“BattDepot - Great Service”

I went to BattDepot Monday, December 7th, 2020 on Victoria Park Avenue. The person got me the part I needed For my laptop. He was so pleasant and courteous to me. The service was outstanding. I asked him for a BattDepot Business card so I will be able to recommend them to others. Thank you again for making me an eighty-one year Old women's day.

“BattDepot.com Scam”

Dissatisfied C.
2/7/23

In my opinion, Battdepot.com is a scam and deserves every negative review it receives. Purchased a laptop battery w/2 yr warranty that failed after 17 mos. Followed their RMA instructions verbatim including cost for return USPS shipping. Company denied receiving return in lieu of delivery confirmation. Multiple emails unanswered, website live chat unavailable, no live customer service answers phone, only recorded message. Total Scam...avoid this online merchant!

I've ordered 2 laptop batteries, from which 1 was the correct but bad quality, the other one was never sent, I recieved the product in pictures instead. Made a complaint on the website already at 1 month, with no satisfatory answer, actually no answer at all, only that they would have to check... don't recommend at all.

Poor customer service and poor product. Battery initially charged and held a charge so naturally disposed of the box. It soon became apparent that the battery was causing CPU utilisation on my laptop to ramp up and screen would go blank. Both these issues resolved when installing old battery. Within 3 days of receiving battery I paid return postage and was further disappointed when refund was 15% less than I paid due to lack of original packaging. I could understand a restocking fee if the return was due to me deciding I didn't want it, but it was clearly faulty. You confirmed it was a suitable replacement. Time to review your processes BattDepot.

Like many reviews, I bought a laptop battery, it was dead less than six months later. Followed their instructions for a return under warranty. I sent it a month ago, never heard back from them ever again. Attempts to contact support go unanswered. Wish I'd seen this site before ordering from them.

The battery I ordered didn't fit. I returned it wrapped in bubble wrap in a cardboard box. It was in perfect condition. They refused to refund my money - they said the battery was damaged. I asked for it to be returned - and it was returned - trashed! There was no way this could have happened in the post through the padded packaging - and I certainly didn't damage it! They refuse to refund my money. This is a scam company and not to be trusted.

Waited 2 weeks for the battery only to find out it was lost. Probably won't get our money back. Now I have to order another obviously from another company. I will never use them again

Sent me a battery that is NOT DETECTED by my Dell Precision Laptop and want me to return it at my cost as if it was a warranty (USED) claim. IT IS NOT USED, IT IS DOA and should just be replaced promptly. I will just file a claim with my Credit Card company since you won't stand behind your product. If you want it back you can send me a return label, otherwise it'll go in the garbage where it belongs.

Sent a battery that was defective. Asked me to return with me paying out of pocket for shipping. No response. Sent them tracking of returned battery. No offer to replace. Now not communicating. Buyer beware.

I bought a laptop battery from them. After initially charging and discharging it 3-4 times as instructed, the battery went flat in a couple of weeks time. They did agree to send a replacement, once I'd returned the original one. That was ok, BUT the replacement battery was even worse than the first one. It went flat within a few days after the initial 3-4 times of charging and discharging it. They don't offer refund because it's more than 30 days since I bought the initial battery. PRODUCT NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE - AVOID.
- The battery in question was Dell T54FJ 11.1 Volt Li-ion Laptop Battery (4400mAh / 49Wh)

The battery is not here yet. 10 days since I ordered it. The y don't answer my emails. Don't waste your money - you will not get your battery for your computer on time. And you will not hear from them.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use this website-- there is no customer service. I haven't heard from them.

Received a laptop battery in February 2020, it was dead 3 months later as they sent a USED REFURBISHED battery to me. Returned it to them with a RMA for a new replacement and their USA Post office box received the return on May 12, with USPS tracking. Have contacted them 10 times now about the return and they do not respond. Horrible customer service, as I was on CHAT for 3 hrs without a resolution and they have not sent the replacement, nor do they return email or phone messages. All I want is a new replacement, not sure why they refuse. Buyer beware as they send refurbished batteries as "new".
**Have filed complaints with TrustPilot, Goggle and next will be the BBB as BattDepot refuses to reply to requests and a replacement. It's so simple, return a defective battery and replace it, but no, they will not even respond, WORST customer Service! I guess they don't care about bad reviews and certainly do not respect their customer's issues. I would NOT support this business.

Tip for consumers:
Want to get ripped off? Don't waste your money, horrible Customer Service, they do not respond.

I ordered a replacement battery for my laptop. It was delivered quickly but the Battery was defective and the customer has to pay to return the battery. Then the communication gets a little hazy. The people that respond to the emails, obviously have English as a second language, as most of the replies don't make sense and at this time they wont even acknowledge that they received the defective battery even though the carrier has a confrmation date and time for the delivery

ON 9/13/2018 I PUCHASED A REPLACEMENT BATTERY FOR MY LAPTOP. IT ARRIVED ON TIME. THEIR SERVICE WAS FINE.

THE PROBLEM BEGAN ON 9/15/2018. I FOUND 2 UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES FOR A TOTAL OF $ 586.70. THEY WERE LABLED AS INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES. MY CARD WAS NOT USED AGAIN UNTII LATE 9/15/2018 THESE UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES WERE POSTED BEFORE MINE.

I THEN USED THEIR "LIVE CHAT" NOT, THIS TURNS OUT TO BE AN EMAIL SERVICE. I USED IT TWICE LEAVING MY PHONE #. AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL. I NEVER REACHED A LIVE PERSON TO SPEAK TO.

I CANNOT GIVE THIS SITE A GOOD RATING.

Great service from this company, solid service and reliable delivery. I got took 3 times buying off ebay sellers who would not come up with warranty replacement. This company has a phone number and you can call them.
