Should be called "HATE CUSTOMER…

Should be called "HATE CUSTOMER SERVICES" not Hate my Phone. Absolutely terrible and criminal company. I bought a phone on eBay and they told me it had been sent. What they actually did was print off a postage label so it showed on the system as sent. They gave me a Royal Mail Tracked 48 tracking number which RM have confirmed has NEVER entered their system. Now that they have FINALLY refunded me, the identical phone with the IDENTICAL item number gets relisted again on eBay. Draw your own conclusions but I would advise STAY AWAY!!!

Hi Brian,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your frustration and appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. We assure you that after printing the postage label, the item was indeed handed over to Royal Mail. Unfortunately, it seems the package was lost in their system, which is deeply regrettable. We understand the delay in the refund process may have been disappointing; however, we adhered to eBay's policies, which allow some time for potential delivery delays before processing refunds. We resolved your refund within three days of the dispute being opened.

Regarding the relisting you mentioned, the identical item number you referred to is actually not listed as our stock records confirm it’s out of stock. There might have been a misunderstanding or an error in the listing viewed. We are committed to resolving any confusion and encourage you to contact us directly at info@hatemyphone.co.uk. Our customer service team is here to assist you further.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I ordered a Samsung phone from here. I never recieved it, and I have emailed the company several times, but have no reply. I paid extra for quick shipping, but still have not recieved it. It was meant to arrive by now, and they have not given me a reason as to why it hasnt come, or when to expect it. I expect better communication or a full refund.
EDIT= after a very quick reply from the company on here, I have boosted it to 5 stars. :) and it did get delivered as promised

Thank you for your feedback, and we apologise for the inconvenience you've experienced. From our records, it appears you purchased a Samsung Galaxy J3 with standard Royal Mail 48-hour delivery, and no extra payment for expedited shipping was made. We have confirmed the tracking information (QG573016359GB) and your order is due to be delivered on Friday, 14th June. We dispatched your order on the same day we received confirmation from Wowcher, on 10th June. Unfortunately, it seems there has been a delay with Royal Mail, which is beyond our control. We understand your frustration. Please note, your message was received after office hours on 12th June at 8 PM; our customer service team operates from 10 AM to 4 PM and will respond during these hours. We are committed to resolving this promptly and appreciate your patience.

Received an iPhone that will not turn on or charge. I don’t get why you wouldn’t check the phone before sending to a customer. Advertised as very good condition get there is a big scratch on top of phone and phone was dirty when I opened the packaging. Even the charging cable that was provided was filthy

Please contact us directly at info@hatemyphone.co.uk to discuss a resolution, including a potential replacement or refund.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concerns and apologise for any inconvenience. To clarify, your order was processed before your cancellation request was seen due to our operating hours. Although the item was dispatched promptly, we were informed by Royal Mail that it had unfortunately been lost in transit. We have since issued a full refund in response to this issue. We strive to provide efficient service and are disappointed we could not meet your expectations this time. If there's anything more we can assist you with, please contact us directly.
