OtterBox Superstore
30 reviews
Incomplete order, once fulfilled, poor product & the worst customer service – Ordered 3 products in Oct 21, only delivered two. Made a complaint and they sent the missing one. Commuter case for iphone mini 12 broke in April 22. Made a complain and uploaded a photo of broken cover and they asked me to handwrite everything in a piece of paper and send another photo to them as I am in Philippines. So from the order number they cant see I am based in Australia. Made another complaint and had no different result.
Scam site – Scam site, paid for an OtterBox, never came. Never got my money back. No response to complaints. Never buying OtterBox again. Really like their products but this is not the site to buy from.
Nothing received – I ordered a S6 defender case and three weeks later still nothing. The links on the email go to some random site page and the phone number goes to voicemail.
Lesson learnt, check for online store reviews! – Ordered an Otterbox Defender for an iphone 6 plus on the 20th of August, paying extra for next day delivery. Was concerned when the item didn't arrive the next day, however we then received an email advising it had been dispatched, so thought we would follow up with the 'next day' issue once we had received the item. It is now the 28th of August… Read more
and still no phone cover. We have tried emailing and calling the contact details provided and are unable to get through. The 'follow tracking' link on their last email also leads nowhere. At this point having googled the store name and found all of these terrible reviews, we figure we can kiss our money goodbye. As such we have put a stop on our VISA and are making a claim for the payment through our bank. We've never been caught like this before and it just shows how a really legitimate looking site and business can catch you out (I was taken in by the Australian contact details and testimonials). Beware also that they appear to have a number or legitimate looking websites, the vendor on our bank statement is SMARTPHONEPROTECTION, which when googled is another legitimate looking online store with terrible reviews.
SCAMMERS reported to GOOGLE and Mastercard – These scammers have been spending money on my credit card, I put a stop on the card but not before they maxed out my card. How are they still allowed to operate!!!
Non-delivery, no responses – Ordered and paid for otter box product from OtterBox superstore on 4 June, still not received (24 July), no response to phone msgs and emails bounce back. Assume this site is fraudulent.
Otterbox can't be trusted!! – Ordered IPad case from Otterbox Australian website. Product not received and international transaction fee charged when there was no disclosure of this on their website. Not sure how this company is allowed to operate, so many bad reviews that I wish I saw earlier.
Do not buy anything from these people – Paid for two otterbox defender cases - one for 1phone 7 and another for ipad air 2 Not delivered Phone lines don't work No replies to emails Will be complaining to ASIC shortly
Scam!! – I ordered a phone cover and paid extra for delivery within 2 days. After two weeks the product hadn't arrived. I tried email and phone and no response. The phone mail box was full so couldn't leave a message. After another month or emails and failed phone calls I sent a letter. Still no response. After threatening legal action I received a… Read more
response assuring me the product was on its way. I asked for a full refund as had since had to purchase another product and after delayed responses again I was told it would be refunded to my card. This never happened, product never turned up. I did get my money back via my credit card company but the time and energy spent chasing this company was terrible.
Do not try and use them as can only end in disappointment. I hope they are soon out of business as seems a reoccurring theme and I wish I read the reviews earlier!
Received the product as promised but need to work on communication – I was told my order would be delivered the next day and it was here in under 24 hours. However after paying I tried to contact the company regarding a receipt. I used the number contained in the automated email reply I received and it was disconnected. I went to their website and found an alternative number which rung out many times without an… Read more
answer. I found all these reviews and was concerned I had been scammed so I contacted my bank. However in the morning my product arrived as promised! I still haven’t received my receipt or any reply to my email but I think this company just really need to work on its communication.
SCAMMERS – purchased an otter box defender for my Samsung Two business days it took to receive an email saying it wasn't on stock even though website says it is Won't be in stock for a month I reply I would like a refund Another three working business days pass and no reply I email this Marilyn woman - no reply I email the company -… Read more
no reply
I call the phone number and leave a voice message on a mans phone who never calls back
Now I find these reviews a little too late
Have opened a dispute with PayPal and now wait for my money to be reimbursed
Not happy is an understatement
WARNING.. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS BUSINESS – Phone number on this website for this business is not a working phone number, you will get " the number you have called is not connected". Order was never posted, and nothing received. Have requested a refund and not received it. Communication ZERO Until I persisted with emailing and eventually got a response, however it also came with a bunch… Read more
of lies in regards to why my order hasn't arrived.
