Bought a nintendo switch on 17 Sept but no trace yet. In my account shows order complete though. Sent 3 emails not even any single response of any sort. Lost all hope. Reported paypal but they will wait until 22nd October. Never buy from this fake company. Not sure if I will get my money back or not. I put 1 star as least option.

I have only given one star because I cannot give ZERO stars ! This company feels like a fake business, take your money, 3 weeks and still no delivery, I have lost count the emails and messages I have sent, with not one reply. Shocking shocking experience, pay more money and shop elsewhere for peace of mind. SHOCKING SHOCKING SHOCKING , DO NOT BUY FROM THIS BUSINESS. If you like NO service, NO product, and a shocking buying experience.......... these are your guys !!!!!

I've bought a phone for my mom and when it arrived I realized that all instructions / information written on the box is in Chinese. The phone was in Chinese when I've open it. I've sent an email last week for a refund and to return the item and they haven't replied.

USED not new, no warranty and slow delivery. OK this is not an angry person seeking vengeance, it is honestly written and completely fair, so please take it seriously. I'll break it up into four areas, price, service, delivery and product received. Price - very keen price, £440 for a lens that would cost £670 in Amazon UK. Service - no problems, an initial email which gave a tracking link. The tracking link given covered the overseas only part of the journey. When the lens got to the UK the final info on that original link included another link to track the UK side of things. The information was updated every 24 hours and was understandable and ok. Delivery - A little slow. I have ordered from Hong Kong in the past with digital rev and others, and received delivery within 72 hours. This order took 8 whole days. I ordered on a Sunday afternoon, and delivery was on the following Monday week, afternoon. It was well packaged and intact, more or less. (See product). Product Received. Firstly, the lens had clearly been out of the box. I have bought brand new Tamron lenses before, and the packaging is distinct and factory fresh. This one was plonked back into the polyfoam bag and the cardboard inserts that were inside the box. The bag was crumpled and there were light fingerprints on the body of the lens. I am CERTAIN this was either a return from a customer or a refurbished product. On the box itself, a label on the top had been removed, Size approx 60mm x 25mm and ripping the cardboard while leaving an adhesive residue. I suspect this label would have the relevant information regarding faulty, returned or refurbished product. As it was removed, I will never know. Inspection of the box revealed a crush mark on one side / corner, like a 100mm wide plank of wood (a pallette maybe) had rested on it. The mark ran from one edge towards the centre, reaching halfway. The lens itself seems intact. The autofocus works, as does the limiter switch, the VC modes, the zoom, and the manual focus. That being the case, hopefully it is refurbished and up to Tamrons usual standards. I next registered the 5 year warranty with Tamron, and all I am getting from them is 'This serial number is not recognised on our data base'. I wrote to Tobydeals and 24 hours later a standard pre-written reply arrived, here is the important bit: I am delighted to inform you that we only offer new and original products here at TobyDeals. In order to ensure the quality of the products we offer our customers, we normally inspect a few products from each batch after receiving it from our suppliers. As such, the product needs to be removed from the box during the thorough check. Please be assured that your product is brand new and unused. Conclusion: Used product supplied, possibly a faulty return, though it seems ok on my camera. No Warranty whatsoever, and no acceptance of the true condition of the 'new' lens, and a fairly long delivery (expected that). Up to you if you want to risk it, I read lots of positive reviews in here and thought it would be fine. I wish I had gone to Ebay and paid a little more from a reliable supplier. My advice? Run a mile, DON'T DO IT!

I had to cancel my order after 21 single day of waiting. what a terrible experience I had with these people. there is no way you can speak with someone. in this 21st century you have to wait 3 days for an email reply from them. they shouldn't be allowed to trade with the UK. please be aware they are not based in UK. phone will be shipped from china and cost a lot to return it.

Bought two phones at end of July and still waiting. No updates from Tobydeals. Been trying to get in touch and all I get is promises that phones will be dispatched shortly. Asked for my money back but just being ignored. Proper scam company. No money and no phones! Never buy from them!

This item has arrived and is obviously not new. There were no instructions included and there is some sticky residue on the arm of the gimbal where some kind of sticker or branding has come off. The box also shows signs of wear all around despite having been securely packaged. This item has arrived obviously used! Customer service has been awful. Terrible experience!!!!!!!!!

Do NOT buy through this company based on our experience I bought a Dyson V8 from Toby Deals, the product basically did not work properly it was intermittent and very poor suction. Toby will not replace, repair or refund this product. Our experience with Toby Deals is very poor

Do not do it! This is grey market and they should make that clear and explain to consumers. Google are a disgrace for giving them such prominent advertising. I unfortunately bought first before researching, but when I got a weird evasive, ambiguous email receipt in poor English I was suspicious and decided to explore further. The prices are about 20% cheaper, but guess why - because you pay no VAT as they import Chinese merchandise without paying any duty. It is a completely grey area and you as the consumer are liable if customs decided to impound it. You have no guarantee when and if it will arrive, you have no consumer rights, no guarantee and very little recourse. It will take forever to get to you if it makes it and you won't have a clue what's going on in the meantime. Most worrying of all if like me you need a phone and fast you have no idea whether it will actually be genuine and work in the UK when it arrives. None of this is explained on the website. It really isn't worth the hassle. Should have gone to John Lewis!

I purchased a Sansung A5 from them but was unable to send or receive MMS messages plus when the call signal was weak(1 or 2 bars) while I could hear everyone perfectly I could not be heard. My SIM worked perfectly in other phones. I returned the phone and they messages back that there was nothing wrong with the phone and if I wanted it back I had to pay £30 or they would dispose of it. Total ripp off company, be very wary do not do business with this Hong Kong based company. Since complaining to them and requesting they examine the phone again they have not replied. Also took the phone to Samsung here in the UK and they said they could not help as it was a phone from out of Europe made an Arab State country.

Sent me broken box with Samsung Galaxy phone. No communication within 2 weeks. Force to send it back to Hong Kong. I have to pay shipment and charge. Avoid this cons from first minute!

I tried to cancel the lens immediately after placing the order, this was ignored and it was sent a week later. I did not even receive it and they said it was sent to the wrong address and then returned to their warehouse. Because of this they wanted to charge me a £20 admin fee and £22 shipping fee, meaning I would only be refunded a third of what I paid. This matter also took 4 months to resolve! Fortunately, I reported it to PayPal and they gave me a full refund. TobyDeals are nothing short of lazy criminals.
