Faulty Device and SCAM company

Just find out that not just me bought a faulty device from this company!! Don't believe the good reviews that you read on their website - nothing is true! No wonder that they don't have a land line to accept phone call!
Basically I bought a refurbished IQOS 3 device and it can not be charged or used at all.
This company is doing this for a living, stay away from them.

Great eliquid vendor.

Been a customer for a few years. Always impressed with the speed of delivery and competitive prices. Huge selection of eliquid and availability of peripheral items like coils.

Was a bit wary ordering off this…

Was a bit wary ordering off this website because not heard of it before and my vape device was very cheap. Checked the reviews on here and gave it a go. Glad I did. Good dispatch and delivery time, great prices and good quality. Will use again. Thank you 😊

Bought a vape from here that is faulty

Bought a vape from here that is faulty, BE WARNED, they do not refund you they just send you the product back and say it was "tested" and working. Bad practice, illegal. I shall be complaining to ombudsman as this is a scam company. I have lost my money, lesson learned, disgusting company conduct. No actual contact either, just emails.

Hi Jen, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We can only accept product returns on items that are sealed/unused or genuinely faulty under our returns policy. Our team treats claims of faulty products seriously and devices are rigorously tested. Upon reviewing the report concerning your device, it was tested extensively over several days using the Terea sticks you purchased. The results indicated that the device performed as expected and was deemed not faulty. As these products are categorised as consumable products, we cannot accept returns for used items that are unwanted or disliked for flavour preferences due to health & hygiene regulations. Nevertheless, we acknowledge your dissatisfaction with the flavours chosen and took the opportunity to provide you with recommendations and additional guidance. Best Regards - ET Team

Delivery issue

Had a problem with my delivery. Package failed to arrive. ET were quick to respond and resolved issue politely and efficiently. A Tracking number when item dispatched would be helpful.

Hello, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. It appears there may be a discrepancy in your experience, as we exclusively source our EDGE e-liquids directly from EDGE themselves. Due to the anonymity of the review, we are unable to verify your experience. It is possible that your purchase was made through an alternative retailer. Therefore we kindly request your cooperation in responding to the Trustpilot information request for further clarity. Best Regards - ET Team

Amazing customer servicesonic…

I have been using electronic tobacconist for years now. I can highly recommend them. So much choice. Its mind boggling.
I have today used the email customer service, which is really quick. Same day response. The people are just really helpful, kind and friendly and do their utmost to help out sort anything out and also to explain problems/ queries. Never condescending or make you feel stupid.
Thoroughly impressed. Great quality. Great offers. Great tastes. And always a super quick delivery.
