Hello guys,
this is my first post on this forum and I hope it doesn't sound to agressive.
So, here goes:
I bought a HTC Touch Cruise that was locked on the RO Vodafone network. Before finding out about this great forum and all of you guys I ordered and paid, stupid me, ~30 euros for an unlock code from deblocage-htc.com
I sent them the correct imei, and the money via paypal and the next day i received my unlock code.
I inserted a sim card from the telecom company i work with and it asked for the unlock code, so i entered the code and... surprise: INVALID CODE.
I sent an email back to the site owners (that was 7 days ago) and asked them to help me solve my problem.
7 days have passed and still no answer, although I sent several other emails.
I filed a claim on paypal and the guy managed to send evidence that he is ok in only 2 MINUTES, but still doesn't find time to answer my emails.
This was the first time (and definitely the last one) I tried the easy way and I ended up with a "fat lip"
I managed to unlock my phone by miself today thanks to the nice utilities and the very explicit guide provided by Olinex (hope I remembered it right), so i promise i'll make a donation to you this week.
What I'm pissed about are not the money, but the fact that they didn't even bother to answer my emails.
PS.
My lawyer would love to know their real name and address, as I record each and every online purchase I make, and print screens with all the terms and conditions.
Hopefully the guys in the IT dept in my company will manage to provide me with the information I need.
I apologize again if this post doesn't belong here, but in a moment of stupidity (this was my first windows mobile phone and I didn't have any patience) i've been scammed for the first time in my life...
PS 2
Pardon my english, but I'm not native.
Did anyone else encounter the same problem?
We at XDA are sorry to hear that happen to you and pray that you get your funds back, but still this is not the place to discuss these issues. Hope you understand. I will keep this thread locked till someone can PM me if they have any information to share with you, then I'll open it again
Moreover within an hour, looks like no one else faced this problem
This is just to clean the forums clean so everyone can get the information that they seek regarding devices and ROMs and likes
Thank you
The wiki list of prices showed this shop to be the cheapest one! http://www.tigaduacellular.com
I tried to order from them, please see what happened! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM! PLEASE!
Here we go, the e-mail conversation with their sales department:

Me to the shop
Hello,
Thanks for your extremely fast reply! I would like to purchase the EU version of the phone. So please continue with the Touch Pro EU version order.
Sincerely Yours,
XXX
---------------------------------
Me to the shop again
Hi,
I'm wondering if you have noted my message that i would like to continue with the purchase of the Touch Pro EU version as noted below. Now I find myself missing the payment information, which I am waiting from you to send me. The first contact from you was extremely fasy, which I'm thankful for, but approximately how long it can take to tell me how to pay?
The thing that you don't have option to pay via Credit card is already quite annoying, but even more annoying is to wait for the bank transfer payment information. Nothing personal, I'm just used to that shops would be more eager to get the money from the customers.
Sincerely yours,
XXX
---------------------------------
to me
Actually, we have send the payment information to you, the day you reply the
email.
We don't know if you already received it or not.
---------------------------------
Me to the shop
Hello,
Alright, I see! So the payment information is not sent via e-mail but by post. I am honestly sorry for my misunderstanding. I was assuming to get it to my e-mail. Thanks for the info. I'll be looking forward getting that information. Again sorry for my bad behaviour. all the best!
Regards,
XXX
---------------------------------
to me
Of course we have sent the information via e-mail.
Well I guess you're not serious buyer anyway.
Hope you will get your "FREE PHONE" with other website.
---------------------------------
Me to the shop
Hi,
I would really like to buy the phone, but have not received any confirmation? I double checked my spam folder also, nothing in there! I am really serious, as soon as you can provide me with the payment information i would like to purchase the phone.
Because i tried to be the nicest possible to you, i will take all the e-mails, collect a nice package of them and get in contact with your superior. This is not customer service.
You will hear from me, Mr. XXX. Too bad that you werent able to do your job. I will make sure no one will ever buy from your shop again if this harm done by you is not corrected.
Think twice before you fool around like that, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I WASNT A SERIOUS BUYER?
Sincerely,
XXX
---------------------------------
Me to the shop
PS. this information, and all the emails we have been sending to each other will soon be found from all the biggest mobile phone forums, where your customers are also coming.
---------------------------------
to me
Oh yes.
And you're just a customers who don't pay but want mobile phones.
Or maybe you're just another Nigerian buyer.
---------------------------------
Me to the shop
Excuse me!
I was ASKING YOU to send me the PAYMENT INFORMATION! BECAUSE YOU FAILED TO DO SO IN THE FIRST PLACE!
All this will be reported to your superior. Thanks.
Regards,
XXX
DAMN!!!!! what the hell....