Which consisted of ..." It was overlooked, they are being discontinued, I've only recently taken over this business and I'm just trying to do my best" blah blah blah
This is the number i was given to contact them on, so feel free to chase up your oder from these people who try to scam people out of their hard earned cash.... (02) 94183576
Have opened a claim through Paypal.
Don't purchase through this business. I hope this review might spare another from going through this hassle.
No Warranty outside U.S – Otterbox used to be great. If your case was damaged under warranty they’d replace it for you. I live in Australia and it was never an issue as long as I paid for shipping and handling. In the Trump era things changed though. Now they won’t replace anything outside the U.S. Amazingly they’ll still let you buy from the U.S and ship outside the U.S… Read more
just so long as you buy from their online store. Buy from a retailer here in Aus and that’s you’re only option when it comes to obtaining a warranty or replacement. I only ever buy from manufacturers with great reputations and outstanding customer service who stand by their product, no matter what. Otterbox once fell into that category - since they’ve adopted the ‘America first’ mentality though, I won’t be touching any of their products in future.
Don’t use – So I’m Not going to go into how incredibly bad there customer service is.. or the fact that there phone number has been disconnected or that they use the WORST delivery service ever.. they’ll say it’s overnight- but it’ll never come... after going through the hassle of changing my credit card details. I’m now going through fraud at my bank to get the money refunded. So frustrating..
Do not order from this site! – I ordered and paid for 2 OtterBox Defender iPad 9.7 (5th Gen) Black on 24/10/17. Was told after emailing that they would be in stock "tomorrow" on 23/11/17. Followed up again a week later, was told on 4/12/17 they would be in stock 7/12/17; and would be "sent to you using Toll Overnight service". 18/12/17 still hadn't received product so… Read more
emailed again. No response as yet (10/1/18). Have tried calling but get either disconnected phone line, or voicemail. Will be following up with my credit card company to get my money back.
Same story! – Just putting my voice out there too! First got an email saying the colour case I ordered wasn't available and would I like another colour. Then just me emailing many times and not being responded to. One email was sent saying it had been dispatched but with no tracking number or anything, all those sections were left blank. So disappointing. I… Read more
have never been scammed before and it is not a nice feeling. The company comes up first or 2nd when you type it into google so it seems credible, but it's certainly not. I have reported it to my bank and it is now in investigation. I hope I get my money back and I hope no one else loses theirs!
SCAM do not deal with, look at reviews – First time i have been ripped off with a order on the internet ,put in a order for a smart phone protector 5 days ago , delivery should have been 1 to 2 days , paid via Pay Pal, after 4 days tried ringing Otter box superstore and no answer to phone calls or email, then rang the co the ABN number for otter box super store is registered to and… Read more
invoiced from, Smart phone protection / mobile phone world / and of course phone numbers disconnected , unanswered and emails not returned.
It is obvious looking at past history of these companies that are all connected and that it is all a scam.
Do not under stand how they think they can make a buck doing this in our connected world, especially as Pay Pal will credit my payment back to me.
Do NOT buy from this site – As with everyone else I wish I read these reviews first! I purchased an S6 defender cover. After entering my credit card details I screen shotted the invoice number (luckily) and that was it, no email confirmation or receipt. No response to emails and the number doesn't work. Never received product. I am currently trying to get my money back through credit card provider.
Also scammed – Ordered inv 4149 7/7/17 item never received. No response from seller. Emailed and phone. I would say for sure it's a scam. Now to lodge a refund with my credit card provider.
Shocking...SCAMMERS – Its a scam!! Paid for a Defender Samsung case 3 weeks ago and apparently out of stock. I've written 3 emails and called their number 2 times...also to note is that the post code listed for Gladesville NSW is not genuine, the post code they show is 1675 when it is actually 2111. RIP OFF MERCHANTS, don't go near them!!
