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.

I ordered two Kugoo electric scooters from geekbuying to Greece. M4 and M2 PRO. I received them after 10 days and on the first ride both of them stopped working. Kugoo M4 showed E-006 and Kugoo M2 PRO is just dead, doesn't respond to anything. I have sent multiple e-mails to the after sales service as well as to the live chat which constantly addresses me to after sales and nothing more. After one week that they keep telling for a replace while I was asking for a full refund, they told me to inform them about the shipping cost of the return in order to answer me if they will cover it! They do not give me a RS Label for UPS and they continuously asking me to inform them about the cost. In addition, today when I reached live chat for one more time, they showed me a screenshot of a fake discussion between me and after sales. Now they tell me that after sales is off to work for now and they will respond now. So to conclude, I paid over 1000 euros for two defected items and now their after sales service asks me to pay the huge amount of return without offering RS Label (return services) and without knowing if I am going to get full refund. If I won't get full refund excluding shipping costs of return I am going to sue geekbuying and I will address to european consumer advocate.
So, do yourself a favor and buy anywhere else but on this site.

A long story short ~(7 months) my TV box had to be repaired after 2 months.
I had to pay for shipment to China (weird) to have the box repaired.
After repair it was shipped to a weird address in Canada by GeekBuying.
According to GeekBuying after many many email inquiries the TV box was destroyed by customs (weird).

As compensation by GeekBuying I was offered ~40% of the purchase only

I am now (again, many many emails) asking for a 100% refund as I shouldnt have to split the loss due to a business error, right?

Very frustrating...
I had to pay shipping cost for repair
I took GeekBuying ~8 weeks to repair
GeekBuying shipped the repaired unit back to a weird address
After ~ 7 month GeekBuying claim the box was destroyed by customs in Canada ( post office tracking doesnt indicate that it was destroyed!)
Now I have to share GeekBuying business risk?

These conditions are not part of the small letters!
GeekBuying is having a insurance to claim
All still in warranty period!

How to escalate this issue so I can get my full refund?

Any suggestions are very much appreciated?

My recommendation for what its worth:
Find a North America based seller and avoid a Chinese. Its better to communicate, no endless shipping time, they dont change rules on you in time when it is convenient for them, proper escalation processes, etc

Ordered a phone with delivery 5-7 days with TNT.
After a few days, once they had my money in the bank, they tell me they can ship it with TNT and can offer CHINA POST 30-45 Days, *******@inbelievable. So I asked if they can deliver to my Hong Kong address and i will sort the shipping from there. OH NO! They don't know anyway to ship in their own country... absolute bollox! So now its 2 weeks and i am promised a refund and still waiting! NEVER ORDER FROM THESE IDIOTS

Geekbuying C. – Geekbuying Rep

Hi dear sir
So sorry for keeping you wait so long.
Could you please tell us your order number? We'll try our best to help you solve it.
And we are sorry for that there is no TNT in our HK warehouse, so we have to ship it out by registered airmail.
And if you want we send to your HONGKONG address, we can process for you.
Maybe there was a misunderstanding.
Hope the problem has been solved somehow.
Wish you have a nice day.
Sincerely,

Fiido L3. They previously said they would help me with my bike and gave me an address. But the man at the address does not know and does not repair the bike. It truly is the worst site in the world. They directed me there without contacting the repairman. I haven't been able to get my bike repaired for about a month. My warning to everyone, do not buy anything from this site!

Today is November 8th and they still haven't put the engine on the road. Enough about an incredible site. Give my money back. I want all my money. They couldn't fix a bike for 2 months

I still haven't received any results regarding my transactions. They respond to emails within 2-3 days. Don't buy anything from here. They could not verify the address for 1 month. Finally, I asked for a refund. And I'm still waiting for them to come back. I was doing Deliveroo in Dublin. But I haven't been able to work for 2 months because of this company. They have to cover my losses. Because they couldn't repair the bike for 2 months. And I wrote in my first email that I was working as Deliveroo. But they don't care. They absolutely don't care if your products break.

I am attaching the date I first sent an e-mail as a photo below. The date is September 27. That's incredible. The worst site I have ever seen in my life. Who will cover my 2-month loss? I haven't been able to use my bike for two months? Even though it is under warranty!

Tip for consumers:
I advise people to stay away from this site.

Products used:
I bought an electric bike, but I couldn't get it repaired for 1 month. They are keeping me busy. They respond to emails late. They won't take my bike back. All they do is stall.

