Radio had issues, awesome customer support

Radio had issues. All issues except one was fixed. Sent a replacement (didn't have to give back old one), which had the same issue. Ended up with a partial refund, and two mostly working radios, and very good price. Highly recommend. You can be assured that your radio will either work completely as described, a full refund, or a mix of both.

A company that has no regards for customers and rude.

I find incredible that this company has 4.9 stars.
THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE.
When things gets tough they duck out and they do not answer anymore.
I am an electronic engineer with quite a bit of knowledge in RF, it appears that I am disturbing and is better to shut me down.
The DM 32 UV , when you take the battery out EXTREMELY CLEARLY says that it goes to 480 MHZ.
Moreover their official printed manual on top of page 53 very clearly states V00 TX to 480 MHZ.
Now they say no but an RX channel/s can be input beyond 470 Mhz but it does not work.\
I asked again and no answers of any kind.
On Facebook there is a DM 32 group (not sure who really controls it, but...........) and my yesterday comments, including photo of the radio has been deleted totally.
What kind of professional company is this that disregards the customer that have given them money for product/s ??????????

Prompt response to defective unit

We had an issue with one of our units. The squelch went crazy when near the dash. After verifying the issue is only the one unit, they promptly sent us a replacement. The new unit worked correctly.

Awesome customer service

The promptness in which they respond is 5 stars alone. I have not had any issues with any of our radios only questions and they always have my answers.
Thank you Olivia!

Our Ham Radio Club has great relationship with Baofengradio

I am the Public Information Officer for the Tehachapi Amateur Radio Association (Ham Radio Club) we have a great relationship with Baofengradio.

Olivia, our contact has been working with us on a large community project.

We are a nonprofit 501c and the assistance we have received has been one of the reasons our project is so popular.

Exceptional service

I have found customer service at Baofeng Radio to be exceptional. They got back to me promptly. Totally understand the issues I was having and worked to resolve concerns. They also checked in several times to make sure that I was happy with progress. Would totally recommend Baofeng Radio.

Great customer service.

Baofeng's Customer Support was very helpful when I had an issue with their DM-1701. They worked with me to try and determine the problem and sent out a warranty replacement in a timely manor. And even checked in with me a couple days later after receiving the new radio to see if I received it ok. Which all is good now. Thanks again!

Outstanding customer service experience

I had a query about a new radio I purchased and Olivia from customer service was such a pleasure to speak with. Very prompt with responses and even adding extra ideas and solutions. Very amazing work from the team and thank you again Olivia for the assistance. It’s the little things like that which really boost the overall shopping experience. Being all the way in little New Zealand and still getting major support. Thanks team!