No delivery – Ordered Defender case for Samsung S6 17/3/2017 (Friday). Paid for next AU Business Day delivery. Come 22/3/2017 (Wed) and sent them an email "Where is it ?". Rang them later same day. First call attempt just ended, no hangup, nothing. 2nd attempt went to voicemail which was full. Immediately looked in ProductReview, saw all the above. Rang my bank… Read more
(Westpac) they took it all onboard and will give me a temp refund while investigating it. They gave me the refund as I can prove that I paid for next Business day delivery (Invoice). Thank you Product Review, thank you Westpac, no thank you to Otterbox Supestore
Terrible Terrible Terrible – I wish I had read the reviews on here before I purchased from this seller. Very similar story to everyone else. After opening a dispute through PayPal I finally got a response saying they had not had a response to an email they sent me (an email which I never received) I emailed twice and called three times (all different numbers) and heard… Read more
nothing back. It took the dispute through PayPal to get them to bother to even get in touch. Not good enough. Do not buy from this site.
Never again!!!! – Ordered Otterbox commuter case for Samsung galaxy s5. Paid extra postage to get it asap. The case came after more than 10days and guess what???? They sent me case for IPhone 5. Lucky I paid through PayPal. Opened case and want my money back!!!!! Do not buy from this place. I tried to call them.... Phone not connected. Wrote 3 emails... No reply!!!!
I foolishly bought from these people – I should have checked out reviews of this site first before I bought. I've paid extra for "express overnight shipping" to be sitting here a week later with nothing to show for it. I'm currently in the process of starting a paypal dispute. What a joke this company is. Avoid!
Non-delivery. Non-responsive. **Shop elsewhere** – We ordered a cover on 06Jan17, paying $10 for next business day delivery. Eight days later, we are still waiting. No tracking information was provided. We have emailed this business multiple times, called them, and finally on day 6 advised openly them that a negative review would be forthcoming in 24 hours if they continued to be… Read more
uncommunicative. We provided them with the negative reviews we had found here, pointing out they could avoid another one simply by responding. Nothing. No Response. I'll be putting in a request to get our money back via the credit card company for non-receipt of goods. I have never experienced anything this bad in the years I've been ordering items online. Buyer beware. I did not do my research on this one.
Update 17Jan17 - Got a shipment notification via email yesterday afternoon, indicating it shipped yesterday (over 1 week after we ordered it for next business day delivery). It had a tracking number, but no shipper link to actually track it with. Later, received an email with a tracking number and a shipper. Looks like we may have it by day's end. Crossing my fingers (based on other reviews) that we get the right product.
Update 18Jan17 - Correct product was received, one business day after shipping. Too bad this business took so long to ship. This could have been a 4* review instead of a 1* review.
Avoid - you have no idea when or if you will recieve anything – They took my money a month ago, then nothing. No communication, no phone cover. Sent emails, no response. Called the landline and mobile, no answer, and mailbox full. Had to apologise to someone that they weren't getting their Christmas present. I ordered the same thing late yesterday off anouther supplier via eBay, and have been getting updates… Read more
ever since.
I raised a complaint via Consumer Affairs yesterday to get my money back, and apparently there is something at the post office today. Maybe they only ship after a complaint. If so, now I'm stuck selling the cover at a loss.
Avoid at all costs.
Do not use this retailer - especially if you enjoy getting what you actually order! – I ordered a Galaxy Note 5 Defender case from otterboxsuperstore.com.au, and when it finally arrived, they had sent me one for a Galaxy S6. I made multiple attempts to contact them to arrange an exchange, and guess what? No response. Very poor form sending the wrong item in the first place, but to not receive any response from them? Exceptionally poor form. I would never consider using this retailer again.
Hopeless...don't use this mob – Received incorrect item. Emailed. No response, phoned & told would send correct product. A week later no product, no consignment note#, rang, got answering machine, no Call back...waste of space. Note: they also trade as LifeProof Superstore and Smartphone Superstore. If you check their reviews you will find more complaints about shonky practices
Would rate 0 if i could – Ordered a case for overnight express delivery. Have heard nothing since they took my money. Don't reply to emails and don't answer their phone. SCAM! Do not buy from this website!
Do not order from these guys! – Ordered a Galaxy Note 5 Defender case from otterboxsuperstore.com.au. Received a confirmation email then nothing else for a whole week. Tried to contact them via phone and email but they didn't respond at all. Ended up calling my bank to have the transaction cancelled. I then ordered the same case from an overseas website (UK). A whole month later… Read more
otterboxsuperstore.com.au have sent my order even though I sent them an email requesting for the order to be cancelled. What a bunch of complete jokers!
