Sent a faulty watch in December 23
June 12, 2024

I purchased a watch on their website in December 2023. The watch came with a fully depleted battery, they agreed in compensating their fault but never did, after that stopped responding emails and blocked me out their social media. Not a trustworthy seller.

AVOID - been waiting on a refund for 5 months
March 27, 2024

Ordered a watch back in December, arrived in January but then decided to return the watch as didn't like it. Had to pay £13 handling fee for transfer to the Netherlands. Its now end of March and this company claims that they have not received the returns item even though I have evidence to claim that the item had arrived at an intended returns address. Avoid dealing with this company at all costs.

Dear Al,

Thank you for your message.

Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure the safe return of any package to us. This includes securing the shipment and filing any necessary claims with the shipping company you used for the return.

It is quite astonishing that despite having received free shipping on your initial order, you now expect us to take responsibility for the loss of the package you sent back. Our records do not show receipt of the returned item, and it is the sender’s duty to track and insure their return packages.

We have fulfilled our obligations by providing clear return instructions and timely responses. The handling fee you paid is a standard charge for international returns and does not cover shipping insurance, which is recommended for such situations.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Juan Angel

Not recommended at all
January 30, 2024

One of the worst experience as they are not professional at all. My watch stopped working and they are bargains to replace and it takes them till now 1 month of communication and because I left 1 star review about them they said we will not replace the watch unless you remove the one star review.
Don't deal or buy from them as they are really not professional

Dear Nader,

Thank you for your feedback.

We would like to address the situation clearly. The battery in your watch stopped working more than a year after your purchase. Despite this, we offered you several options to resolve the issue, all of which you declined. It is unfortunate that you are now using reviews as a method of coercion, which we do not tolerate.

We do not accept any form of blackmail and strive to provide professional and fair service to all our customers. Our goal is always to resolve issues amicably and professionally.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Great watch!

I bought a Casio Edifice EQB 1000 from TicTacArea with free shipping. Shipping did not take too long to Canada (8 days) and there was no additional charge. The watch is brand new with tags and original box. Thank you!

This is the third time I purchased from tictacarea.com. All the Casios I bought from them have the lowest price even compared to eBay. Shipping is free but takes a little while to arrive from Spain (about 2 weeks to Canada, then 5-7 days within Canada after released by customs). I got away from duties the first time only, but this has nothing to do with the seller. Overall excellent and reliable service!

I purchased a Fossil strap from TicTacArea and as per online tracking everything went ok, it reached the destination country Toronto/Canada, but the parcel was never delivered to my door.
I immediately contacted the local post office. They did investigate and considered it lost.
I contacted TicTacArea and asked that they send me another watch strap.
The communication with TicTacArea customer service was great. They were patient, listened to me, and there was no delay in the email communication.
They send me a new stripe and this time I got it. Thank You TicTacArea!
Based in my experience I highly recommend TicTacArea.

My second GA-2100 'Casiok' purchase.
Another very positive experience shopping with the TicTac Area Team, well priced, regular shipping updates and delivery time was very reasonable.
Order number three is already on its way!
Thanks again TicTac Area Team.

Tictacarea have since re-sent my delivery
December 6, 2022
Updated review

Tictacarea eventually responded to my several emails and arranged for a re-delivery of my order. However, I had to pay for DHL courier service to ensure that the parcel didn't get lost again.
I then had to pay customs as well. The G-shock watches were well packed and beautiful - both working so far. The swatch case didn't close well and the watch itself was dusty. But I am happy with the G-shocks so far. Just be warned when purchasing that you will be liable for costly DHL courier fees if you want delivery to be more reliable, as well as your country's customs fees.

Hi Ameree R.,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during the process.

We're glad to hear that you are satisfied with the G-Shock watches and that they arrived in good condition. However, we regret that your experience with the Swatch watch and the initial delivery issues did not meet our usual standards.

Your feedback is invaluable, and we're continuously working to improve our services, including better communication and packaging standards. We understand that international shipping and customs fees can be a hassle, and we are exploring ways to make this smoother for our customers.

Thank you for your continued support and for choosing TicTacArea.com. If you have any further concerns or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Best regards,
The TicTacArea.com Team 🌟


DON'T TRUST THIS UNSCRUPULOUS, THIEVING COMPANY!

Previous review

I placed an order for the first time in April 2022 - to date there has been no delivery and no communication. Upon my own queries with the Courier - I was told that the delivery investigation was concluded on their side and it was deemed "missing" and they told me they compensated Tictacarea, but to date I have not received a refund despite NUMEROUS requests, and they are completely ignoring my emails! This is tantamount to ROBBERY!

Non refunded watch
March 28, 2024

I've purchased a £55 cost watch, but because the description didn't give all details (like the watch's radius) the watch was to small on twist. The delivery time had longer than 10 days, and when I've tried, and I've contacted with the customer service, I've run out of the 14 DAYS, what's the refund policy. Luckily someone is helped to me, and he has agreed to the refund, so I've sent it back, BUT some MF is refused my parcel, so I've lost my watch, and the post cost as well.
Thank you TicTac area!
FU!

Dear Customer,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We understand that you faced some challenges with your recent purchase. However, I must clarify that the details of our products, including size specifications, are thoroughly outlined in our product descriptions. The extended delivery time you experienced was due to choosing our free shipping method, which generally takes longer compared to our express options, as clearly mentioned on our website​​​​.

