I would recommend everyone to steer clear of this company. I ordered a phone from them and when it arrived it was badly damaged. They then tried to claim that as the courier had rejected the claim they couldn't help with a refund. Absolutely shocking! Will be pursuing a claim through Paypal as I had paid via them!

I am sorry to hear of your predicament. Disputing the transaction through PayPal is the right step forward. It may take a while before you get a resolution. as the seller purposefully delays responses because they know how the system works. If you are asked to send the item back, insist that you send it to a UK address (they do have one!). Hope this issue gets sorted for you soon. I know how painful and annoying it can be...

 

I hope someone can shut down these fraudsters!

Hey everyone... I am bricking it at the moment. I have just bought a freaking Samsung Note 9 with Toby Deals. I seen all the bad experiences on here and I am mega worried, I have paid through PayPal so hopefully if things go wrong I have some protection. Has anyone else got a note 9 and received. I will try and keep people posted

I have been waiting into the second month, I paid through PayPal. Received an email today that I won’t be getting a refund because I made my credit card bank aware of the scam. PayPal is not a Bank, had I used my credit card, the money would be credited back to my account whilst they investigate the purchase, it’s what British Banks do, protects its customers against scammers, using a UK address but based in Hong Kong. They love it when you pay by PayPal. Post your concerns if they let you?

I have ordered Panasonic Lumix TZ90 camera and paid $306 5 days ago (2019/01/25). And for those 5 days I was wondering about the outcomes of this good deal...Today (2019/01/30) the camera was delivered to the door by DHL from Hong Kong (to NC) - perfectly packaged! So I think I was "fairly compensated" by saving $100-150! Thanks!

Like a fool I have put an order in with tobys deals without reading reviews first. My fault but not like me not to read reviews. If nothing comes of my order then PayPal will hopefully be my saviour. I think they get your attention by there prices on there deals. Always read the small print haha who does. One of the things that got me was the UK on there Toby's deals UK. I am the mug here. Let's see if my goods turn up

Hi everyone I have only just noticed I never updated on my Note 9 situation. Well I am typing this on my Note 9 so obviously I received the item. In the end it was a case I ordered causing the issue....the case was out of stock but the phone wasn't....so the whole order got knocked back. Not all good though....anything goes wrong with this phone then I am done for as Samsung will not even touch it, I got a genuine check on it by samsung and they said it is a genuine Samsung product but not from my region meaning they will not warranty the item. I got some my own protection on the phone but it Samsung said even they might not want to fix it depending what goes wrong with but at least its covered for theft. New saga though. I recently purchased a Ipad Pro and a pair of Airpod pros for my wifes 30th because apple themselves said I would be able to purchase apple care for both items if I got from them on TobyDeals. When you order with them they ask for about 3 to 4 days for the item to be dispatched. On the 5th day no email of dispatch, so I emailed them...no answer. 6th day no email of dispatch and I emailed them again, explained I need the item asap to purchase apple care.....ignored it again. Yesterday I had the same issue so this time i emailed them and told them they have 30 days at the very most to get the item to me or I will be returning it even if it gets here, explained apple care gives me a certain amount of days after purchase to buy apple care, so if I can't cover it then the item is useless to me. I also reminded them that I played paypal and I have no problem opening a claim if need so......6 hours later I received a order is been packed notifaction, usually a day later they send me a dispatched email after packing....so we will wait and see. Moral of the story.....give them a deadline and a consequence, then remind them you payed on paypal and you will get somewhere. Also my next phone I am getting from a company called wowcamera....they are a little more than TobyDeals but they advertise valid Samsung warranty and you get it....I purchased my wifes s10 from there and gave samsung her serial number ect for genuine check and they confirmed it has warranty even though it's not a Samsung recommended retailer. Also if you want these low prices wait till black friday....samsung put their £1000 Note 10 plus 5g for £550 on black friday....not seen anyone sell that price before. Also worth noting that Samsung has pulled all phones, tablets, headphones ect off TobyDeals...so that must be bad. I would say I will update you on the iPad situation but I will probably forget for 2 years and then update you....so I will see you all then

I have been waiting two weeks for my Smartwatch, they won’t reply to my emails and their tracking looks bogus.

Update... on my experince.... I heard nothing for 2 weeks emailed them twice a week and still nothing. So the last email I sent, I pressed the little speech bubble sign on the actual website and finally got a reply. I ordered a case with my Note and the case is out of stock till the 23rd of October and need to give them a bout a week and half and the processing time and my order will be sent out. So mid November and I should get my order. If anyone is worried go to the bottom of the web page and it says shipping l, press it and there are full details how orders are handled.....work out you need to give 7 working days after your order before your notified of Dispatch. Also I spoke to someone on PayPal and they advised that I gave it 20 days, email them, then give them 3 days.....if still no reply contact PayPal. Main point of this long comment is use the speech bubble on the actual website and give them a few days. Hope this helps

This is the third week waiting for my Smartwatch, I have emailed repeatedly without any answer. I will never use them again. Tried to get through to PayPal Dispute, they could not help at present. I am sick of dealing with these people. Better to buy through your proper bank, they deal with potential fraud FASTER.
