counterfeit products

I bought a pair of Sennheiser headphones from this company in Jan of this year. Then I read the reviews and panicked. Tried to make contact to no avail. Nonetheless the product turned up!
About 5 days later the headphones broke and I tried to get a replacement.
2 months later they still hadn't responded to my requests, so I contacted Sennheiser uk head office and took the headphones to them. THEY WERE FAKE!!. Sennheiser have promised me a REAL pair as a gesture of goodwill and the saga, I guess, is in the hands of their legal team.

Absolutely shocking company

Delivered item on time, but has breached the sale of goods Act by not responding to communications from me. Hopeless company, please dont make the same mistake I did and order from them!!

DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY

Looking for a replacement XBOX 360 Wireless Controller for my son. This site was the cheapest at £21.99 delilvered, so I ordered.

After starting reviewing then on the t'interent and was not good. I thought I would be clever and call them but just an answer machine, so I emailed, may be after 5-6 times no response.

Thankfully I ordered by Paypal put in a complaint, they had 7 days to respond, did not so I got a refund.

I am unsure if this company/site is a scam or just really rubbish, either way I would suggest all to avoid from my own experience.

Still waiting 3 months and still waiting for a reply...

I ordered a official Xbox controller on the 3rd of December. I have sent several emails and have received no reply. I have tried ringing them but never get an answer when I call. Even better is that I noticed that their telephone number is now missing from their website.

Fraudsters

Bought a pair of headphones 2 weeks ago from these conmen and surprise surprise never received them. In fact I've had no confirmation email and no replies to the countless emails and phonecalls I have made. Thankfully I paid through PayPal so hopefully will get a refund. I have also made a report to "Action Fraud" and would encourage others ripped off by this gang to do the same. If you are thinking of buying anything from this website please do yourself a favour and shop elsewhere...

Cowboys

I ordered an Xbox controller for a bargain price - obviously looking back it really was too good to be true. They said it had been sent, but it never turned up and they didn't reply to any of my attempts to contact them. Finally I was refunded via Pay Pal who they didn't reply to either! I'd advise you to avoid this bunch unless you are really after a cowboy outfit.

never again

wish i'd come here and seen reviews. have never had such awful customer service. 1 reply in about 10 emails. item ordered nearly 2 weeks ago and still not here. 1st class post my arse. wouldn't mind if i thought they were doing something about it as i know these things happen, but am guessing it's the same with everyone. luckily paid with paypal who will hopefully get me my money back. shame the website doesn't pop up with a warning

Total silence

Glad I paid by credit card not PayPal. Thankfully they didn't draw the money within 7 days so now can't do so. No response to communications. Can't log in via Google. I wonder how long they'll be able to go on conning people.

Failure to deliver or communicate

Ordered an xbox wireless controller for my sons birthday on the 25th january its now the 2nd of febuary and his birthday is on the 6th. Getting worried it wont turn up. Not replying to emails or answering the phone. I accept delays happen but communication would make things so much easier and understanding. I have made a claim with paypal as i will need to buy a controller from elsewhere.

Great transaction, would reccomend!

Ordered on the 24th January, got an email the next day saying it had been dispatched - when it got to a week later on the 31st January I hadn't received anything I begun to get worried after seeing this site so i emailed them, I didn't get a response but it arrived today the 2nd February .
They cant be a con website if people are receiving there items.

Dodgy dealers ???

Ordered Wireless Xbox controller on 12th Jan. The email that was returned stated I would be contacted within three days. Nothing heard. Have emailed them but no answer. Have rung them but it goes to either an Orange mobile answer phone or another voice mail service. Do not buy from Foneboy. It appears to be a scam.

Worst customer service ever - avoid this site at all costs

I ordered a Xbox Wireless Controller on 14th January. Today is 22nd January. I have issued several emails via the FoneBoy website (contact us and complaint) asking what's happening with my item. I have left 2 voicemails via their contact phone number. My order status on their website states "authorised", I have received zero communication on this order (I.e. nothing via email to even confirm my order!). I want to purchase my new controller elsewhere but want this issue resolved urgently. Customer service from FoneBoy is pathetic, zero communication from them to their customers!!! I want a full refund immediately!

I have raised a PayPal dispute and contacted IMRG also, since it would appear that this isn't the first time that this website has taken customer money and not delivered!!!

Beware, I think I've been done.

Ordered a keyboard for a Christmas present on the 25th November hoping that was giving plenty of time. It is now the 24th of January and I'm still waiting. Sent various emails, even got IMRG involved, nothing, no replies. Don't waste your money.

absolutely to be avoided

I ordered a Jawbone bluetooth headset on 22nd Dec and paid £44 I've received nothing. Sent 2 emails and attempted to ring everyday for 2 weeks. Does this company really exist or is it a scam. I am now starting a process to recover my money. Please don't buy from them.