Regarding your refund request, it's important to highlight that our refund policy clearly states a 14-day window for returns. Despite this, we made an exception and accepted your return well beyond this period as a gesture of goodwill​​. It's quite disconcerting to see that you have taken issue with the return process when it was your responsibility to follow the provided return instructions accurately. The refusal of your parcel happened because it was not compliant with the return guidelines, which were communicated to you​​.

At TicTacArea, we prioritize clear communication and transparency with our customers, and our records show that all necessary information was provided to you in a timely manner. We have already extended considerable assistance to you beyond our standard policies.

It is unfortunate to see your message end with a rude and disrespectful remark. This lack of courtesy is neither warranted nor appreciated.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Juan Angel

Spec's don't match the product
August 16, 2023

I ordered a watch from tictacarea, but the watch did not match the description of the product in their website. When I requested to return the product I was told that I received the watch I ordered but the description was incorrect. I guess I should have known that the watch was not going to match the description on the website. The 2 pictures I am adding will show the original description of the watch and the new one that the company added after my request to return the watch. Not a reputable company. Compare the features in both descriptions.

Dear Richard,

Thank you for your feedback.

We would like to clarify that you received the exact model shown in the photo, with the correct reference number and EAN code. The product you received matches the image, model number, and code specified in your order. It appears there was an error in the product description on our website.

To provide an analogy, this situation is similar to purchasing a car. Imagine ordering a Skoda, with its specific model, reference, and price all clearly shown. However, the description mistakenly states it is a Ferrari. Upon receiving the Skoda at the price of a Skoda, you then complain that it is not a Ferrari. Despite the incorrect description, the item received is precisely what was depicted and referenced.

We understand this may have caused some confusion, but we assure you that the correct item, as shown in the image and identified by its model and code, was delivered to you.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Juan Angel

Stock item on website (Skagen watch band). Placed order, card charged, then told it's a special order. 3 weeks later, still not shipped, and no communication from them. I canceled order and got a full refund. I appreciate that they did that, and didn't continue to waste my time saying that the order would be shipped (eventually.) Simply should have stated on the product page that this was backordered or a special order - would not have have a dissatisfied customer.

Dear Richard,

Thank you for your feedback.

We want to clarify that all customers who order a watch band receive an email stating that it can take up to four weeks to be shipped and that the item may no longer be in production. We are surprised that you did not understand the clearly worded email we sent you.

After receiving a full refund, it is disappointing to see you leave a damaging review with such intentions. We strive to provide transparent communication and appreciate your understanding.

Great Watch
February 11, 2022

Really happy with the service I got. Asked a couple of questions via email before ordering and got a quick and efficient reply. No import duties or additional taxes to pay either so that was good. It's a fantastic watch packed full of useful features. Highly recommended.

Bought a Fossil necklace which lasted exactly a week. So I got in touch with them asking for a solution and got one reply asking for photos, which i did sent immediately... and then nothing, even after several reminders from my side.
This is poor (or better no) customer service at all. This company only seems to be interested in the quick buck.

BIG SCAM!
March 15, 2023

DO NOT order a Lladro from this company. THEY ARE ONE BIG SCAM. There prices are lower than others for a reason. They have poor packaging which in my case the product arrived broken. They have done nothing to answer my call or reply to my email to fix the problem over a period of 3 months. As a matter of fact, I have tried calling during their business hours and NO ONE answers and you can't leave a message. The CEO Juan Carlos makes promises but does nothing to follow through. STAY FAR AWAY! THEY WOULD GET NO STARS FROM ME, BUT THE SYSTEM DOES NOT ALLOW.

My story starts like this: i bought a watch from them 1 and half month ago. I said first time is a problem with shipping during the covid situation, and i try contact them for some more details but nothing happens. No answers at emails, no answers on the phones, nothing. I have much better experience with private sellers from another sites like Ebay, AliExpress etc.If you look at site description you will say is a very good place to buy but at the end is just a scam. Please stay away for your safety

Complete scam, avoid!
April 24, 2021

Been waiting since I placed my order in October 2020, one parcel sent never arrived in Canada despite claims that it had, second replacement shipment never got further than a label having been made. I have sent close to a dozen emails trying to get something done with TicTacArea and they have been completely uncooperative. It is now nearing the end of April and all of my requests for a full refund have been ignored completely. Avoid these scammers unless you want to be without your money and have nothing to show for it.

This is a scam site
September 7, 2021

They will give you the run around and never ship your item (like in my case) or ship a broken or completely different thing. Stay far away.
Update: Tictacarea claims this is a fake review. But the site has confirmed my order. Otherwise, this would be removed once Tictacarea tried to lie and flag the review. Instead of trying to lie to potential customers, own your faults and mistakes and change for the better..

They provide me tracking number which shows only label created they even didn't ship my items. I will call my credit company to get refund due to not responding. I really had worst experience whit them.

Slow delivery
December 10, 2020

Please don't buy from this company. As soon as they received your money and shipped out the order, the customer service basically ends there. If your order is delayed or didn't arrive in the time frame, they will keep telling you that they shipped the order on time and there's nothing they would do. They will blame you for choosing free shipping and it's not their fault. Even if you ask them to do something they will say that that's what you get for choosing free shipping. And yes they offer DHL service but the price is very expensive and the overall price will not be cheap anymore. Stay away from this company.
