Can I trust TinyDeal.com?

100% scam.

That is a fake website pretending to sell cheap merchandise.

Any site that advertises merchandise cheaper than the official manufacture’s website is a fake site shipping gosh awful crappy knock-offs or simply collecting cash and not even bothering to ship fakes.

The pictures on the site look like the real merchandise because those pictures ARE of the official merchandise. Those pictures were stolen from the official manufacture’s website. If you receive anything at all, which is doubtful, it will not resemble those pretty pictures at all.

The payment options say it all, Western Union, paypal and bank transfer, only anonymous cash payments.

Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.

Paypal can only get your money back if there is money left in the scammer’s paypal-linked bank account. Scammers know this and will immediately withdrawal your money and disappear. No money in the scammer’s paypal-linked bank account means absolutely no possibility of refund for you.

Your bank can only get your money back if there is money left in the scammer’s bank account. Scammers know this and will immediately withdrawal the money you transferred. No money in the account means absolutely no possibility of you getting your hard-earned cash back.

In all seriousness, when something goes wrong, what will you do? Send an email that is ignored and blocked? Send chat requests until you are ip banned? Call internationally and speak fluent Chinese?

The UPS, TNT and DHL icons are there only to take up space, that site only ships with EMS, the Chinese post office, good luck getting the “tracking number” they give you to work on the EMS website. You will need even more luck trying to contact EMS when your tracking stops and your “package” is lost somewhere.

You could then be really lucky, your “package” is discovered, seized by “customs” and all you need to do is pay even more money via Western Union or moneygram to the “custom’s official” who uses a free email address just like that site has a free email address as its contact information.

Free email addresses are easy to open and close completely anonymously.

NO! don’t buy from them

I ordered at the beginning of November 2014 a smartphone from Tiny Deal and another order containing different items, like clothes and some electronic things. The orders were placed in the same day, almost the same hour. I received the phone after two weeks, and about then I also received an e-mail saying that from the other order it misses and item and I should change another one. I did that and after a week, they still havn’t sent the products. Returning to the phone: the screen started not to respond well, the phone was getting pictures alone, moving through pages alone and so on. So I contacted TinyDeal through e-mail and explained them what it doesn’t function. I did that. Then they asked me again and again….so I sent them alot of e-mails, telling them I want my phone replaced. Finally, they said they dont replace the phone, that it loses 15% from it’s value…so if I want to replace it or try to take another model, I would lose 15% from the initial sum!!!!!!! even if it was not my phone the item was not functioning. They also said they check all the products, and it has to be a problem during the shipping!!! (omg). Finally, they said I should send back the item and they will have it repaired, but that I should tell them AGAIN what the problem was. I gave up, I said better have it repaired by these idiots. So I received back the item after about two months and a half from the day I ordered it, and guess what!!!!!!The GPS doesn’t work. So I do not recommend buying from tinydeal.com, as if an item is broken, u’ll never get to see it functional. More than that, I wrote a review on their page and they didn’t make it public.

TinyDeal is a complete scam! Let me break it down for you in 10 easy steps:

1) Your product comes super late, or not at all

2) Whatever you bought comes broken, or will be broken in a week

3) They give you the run around until you’re &$%### frustrated

4) You finally bite the bullet and send the bad product back to them (at your cost)

5) Somehow they want you to pay more money for repairs or replacing product (do not do)

6) Half a year (literally) later they might finally have your product ready to ship at your cost (do not do)

7) Another 2 months and the garbage you sent back, comes back to you

8) You give up talking to them and start writing bad reviews on every website possible

9) Another goof ball sees a good price on their website and doesn’t read all the reviews

10) Said goof ball repeats my list from #1

Do not buy from them! Huge scam!

*rips hair out*

They sell used items!

I ordered a Pipo M9 Pro tablet that was full of scratches on both sides and chinese apps already installed!

I send it back and they started mocking me! That the scratches were caused during transport! There is no certain representative to deal with, who understands and speaks English! They eat up your time, so that you lose the paypal protection period!

In 25/09/13 I ordered the tablet of 206 Euros, I paid 60 euros to send it twice back and after 55 emails in March 10th, 2014 I managed to get a refund of 157 euros. I was lucky, others have lost all of their money.

Search their site: there is no address, no phone number and only one email: sales. Recently tried to hack my pc by sending a link with malware.

