MobileFun NZ Reviews Summary

The company presents a mixed reputation, with some customers appreciating competitive pricing and product availability. However, a significant number of reviews highlight critical concerns regarding misleading shipping practices, as many customers were unaware that orders shipped from the UK, leading to long delivery times and a lack of tracking. Customer service has been described as slow and unresponsive, with difficulties in obtaining refunds or support. Overall, while there are positive mentions of product quality, the prevalent sentiment reflects frustration over transparency and service reliability, prompting customers to recommend purchasing from local suppliers instead.

No delivery
March 4, 2023

We ordered 4 iphone cases on the 6th Feb assuming this company was shipping within NZ, its not a NZ company. Despite paying for tracked delivery 3-6 days we still have not received any goods a month later. The tracking number is a uk one so goods are being shipped from there, and all it says is 'sorry there was a problem, please try again later'. We don't know even if goods were ever shipped.

Poor Services
February 26, 2023

Made an order, they claim they have sent it. Almost been 4 weeks now and have had no work on order. Asked for a refund then asked me to return the item for the refund (which I obviously never received). WORSE STORE I have ever dealt with. Unprofessional, unethical and immoral. Do not recommend.

20 days, so far no order arrived yet!
February 13, 2023

I placed an order on the 29th of January for 5 items, 1 of which I knew would be in stock in 2 days their site said. That week, Tuesday evening (at about midnight!) I got an email from their customer support saying one item is out of stock and would be another week before it would be back in stock, so I replied changing the Item for something similar. At this point I realized every communication from them was about 12 hrs apart. So I got an email from them at 11:44pm 2nd Feb asking for more money for the item change, by the time I payed the extra amount for a different item, at 12:45am 3rd Feb, there was no more from them till 4th Feb 6am, (more than 24 hrs later) saying my order had been dispatched. They could have just sent the other items straight away while the out of stock item was being sorted out! I have since emailed them (10th Feb) asking where my order is, I have no tracking number. All they said was when it was dispatched and it could take up to 25 business days to arrive and thats with stock in the country. As I write this its 13th Feb and still no order, don't know when it will arrive. Plus they have NO phone number and email replies seem to be about 12 hrs apart. NOT good enough. Definitely do Not recommend dealing with this company!

I purchased a phone case, assuming it would ship quickly because the website is ". co.nz", however, the actual location of the phone cases are in Britain, meaning it took around a month to get here.
When you do purchase something, it is done through their own software, they are too miserly to use Windcave, or any other modern payment system that prevents duplicate payments. When trying to pay, the website suddenly became unresponsive, and required the use of a VPN to actually access the site. However, despite showing "Loading" and being unaccessible, each time the button was clicked, a payment order was created, i. E., I got 3 invoices for the same order, (I ordered in November 2021, today is 27/01/2022). I tried to refund the two duplicate payments, but they only refunded one, and asked me to pay AGAIN, through Paypal, in order to get my goods. This would have left me having paid ~$300 dollars (2/3 non-refunded + the paypal payment), for the original order which would have just cost ~$100. I never received a shipping notification, and never recieved that particular order.

Do not trust this website, it says nz but it is uk based, they have taken $40 out of my account after I paid for my phone case which was $56. They use MICROSOFT1 as a billing account. Very sneaky!

** NOT a NZ company **
October 3, 2021

If you're ordering from NZ thinking the website www.mobilefun.co.nz is in NZ. IT'S NOT!

This website is an online shop Based in U. K. There's a physical Mobile Fun store based in Dunedin according to Facebook. I ordered on 6th September and it has been 4 weeks and still nothing. No tracking details, no updates. After 3 weeks I enquired via email and they replied back that it left their Warehouse the day after my order was confirmed and that the "delivery service" I picked didn't offer tracking. LUCKILY i only ordered a phone case, but the transaction was around $36 in total - but money is money and I've paid for something that probably will never arrive so I've wasted that money.

The website has no indication that it's operating and being managed outside of NZ so they are extremely deceiving.

NOT AN NZ COMPANY!
April 13, 2021

Do not use this company! Was completely deceived by the. co.nz URL otherwise I would not have ordered from this company. Ordered a screen protector for my S20e as I was getting the screen repaired and wanted the protector ASAP to prevent me from breaking it again hopefully. But 3 weeks later and this has not arrived yet plus no tracking on the parcel!

Dont use this site
March 21, 2021

I ordered my phone cover 3 weeks ago, still no sign of it. I did not realize it was UK based. Do not order from this site if you hope to get your order.

I purchased two Macbook Pro screen protectors but received it in the post to see the product opened (package was not opened) and only ONE film side. They are slow at replying and do not have proper contact details, like a contact number. They are using the. co.nz link to deceive New Zealanders and this is unacceptable.

The. co.nz url makes you think it's a New Zealand based company when in reality it is not, they ship from the United Kingdom. I paid $8.50 for shipping thinking it was coming from somewhere in New Zealand where this would be a tracked shipping option, but it was not tracked. It has been 6 weeks and I still have not received the item I ordered, when I can order items from China off a site like Aliexpress (which is infamous for having long shipping times) and have them arrive before this order has. I have no idea where my order is due to it not being tracked too. I would recommend buying from a New Zealand based company if you need or want the order within a week. Or two. Or a month.

Not a. co.nz website
December 23, 2020

Buyer beware. This is a UK based website posing as an NZ based site with. co.nz at the end of the URL. International mail from the UK has not been being sent for some time now and if I ever receive the item I purchased, it'll probably be next Christmas. Don't get fooled by the. co.nz URL.

Hey guys, as noted on many other reviews. Their products get shipped from the UK through the US and then to NZ. They charge $40 for DHL Express delivery that should take 3-4 business days (as stated on their website). But in reality it takes 3-4 weeks.

This is where the issue is with many people. Its clear they are clipping the ticket by charging you $40 for DHL Express delivery but sending your package through DHL Economy (slower but cheaper method). As a first time customer. I'm pretty disappointed. I will not be using them again.

I've waited 18 business days (or basically about 3 whole weeks) and still the product I purchased hasn't arrived? I emailed them after about 15 days (which they say should be the maximum number of days before it arrives) and they said to contact them again if it still hasn't arrived. I did so and 24 hours later still haven't heard back from them, nada, zip, zilch. WARINING: Do not deal with these guys unless you want to get ripped off!

I bought 2 Veho M2 speakers so that I could run them in twin stereo mode. Unfortunately, after several days of tinkering I've not been able to get the speakers to pair with each other.

Neither Mobile Fun nor Veho have been helpful. Customer services responses are extremely slow and, so far, useless.

I have found no help pages, forums or troubleshooting guides anywhere. If I'd realised how little support there was for these speakers I would not have bought them.

I purchased these through the New Zealand Mobile Fun website and I now face the tedious prospect of having to return them to the UK. I am not happy at all.

Never had any issues with the site being in England, the freight times have always been as expected for snail mail, goods always arrived well packaged and as described/selected. Have used these guys on many occasions in the last 3 years and never had any problems personally. Mal

Misleading
September 26, 2019

As has been mentioned in other reviews, this is not a NZ based company despite the. co.nz URL. And I would not order from them again.