I'm glad i never got those payment instructions. who knows where my money could be right now!
And also remember, when ordering from them, you will probably have to pay the toll and VAT at your home country, so it really isn't even that cheap.
OMG
What a clueless webshop contact.
I think you should inform the owner of the shop so you can get this guy fired!
thanks for sharing
Amazing.......
You should copy the web-link from here and send them an email with the details of this post..... not good at all? and "who" pays "bank to bank" only these days - very strange indeed?

I thought to do so, but after doing whois pings on the domain, found out that the website is registered to a person with a same surname than the person answering my e-mail. Family biz.. They can go to hell with their stupid shop, just ordered from expansys.
Sounds very dodgie.... Thanks for sharing....
I bought from highstreet "Kamla" in London on Tottenham Court Road... UK version for £499.
A bit more expensive but from my past experience with HTC P3600 which was quite unstable initially, I thought it's better to buy from a shop where I can go back to if anything goes wrong.
I tell you...that is nuts. I had an issue with the first Touch Pro I ordered. Thank goodness I did it on E-Bay. Paypal refunded my money after my dispute, found another seller, and bought two of them with next day air delivery. Though I had one seller try to mess around with me, money was safe, and still had my Touch Pro within a week of the UK's launch.
Good luck with your next seller.
if it wasn't blindingly obvious to you already:
DON'T PAY BY BANK TRANSFER OR WESTERN UNION.
A merchant who doesn't take cards is generally always a scammer; bank transfers/WU are irreversible, this is precisely why they're required by scammers.
If you want to buy a device, buy it on a card; the price is cheaper than average for a good reason, use your noodle.
Hi. I was hesitant to have what's probably a silly question be my first post, but, I couldn't find the answer by searching.
I just bought and downloaded CorePlayer for my HD2 and come to find that CoreCodec doesn't automatically provide me with the activation code immediately after completing my purchase. My confirmation email said that I have to email them in order to receive the code. I find this strange, inconvenient, and annoying.
But, since it seems that I have no choice but to wait for them to email me back, I was hoping that one of you would be kind enough to let me know how long it usually takes them to email the activation code back. Thanks in advance!

I got mine immediately!
try emailing them about it, they are usually pretty responsive.
Have to agree with the OP. Paid, downloaded, installed and now waiting, waiting, waiting for the activation code. Sorry, but that'll be my last purchase from CoreCodec . Regret not having gone with Kinoma. Very disappointed with the service which should in fact be totally automated.
Three days after "purchase", and still waiting on my CorePlayer activation code!!!

Wow, this is absolute crap. I emailed them in regards to the activation code just prior to starting this thread, and I've yet to receive a response from them. If anyone besides vovobrewer and I have had this problem with CoreCodec please post your experience in this thread. They may end up stealing my money, but I'll be damned if I don't tell everyone and their mama about it and knock their rep down several notches for doing so! NOTHING WORSE THAN A THIEF, CORECODEC!
Six days after paying for coreplayer and I'm still waiting for an activation key. Emails are getting ignored. Maybe Corecodec have gone belly-up and taken my money with them.
It's not a spam filter type issue on your email?
I got my code within minutes of ordering - the email came from : [email protected]
Finally after 7 days and many emails! And not even the slightest hint of an apology. Spam filter didn't get it, they were just that slow. I'll never buy another Core product or recommend them. I'm so over crap service.

