Souq.com external hard drive/ 3 weeks delayed / souq.com

I ordered in souq.com by amazon last November 24, 2017 an external hard drive until now I didn't receive. I called them more than 10 times and same answers I got always, they will check in the courier, they will put you in priority, and they will tell you to wait 48 hours. The order expected date is dec.3, which is 10 days from the order date, and I waited, but 10 days is not enough for then, their poor service and communication is ruining the reputation of souq.com which is good before amazon took over, now it is the 3rd week from order date. I want to ask where should I complain properly, if anyone can help me please

Souq.com not been delivered

I honestly can't believe the terrible service i have received from Souq UAE.
they have now said they have lost my order.
I have paid 1250 add over 3 weeks ago and must have called at least 25 times.
noone has called me back, none knows where my packets are, and they have taken my money! this is the worst customer service ever. I have now been told that i can't get refund until I send the packages back that haven't even received yet.
THIS IS THE WORST SERVICE EVER AND I WILL NEVER BOOK WITH THEM AGAIN.

When asked courier guy he said another person will deliver it. The guy called as no one at home he promised to make delivery the next day. Since then its almost 15 days I have been calling daily to souq, lodging complaints, but no response at all. only thing they say is we have escalate it to concern team they will contact you. The courier guy also not responding to phone call.

Souq.com my order alberto granite

I hv placed an order on 23rd of november and it was supposed to be delivered on 12th of december. 10 days have passed since i hv been waiting and calling every single day and everytime those customer serivce robots tell me in 24 hours there will be a miracle
"i asure u" i will personally follow up" etc.
I hv been also requesting to arrange a talk ith the suoervisor. But after calling for 6 days one day supervisor the great called. Within 3 min he called tbirce as i was in an emergency i couldnt receive. And layer supervisor or may be a ceo or some president who seems to be so busy never called again.
Some one did call and ask (not the supervisor) why am i not collevting mu order from samsa. I told him that i havent reveived any message he said the status shows its there. However when i asked about the vity he said its in some other city.
I am.Sick of calling and asking for supervisor. They must compensate.
They r not even able to tell the status of the order extremly poor service. My order was once 2 days late frpm wadi and they immediately apologized with some compensation. This souq is highly unprofessionals.
Seems the company is running without a supervisor.
No respect from customer

Souq.com fraud in selling price, fake products, poor delivery

I have had extreme problems with Souq.com
• Two items ordered in the White Saturday Sale 2017 were taken away from me - one order was outright cancelled and the other order was claimed to be returned. In both cases the item was available at the site for a higher price and the souq.com representative told me to purchase it again at the higher price. Such behavior is against the law in Saudi Arabia.
• The souq.com delivery drivers are rude to customers. They deliver orders without signature or ID. They pretend not to be able to find locations and they cancel orders that they don't feel like delivering.
• Souq.com sells designer goods as new when they are actually used.

I live in the Khuzama area of Al Khobar.
The Souq.com drivers try EVERYTHING NOT TO DELIVER.
I am an old lady and I am home all day with my phone beside me.
With the first order #[protected] the driver came and just dropped off the boxes in the street and left without taking any signature from me or asking for any ID. You can see that there was no signature taken if you compare to the next order #[protected]
For that next order #[protected] the driver tried hard not to deliver the order. First he demanded that I send my location on What's App. When I wouldn't do that he kept pretending to get lost. I told him clearly - Please come off the highway at Al Khuzama and make the right at Bank Al Ahli (NCB). Go straight down the street and pass Tamimi Safeway and Al Dawa Pharmacy and keep going straight through the intersection. See the Bokhari Restaurant on the left side and make a left at that street. That is Abu Ishaq Ibn Baks Street. Please call me at that time and I will come out to the street and wait for you.
He went to the wrong location and I had to call him to give him directions again. Then finally he made me wait in the street for 30 minutes. I waited. Finally he arrived and I was pitifully grateful that he showed up.
Now my latest order has been cancelled, supposedly because I rejected the order. But that is not true. I was not contacted to accept the delivery. That order is #[protected]. It's simply a scam not to deliver the order. I asked for the order to be sent back to me but I was told that was not possible. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that was not possible. I asked for my funds to be refunded to my credit card and was told that was not possible.
The order that was not delivered (#[protected]) and that was taken away from me was ordered during the White Saturday Sale. I was also cheated out of other items that I purchased during the White Saturday sale. I ordered a Sony Television during the White Saturday sale on order number #[protected]. That TV order was cancelled by Souq.com with the claim that the television was not available. But no surprise. The same day that the order was cancelled by Souq.com I was able to order the exact same television but for SR285 more on order #[protected]. So the "Sale" was just a scam.
Additionally, I have written to the brand holder of Calvin Klein Cosmetics to advise them that the CK BE perfume ordered in order #[protected] came without its outer plastic wrapping and is most likely either used or fake although it was sold as new and I paid for a new item. They should prevent your company from selling their products.
I have never used Souq.com before the White Saturday sale but it has been an education. I will be putting a complaint to the Saudi Ministry of Commerce for fraud in selling.

Souq.com unethical behaviour

Souq sold me an Ipad Pro 9.7", 128 GB on White Friday for 1, 699 DHS. Order No. [protected],
I ordered it on Nov 22, the product should have arrived on the 26th.
After two weeks of constantly trying to get in touch with Customers Service, Souq cancelled my order saying it was out of stock. Then said they could either give my money back (which I will loose 14% discount because of my international credit card fees) or I could buy the SAME PRODUCT for a HIGHER PRICE.
I was basically scammed. I invested my money on something they claim they don't have, and now they want to charge me a higher price for getting the same item.
I still want my item, as I don't want to pay more money for the same product. I could have bought from another seller with the same discount, but I opted to buy from the selled dod_uae that was supposed to be trustful..

It is almost 2 weeks that I have been following up on my delivery ( ord 22Nov). Every single time I get told is that we are sending a priority message to the courier company and the item will be delrvd the next day. Bad service. They obviously cannot handle the white friday sales !

Souq.com bad customer service

I am writing concerning to refunds my money from souq company.
I have attempted to resolve this matter by phone through customer service team, but the issue has not been settled to my satisfaction.more than 10 days calling to speak with customer service but no one help or give the correct answer .

On November 23st 2017, I received a call from Bank and told that I purchased to souq which I was not. Then I noticed some one trying to use my account . This is kind of cyber thief.Immediately i block my atm, unfortunately I was not able to contact Souq team since it was very late night around 10 pm. Day after on Friday November 22 nd I called to Souq Team in order to cancel the transaction. I was talking with more than 2 customers service team and I've been told that they are going to call me back.

Then after not receiving a call all day, I called back on November 24 rd 2017 . I spoke with one of the customer service supervisor, his name is farid and explained the situation.
After sometimes he understood with my situation and souq will do the investigation. In 2 hours I received a call from souq team and I have been informed that transaction is cancelled. He said the money will return in next 3-5 days working day. He even advise me to make a report to police office, which I did on the next day.

Today it's been more than 10 days and I still not receive my money back. I called back yesterday evening and still did not get a proper answer from the customer service team. keep calling and from souq always answer someone will call you back but nerves call back, Seems like they don't communicate each other every day calling I need to keep repeat a whole story to all the customers service I was talking with.
I would be very thankful to you if you could look into the matter as to why this delay has happened and provide our refund at the earliest.

Your promptness in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