I created a blog with copies of the emails and photos of the second hand device, showing that these are a bunch of impostors:

READ AND SPREAD: DON’T BUY!!!

I bought a phone from this site. When I order it it was stated that it is in stock. Then in a week or so they wrote on their site that it is on pre sale and that it will be in stock next week. When that date was reached they changed the date for another 10 days. When you write to them you get only short answer like ”please wait”.

Now I’m still waiting and i think that phone will never arrive, or it will arrive defective and money refund is only a dream!

This is what happened to me with tinydeal.com:

I bought a Onda tablet for 149€ (+22€ custom fees) on 19th may 2014

They shipped to me quickly through DHL (less than 10 days)

The tablet was defective and unusable so I contacted their customer care via web chat

After lots of chats and emails they told me to ship the tablet back to their storehouse

I spent 30€ to send it back on 29th may 2014

Express courier couldn’t find them at first attempt, and they didn’t claim for the packet for at least 2 weeks (I emailed them so many times to warn them about it!)

Finally they received the item on 1th july and they told me they would eventually sent the tablet back to the manufacturer FOR REPAIR!

Yes, you read well….I bought a new tablet and they want to send me back a repaired one

I tried to ask for a new tablet but they told me my tablet was 70% new and they couldn’t replace it (I used the tablet twice: first time I switched it on and I recognised there was a problem, the second time I tried to upgrade Android to see if it could be a software problem – No, it wasn’t software, was a hardware problem!)

After about 10 emails in which I spoke with several people, I was tired (that’s their strategy, now I know…) and accepted to get a repaired one + 30€ refund for the second shipping cost

Today – after one month they received the defective tablet from me – I asked several times for news (1 – if they sent the item for repair, 2 – what did the manufacturer tell them about repairing time)

They told me they sent it to the manufacturer and then they told me again to wait in order: more days to check all the problems are solved, 10 days to check all the problems are solved, 15 more days to check all the problems are solved

NO!!!!!!!

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM TINYDEAL.COM

I recently purchased a P98 Air (NEW) for $220 US Dollars. Upon receipt of item I found the item was damaged and has hardware failure. I provided video documentation showing the hardware failure. The item doesn’t work. I didn’t agree to pay for a broken, damaged item. I agreed to buy a NEW working item.

After reporting the two hardware failures, the Customer Service Representative didn’t even bother to watch the video proving the failure. She told me to Factory Restore it and other nonsense that can’t in any way resolve the issue. I have gone back and forth about 10 times with this person who told me to PAY to return the item for REPAIR or REFUND!

The Sale of Goods Act 1979 makes it an implied term of the contract that goods be as described, of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. Any returns policy that says I have to cover the cost of returning items must only relate to the situation where I change my mind about the item ordered and not where there is a problem with the item. I should not lose out financially as a result of your breach of contract and accordingly all costs of returning the item should be met by TinyDeal / Seller.

I am expected to pay $80 to return an item I didn’t agree to buy in the first place. I am expected to pay for an item that was sent to me broken and damaged. (IT wasn’t damaged in shipping, box in perfect condition)

CONSUMER RIGHTS / LAW Dictates: Goods you buy should always be in a satisfactory condition, defect free and fit for the purpose they were intended when you receive them. Under the Sale of Goods Act 1979, you are entitled to return and get a refund if items do not meet the basic criteria.

I have 6 times requested the representative to escalate this issue to her supervisor/manager. Each time she refused telling me she is the handler of my case.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY! They have horrible customer service, they ignore documentation/proof, they do not honor the purchase agreement and Consumer Rights to receive goods in satisfactory condition free of defect expecting you to pay to return the damaged goods. This is not legal!

THEY BANK ON YOU NOT KNOWING YOUR RIGHTS! THEY EXPECT THAT YOU WILL SEE THE COST WILL LIKELY BE MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAID FOR IT & THEREFOR YOU REFUSE TO RETURN IT. IE: $80 to return a small/medium light weight item to them!! NEVER BUY FROM THEM!!

THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE WITH TINYDEAL. BEWARE !!!

I ordered a product and waited 6 weeks, only to get a defective one.

As instructed by Tinydeal I sent it back, with the receipt for shipment cost.

Tinydeal refused to refund.

After a very long e-mails debate, Tinydeal agreed to refund only 85% of what I paid.

Tinydeal refused to refund the return shipment they authorized.

Tinytdeal took 45$ from me, only because they can.