Thats the sad thing, you do the right thing and buy it legitimately and they provide this kind of service. It should have been virtually automatic in supplying you a code.
Is it any wander many just search for a cracked version.
hi guys
i am planning to buy a new phone soon, probably a China one. i have already checked many china shops but most of them do not look like a safe place for spending a couple hundred euros, and paying with paypal is in many of them impossible.
so would you be so kind and share your expirence with chinapadmall, because i was unable to find any useful information on the internet. at a glance they look different from most of china shops and paying with paypal is also possible.
just another question: probably i am going to buy either a iocean/OU Sheng X7 or a UMI X2. which one do you think is better in term of build quality?
thank you for help
I personally would keep away from Chinese phones, generally because they tend to not have any support afterwards. I looked through this site and however designed/presented nicely, the reviews are mostly of customers asking questions about the product. They seem to respond back though so that may be a good sign (even though they're using the reviews section as a forum, which is deceiving). Sorry for not exactly answering your question, but that's just my 2cents.
Do you mean "China" or "china"?
Either way, I wouldn't want to touch any China-made products left alone spending "a couple hundred euros" for it.
first of all thanks for your reply.
i meant China of course.
you are probably right about support ,sadly not so many own those phones. actually i am buying that kind of phone, because in last half year i lost two phones (they were both stolen by somebody). now i do not want to spend much money on a new phone.
including taxes and DHL shippinig i can get a full hd phone for approximately 220€ (about 290$), and that is why i am interested in buying China phone.
i will have to think a bit and search the internet, whether it is worth buying cheap phone and hooping for best, or spend at least twice as much money for Nexus 4, Sony Xperia Z, or other flagship devices.
I've bought my goophone n2 here in chinapadmalL and pay with paypal.It's safe.
And I'm also interested in iocean X7 and a UMI X2,but the pre-order does not begin,do you know the exact date? cause I don 't want to wait a long time .
I use dx.com for my China gadget shopping. They are trustworthy and have a decent support staff as well as forums. They accept paypal. The only downside is sometimes the shipping can be slow but anything shipping from Hong Kong is generally slow. They have name brand Android phones as well.
i am also interested in buying umi x2, iocean x7, or t he jiayu g4 advenced, but the problem is also the availability, and the release dates are not actually unknown.
and about the dx.com i must agree they are trustworthy, buty normally it takes long to receive your staff, but the problem is they do not have so many phones like other sites.
I would not buy AT CHINAPADMALL
Well I tell you my experience with this damn devil store "chinapadmall.com" because bine on April 9, 2013, announced in stock the following: "Good Quality Butterfly x920e OEM Smart Phone 5.0 Inch IPS 1920 * Quad 1080 2GB RAM Android 4.1-core 1.5GHz 16GB ". I buy paypal payment 250'87 total EUR total no joke. I get the phone about ten or twelve days later does not do what is advertised is 1920 * 1080 1270 * 920 is less, plus wifi does not work and tells me what I have to do is install the rom again, as I to have to do that to a newly purchased mobile trying it yourself. Well I tell you what I say I want to return smoothly to send it to an address and how do I have to send also want a 32 gb sd Tarje tells me to pay it and send it to me. I tell you all that I leave as requested on the page and tell me you do not need it with the email is enough. I send the phone on May 10, 2013, will arrive on May 24 and did not pick right now is in the post office waiting sheizen by will. I tell the seller and he says he does not know that you sent me x2 umi on Friday May 31 but do not know the tracking number and does not know because he has not Picked to send you the package. We also speak for the char of the page and I closed this sounds fishy.
SUMMARY, DONÍ BUY INTO THAT AS A PROBLEM WITH ANY Tourist trap breaded MOBILE I ALREADY TOOK TWO MONTHS MOBILE AND LEAST 280 EUROS.
P. D. if anyone knows something I can help I'd appreciate it because paypal said to have passed the 45 days to open a dispute. Of course I have happened if I had been the purchaser bullfighting, and the effectiveness of posts that you see, well here you have this tako, well I'm sorry but I inform relief and these thieves, swindlers. Thank you.: Mad :: mad:
This is the ultimate, the CHINAPADMALL.COM geta looks to have seen that I have told you what happened in all the forums that I could and yesterday (June 5) according to their page to put a discount promotion 5-8 $ a people who speak well of chinapadmall and send the address of the forum comment to your mail to see him, this must be seen to be believed, is very strong, does that and does not answer to the 10 MESSAGES I sent in the last 3 days. see to believe. how can a person for a lost mobile lose many customers as if they read this.
You can see it chinapadmall.com/blog/summer-sale/
I bought an Umi x2 from them 5 days ago. My order is still 'in progress' and not been posted despite me paying $20 for express delivery. I'mnot happy with their service.
UMI X2 32G rom 2G ram the umi company will stop produce for 3-4 weeks.so if you bought this phone don't dream they will ship.

