Has anyone been scammed by zestads.com?? I ordered some drones from them.Cant get in touch with them can’t find a tracking or shipping number or status..It’s like the company disappeared after my order! No way to get in touch with them as they won’t respond to emails.. PayPal rejected my first attempt to refund and I’m awaiting an appeal and think I got scammed over 200 dollars... WTF??

Did you file a dispute for non receipt of item?

I was also scammed. Same exact situation and PayPal backed company since Zestads did not send me any documentation or receipts to prove my case. I am out $233.89.

Same here. Cannot get a hold of them, their site on my paypal receipt is actually for sale.  I hope Paypal will do the right thing here and refund everyone.

No, I lost all the money. The scam company Zestads also goes by Perfectremains. They advertised a drone that was amazing..and able to withstand a baseball bat..pick up large objects and take video. The product I eventually received fits in my hand and could not fly, Cheaply made did not take video I have to somehow attach my own phone!..stupid. This thing could not pick up a gerbil. I could have purchased from a toy store for $20. But would never have bought this because it is so cheaply made Websight down and the product came from Asia. Not as described at all.

Chinese Web Sites or on Facebook easy to spot so buyer beware.

1. No return address on the returns policy............thats because the site will look as if its in your country (where they despatch goods from) BUT they will ask for returns to go back to China (returns depot) at a shipping cost nearly always more than the item is worth.
2. No contact telephone number............if you click on contact the most you will get is webmail or an email address.
3. No company address information.
4. Great looking items at bargain prices that turn out to be tat.

HOWEVER you may still have the option to do a charge back if you funded your paypal payment via a credit card.
Also Paypal may contribute towards return costs IF you have activated the below link (if available in your country).

I had used the email in PayPal to email the company that I have not yet received my package. I had ordered one drone. Within one hour they had responded to my email with a tracking number.

Scam

I got scammed on the 20th January 2020 for 1,170.96 EUR by this company for some strange product I never ordered. Do not buy from this company. Lucky for me they used  ....... for the transaction. They certainly do not deserve any stars.
The reply (which is below) was  a from a robot generated reply system from Tadeinn RETAIL SERVICES,SL. This further proves they are scammers. They expect me to provide them with order details when I don't have any, because I never ordered anything from them. Hope some one can work that out.
