No customer service
I brought an Apple Watch for my partners birthday. I paid the additional $38 for express registered post. Over a week later the website states it’s still being processed at the facility. Even if it were to leave tomorrow, it’s not going to get here in time. I emailed the company regarding this. No reply. No apology. No further business from me. Buyers beware. I highly advise everyone to pay via PayPal so if your items don’t arrive you can just claim it back
Have been using it for a while, no issues, good service.
I have been using the product for a while, no issues, good service. Delivery speed is acceptable. Overall, good experience.
This lens is a fantastic piece of kit to get into macro photography
The lens is very nicely made and feels solid in the hand. All the controls are very smooth and easy to use. The images are very nice and exactly what I had hoped for, being able to capture incredible detail off small objects, surfaces, and bugs. The lens is extremely compact and lightweight and easy to carry. It's suitable for macro photography as well as general portrait and landscape photography. It really does everything quite well except telephotography. There are a few things that are either non-features or less than perfect though.
Non-...
Read morefeatures: Don't get too excited for the 1.2x super macro mode, it turns off image stabilisation and auto-focus, and 1.2x is not that different from the standard 1x mode, so I'd call this a non-feature. I also think the ring light, while it could be useful for close-ups on stationary objects, isn't that useful for insect photography, and it definitely doesn't replace a flash. It might do adequately in shady areas during the day at best. Don't expect the ring light to compensate for slow ISO, small apertures, or fast shutters on its own. You'll definitely get more out of this lens with a traditional flash and diffuser setup than relying on the ring light. On the plus side, if you don't use the ring light, you can put the lens cover on and then mount filters to the lens that you otherwise won't be able to do if you like lens filters. Less than perfect: One inherent downside of a 28mm (45mm equivalent) lens is that you do have to get quite close to your subject for a good photo and it may scare away more camera shy subjects. It still works though, and insect photography is my primary photographic interest. Conclusion: All that said, the photos I'm getting out of it are very nice and I don't regret the purchase at all. If what you're looking for is a compact and easy-to-carry lens for general use and macro photography, this is a great solution. If you're desperately looking for some increased working distance, get a longer lens, but then you're trading off for weight and size. The only real downside to this lens is the relatively smaller aperture for portrait photography and the like.Great to deal with
I ordered the camera because it was way cheaper then any other price I could find.
I then checked the reviews and found some bad views which concerned me.
However the communication from Toby Deals was fantastic. I got emails advising when it was processed. when packed, when picked up by courier and then its journey to Australia from Hong Kong.
The delivery was surprisingly fast. But the warehouse is in Hong Kong even though they have an Australian contact. I realised this when I ordered the item.
The price was was about 30% cheaper but the service was 1st class.
And the item is as advertised. It does have a UK and European 2 pin cable and an Australian adapter but I had a few 2 pin Australian cables lying around so it was no problem.

Value for money amazing, I found cheaper website, but I got more value with Toby Deals.
Product quality so far looks good, but too early to said, it less than a month since I bought, but it's got warranty anyway.

No stock, no communication. They are scammers
Ordered a phone 2 weeks ago and still no shipment confirmation. Tried to contact them literally 5 times and they finally responded when i threatened to open dispute in Paypal. They said they dont have phone in stock and will try to ship as soon as possible. Still no confirmtion after 2 weeks. I am going to open dispute and claim my money back. They are scammers so stay away from them.

Very happy
I was a little worried, ordering from a site I hadn't dealt with before, but I was pleasantly surprised. There were a few comments on orders taking a while to arrive, so with that information, I thought my parcel would probably take a month or more to arrive. However, it arrived in just over a week. Very happy, it was exactly what I ordered and was around $200 cheaper than other sites. The original email came through quickly to confirm my order. It was about 24 hours later, I got the next email to say it was on its way. The tracking number work...
Read moreed just a couple hours after that. You don't get any text or emails with updates about the delivery, but the link is updated regularly so can track it. Overall I'm very happy, and will have no problem ordering from this site in the future.Great Ear buds for the price
Easy to find what I wanted and at the right price. Very prompt on answering emails. Very satisfied with ear buds when I finally received them.
Was not satisfied with having chase the delivery service for 4 days to get product delivered.
Great Lens for the price.
Fantastic lens for the price. Solid image quality as many online reviews will tell you. No focus issues apart from the very loud AF motor... Lens came with exceptionally good packaging, plenty of bubble wrap, no signs of damage at all. Arrived within a week with standard insured shipping. Highly recommended!

website is clean and easy to use, the delivery and quality of the product was excellent. and also at a vey reasonable price
Great service.
Everything went fine. Ordered a oneplus 8, and it came within 2 weeks. The phone works fine and I got it at a very good price. It was packed well and they even included an international power adapter. Would recommend!

Spam spam pam
I have unsubscribed from their nuisance emails at least 5 times, and still they arrive. They seem to pay no heed to privacy regulations.

Do not buy anything from Toby Deals.
Do not buy anything from toby deals. They don't have any stock as promised. Their shipping is non existing. They promise to have your item shipped within 1-3 business days and 15 days later no correspondence. PayPal refunded the money in less than 24hrs and after they ruled in my favour I received a shipping advice saying that my item had been shipped but no shipping or tracking information. Pay the little bit extra and use local companies rather than scamming overseas garbage!!
Product was shipped timely and arrived very fast.
Very prompt is sending the items. It arrived very quickly. However post sales service could be more prompt. I had contact support a few times before getting a response.
Fast Service
Easy to use website, good customer services, good tracking. Product arrived as expected even with all the Covid-19 restrictions. Would recommend.

It never arrived
Ordered a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE G781 5G 8GB/256GB Dual Sim - Cloud Navy. It never arrived. So after a over a month and multiple emails, that were never answered and a tracking number I never received, I contacted Paypal. Paypal achieved a refund for us. All of a sudden Tobydealsau sends me an email!? Theirs arrived after the Paylpal email stating that they found in my favour and a refund wad granted. Toby deals send me one stating:
We are processing your refund for your order either we have received your refund request for refund or due to be...
Excellent phone and outstanding service
First time ordered through Toby Deals. I am impressed with the service and extremely happy with the phone. The galaxy M51 is a beast of a phone. With full on usage, this phone lasts easily 2 days and then some. I know the battery depends upon everyone's usage but I am comparing it with my other phone, which is find x2 neo. If you are looking for a phone with 2 days worth of battery then go for it.