I think i can tell you something, I think there must something made you misunderstanding, i made two orders in chinapadmall.com, they response very fast and reply my every email and live chat, maybe the email sent to your junk box? it seem the live chat time from China time 9:00~18:00, you can try to see and try again. and even over 45 days, they accept return and refund, don't worry. one of my friend experienced it. it is better you tell him your order number first, so they can confirm soon. when refund the money, you must will get a coupon as a compensation( my friend got the coupon, hope the same as you).
and by the way, if they didn't answer you, how did you sent back the phone? where you got the return address?
hope your problem will be fix soon....

address gave me Jerry or so chatting calls himself. So far I have sent the phone or returned the money. On Friday Jerry said the chat today I would give the tracking number, but I ask you and I closed the conversation. No I think I have been scammed, and the address to which returned the phone was not the same that came in the package where they sent me the phone. ie they send from an address and returns go to another company and another direction, even in another city. All this is very rare and worst is that after almost 3 months I am still without my money and no mobile. SO I would not buy ANYTHING IN CHINAPADMALL. COM
I think I know where is the problem

I think I know where is the problem, the problem is not CHINAPADMALL.COM didn't answer your questions, it seem you returned the phone to the wrong address ( wrote in the package?).
if you purchased the phone via paypal in the store, it is better you follow the refund and return rules of paypal. you should dispute in paypal and ask for return and refund, paypal will show you the address that you should send to. remember never do not send to the address wrote in package. if over 45days, it is better you contact their after service for address before you sending. as I know, many package sent from China the address wrote on package are address of POST AGENT COMPANY, not the real seller, because the agent handle all for seller, seller only need prepare the package for picking up.
i suggest you keep contact CHINAPADMALL.COM , tell him the tracking info, ask him for help for find the package. if sent to the POST AGENT, they also can have it back, but will take many times, it is possible to get your money back, CHINAPADMALL.COM wont let you lost money, as I know my friend got money back and got a coupon for compensation and he made a new order with the coupon( 8USD discount for any item).
hope can help you, and be patient you will get money back soon....

good to let you know that chinapadmall scam remains the same, I have sent the phone told me, will not return my money, do not send me the phone defective or sent me to the beginning or answer emails or chat, we that happen to me, they want to keep the money and not send anything. The explanation that they're scammers and they were misled as to the mobile oem butterfly to everyone who sold him no responsibility, go to the utmost account and that's it if you want to claim something looks to China and talk to them, **** that children of ..... THIEVES, SCAMMERS, ...

