DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! We received the hoverboard for Christmas and it never worked. We've been trying to get in touch with them to replace it and no one responds. The email and chat online link don't work. There's no phone number in the US. We disputed the charge and they emailed us and said if we don't pay to send it back, they're sending us to collections. What kind of crap is that? So much for a warranty. So much for excellent customer service. They didn't even respond with a phone number to call them back. STAY AWAY... FAR FAR AWAY!

Charged card immediately. Said free shipping and sent day of order. My order(14 days later) still says "processing". So, it hasn't shipped. Can't get ahold of anyone. Was ordering for my 6 year olds birthday and it never came. Still trying to get ahold of ANYONE to cancel order. Going to have to deal with my cc company to try to get a refund. DO NOT BUY FROM HOVERBOARD. COM.

Do NOT purchase from this company. The hoverboard with minimal use only lasted 6 months. Just outside of warranty. In addition, their customer service is absolutely horrible. They do not answer the phone nor do they respond to emails, voicemails or live chat messages. This is not a COVID related issue it is an issue with an extremely poorly run company!

DO NOT BUY
July 21, 2020

Do not buy from this company. They will charge your credit card the second you purchase something but will never ship it and will not communicate in any way about what is going on with your order. Be prepared to have your money stolen from you if you deal with this company

My son had his hoverboard for one week and it broke. They sent me a battery and did nothing else. It's still broken. Biggest waste of over $200. They don't care and will not help

I purchased a bad out of the box off-road hoverboard. I tried to get an RMA for return and they avoid all emails and phone calls. I spoke with 2 people who said "someone would get back to me" with an RMA who never did. I emailed customer service 4 times requesting an RMA with no response. I'm disputing the charge with my Bank. I already purchased the same hoverboard from Amazon which is what I should have done in the first place. Don't purchase from them! Go to Amazon!

I had the same experience that other reviewers did. Unfortunately I bought before seeing these reviews.

Did anyone ever get their money back?

I am talking to my credit card company, and they suggested sending details to the RCMP (in Canada), who will perhaps declare the product counterfeit or the transaction fraudulent, thereby allowing the card company to get my money back.

We'll see how this works out.

Any success stories out there?

We placed an order on Feb 2018 for a hover board. I checked the delivery status one week later and it indicated the order had been delivered. But we never received this order! We called the customer service immediately and after numerous rounds of emails and calls within the following ten months, we still did not receive the order, nor did we get refunded!

Fraud
January 17, 2018

Ordered hoverboard on 1-11-18. Advertise next day delivery. Was told I would receive an email to track delivery next day and did not. Called again on 1-17-18 and was told same thing but never received an email. Tried calling but only got a message.
Coworker looked up bad reviews and way too many people had horror stories so I contacted my bank who is now filing a fraud dispute. Did not want to wait to late and end up with no hoverboard or getting my money back

HoverBoarder
March 26, 2017

This man stole money from 100's of kids at or around the Christmas season, including 200.00 from me for my daughter present. My bank will not refund the money. This man went as far to sell his condo and buy a new house on our dime. 2445 NW 31 CT OAKLAND PARK FL ******* Is now where he resides ripping people off. I found he has started and dissolved many business' since 2013 all ripping people off. He uses a fake virtual address to validate these business license. He was living right on the beach but I guess he decided to move when he was so easily tracked down. I have mailed him a letter requesting my money back to his new home he just purchased in January. If he doesn't refund me, then I will be making a police report.
