Folks

Folks - All you need is to provide Tax Invoices to the email address when the sale txn is completed. You would be perfect if you did that

Took money for stock they did not have

Took money for stock they did not have. No communication. When i enquired they told me items would be dispatched next day. Then after having to enquire again, advised the items were not available.
Im pretty sure charging for goods or service you cant deliver is against trade practice law.

Refunds ridecously slow

Company happy to quickly process purchase but not so quick to process a return for a faulty item - took 3 months of emails and phone calls before refund for an item that didn't work was refunded. Only got a refund after a phone call to a receptionist who couldn't put me through to someone in charge. Hard to believe it could take so long when manufacturer confirmed via email (included with returned item) that a DOA could be claimed. No responses to messages sent via their internet messaging service meant I had to use telephone to get responses. Not happy!

We are sorry the return has taken a while. As advised it needed manufacturer's inspection and approval for the DOA claim. We have no control of the process as advise it will take 3-4 weeks. We are happy that it was completed within those time frame, especially during the busy Christmas period. We understand it is a process the manufacturer needs to improve and have passed the feedback to the manufacturer.

We have checked the address and there is an error in the address provided. Due to PayPal security ploicy, we are unable to amend the shipping address. Hope you understand. A full refund was provided and you are welcome to purchase again with the correct address. Thank you for shopping with us at :)phoneinc.

A pleasant shopping experience at :) phone inc.

I was very impressed with the way the product was presented on the site and especially for the detailed specs such as frequency bands for 3G which were essential for me to make my choice.

The whole experience with viewing the product, through to the final placement of the order were pleasing and I expect to return to your site soon. Thank you.

Thank you for taking your time to provide us with a feedback. We believe retail business should be built on information transparency and good after sales services such as delivery and warranty.
We aim to provide best products and after sale services at a reasonable price. However, sometimes we are unable to match operators that focus only on pricing or selling product as cost leader and use them as draw cards to attract traffic. That being said, we are always happy to take a look at comparable offers and compete for your business.
Thank you again for shopping with us at :) phoneinc.
