Scammed... Ordered an S20 phone and received a small clay brick
Ordered an S20 Samsung phone. Service was great and package arrived within a week however when I opened the box I am shocked to find the charging cords, a clear case and instead of the phone inserted was a small clay brick. BEWARE DO NOT SHOP FROM THIS OUTLET. I have contacted them and also reported this to paypal.
If I could leave a zero star.
These guys would get it. Absolutely horrendous communication, they don't respond to any enquiries with regard to order details such as tracking. I got tired of waiting and decided to cancel the order and get a refund. Still waiting on their response to the first email. Horrible service.
Do not buy from Tobydeals
Do not buy from Tobydeals. Their 14 day returns policy is void if you open the packaging. They will not take it back. They also forgot to send my order and I needed to prompt them 3 weeks after I made the purchase and processed my payment

No stock, poor service, delayed refund
I purchased a pair of wireless earphones as a birthday gift however they were delayed as they didn't have stock. This information was only shared with me two weeks later after two attempts to contact them. This is despite the original email confirming that the products would be shipped within 2-3 days. When a refund was requested, they also stated that it'd be processed in 2-3 days, however it's been a week and I'm still waiting on confirmation that the transaction has taken place.
Don't take the risk if you're buying for someone else or have time constraints.

Good gimbal camera
It arrived one week ago and used family camping
Small tiny and Easy to use.
Need better cover to protect looks cheap
But other functions very nice.
Delivery took one week very fast.

My "brand new" Samsung S20 had clear signs of tampering!
I brought the new Samsung S20 as it was a good price on TobyDeals AU site. The company seemed okay. First off, it said it was 'in stock' on-site however after the purchase they then said it wasn't in stock until 8 days later when it was then sent (I have raised this with ACCC as this feels like false advertising). It did arrive however the seal clearly had been tampered with, it was half off and clear scratch marks around the seal and further proof, the case that comes with the S20 inside the box was dirty with prints on it! Even the power adap...
Read moreter that came with it looks used! I am really disappointed as I have no idea what they have done with the phone and it is a shame because it did look brand new. I have sent multiple emails and raised a refund claim. Awaiting a reply still, I will escalate through Paypal if none. BUYER BEWARE!Valentin S.South East Queensland, QLD
A good experience shopping online
The product is genuine the price is usually cheaper than other websites and of course really cheaper if you compare with another’s physical stores the shipping is really faster I’m really happy with my purchases and I’m going to keep Toby deals as my first option in the future shopping really I can’t understand how they can make for give us that great prices but I love it.

I'd love to see TobeDeals shut down one day.
Terrible as hell. I lost my parcel worth of 183 AU dollars because they choose DPEX as standard shipping method for me. I emailed TobyDeals for the issue and there is no response so far. They have no customer support service. I'll avoid TobyDeals forever and would love to tell my friends to avoid them at all cost.
Purchased a faulty product then charged for shipping both ways
I purchased a Huawei Watch GT2e Hector-B19S - Graphite Black from them, at $x+shipping, the product was faulty from receipt, the warranty was not covered by Huawei, so we had to send the product back (international courier plus insurance at $30+). They received the product, and after much backward and forward they returned the $X only, accepting it as faulty product, yet even though it never worked AND I was requested by them to ship it back via registered post they are not willing to refund the $30+.
Even the Huawei store was surprised at the situation!

Galaxy Watch
Ordered Galaxy watch for my cousin. It was for his birthday. Even with Stage 4 lockdown in Melbourne the watch arrived on time and loved the service. The packaging was excellent and they kept me updated thought the whole delivery process. And lastly the price was the best and it beats all the competitors price.

Very Disappointed
It was not made clear on your website, before purchase, that the Osmo Pocket required a smart phone to activate it.
I do not own a smart phone, and therefore cannot activate the item.
I have written an email to your support address explaining this, and requesting how to return the Osmo Pocket and receive a refund.
(There were no issues with browsing or purchasing from your Website, and the item was delivered in good condition, and timely.)

