DealExtreme is a rare visitor on ComplaintsBoard, so the pace of resolving complaints leaves much to be desired. We believe they should spend more time and effort on reviews to naturally grow customer loyalty. As for reviewers, we'd advise carefully reading existing reviews to understand what to expect.

DealExtreme fraudulent company

I purchased an HDMI to HDMI/optical audio switcher from Deal Extreme. They sent me the wrong item. In order to return items to them, you have to take a picture of it and the envelope it is sent in and upload it to an e-mail, which I did. Even though they had a picture of the item that stated what the item was, they sent an e-mail back and asked me to describe the item, which I did.

After much e-mailing back and forth (I have copies of all the e-mails), Monica stated that they don't have the item in stock and they would refund my money if I found a way to ship it back to them. She promised to reimburse my shipping costs as well. UPS showed they received it on 1/5. I sent them copies of my receipts from UPS showing the date and cost of shipping. I e-mailed them 3 times from 1/9 and 1/31; they did not respond to any of these e-mails. I later found out by going to their website that they were gone from 1/24 -1/31 for the Chinese New Year, but there was no auto reply to my messages.

After waiting for a month, I finally contacted my credit card company and explained the situation. They were very helpful and stated that I would not be responsible for the purchase price. Only then did I receive an auto reply from Deal Extreme stating that they received a request to cancel the order. When I replied telling them what has been occurring, they replied that the item was shipped on 12/6 and do I have proof that I returned the item. They still have not refunded my money, although I am having the CC company deal with them on that. They also have not refunded the return shipping costs.

Deal Extreme is either staffed by totally incompetent personnel or they are a disreputable company. Either way, like Robert, my advice is don't do business with them. I wish I would have googled this company before doing business with them, there appear to be other complaints there as well.

I'm very disappointed. They put In Stock label on every product, but that's not true. Deal Extreme never ships in time. This seller takes your money immediately after purchasing, but items are often out of stock. When you try to refund money back they just don't let you contact them.

I just bought from this company and didn't realize that it would be shipped from Singapore. When I got the package 3 weeks later 2 of the items were not in the package. The one items that did arrive was complete rubbish.

I have ordered many items from DealExtreme. They have only screwed up one order on me and they made good on it. Yes, they are a little hard to contact, but I chalk much of that up to the US-Hong Kong time difference. I always get emails answered within a day or so. They seem to have a new order tracking system which seems to not work so well. I'm still getting emails asking me if I received an order I received six months ago.

As far as shipping times, they ship Hong Kong post, so expect it to take a few weeks, which isn't bad considering the hand-off from HK Post to Customs to USPS. I think as long as you know to expect a month or so wait, they're fine (especially considering their prices.)

Amazon they're not. They are what they are, which is slow and cheap. Crooked they're not, at least in my experience. I've never been cheated out of any money. If you have doubts, use PayPal and file a claim on any problem within the proper time period.

DealExtreme are Absolutely thieves and rip-off artists!...I got 3 things from them and ALL were broke! At least they did in fact send the items... Now I think what makes me the most angry is that they have a "RETURNS" tab on their site, but if you ever try to use it, you'll find out it is inoperative. After asking for every piece of information, including telling you to take pics of the items, the SUBMIT button will not work! It is absolutely infuriating! Do you really think every one of these complaints is made up or something? Who would waste their time like that? Take the warning! Or risk your money! I'm not writing this for MY health...

Then they have the gall to email you and ask for a review of the broken item! I gave a review explaing everything wrong with it (In this case a poorly made famiclone with built in games that won't play or output video) and Big Surprise, the SUBMIT button wouldn't work...So I emailed them back (Mailer demon failure)...They don't want to hear your complaints. Avoid them like the plague!

And to those who think a few complaints is OK, like it doesn't matter if a company rips off a few people as long as most are satisfied...How will you feel when it is YOU who are ripped off?

And if I have a complaint with someone like Amazon, they do not have a broken system designed to P*ss people off further when they try to complain legitimately...They would sac-up and handle the complaints, not give the run around on purpose!

All I can say is if you see something you like on DX, then order it from someone reputable...Someone else!

My first order with DealExtreme was a somewhat pleasant one. They are not easy to contact and take forever to ship. My last order is a nightmare. Ordered a set of cables a couple of months ago...after complaining they sent me an email stating the order was shipped. That was a month ago and still no product. And there is no mention on my DE account...plus no shipping tracking number. They have stopped communications with me. Not a reputable complany, in my opinion.

Why do people bother with dealextreme? They slash the price down to earn a few megre dollars but that's "clean" few dollars - grab the money and have communication non-existent.

Every other legitimate company dealing with same products with great service and communication cannot compete because DX doesn't need to deal with after sales service, warranties or things that don't work. It's perfect for them. And you know what? I don't pity the people who buy from them. They asked for it when they click "Pay" on dealextreme's checkout.

DealExtreme no customer service

I've ordered two items from DealExtreme. The first item came to me in about 2 weeks just like they said. It was defective and I was a little frustrated.

So I ordered a second item from them which never came. I became more frustrated this time and I emailed DealExtreme. They told me to please wait for a response from us while we look into the matter.

We sent several emails back and forth and it was the pretty much same thing from them everytime. Please check your post office, we'll look into it at the Hong Kong Post, please confirm your address or please allow more time for your item to be delivered. Also, they don't provide you a tracking number.

If you have a problem with them they will give you the run around and they won't really try to resolve any problems. Do not, and I repeat, do not order from them. They will not refund your money if you never receive what you ordered.

DealExtreme does have item tracking, you have to spend $15 dollars on items to get it.

Also, December to February is the worst time to buy things from DealExtreme. Many items are ordered during December because of christmas, plus in Hong Kong, they celebrate New Years in January, so they always fall behind with orders during that time. It's quite common to have to wait a while to receive orders during that time. I've had to wait up to two months for some items to come.

If you order during a non-busy time of year, items normally get sent quite quickly. A couple of the items i've brought have come to me less than a week after ordering.
