Fake tracking and lack of legit comms
First issue, you buy from the UK website yet they still ship from Germany. On the plus I had no issues with any attempts to pay import duty when it finally arrived.
On order it advised about 4 days, the order was taken no issues and about 1am next day received the 'Your order is on its way' email. Great I thought, won't even take the 4 days.
I actually thought nothing more about it, hadn't even realised we are at the 4 days or beyond, but a whole week later (order placed on a Thursday) on the following thursday I receive text from UPS to state it'd be delivered between 9.45 and 13.45 Friday. So overdue.
So delivery day, 2pm passes, 3pm passes and nothing. No comms from UPS or Auna. I try the link in the UPS text and it's a dead link, I go back to my Auna follow up emails and try following the tracking via that. Issue here is, it's poor. Some very poor and vague translations into English so no help at all other then saying there's an issue. So I email them, and I'm also now suspicious about this being a genuine auna site given lack of contact, fake UPS tracking and their own being what it is, saying I need some affirmation this is on it's way etc, or I will instigate a charge back.
Nothing except automated emails which are not exactly proof of legitimacy.
I randomly refreshed an alternative way of tracking via UPS other than the text links, and having heard nothing off either by midnight on the failed delivery day, this now had refreshed and said delivery on Monday, but again no offer from either of valid reasoning or apology.
Then randomly it appeared Saturday.
Overall its a complete farce, a furher 2 days later and I still have not had a reply from Auna with either reason or apology.
As much as their kit is decent and works and looks great in my hifi set up, I wouldn't buy auna again based on this service, as my fear is, if it needed to be returned, repaired or replaced under warranty they would ghost you as they are doing in relation to the delivery issues.
