“Cheap is their only feature. I’ve already written feedback to them before being prompted to write this review. I received no response from that - which is about two weeks ago - and I did raise serious concerns in the spirit of trying to give constructive criticism. Being as charitable as I can, I might assume there is no one on their end who is able to effectively communicate in English - there’s no evidence anyone can because the only communications I had were in the from of stock replies/information which were on the whole pretty vague and unhelpful. Where to start? The buying process itself is not so slick - I had to reregister with a second email to process the order that I’d made, the clearest indication my second attempt was successful was the funds going from my bank account. Then the statements of progress on the order which come eventually. "Your order is being processed”. “You order is being picked”. “Your order is being picked by the courier” and son on… with no indication as to where any of this is going on. While the goods were in transit, I’d no idea which country they were in - whether still in Hong Kong, en route or in the UK. The whole process took about twelve days - which was a bit longer than the turnaround they promised, but it wouldn’t have been a problem if I had some sort of clear expectation. I just got repeat emails telling me their expected turnaround time which was fulfilled in time from the date of processing - it’s just the date of processes sing took around a week from the order being placed. They did notify me [the courier which was DPD] the day they were due to be delivered - at my work address. My hear immediately sank when I saw who the courier was. I’d had something due via them the week before and it seems they expend little or no effort in attempting to deliver to business addresses - I had to make a thirty-odd mile round trip to their depot the week before to pick up my goods. Having ordered going on for £1700 worth of gear from Eglobal, I was waiting downstairs at the door for the duration of the hour delivery slot window. Toward the end of that time I received a text from DPD advising me the goods had been dropped off - at an address two roads away parallel. It turns out it was at some random sweet shop which I eventually found by trial and error [only one of the premises on this high street actually had a number on the door and it wasn’t the shop in question]. It turns out DPD do this quite regularly. Another thing not mentioned in any of their advertising is that you’re likely to get manuals in Chinese and not only that, if you’re buying a camera, it’s likely that the menu system will also be set to Chinese. It can of course be reset, but you can’t find out how to do that from the manual unless you can understand Pinyin [Chinese letter forms]. A web search and an eye for the symbols worked it out. In the end I got my goods, I saved a few quid, but customer care is next to zero. In fact the lens cleaning kit promised wasn’t in the package - not a big deal, but I did flag this in the email I sent them, which has never been responded to. Heaven help me if I need to contact them over a warranty issue. In the end it comes down to how important the savings are to you - I’d suggest unless it’s very important, you can save yourself some stress by going virtually anywhere else. Eglobal is not a scam - I did receive all the items I ordered [without the ‘free gift’] but it wasn’t a very positive experience other than the price.”

“I bought a Dyson product, they sent me a US version and an adaptor plug. Dyson will not give it a Warranty as the charger is not appropriate. They have not responded to my emails. I wish I had read the other reviews before buying from them. Avoid at all cost.”

“I ess worried for awhile after read reviews but turned out that except for a short delay of dispatching the phone I’ve bought all perfect. Well packed and brand new. Took about 3 weeks to get in my hands after purchasing but worth it. At my prospective they are trustworthy.”

“I ordered and got a mobile phone which keeps freezing. I did factory resetting and firmware update. It still freezes. Contacted them but they are asking me to film the problem and sort out doing what I did already. I can't film because obviously, I don't have a phone to film the new phone. Setting a link to let them see the filmed video.... I don't know how to. They are going to sort out the phone problem...??? but I don't want to use the phone already has big problems not smoothly even start with the first set before even start using. I thought I have the right to return the item if I am not happy with it within a certain period. I already neatly packed it but their response is not good and days can go by quickly then I may lose 200 pounds... Worrying”

“Good People in the UK, do not use this company whatever you see. You have heard of that saying "if it is too good to be true" well remember that saying. All the products come from Hong Kong and are either fake, faulty or stolen. The guarantees are not worth the paper its written on and the manufacturer of the products will not cover the item if it is purchased from China or Hong Kong. I purchased a pair of RHA wireless headphones and when they arrived they looked perfect except for the bar code. When i contacted RHA in Scotland, they stated that they did not sell their headphones into Hong Kong and would not guarantee the product if they went wrong or required repair. They were £35 cheaper from HK. But what a job I had trying to get my money back. I paid the postage and insured them and they deducted me £17.00 from the original price for handling the goods which were probably stolen to order. If you have money to throw away, then please continue to use this company. If not. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.”

“FAULTY MICROSOFT SURFACE BOOK Bought 2 phones from this company in the past with no issues so I then bought a Microsoft surface book last month. Day I received it had to contact eglobal as it would not charge. They did not respond after 3 emails so I contacted PayPal. Eglobal only started responding to me after PayPal got involved. Cut & long & stressful story short they instructed me to return it tracked and signed. They refused to cover this cost as they said once a case was open with Paypal they would not pay. Cost me £95.87 to return item to them . Requested an exchange & not a refund but just got a refund with no explaination (via Paypal) Take good advice guys and pay a bit extra to buy what you want in this country where you have real rights as a consumer and a proper guarantee that the goods you buy are of merchantable quality.”

“Bought a Nokia 8 from eGlobal, didn't realise that they weren't Uk based so I was a bit concerned whether I'd actually receive the phone. The phone arrived a few days after order was placed, it was well packed and brand new. I've read some bad reviews about this company but for me they were superb, fantastic Price's, super fast delivery and great communication. I was very impressed with their service.”

“I bought a camera in July and was pleased with this and left a positive review. I went to use my camera last week and when I turned it on the lens stayed stuck in the zoom position. When trying to contact customer services - this is a nightmare - it is based in Hong Kong, they want you to video a fault - rather than a photograph - poor English communication and then I have to return a faulty camera at my own expense to Hong Kong. I would definitely NOT recommend buying from this company as there is no/poor customer service once purchased. I will wait to see what the latest response is but will then be raising the case with Pay Pal.”

“Genuine product but they can be more honest about the delivery time I ordered a Xiomi mi8 from eGlobal Central UK. The website mentioned 6-8 days of delivery time. However, even until the 20th day, I did not receive my phone. The message in the link they provided for tracking showed the same message each day that said something like "There is some issue and they are working with all parties to resolve it". I sent them a message but to no response. This made me doubt the genuineness of the company. Hence, I also reported to PayPal for the money back. Today I finally received my product. The phone seems great. The box was sealed. I checked the authenticity of the phone and it is a totally genuine product. I give eGlobal Central 3 stars for the good product and deduct 2 stars for the wrong information they have on their website about delivery time.”

“I ordered a phone as it was what I wanted and a great price. After reading the reviews online I was worried with all the negative comments but my concerns were completely unfounded the phone arrived in good time in A1 perfect condition and securely packaged. The the UPS tracking number given was good as I could see the delivery route and timescale and was able to accept delivery in person on the day. One other thing was that the monies sent only debited my account after the delivery was completed a refreshing change in this day and age when companies take your money and then deliver days or weeks after.”

“Take more than a week to despatch in stock item. Not responding to emails. No communication. No customer care number. Better buying from local retailer.”