I purchased Self Balancing Scooter at Dec 1st 2015 to get to my husband for Christmas. I paid almost $100 for Priority Express shipping that they claimed will be delivered on time.
Firstly (one week later) I got the email from customer service that the product I ordered is too popular to meet all demand, and ask me to wait few days until more come from the factory and then they will ship it asap. I said OK, just make it here by Christmas. As promised in few days I got shipping confirmation (Dec 14th 2015) firstly without tracking information but then one day later with UPS tracking number. But then no update on the stacking info what so ever. I was contacting tracking support team multiple time. And they keep asking me to wait. Already after Christmas (Dec 29th 2015) they told be that my package was delayed because of holiday season peak and never made to the plane. Ask to wait again.
At this moment I already missed the date to give it as a present and just wanted it to be delivered some day (because my husband wanted it so badly).
At Jan 13th 2016 they told me that there is no proper way to ship this product... because it has so many batteries it hard to go through customs...
Really?!?
If you don't know how proper ship product abroad don't sell it... or figure it out. Simple business rules.
Jan 20th 2016 they told me that they finally receive package back from custom and will refund my money in 48 hours... will see.

The worst buying experience in my life!

Tip for consumers:
the have no idea how to work with customs.
if you order something expensive probably will never receive it.
at least can hope for refund. just don't waste you time

Guys; Seriously... KEEP AWAY FROM GEEKBUYING.COM! I ordered a cell phone for $425.00 US Dollars and I was very happy when they send me a track number in less than 5 days. Unfortunately, the phone they sent me was a Use/refurbished/returned one! I was Stoned when I opened the package to find out that the phone was not new and that some accessories where missing (screen protector, power adapter), and the phone was already setup by the previous owner! When you turn ON a new phone, you are supposed to si the Welcome Screen right? The cables are dirty and scratched, the inner box was unsealed and scratched as well. I sent a message to Customer service at GB, they answer 2 days later saying that they can't find my order number and saying that it looks like I bought the phone somewhere else, etc. Then I sent them a copy of the invoice and then they admitted that the phone came from their warehouse. It have being impossible for me to return the phone, because they do not want the phone back and never tell me the return address or instructions for me to return the phone. Today they sent me a message offering me $20 bucks for the mistake and saying that the phone was open at the warehouse to tested. That is B. S...! I already Contacted eCommerce.gov and they will review the case and will contact the Chinese Authorities to investigate mine and other complaints that they already have about this online scammers! If you don't want to lost your money and time, KEEP AWAY FROM GEEKBUYING.COM

Absolutly horrible website. Purchased 2 cell phones worth 420USD in total. First got a message from them saying that the order is of very high value and the region from where I am shopping is high risk so I must provide additional proof of identity. I did send all the details and the charged my credit card for 420USD. After the charge I get another email saying my zip code is incorrect and I cannot DHL my purchase to this location. I tried to explain them that for last 8 years I have been getting items delivered to same location via DHL. Didn't help.

Then I decided to request a refund. Their live chat service is unavailable 24x7! The one time I could chat after like a loooooooooooong wait, as soon as I said I want a refund the agent simply ignored me. I tried calling the number on their website and I always get a busy message. I have even emailed them asking for refund and I got no response. I hope they do not read this and respond saying the zip code is incorrect because that's all the agent kept repeating throughout.

Will never shop from these guys again.

Be patient as I noticed some items can take a while to be shipped but it is generally marked if so.

I ORDER AND XIAOMI SPORT CAMERA AND ACCESORRIES AND THEY SEND ME JUST CAMERA, AFTER 16 DAYS (THEY SAY THAT DHL EXPRESS IS 3-5 BUSSINESS DAYS).

THEY RESPOND AND TELL ME THAT THE REST OF MY ORDER WILL BE SHIPPED, BUT THERE IS NO DATE OR TIME OR WHEN WILL DO THAT.

AVOID!

Hi dear sir,
Sorry for the trouble.
The camera you ordered is located in our HK warehouse, and the accessories are located in our mainland of China, we have to ship them out separately.
And the camera was shipped to you by express delivery, the accessories will be sent out with registered airmail.
And after we sent them out, you can receive the tracking numbers.
Thanks for your kind understanding.
Wish you have a nice day!

Okay, so I ordered a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Pro on the 24th of July 2017. And I honestly have been impatient to receive it. I live in Canada, and I chose the 'Registered Airmail', they are shipping my order through SF Express. And I'm freaking out because I've already paid via PayPal and I've been reading the reviews... so my order might come within a few days and appear to be fine, or it might come after a longer wait and turn out to be DOA (which according to customer reviews has happened.) What I don't understand is if they're using an Express service to deliver the item why is it taking this long? Even though SF Express says that a parcel from Hong Kong to Canada should take 5-6 business days. I'm really crossing my fingers on this order... and I hope my money doesn't go down the drain. So if GeekBuying, you decide to read this, please get me in contact to SF Express and tell me exactly where my parcel is... because 'In transit to country of destination' is not at all satisfying.
So I humbly request you to help me out.