:good: that's great, I told you before, they will refund your money anytime, even over 45 days after payment. chinapadmall.com are looking for long term business, not one time. reliable!!
I have no problem with china mobile. Nice power for third price of regular brands with good workshop quality. Only problem is support...
.My phone I received from om them was faulty and they have asked me to return it to them. I have done by DHL but it seems to be being held in customs in Shenzhen. Is it legal to return a phone from UK to Shenzhen? Why would customs hold it?
Perhaps it just takes some time for clearance?
Hi There,
I'd like to share my experience buying an iMito QX1 from Geekbuying.com - not for the sake of flaming, but really to help fellow community members avoid lost money and unnecessary heartache.
I purchased the item in June - and have yet to see a refund for a defective product.
It took forever to arrive - and upon arrival was basically DOA. It worked very briefly, in which time I couldn't find sufficient information online to try and flash the new firmware to get it to work properly (the Geekbuying forum information is very minimal, to say the least, and the response rate is very slow), and upon pulling out to try and refresh and reconnect, it stopped working entirely. I connected it to numerous tvs and devices, to no avail - signal has been lost.
This is a known issue that many people have posted about - and Geekbuying.com have completely ignored. See these threads:

After reaching out to Geekbuying and explaining everything - and everything we tried technically - they initially were willing (supposedly) to provide a refund or alternate device (we asked for a refund), and asked us to fill out forms that they never provided us with, and since then have been stalling, evading, and unhelpful.
Below is the chat I had with their operator today, where they once again have evaded and chosen to be unhelpful:
Please wait for a site operator to respond...

10:57:50 AM

10:58:10 AM
I cant spend my whole day here and you never reply to emails. This is the worst customer service ever.
10:58:51 AM
Listen we have done everything we have been told and the item doesn't work.
10:59:00 AM

I am sharing my experience, in order to ensure others don't go through the same, and to share my experience purchasing the iMito QX1 - which on paper is supposed to be an awesome device, but falls short in execution.
Good luck.
Thank you for posting this. I hope your post will help others to be aware too. But I have to tell you for every post you find like this and believe me there are many. You will also find many post on other forums that will defend this company and have complete lack of empathy.If you read those threads you will find as I have. They are generally from people who have a certain (ahem, cough) relationship with them. It sickens me to say the least. BTW, its not just the device you purchased either. I try to let people know that a lot of these divides can all so be purchased through Amazon. I am not promoting Amazon. I am just saying if something does go wrong. You have a much better chance of a fair outcome. Sorry to here of your episode. You were more than fair with them. I will not be surprised if there is a reply in their defense. Then again, maybe not here. But, try a certain f****tab forum and you will see what I mean. Good luck.

Thanks for the support - I'm sure you're right - I just hope that the sincerity comes through and that if someone who is looking to purchase an item from them and sees this post at some point, may possibly reconsider.
I never do things like this and if it were a small amount I'd likely just forget about it, but it's a $90 product.

It seems difficult to get money back as the address the post on their website are not detailed. I am in Shenzhen and I don't think I can find the right place.

All you have to do is dispute with your credit card/bank company. Let them take care of it and save you the hassle.

Quick Update
The email we were promised obviously never arrived.
We have resigned ourselves to the fact that we will likely not be seeing our money back. For all future buyers - Paypal ONLY.

No, I don't know anyone there. I'll try that - thanks. (Is there any specific way I can reach out to him? Is he on XDA? Facebook? There's a general email address at geekbuying, and I'm not sure how I can get him specifically to deal with my issue).
Register over there then private message geekbuying member hope this helps

Amazing such issue's were had.
I also bought my QX1 from Geekbuying however I ordered via Amazon (bundle pack with external antenna & Cat 5 USB adaptor)..
My order was received 4 days later (via USPS).
The unit works great & still no issue's on my end with my unit.
Also bought an airmouse from them (via Amazon again) & received that the day before last (2 days after order)..
Long of the short of all of this is I wouldn't put such hate towards one posting that's seen..
As I've had no issue's on my end once so ever..
Just stating my $0.03....
Shame about the issue's though as the QX1 really is I nice little device (however deva support is still very limited)..
My experience with imito qx1 is also positive. Bought it on geekbuying.com and was aware that shipping last LONG. Got it and it works like a charm. Had same issues in the beginning but flashed it with Finless 1.5 ROM form freaktab.com and it works great. That was a good decision.
I was able to RMA my CX-919 to geekbuying for just return shipping $8.
They asked for a youtube video of it not working!
Took two months but the new device works great.
