THANK YOU
June 4, 2015

Thank you to all you kind people for posting reviews following your experiences with this clearly awful company. Small justice, you save me lining their pockets with another order just in time following a quick google search. It shows that individuals can make a difference. Sadly, I fail to see why, with this number of bad reports that ANY bank / credit card/ pay pal would consider still letting them trade through them.
Thank you again to you all. Hopefully I can return the favour through a post past or future.

Bought a phone base power cable. They sent the wrong one. I returned it next day.
Sent all the relevant documentation. Long story short. Seven weeks later. No emails. Refund on threat of Paypal refund procedure. No sign of postage for return. I don't need to say avoid.

Still not received goods
January 27, 2019

They seem to be using the same excuses with me as they've used with various other people also leaving reviews; blaming the courier. They've allegedly sent the order out twice but I've not received anything, and apparently the courier company is struggling to find the parcel. I can't believe they're still in business and I wish I'd looked to see some reviews first.

Bobby D asked..
November 16, 2014

Bobby D asked."anybody knows how to get money back please post it here. Thanks" I got all my money back through my credit card company after these con artists claimed they never received the goods back. Also complain to PayPal, if enough people complain they will stop them using anything but cach! Ebay has banned them years ago!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
January 16, 2017

I purchased a replacement BT handset online between Christmas & new year. After chasing for delivery (standard 3-5 working days) twice by email, I finally received an empty envelope (opened at both ends) on 11th January. I received no response at all by email so had to dispute with Paypal. I'm pretty disgusted with Paypal too for doing business with such a poorly reviewed company! This 'company' should be investigated.

BEWARE
October 15, 2019

They sent the wrong phone, i. E. not the one advertised. I returned it at my own cost and they promised to send the right one. You can guess the rest. Impossible to find out who is in charge... avoid like the plague

I bought a telephone handset from them. It didn't work properly so they advised me to return it. This I did, but when I chased up why I hadn't heard from them, they claimed they'd never received the handset back. I sent them proof of postage and they said they'd send another handset to me asap. This has not arrived - despite them assuring me it was sent. The whole process has been a waste of time and money. They are - to my mind - running a scam.

I ordered a new base set and as soon as I pressed send I realised it was the wrong model. I Emailed immediately to cancel but they sent it anyway.
I returned it for a refund and since then I've emailed but no response. They don't have a phone number!

Avoid this company!

I purchased this item from their website on 2/12/17 and it was faulty on arrival (the phone display would go blank without warning when fully charged). They doubted me so I had to buy test equipment (£20), different makes of rechargeable battery (£12) and make a video showing the fault - see https :// www.dropbox. Com/s/82mj1yfap12vmue/Philips%20Onis%20live%20drop. Mov? Dl=0

They eventually agreed after three weeks to refund me but refused to pay for the return postage (£3.90), saying that their test engineer could find no fault. PayPal eventually agreed to refund the return postage to me (an excellent service from them).

Homephonesonline are a shower and I'm amazed that BT and other reputable outfits do business with them. They hide behind their online presence and don't publish a telephone number.

Buy elsewhere!

Homephonesonline are as bad as it gets. Sent faulty junk, which I returned signature on delivery. Then they claimed they never received the return and became abusive, despite the delivery receipt which had a company director's signature on it! I was polite throughout, should have gone to small claims but life is too short. Just don't buy here.

Homephonesonline.co.uk were advertising a carer phone including pendant, I ordered two, but when they arrived there were no pendants - various emails and letters did not get them to send the pendants and so I purchased the pendants from Amazon and reported homephonesonline.co.uk to Trading Standards. I considered taking them to the small claims court but life is to short to waste on companies like these.

I won't be using them again and suggest that you don't either.

I to ordered a phone from this company.the phone they sent did not work. I returned phone to them and despite getting the odd e mail asking the same questions about it and getting one saying they would send a replacement i still havent received phone or my money back. They are conmen and should be taken off the internet and charged with fraud.if anybody knows how to get money back please post it here. Thanks.

Wish I'd found these reviews before using these cowboys.

Granted, it was probably my mistake to assume that a phone handset would come with charging station, but fair enough I ordered one. But to not include the battery cover?

I was able to check that the handset worked with charged batteries, but there was a long delay before I placed the handset on a charging station (because I was nearly 200 miles away). That's when I found that the handset wouldn't charge.

OK so I'm out of 'warranty', but do they care? No. Nothing they can do (so lee says), he then tries to tell me that he's tied by BT to the warranty period. Utter bull$#*!.

Any decent company finding that it had sold shoddy goods would do something to sort it out regardless.

Unhelpful response from the outset. Failed to answer polite emails requesting the correct part number to assist me to order a part. If I had this much poor service before actually buying anything, what sort of service could I have expected after the sale? I wanted the part - but not badly enough to buy it from this lot.

Whilst the Homephonesonline website says that they specialise in selling
Discontinued and refurbished telecommunication products directly to the valued customer, at the lowest prices possible, they do not tell you what the condition is or whether there are missing parts for each item they sell. So you have no idea what you are buying. Indeed they might be selling a new product (which is what I had assumed since there was no warning against the product that I bought that it was previously sold by Comet and that it was missing a User Guide!).
When I raised a complaint with them pointing out exactly what the website said (and more pareticularly did not say), I got a rude response back.
If that is what they call being a valued customer, then I am amazed that anyone buys from them.
I would have liked a clear indication against the product that I was going to buy exactly what its condition was i. E. not new, in damaged box and missing xxx etc.

The product provided did not work and this is the response from Lee
"im not sending item out free of charge, if you dont like it tough. The terms are set on the website and are not for haggling".

Be warned they are not into reasonable Customer Service!

Cordless phone
January 26, 2018

I bought a cordless phone the same model as I already have however it doesn't work and the battery fell apart I had a reply to say they'd sent the battery out now it's not at all and for myself it's not a luxury to have a cordless extension it's a necessity due to a disability it rings I can't answer it or make any calls I'd like a full refund and I'll be in touch with the trading standards
