Spent £700 on a lens, they quoted 5-8 working days for delivery, so far 23 days and nothing, not even proof of posting! They have ignored 4 emails over 4 days. I will be trying to get my money back from the credit card company. Buyer beware! Never again!

Don't be fooled by 'UK' on their website, they are from China. Found out minutes after purchasing a Nintendo Switch. Tried to cancel the order immediately... impossible! The only way you can do it is by 'submitting a ticket' clicked on it plenty of times on my iPad, iPhone and laptop, no chance, nothing happened. They state you can't cancel via email or phone (don't bother, it doesn't exist). Found a marketing email, sent a message to cancel. A few days later they got that message, too late, item dispatched. It has arrived, it's a Chinese Nintendo?! Now got to return it and pay £15 admin charge and shipping fee, they are taking the mick.

"Stay Away" is my only advice. I have sent back a defected mobile phone to them only after a week of receipt and asked for exchange or refund. They just gave an excuse that their technician has found out some physical damage on the phone (without any proof to show me) and said that the warranty was voided. If I want to get the phone back, I need to pay a further £30 for pick up and £50 for return (and the phone will stay as it is with no repair done). Do you people think this is an actual act of robbery?!

If possible, please circulate this message to all your friends or potential buyers to alert them not to get any closer to this company (please note that this is not an UK company and it has its registered office in Hong Kong).

Huge SCAM
November 13, 2019

Huge SCAM, avoid purchasing at eGlobal Central UK because they are not using the couriers they announce in their web page. Instead, they are using the Hermes courier that is so bad that loosed my package (as so did with many others, look at the reviews on internet). And they don't refund my money! They only give me 10 pounds of the 214.99 pounds I payed for my phone!

Complete Fraud
November 23, 2018

Complete Fraud. Stay Away.

Product was never delivered to a large office in central London with 24hour reception. Waiting nearly 2 months for a refund "for product to be returned to warehouse".

Should have known better.

I ordered an iPad which aririved late and either faulty or refurbished, so I asked for a refund and they said no!? Do not trust this company they are charlatans.

Update - after 3 months and 100 or so exchanges I took the iPad to Apple and they said it had been bought from Amazon 1 month before I purchased it! Complete con.

Do not trust this company
December 24, 2018

Ive had an awful experience with this company. The level of customer care is unacceptable.

The item has never been delivered and when raising the matter with the company they left it significant time between replying and then simply closed the case stating the delivery company told them it had been delivered which wasn't the case.

I am certain this company is not genuine and they are unethical in there practices. Basically taking payment and never sending the item.

Do not order from them!
December 23, 2019

Do not order from them! I ordered a phone and there was no indication from their website that it wasn't in stock. They spent weeks getting it in stock. Every time I emailed them it was only 3 days away. Eventually I gave up and asked for a refund. They ignored this and sent the phone out 3 days later. Finally the phone arrived 31 days after I ordered it. I then lost £15.80 returning it to Hong Kong. It has to be back in 10 days! That's less time then it took them to send it to me in the first place. And they refuse to pay for postage even though I asked to cancel the order even before they sent the package.

The 2 year warranty is useless, staff lie and manipulate to get out of the warranty they offer on all sales. My £280 sony headphones suffered from a widly known design issue where they cracked and then broke on the headband in less than a year from regular use and never being dropped. This is a known deisgn flaw reported widely online. I explained this to them many times sharing all the reports of the issue online and the staff kept repeating the same inaccurate thing that physical damage is not covered and telling me I dropped them when I didn't. They link to a warranty which doesn't even mention physical damage let alone physical faults, which is what this issue is about. I did not damage my headphones, the broke. They are liars and manipulative to try and avoid sticking to the warranty they offer.

Whatever bad reviews you read on the review pages are all true. Just remember that saying " If it is too good to be true, it probably is". I got caught out with a £100 pair of cordless headphones. Advertised in the UK for £65, I went ahead and purchased them without reading any review sites. They took 8 days to arrive, but I had already cancelled them. Received an email just after I sent the cancellation email stating that they were already dispatched. I returned them unopened and I paid the £17 postage back to Hong Kong. The refund took over 30 days and they deducted £16 for handling. I spoke to the actual manufacturers and they stated that they do NOT SUPPLY China or Hong Kong this type of headphones due to them being FAKED. BE WARE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Still have not received my phone after ordering over 20 days ago, the website stated it would take no longer than 4-8 days. The customer service has been pretty much automated emails with no real personal response. This is ridiculous.

Terrible product and service: I ordered a mobile, it was listed as "in stock" but it took more than a month to arrive. When received the box was damaged and opened, there was a Chinese charger (with no certification), a dirty (the was an insect wing attached) uk adapter. The phone itself seems refurbished and not new: protective film poorly attached and stains everywhere. I would carefully avoid this seller in the future.

DREADFUL COMPANY
November 29, 2017

Be warned, this is a dreadful company to deal with. No telephone number for customer service. They do not answer e-mails (emails are the only way to contact them). I have now had to involve credit card company to dispute the order due to their total lack of response. Gave it one and they do not even deserve that.

I cancelled my order within a few hours of placing it after having read poor reviews of EGlobal. I have been contacting them regularly but still have not got a refund or the product after 5 weeks and no sign of anything happening. I am having to see whether the credit card company can reclaim the money. Avoid this company.

I bought a digital camera (Olympus Stylus Tough TG-5) that had a malfunction. I tried to contact the customer services to activate the warranty. They answered that their warranty policy does not provide for this, without giving a reasonable reason for that.
I tried to ask for further information and they simply disappeared.
Prices are low, but if you need support or you have a problem with the item purchased the advantage turns down to a loss

Never received the product that I ordered despite following up so many times. Very disappointed and would request all to only buy from this wesbsite if you are ready to gamble. In case of any issue, there is no one whom you can talk to and mails are unanswered. Don't put your hard earned money at risk just to save few bucks.

AVOID SCAMM!
August 29, 2017

SCAM! Warning Avoid

Ordered a s8. After multiple emails and messages no response. Has been over a week and no tracking info, email or delivery code.

They also blackmailed me into closing my paypal dispute and threatened to keep the delivery on hold until I close the paypal claim. They are still not delivering the phone.

If the deals too good to be true...

Eglobal already have the following with order number:
* 3 emails
* phone call
* support ticket
* PayPal resolution centre (threatened into closing)

Still have received no phone

Also to where do I send the order number? Eglobal do not reply back to anything

Lens ordered 18/11/17
Since then: 4 Emails from me asking for progress report.
From them: 2 automated responses promising a reply from customer services.
Involved PayPal: 2 more Emails from me From them: Nothing.
No Lens, no refund. So I escalated my claim.
They are still advertising the lens I ordered of course I wonder which lucky punter will win the lottery and actually receive it?
Before you use Global Central look at the1*/5* Ratio and only buy if you're feeling lucky.
