I have ordered an expensive beamer l, never received it and there is no signature package. First of all they said that it would take a long time and after that they according to then they posted when I was not home. They send me that the post had been delivered. So don't trust and don't waste your money. I had to pay for something I didn't receive and had to wait months waste of time.

I have purchases two phones from you, and I have sent numerous emails to your after sales department because the phones are defected, I have even taken the phone to professional company for an assessment and I have a report stating that the devices are defected. How can you sell devices like that. Now your After Sales Team are not replying to my emails. I will be taking legal action against your company, there are rights of consumers to protects the public from being taken advantage off. There are so many bad reviews, from second hand devices being sold and even broken products being sold. This is really unacceptable.

I bought a TV box Vorke Z6 plus and it did not connect to wifi. After some weeks it did not even turn on. It was faulty and I tried to return it but they pulled my leg with different answers as to who would pay the shipping costs.
I decided to save my time and threw it away. I lost my money and my patience so I did not want to wast any more time (5 months of correspondence back and forth without getting anywhere was more than enough)

Ordered something for Christmas two months ago. As of today I do not have the product, I dont have any kind of tracking information, and no hope for a refund either. There was no indication on the website that it would take longer than a month to arrive. I have heard back from customer service, but they only keep telling me that they are looking into it. Im pretty sure they just keep hoping I forget about it and MoveOn. This website is a total scam!

Placed an order for honor note 10.
Showed 490 units in stock.
Chose the 3 day dhl shipping.
Then found out item is not in stock.
Payment was processed and confirmed.
It has been 10 days. Nobody is responding.
Then the online chat team cancelled my order over a chat that disconnected midway.
Losing my mind.
Very very unprofessional people.

This is the suggested E-Shop site from Smartphone manufacturer Ulefone (http :// ulefone.com/ buy. Html).
Obviously online scam/fraud from Ulefone and Geekbuying to steal customer's money.

They took money (order No. *******) for Ulefone Smartphone and now both playing stupid.
I have sent tons of e-mails to both and nobody is answering.
Even the order vanished and I can't get the status or cancel and request the money back.

Shame on you Ulefone!
Shame on you Geekbuying!

I make an order and paid by pay pal, but didn't registered as customer in order to monitor the order status. Geekbuyng didn't send me any order confirmation and order status so the only proof of purchase is the pay pal transaction. How do I get info regarding the order? Some advice? I already wrote an email but no luck yet.

OnePlus 3 I bought turned out to be a fake one. The screen and housing have been replaced with non-original ones and NFC sensor doesn't work at all even though the phone was sold as "brand new". After-sale service doesn't answer my e-mails. This shop is a fraud.

I ordered a phone UMI Touch from geekbuying for over two weeks now. No communication, nothing. The live chat link does't even work. No response to email. I checked the tracking site and it says that my order has been processed in my country Nigeria, but I haven't received any phone. These guys are scam artistes. $146 gone, just like that. There should be an international regulatory body that can shut down online scam artistes like Geekbuying.com

They put items on pre-sale and then they keep your money and never send you the products you bought, even after they are in stock so that they can charge you full price.
Plus, they tried to bribe me into writing a 5 star review before even sending me the phone. They also ask for your passport and picture of credit card.
I will never even think of buying there again.

Don't even think about buying anything form them. The service is such garbage you will never see your package despite how much you pay for expedited shipping.

The shipping carrier didn't tell us what's the return reason, maybe due to the order address error or other reason.
For this case, we can help you apply for full refund to you now, for more details kindly check your email about it.

I ordered a phone and It's been 24 days since they shipped the product from their warehouse, I've no clue why the phone hasn't arrived in my country yet! I tried to call them, their Service Manager's number says, "this number is blocked for all the customers", why the hell does the number even exists then? Seems like i've made a HUGE mistake, never gonna buy again from Geekbuying, stay away.

My order number: #*******

They asked for sensitive ID information (they explicitly mentioned passport) to "process orders" using broken languages. Most likely a fake chinese website -- stay out of it

Placed an order for a Xiaomi Mi Box 3 device. After 5 days of no information or communication from them, they decided that I needed to pay another US$27 to have my order processed.

Cancelled order, still waiting for a refund, which is slow and hasnt moved.

No way to contact customer service to raise a ticket, the tickets I have raised won't get a response.

We purchased a drone and accessories on December 26,2016 and Geekbuying stated they shipped the product on January 11,2017 which was false. They later tried giving us a DHL shipping number that did not exist and then after a full month of back and forth gave us a full refund with no explanation. You can not click on any of their links, their contact information is international as they are based out of China. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY!"

GeekBuying was difficult to reach, gave unreliable information and didn't deliver. Bought a robot vacuum cleaner which was in stock according to the website (24 in stock). The order then was stuck on the processing stage for about 12 days before I replied what was happening, as their "probable maximum" of delivery days was getting closer. Didn't hear from them for days and inquired via a chat. Kind woman replied my order wasn't available, despite the site still claiming having 24 in stock. It would come later. Email finally responded a few days later with nearly incomprehensible English with the same story. Days later they informed me I needed a different more expensive delivery service, which I accepted. Even longer they replied that the extra items in the package weren't in stock and if I wanted to wait on that. I declined and after a few days I recieved all money back, with the exception of the extra paid for the other delivery service. After some more emails I received this back too.

Received defective goods in damaged pack. I returned EMS international (40 Dollar) they did not receive. In the end I will have to do charge back. They claim they are on holiday for 10 days (chinese new year).

Do not trust. It took so much time and money.

Beware of GeekBuying. In November 2017 I purchased what was supposed to be a new gimble (stabilizer) for my GoPro. The product arrived and was obviously a repackage and it contained a defective battery. I returned the package and received the below email that I would be refunded but have yet to see that refund and the company is no longer responding to my inquiries. Geekbuying will scam you!

1. You will not get any customer support if something will go wrong (support consultant Dora, uses canned responses and doesn't try to solve your issue)
2. If you need to return the goods IT will COST 32$
3. Vendor decreases the invoice amount without agreement (possible problems with customs)
4. Vendor can change 'Product Lead-time:' after your payment, be careful