If your product is faulty you are screwed
Toby deals is grey market buying. Essentially the manufacturers warranty does not apply and where there is a fault, Toby Deals will have you send the goods back AT YOUR COST and IF THEY AGREE THEY ARE FAULTY (important factor as they repair in-house and quite frankly have no idea what they are doing) will credit you somehow to a capped $$.
I’ve had a pair of headphones that were faulty. Bought them in March. It’s now nearly the end of August and combined time in operation under my care, I’ve had 6 weeks use.
The response time PER MESSAGE is...
Read more several days. They love to kill time. They are China based so delivery and pickup takes weeks. Their support did not actually read the question or request but just follow script based responses that are nonsense.Tom F.Greater Melbourne (Metropolitan), VIC

Worst customer service. Stay away!
Do not shop with Toby Deals AU. Firstly, it's obvious, but this is a Hong Kong company and has no connection to Australia whatsoever. Therefor they have no legal obligation to help customers in any way.
The tracking on my order told me that my parcel arrived in Aus 11 days ago. Because they use Toll, the worst courier service in the world it still hasn't arrived. Toll has been no help, so I contacted Toby Deals customer service 5 days ago. I sent a follow up email 2 days ago and have still not received a reply.
I have however received two emails asking me to review my experience. So I was forced to review without my product.
Yes, these guys might be a cheaper option, but believe me it's not worth the headache.

Wait until you got a lemon, then you will see how bad is their RMA!
Buy at your own risk. Prices are good and if you have a working item and it won't break for years you are lucky.
BUT if you will get a faulty, DOA or you will need to use warranty this is when you will see all the bad sides of Toby Deals. RMA working very badly! Forget about what they say on their website about Free Pick Up service. They will be wasting and wasting your time in the hope that you will give up. They will be telling you scarry things that if they find that item is working they will charge you $52+52 for the delivery. And when I ag...

where is my mobile phone ?
No communications from Toby Deals at all after payment
No mobile phone delivery after more than a month of waiting
Further action is being taken so that I may retrieve my costs
Worst purchase experience I have ever had with any online company

I wish I'd never bought from tobydeals
I bought a Samsung Note 9, there was a manufacturing fault with the antenna and the phone had very poor cellular reception. Fair enough, Tobydeals instructed me to send away to a Hong Kong address for repair. That was over three months ago with no sign of the phone and I'm refused a refund.
Communication is very hard, broken English makes it hard for them to understand me and vise versa.
I would not recommend shopping here and I'm sorry I did.....

Poor customer service
I bought a Samsung A 50 from these guys and a week before the warranty expired the phone started having issues with it's screen (common fault) I notified Tobydealsau about the issue and the responded by telling me to do something completely different to what the issue was.. I kept messaging them and they asked. Me to send a video of the issue, in which I did. I never heard back until a day after the warranty had expired, their reply was that the warranty had expired, I replied that the issue was reported during warranty period... Still haven't heard back. Be very careful buying a phone from these guys as they are not in Australia and are Hong Kong based.

Fake Site
Purchased from Tobysdeal. the package arrived in my country and then i was told by the courier company that Tobydeals called back the item without any reason. have sent multiple emails to them and no response yet. tried calling them and the number is not in service. it looks like this is a hoax site which is out there to get your money. i would like warn everybody who tries to deal with this company. Please do not buy anything from this site

Never got a my product

Questions & Answers
Kittyasked
I bought a Nikon camera and need this by end of December. I've sent email to them but no one response, I'm thinking to buy it from other store but I have put a dispute in Paypal, how do I escalate my dispute to get money back? The status in my dispute is waiting for seller's response, and the status of my order is "Paypal Reversed", what does this mean?

It is in the paypal resalute center you have to let paypal review the case.
I had the exact same status but they never actually reversed it. you need to make paypal do it.

I emailed their support email but only got a response 4 days later.
They can be a bit slow with the dispatching and replying to emails but you will receive your phone.
Pls raise to PayPal asap. Toby deal closed business
If you paid by credit card company than raise with them

It's on its way. Calm down. 9 days is nothing. These guys need at least two weeks to ship anything, despite the times quoted on their website. I ordered the same Xiaomi smartphone on the 24th of November, and it only just arrived today. Although initially it ships via a courier called DPEX, it'll be transferred to Toll once it enters Australia. You can then continue tracking it via the Toll website using the same tracking code Tobydeals provide shortly after dispatch (not your order number).
Thank you very much, they finally replied to me via email, saying that it's out of stock and they are sourcing it... Hopefully I'll get it eventually, thank you!
Toby deals are closed down (bankrupted ?) as of 19 December 2020. See if they shipped it before that, if not... you might have to get your money back.

The refund was received but only after I chased it up again. Terrible experience all round.
