1 Breezer  · Samsung phone – Australia beware. Samsung phone not original. When I emailed support they don’t reply. items come from Hong Kong. No recourse.
1 Fadi  · Scam Alert – This company is totally a Scam. I wish i can take them to court !! This company has absolutely no regard for Australian consumer guarantee laws
1 James  · Faulty batteries – Bought a camera from them. The battery they supplied with it was faulty. They refused to acknowledge this or send me a new one. Avoid.
1 Disappointed   · Disgusting company! – Ripped me off and refuse to return my faulty phone unless I pay more money! Never ever again! Stay away!!
5 Calos  · Samsung A10 – The website is user friendly with hundreds of items and phones to choose from, and they post the items fast
5 min  · excellent – it was easy to find product and many range to choose product the one i ordeded was good condition arrive on time

The Galaxy Buds were good – The Galaxy Buds Plus that I received were perfect connected to my phone without a problem, but the only thing I was dissapointed in was that I received my Galaxy Buds Plus in Chinese. Show details

Great service, great prices and great products! – I recently bought a Google Nest Hello doorbell from TobyDeals and it came in excellent condition! It was thoughtfully wrapped in bubble wrap and other standard packaging and the doorbell itself was in the original sealed Google box. Honestly, I was a bit sceptical of TobyDeals at first after seeing some negative reviews, but my experience with… Read more

them was nothing but positive. If you're having doubts and the product you want is too good to let go, just go for it and buy it!

Not an English version – Ordered English version of snipperclips for a Christmas present and received something else (as pictured below) Tried contacting Tobydeals a few days ago and have not had a response yet. Maybe this will help my niece and nephew learn a new language!

Defective phone received and no reply from customer service – Purchase and delivery was fairly easy. Phone received was defective. Swollen bump on back near camera and fingerprint as shown in pics. Could be due to defective battery? Emailed support 5 days ago and reminder again but no response received yet. No phone number provided for quicker contact. Only few more days to avail 14 days money back warranty. Would want a replacement/compensation as soon as possible. Show details

Best deals but if there’s a problem you may as well chalk up the loss – Bought a poco F2 Pro phone and got it for a great price. They really were so much cheaper than the rest of the market. So if you purchase and nothing goes wrong, you are golden... BUT I had an issue with the phone. I sent it back under warranty. They received the item and processed sent it back. They didn’t fix the issue. I’ve resent it back to… Read more

them and they are working on it. I’ve pretty much written off the phone now. I’ve been in warrant for 4 months (and counting) and no result.

Pros Super prices when doing comparatives

Cons Based in HK Warranty service takes a very long time Failed to make repairs Pretty sure they’re closed down Service is only via a system where you pose back and forth. No email or phone number

So buy at your own risk. If nothing gies wrong with your product you’ve struck a great deal. If something goes wrong be ready to write off the product.

My suggestion is to pay the extra for onshore service and warranty support for peace of mind.

Cracker deal – I bought from Toby Deals 'au' because they offered me a cracker of a deal on a Oneplus Nord phone.....around AU$500. There is always a downside risk when buying from an overseas supplier, which is that you will not get the consumer protection and service support levels that you would if you bought in Australia.....at a considerable premium. It… Read more

is a risk/benefit equation and when it works, it really works, and when it doesn't, it doesn't. As long as you are clear about that, you are therefore prepared to wear the potential problems, if and when they occur.

As it happened, Toby and co sent me the wrong conversion plug for the charger they supplied, which meant I had to get one here for a small extra outlay. I didn't mind as I still got the deal I wanted.

The answer to Toby's critics is that it offers a very skinny price for a reason. And if things don't go well, you are not going to be consumer dutchessed like you would with an Australian retailer. If that is a problem, steer clear of them.

They were good, sorry to see them go – I have put an order for a camera lens to Toby Deals AU on 16 December 2020. The deal was hard to pass, as they offered 35% off regular price. On 18 December, the order status changed to "shipped"., and I also got a tracking number. On 19 December, I could not login to my account on the tobydealsau.com website, as the whole website was taken down.… Read more

On the front page, they exhibited the message: "Due to Covid, since 19 December 2020, we are closed down, and no longer conduct the business. For warranty issues, contact the email...".

So, my stuff was shipped a day before they closed for good. I was a little bit concerned. But the tracking showed the parcel reached Australia. On 23 December, I got the parcel. The lens looked brand-new, and no counterfeit. That's 7 days since I placed the order. I give the company the 5 stars out of 5. I consider their unbelievably cheap price the close-down sale. Sorry to see them go.

As for the people who said: "I order the stuff early December, so that to receive it before the Xmas, but the parcel did not come, and they do not answer my emails", I will tell them the following. The cheap price means the low customer service. Apparently, they are an honest company, and they will eventually ship the product, even if they do not have it at the moment. Especially if you are buying a popular product such as the phone. Being a low-service seller, expect them to deliver the stuff anywhere between 2 weeks and 2 months. Do not expect them to answer the emails (promptly), especially of the kind: "A week has passed, where is my stuff ?" You pay the low price (which is important for you !), so do not expect the high service level. Amen.

