“Samsung Galaxy S8+”

Abu A.
8/1/18

I ordered a Galaxy S8+ dual sim around around January 2018 for 505 pounds, it came with DPD tracking and item arrived within a week. It was all original in boxed packaging. I ordered one at first by accident and got them to cancel the order so they did reply and cancel the order for me but for other general enquiries they are slow to get back or don't respond at all. People who have had bad experiences I would say ordered the latest phones like S9 and items did not arrive I think because it's the latest device, it prob got stolen in the post because it is a sort after device. I would not hesitate to order from them again but not when a new device comes out, I would wait til the item gets a bit cheaper. I ordered S8+ for 505 now it is 365 after 6 months. I recommended everyone to tech in the basket after I ordered my phone, I would always pay with Paypal pay after delivery though the negative feed back I would still not be put off to order from them again.

“SCAM SITE. DO NOT USE!”

Richard W.
2/3/22

Scam site. DO NOT USE. They set up two fake deliveries stating no-one was home, when there was on both occasions. DPD, the delivery company is impossible to reach after the first phone call. Techinthebasket do not respond to emails. They sent one email stating my funds would be refunded. That was a month ago. Complete sham site. DO NO USE. You have been warned.

It's a Scam. Simple! Paypal luckily reimbursed me.

This is a truly shocking company that should NEVER BE USED.

DPD had no order of this nature.

I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH MISERY THIS COMPANY HAVE CAUSED ME.

They kept fobbing me off.

At one point they said, "Please don't worry, we will be in contact with DPD very soon.

It is hard to believe this company is still allowed to operate. Chances are, they'll liquidate the company and reopen under another name. My guess is they'll pursue this business model because they'll assume most people will not have the appetite to pursue their purchases.

I have told DPD about this course of action.

I was in a hurry to get another phone and £600 and two months later, I now have my money back.

Bought a iphone 11 (128gb £643) in red, had it a month and it wouldn't connect to my sim. Tried a brand new sim as well as the sim from my wife's phone still wouldn't connect. Took to apple who said they could fix it (2days) BUT it was a Chinese iphone that could only be fixed in Chinese regions. Emailed titb who said it had to be sent to them 4 MONTHS OF EMAILS, YES 4 MONTHS of being fobed off I was finally offered 50% of the money back, bag of youve been warned!

Verified purchase

DO NOT USE THIS USELESS COMPANY. You may be lucky (and its is a lottery) and get your product on time. Many are not! I ordered a MacBook Air from TechintheBasket/IDS Hong Kong on the 23rd of December 2021 and paid for faster delivery. TiB told
Me that delivery would take 4 to 6 days, but in fact (DPD) tried to deliver it on the 24th of December when there was no-one in to accept it, so it was retained by DPD. I have since exchanged around 40 email messages with TiB who continue to tell me that they are waiting for the machine to be returned from DPD, but they continually say the same thing, and no actual progress on either delivery or refund is made. TiB refuse to provide any detail on their enquiry with DPD, will not provide a contact telephone number or the details of a senior customer service manager with whom I might discuss the issue. After 8 weeks I was no further forward. TiB had my money and my machine and I had no dependable assurance from them that they knew where the machine is, when I might receive it or when I might get a refund or replacement. Their communication is generic and non-specific, and in fact untruthful. This was only resolved by Paypal who refunded my money. Chris McIntyre

Tip for consumers:
Only use this company if you can risk an extended delay and dishonest customer service if anything goes wrong. You may wait over 10 weeks to get your money back, and will have to do it through PayPal or your credit card company as TechintheBasket does not respond.

ORD*******
Purchased Sony Xperia 1 IV XQ-CT72 5G 12GB/512GB Dual Sim - Purple 11th Jan. Chased delivery 17th. Arrived late Jan. Stopped working wouldn't turn on.
Reported problem 2nd May. Advised I go to a Mobile Repair Shop as their was a long wait.
Shop advised they couldn't fix the phone. Reported this to them. Advised I needed to return the phone.
They then asked for £70 as part of payment for the repair. After being advised they could fix the phone and no data would be lost. I was told the Motherboard had failed.
I was offered a lower spec refurbished phone.
I requested a full refund.
They advised they could return the phone and refund the £70 for the repair.
Again I requested the full refund and advised them that under the consumer protection act I'm entitled to a full refund. The phone was less than 4 months old.
I wrote a review on trip advisor. They replied advising that I would be contacted.
Still waiting!
This isn't a small amount of money. £791.99 plus £35.99 total £827.98 plus £70 for repair £897.98!
ORD*******.

Tip for consumers:
If TECHINTHEBASKET reads this please contact me and send me a full refund.
Sony if you are reading this please check who you allow to sell and represent your company I purchased
Sony Xperia 1 IV XQ-CT72 5G 12GB/512GB Dual Sim - Purple. Because I trusted your products. It just stopped working!!

Real personal experience: I bought a Huawei P10 Plus 128G Gold dazzling from TECHINBASKET (PRO) (http://www.priceminister.com//TECHINBA) and it is of bad quality... After using normally for less than one month, it broke down, showing blurry screen with many horizontal stripes... The seller TECHINBASKET (PRO) is highly irresponsible and unreliable... Even though they offer 1 year guarantee, they rejected a direct replacement or refund at first. After I wrote several complain letters, they cheated me that they would replace it. After I sent them the defective phone, they broke their promise and still sent it for repair... I cannot believe there is such untrustworthy seller in this world... Now I have spent 510 EURO and without a functional mobile phone for more than 3 months... and until now TECHINBASKET never offered me a satisfying solution... They even block customers from posting on their Facebook. BE VERY CAREFUL if you want to buy from them! Here is the link to my comment on their FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/pg/Techinthebasket**************/community/?ref=page_internal
