“price is good but very very slow delivery. almost 2 weeks after ordering still no sign of my package and very little useful info on either the valuebasket tracking system of the courier company DPD. Not sure I will use you again.”
Dear Charles,
We would like to express our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and trouble experienced with the order.
Although the item was dispatched from our warehouse on time, there was an unfortunate delay on the shipment as it was on the way to the courier's delivery depot. This shipment was put on hold with customs. Rest assured that our relevant teams and the shipping company are handling the matter. As of the latest update, we were advised that this should be released very soon, and will be arriving at the courier's depot. Once they have received the parcel, they will be contacting you for the final delivery details confirmation.
We appreciate your patience with us and kind understanding on the matter.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for any further concerns.
“I am updating my review after actually recieving the goods I would say the experience was good, apart from that annoying habit of retailers asking for a review before they have delivered the goods, see previous review in brackets.
(I haven't received the goods I purchased so can't rate any higher at this time.)”
Dear James,
Recently checking on our system for the order number specified, as well as the tracking ID provided by the courier, it shows that the parcel had just been delivered and signed for. May we ask if this is confirmed?
If there are any concerns or issues with the parcel or order, please do not hesitate to contact us right away.

“We have ordered 2 phones recently, and both took about a week before they were dispatched. Everything else was fine just need to improve the time between order and dispatch.”
“INDIFFERENCE, NEGLIGENCE, WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY
This is the most disappointing experience with a customer service I ever had in my life.
I ordered a camera and I had to cancel the order because they were taking TOO LONG in sending it.
When I canceled the order because of this, they said they would send it right away what they did. I was happy then.
When the camera was about to reach me ( already in London, five streets from my house) someone from Value Basket ordered to send it back to China again, in spite of my calls and mails. I called DPD courrier in order to stop the return, and they said if VB would give the order they would stop it right away. I telephoned Value Basket three times, send three e mails when the product was in London, only to hear at least five different answers but no one stopped the return in spite it was a whole day hold in London. Why this kind of negligence? Mystery.
I ONLY EXPECT A QUICK AND COMPLETE REFUND.

Dear Sergio,
This is a rather unfortunate incident that happened to the order - rest assured that there will be a thorough check and investigation.
As of the moment, we can confirm that the order was dispatched from our warehouse and was on its way to the courier's delivery depot. On this time, there was a request received to cancel the order. Thus, a delivery cancellation was sent to the courier.
For now, we have requested for confirmation on the parcel's exact location and whether this is indeed on its way back to the warehouse - this has yet to be received.
An agent has been requested to contact you and provide updates on the matter. Once confirmation on the parcel's location has been received from the courier themselves, the refund will immediately be processed.
“Very disappointed. Website advertised 2-3 day delivery. However upon placing the order and making payment, I was advised it would take 8 days.
I needed the camera for holiday and ended up going on holiday without a camera.”

“I suggest you change your delivery company, I have yet to receive my purchase.

“Order number - 813384 - 421760
Faulty Item - Not answering any of my emails!
I'll keep this short and sweet! I ordered a phone from value basket. If there wasn't anything wrong with the phone it would be fine.....
However the phone has a mark on the screen which isn't what I paid for. I'm not someone who normally complains but I have now emailed them 4 times. After answering my first email they have since ignored me.
I would advise everyone not to buy from here...yes it may be cheaper but if your item is faulty then you will spend along time trying to get anyone to answer you, if they answer at all.
Time to start contacting VISA and the police I think...daylight robbery is an understatement!”
Dear Susana,
Please do accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by the delay. Rest assured that we have noted this incident and will be reviewed along with the team handling email queries and responses.
As for the order, we have confirmed that the item was reported to be faulty and that an agent has sent a response on the email query sent. May I ask if this was received, please?

“A couple of days late when my phone arrived. It came with a worldwide charger instead of one specific to UK. I then found the phone cheaper from a high street shop.”

“Difficult to write a review as I do not have the item I ordered 2 weeks ago. Little info available via tracking from Value basket and what is given conflicts with tracking from courier DPD. Helplines give no further info and just blame the other party. Not happy, will not order again and would not recommend if time is important”

“I bought a canon powershot sx60 hs and arrived the July 23th the delivery was good but the even I was excited for the camera it wasn't what I expected, the same day I sent a email saying I wanted to return the item "under the 14 day money back guarantee " I got an automatic response from them and after that someone saying I will get information about what do I need to do but till now I don't have any answer. I read that most of the time they don't return the money and they keep your item and charge you a lot of money just for the return so I am scared because of that. Because I would like the money back to buy a canon eos 1200d from ValueBasket as well. My order is "413703-801149"”

“I received the item. I would appreciate being better informed about what is going on. Tracking will only work a day before delivery as I guess the company ships a pallet to the country and then the courier distributes it. An alternative method of payment such as paypal is essential.”

“The product is what I was expected.
the delivery however is different experience. My 2nd time when I buy from valuebasket and probably the last time. Dpd is simply stupid, I ended up to pick up my item from their depot after 3 days of failing to update my delivery location to a nearby shop and 3 times calling customer service. I simply wanted to cancell the order and buy it again from amazon with a next day delivery for an extra 20-30£
Happy with the product but that's no credit for valuebasket. It's what i was expecting : quality nikon lense”
Dear Costel,
We would like to express our sincere apologies for the inconvenience experienced with the order.

“I found it very difficult to understand what the person was saying and I didn't actually get the answers I wanted. I ordered an iPad on 21st june and was told delivery would be 5-8 working days. It has been 9 days already and apparently it is still not with the courier. I am anxious to receive it ASAP as I bought it to take on a writing holiday leaving July 10th. I still have no definite idea when it will arrive. Not a happy customer at all.”
