked which one would be sent faster and they answered any of them cause they were IN STOCK.One week after payment is received via PayPal they send me an email telling me my phone will arrive at their warehouse 3 weeks later because its OUT OF STOCK, meanwhile they promote this batch of phones 30% off the price I paid.
I ask for anything from a refund to another model like the other phone I was originally interested in... THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY ORDER.

MY ADVICE: AVOID AT ALL COSTS

This company is NOT TO BE TRUSTED. Happy to sell at discount prices but as soon as something goes wrong, they are extremely evasive and unhelpful. They have appear to have no technical abilities and will not pay for return postage when an item is doa - apparently "too expensive" for them to afford even though this is the terms they sell under.

After I've bought a tv box from them and spent a week installing everything, I restarted the box and the date and time changed to somewhere in 2004. Tried to get relevant help from the after sale support but got irrelevant and non professional answers and needed to wait a day for each answer, while the box working worse each day (restarting itself, closing kodi several times a day, status bar disappearing etc.). Re-installed ROM just to realize it's exactly the same as the one installed, with the same problems. Asked to return the item for a refund and got an answer that you can only return it after a week... bad service and malfunctioned product.
UPDATE (5/2016) - I've sent the item back to the seller for a replacement and got another defective item... they would only refund me if I'll send the item back to them. I should mention that it took them 2 weeks to take the item I returned from the post office and another week to send a new (and defective) item to me. Paypal didn't help solving the problem with them.
To conclude - they just don't care what customers think about them and don't know how to give a proper customer service.

I ordered a phone on Feb 12th. And got the package on May 12th. Three months! That was the slowest shipping I have ever experienced. I was not happy about it, but I accepted it. I ordered a phone bundle with case and screen protector. Both the case and the screen protector did not fit with the phone. I contacted the customer service and attached pictures as proof. They replied saying I ordered the case and screen protector for the wrong phone model. This makes no sense as I ordered them through the bundle package along with the phone. They refuse to give me a refund or send me the right case/screen protector, and said I ordered the wrong items. Later they said they would only give me half refund for the case, and no refund for the screen protector. The back and forth went on for more than three weeks, as their customer service only reply at most once per day. The entire process makes me feel like they were trying everything they can to refuse refund and to blame the customer. I shared my story to all my friends, and now warning everyone to stay away from geekbuying. In the last email they sent me, they asked me to come on this site and give them a 5 star review, then I would receive a 4% coupon code. What a joke...

Tip for consumers:
Get ready for the 3 month shipping time...
Customer service is unprofessional.
They would try all excuse to refuse refund you.
Do not trust the 5 star reviews. Geekbuying sends out emails to customers saying if they give 5 star review on sitejabber, they would get a 4% off coupon. (See the screenshot of the email)

I wanted to buy a Huawei phone not sold in the U.S. They were never able to confirm the purchase and they also held the money in the meantime. Stay far away. Don't buy from China!