Would have got 5 stars, BUT - - – After reading lots of bad reports, bit the bullet and bought 2 x Samsung S20+ on 1st Dec. After 10 days of nothing, no updates on order, I sent 3 emails over 5 days, all for no response, this is why I give 4 stars, not 5. Then on 16th Dec, email indicating Order posted, 5 days later I had my 2 phones in perfect new condition. At $650 LESS per phone than the usual local shops, I feel great about Toby Deals, and would use again. Show details

Arrived as described, great price – My Mavic drone arrived safe n sound, quite a prolonged period between payment and dispatch but once the tracking number was provided it was a reasonable time frame ( Hong Kong to Australia) correspondence was generic but accurate. Suggest paying with PayPal in case there is a drama. $600 saving... happy camper!  Show details

Sad to see them go – 5 star accuracy for all items ordered. I've ordered 4 times from them, all of them had a quick turn around of 2-4 working days. Loved the cheap deals and quality products. Show details

Comparative pricing but if anything goes wrong you cop it, no warranty to help you – Cheap option and ended up costing you even much more than normal, product wasn't suitable for AU and no warranty Show details

Please be aware of this company ! – Bought off TobyDeals AU. Delivery times are terrible. The only reason that they sell so cheap is because the models they sell vary resulting in certain functions to not work (eg. Samsung Health Monitor) due to the model being for another country in my case Taiwan, yet I ordered and live in Australia. Avoid this company. Show details

fraud – This company is a fraud, they were in the news for tax evasion and GST evasion. I bought a phone from them, after a month the phone restarted multiple time over the day out of no reason. I asked them to get it repaired, which they did and asked me wait for 4-6 weeks. And then after 6 weeks they said, the phone will take more time to be repaired, hence will give you a 80% refund for your usage and as per the market price. Total fraud and scam! Show details

Terrible service if any fault developes with your product – This company has absolutely no regard for Australian consumer guarantee laws. at least some 5star reviews appear fake: the accounts seem to have a random object photo, the review wording is generic and do not appear to specifically relate to any product and if return/warranty claim is listed, no mention is made of the service experience.all the… Read more

halmarks of copy paste and random box ticking... If a fault developes, they will hide behind the manufacturers warranty with no investigation into the fault itself and will try to extort and additional $104 from you to ship the faulty item back. Do do trust them with electronics.

Denial of factory warranty – I purchased a Dyson V11 and after 13 months the trigger broke. When I approached them for warranty they told me the warranty was only 12 months so bad luck. I approached Dyson looking for the part to repair my machine and they told me the machine had a 24 month warranty and they sent me a vacuum head with no hesitation. Tobydeals would still refuse to accept the item was still in warranty. Beware, they are scammers. Show details

If I could give zero – My gripe is the terrible service. They sent me a broken screen protector and wouldn't replace it. I sent pictures which they quibbled over. Ridiculous. I also bought 2 phones and it was near impossible to get any service support. They are terrible. I will never buy anything from Toby deals again. These are the type of guys who give online shopping… Read more

a bad name. We now pay more and shop at JB Hi-fi where if anything is wrong or broken they simply replace with a smile. I learned my lesson.

⚠️ Don’t buy if you’re in Australia – Buy from an Australian based company and not only support aussies but be protected by Australian consumer laws. Aussies be warned they purposely named and advertise their site so we think they’re an Australian based business, hence the au. THEY ARE NOT and They ship out of Hong Kong and will send you an overseas versioned product if you’re lucky… Read more

that’s similar to what u ordered, and PayPal Won’t protect you as they will just send a link to confirm something arrived so if you want to return it you have to pay the shipping fee and you lose out anyway. This is after the fact that you will wait 3-4 weeks for it to arrive in the first place. They don’t respond to emails, and if they do u will get a generic “blah blah blah” response ignoring what u at actually asking. Positive responses you see below must either work for them or are family members

Scammers sent me a a Chinese copy after advertising in english – Scammers sent me a Chinese copy of the game after advertising in english then PayPal made me send it back for a refund. The return delivery cost more then half of what the product was worth and I did not get the delivery refunded. Watch out these guys have more then one site where they scam people. The cheaper prices are not worth the headaque Show details

Total waste of money – Purchase an Samsung galaxy Tab A7 2020 on 27 of November 2020 for my son Christmas present. Received the item and the charger is not original Samsung. And now my son complaining because the tablet is not charging at all. I hope tobys do something about it. Thinking the supplier is Australian but they turned out to be in Hongkong

Didn't deliver my product – I ordered an OnePlus 8T during the black friday at a super good rate. After a month with no updates nor replies to my emails, I had to ask PayPal for a refund. What's worse is that I lost the black friday window to get a good deal from a decent store. Show details

Order arrived but not fully convinced – Ordered the new Samsung air buds as a gift for Christmas. Recieved order in Australia 2 days after it was shipped from Hong Kong (took 10 days to process however). Chinese writing all over the box but looks legit. Guess we will find out Christmas morning.
