I bought a brand new laptop for my son's birthday, and it arrived defected, dead battery. I returned it back hoping to get a replacement, refund or at least warranty repairs. I was denied refund because the package the laptop was returned in wasn't the original, my bad. But even replacement was denied, and so it was taken for repair. A week goes by, no feedback, no status. The supplier doesn't seem to accept my communication request. Souq gives a long timeframe for repairs, 14 working days. I have to wait till end of the month and see, but will never buy expensive electronics ever again from Souq. They're good for small sports goods & kitchenware, but not electronics. No laptops, tablets, smart phones, smart TV etc

Q-express is very unprofessional and I had the worst experience in shopping. They fixed appointment for delivery two times and for both times nobody showed up while I was waiting at home and when I called they didn't give me a reply! They are unprofessional and it s a horrible service. I will never buy anything from souq and through this shipment! I asked for the refund! Horrible!

Please note, that I was waiting for 2 items since last week and was expecting to receive it in 3 days. After 5 days of waiting i start to follow up. Instead they just cancel the order and close my complain! Can you believe it!
Its a big disappointment especially when i need to travel the next day and order these items as a gift.

Also, I am still waiting for apologize letter from customer support agent who I spoke with about my complain. The lady just hang up a call on my face due to non ability to handle the complain

Stay Away from Souq.com
December 10, 2017

As an educated person and a tech savvy online shopper, I am disappointed to say that Souq.com has the worst customer care and service. I was embroiled in a case of defective product. I purchased a laptop and upon receiving my parcel and opening it, saw that the touch pad had an evident physical defect. And from there started my horrible journey with Souq.com. They do not return calls, they do not care about our time and money and worst of all, there is no co-ordination between any parties like seller, logistics and customer care. Each time the case has to be told again and again. All our emails are not replied to. I regret ever having purchased there. I am not going to buy there ever again! It is one month up and I still have no update, no proper response and no idea when I am going to get a closure to this ridiculous parade! Please stay away.

Souq Unethical problems
October 24, 2016

I'm seller on Souq. This is the worst and unprofessional website. They waste your time rejecting your items to be listed over the website. When you meet their requirements, they reject for no reason. I believe they have some business conflicts with their listed product and they want to protect. (Ethical problems)

If there will be 0 star or negative infinity, that will be there rating because they deserve it. They just want to get money not only from buyers but from sellers too! Unfair protection for sellers and they just deducting the amount from ur account without due process. So dnt support this kind of website if they are UNFAIR to people. They dont know how to give importance to the people who help them to become successful in e-commerce. Service really very disappointing

I made as order on November 22, with an expected delivery date of December 1st.
I waited at home all day for this order, and continuously tracking the delivery. At around 3:30pm I got a text message saying that my order will be delayed by a day. When I called customer service, I was told that their "warehouse was full" and that my delivery will be delayed by 48 hours.
I'm not being given an exact time for delivery, and I have no one at home to accept the package but myself. My time was wasted today, and I expect to waste more time accommodating to their bad scheduling. Very disappointing and unprofessional service.

I have never experienced an awful online shopping experience ever in my life. And this is my first time to write a review because I am extremely mad and I would like to share so that no one can ever order from them. So I ordered 6 items and only 4 items got delivered. Keep in mind that it was all paid for. However when I called they didn't give me a proper explanation, their customer representative is very poor. They do not repose to my email. They refunded back the money for the items that was not delivered and what made it worse is that they only refunded back the money for one item. What about the 2nd one? See how cheaters they are. Moreover, one of the 6 items I ordered Was a mascara that turned out to be absolutely fake. Please do not order from souq. It's a scam and worse experience.

I ordered 3 items, infinix zero phone and a hard drive, i got my delivery within 4,5 days. I have seen some negative review about souq.com. Then i decided that first i'll check the item internally. So that i have asked to delivery boy that may i check the delivery, he reused with attitude. I said to him that go to hell, i am cancelling the order, and i'll will purchase from a shop after check the phone deeply... if they has rating to MINUS then i give it in minus... $#*!ing service. Its means that you need to become a blind while you are purchasing something. LOL... thank god... narrowly avoided...

I have already purchased several items from saudi.souq.com. I have not encountered any negative issues with them so far.
I also have had the best experience with the customer service and delivery staff as they are very friendly and helpful. What's best is that their delivery time is always 1-2 days ahead from the original delivery schedule.
This is the best online shop for me.

Useless customer service
November 11, 2016

This is the second time to deal with them and their customer service is simply useless and unhelpful. When you call regarding any problem they do not seem to be able to offer any kind of logistic solution. Will not bother myself dealing with them again.

Well, my experience with this website wasn't bad, but they took a very long time to deliver my product which made me upset. I didn't call or contact the customer service i just waited. However, the product was OK. I'm not that happy with it, and i still think the pictures were better. But it's ok not that bad, i might use it again in the future but for now there are some better websites that i prefer and feel more comfortable with^_^

I bought what was advertised as a new (unblocked) IPhone from Souq, however it was delivered already fitted with a sim card yet it was blocked and would not work with the original sim card or other network sim (Du or Etisalat).
I believe that this phone was a used phone but Souq would not replace the phone or refund me.

There is nothing professional or honest about Souq...!
Souq is an organisation that sells anything to make money with no interest in the customer or value for money...!
My advice, stay away from Souq, go buy from a shop where you are guaranteed that when you buy new it will be new. Furthermore the high street store will have a genuine after sales support team who can offer a replacement or refund when there is a genuine issue.!

I ordered a Curtain(Livingroom) from souq as it was such a beautiful photo. When I received the product it was just a plastic sheet like a bathroom curtain. They then took the product back. I ordered a shoe from their website for the same amount. After 4 days I call them about the delivery and they said that the product is not available. Then I ordered some decorative golden mirror butterflies! To my surprise I got yellow matte colored paper cuttings!

I have purchased a refrigerator from Souq.com. Item was damaged and I requested a refund that my item is eligible for. Since 2 weeks I have been following up with Souq.com but they just ignore my request and not willing to fulfill their responsibilities.

First of all, I would like to highlight that souq.com sells defective items. Second, they are not willing to abide refund policy.

Is this what your service is shame on you guys.

Souq.com Sucks
December 27, 2016

Slow delivery, no checks on seller on shipment. Most of the items are promised to shipped on the same day, while in reality the items was not shipped after 72 hours. Customer service have not idea why the seller did not yet shipped. To cancel the order will take more than 7 days to get your money back. Stay away from Souq. Com

This website has many sellers and merchandises for sale. There are items with different qualities in the store. Make sure you purchase something that allows for return or exchange in case the quality is not as you expect. It is best to purchase from the ones with their own websites set.
