I noticed quite a few members ordered their Android TV from geekbuying.com. what is this company like dealing with? Is it a pain in the rear end or smooth transaction?
I noticed they don't add taxes on the checkout bill, do I pay the taxes on delivery?
I know this slightly off topic but I'm one step away from purchasing a MINIX N7.
Thank You

you dont have to pay sales tax on the goods if over internet unless you are in their home state and there is never tax on delivery but check with your state for something called "use tax" i have one in ohio too but no problem as if you are unsure of that bussiness check with bbb( better bussines bureau)

Ontario? you mean in Canada? thats much tricky because you have 2 taes one a national and one a region the online ordering will automatically calculate the tax based on your region

Geekbuying are total scammers. Took my money, never sent me anything and never reply to emails. Made me wait until I couldn't get my money back too. Never again.
Also I'm not the only person to of been ripped off by them, check out all the links to other people who have posted their experiences and been ripped off.
Geekbuying are Mcbub.com, in4dealz.com, freaktab. Once people discover who they are, they make a new site. They post loads of fake reviews online.
Mcbub.com (de-listed from google for 2 years after being caught spamming, fraud, fake reviews, trying to trick google's search engine and also spreading false information).
Here are just a few links I found about them when I was investigating how they ripped me off.

The Facebook link is very good as all the users are verifiable real people. Not like the fake reviews Geekbuying post on the ratings sites.
It will be interesting to see the fake accounts come and attack me now, and what a surprize it will be the same accounts who bump their spam.

Hardly compelling evidence there. I have been more than satisfied with my tvstick purchases. What are you accussing freaktab of?
freaktab = Geekbuying

If you get it you can consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Plenty of other places to shop that don't rip people off. I suggest canceling the order now before it ships.
facebook shows less than one complaint a month since March. You are wasting your time posting here, you only joined this forum yesterday, obviously for a solitary rant. I am not being 'shilly' neither am I blind. Chill out, Chinese style.
please leave the negative comments out of here it doesn't belong to this android stick topic do me a favor just leave your rants in other group ok?

You'll notice the bad reviews are real name users where people logged in by facebook, the one positive review I noticed was posted by "Victor" anonymously.
Mcbub = Geekbuying, thats why they built another site. And already the vast quantity of people who post their complaints have seen through their fake reviews and outright money stealing. Anyone claiming that these guys are great simply works for them.
It's funny to watch shills try to attack me for spilling the beans on these fraudsters.
You Sir, are as mad as a hatter.
I had no problems with geekbuying, I bought two android sticks(Minix Neo G4's) last Christmas took about three weeks to ship to Ireland. One stick failed updating it sent it back and got a replacement for it. It did take a sometime to send back and get a return device, five or six weeks in all but they replaced it and it running great since.

geekbuying not a scam
I ordered the quad core box, through amazon, fullfilled by geekbuying. Ordered on a Sunday, had product in hand FROM CHINA, in 4days!!!
Placed my 1st order with them for a KR-42 on August 27th and received delivery (to Ireland) on September 9th. It was sent from Singapore.
Device is working fine.

I ended up canceling from them due to their dodgy behaviour... voiding/canceling coupons, requesting more money... saying that everyone has paid up but me, but then in their blog it says people need to pay up... whatever.
I ordered from Expansys and I already got a shipping number and Fedex says its on the truck.

Anyone lost their money from them?
I actually bought twice from them in the past but this time it's been more than 2 weeks and my order still shows New. A friend told me that his order is still new after 40 days. I know they will ship it at some point in time, maybe 2-3 months but I was actually thinking to cancel the order. On the other hand it's about 100EU cheaper than anyone else. All those issues with HOX also made me cool down and add a plus on those thoughts and I'm also making thoughts for SG3.
I know, all review sites on Internet have them very low rated (one star) but still they are by far the cheapest.
Any of you guys lost his money from them?
I didn't personnally buy from them but when i was planning to i did a little a search and found that it's really not recommended, some product arrive very late others never.
Yeah, when I saw those reviews I just didn't care anymore... I'd rather pay 100€ more and actually receive the product than to pay less and get burned...
Now th big concern is if you cancel or not. I've seen that most people who lost their money is when they attempted to cancel orders or claiming funds. That gives them the chance to "confuse" things and keep your money while not sendingany product. Here's the question: to cancel or not to cancel?
I'm a gambler so, I'll take my chances and play heads or tail. I'll give some more days though but in the meantime I recommend that noone uses them. I guess that some people, like myself, don't learn from our past mistakes.

in our country they sell the HOX 700 euros so they are poushing us to buy throu ather countrys
i wish one day they will come to there senses and sell things in a more logical prices
I ordered an HTC Desire HD from them last year. It was taking ages and I cancelled the order. They only cancelled it after 2 weeks chasing them about the cancellation. Finally, after a couple of weeks and tons of emails and threats I got a refund. They have awful support and I do not recommend ordering from them.
Not to mention that the product comes from Hong Kong, so you will need to contact HTC to check if they cover warranty.
I bought my LG Optimus 2x from them, it took ages to arrive but it did in the end. It was a hell of a lot cheaper than everyone else too. Heard some bad things about them so I probably wouldn't use them again though.

I bought 2 cameras from them till date and they both arrived in time as described. The 2 purchases were a year apart. The second camera though had a European battery charger. Apart from the above I haven't had to use warranty on either indicating the items must be genuine.
Mind it - for whatever good or bad reason, I hadn't researched anywhere before buying from them. Had I known about their reviews, I would not have bought from them.
My friend recently purchased ipad2 from them but cancelled it before they despatched and got refunded without any hassle.
Don't know what to advice you but hope the above experiences shared help.

Not worth the trouble!
Just come across this post and thought I'd share my experience (to back up the thousands of others you can find on the net) about how ridiculous SimplyElectronics are as a company and to avoid them if you care for your sanity.
I placed an order for a Galaxy Nexus on 30/06/12, enticed by the low price and 'expect delivery in 2-4 days' advertisement. After 6 days of the order being stuck at 'New' (which I found out means that they haven't even processed the order, it means they have accepted your offer of purchase, which means that they take the money out of your bank, and then do nothing for a while) and after sending a few emails asking why my order hadn't been processed even though the Live Stock Report said there were plenty in stock, I decided to cancel my order on 5/06/12. They asked me why, I explained that I needed the phone as I work offshore and was going away, and had ordered it elsewhere from a more efficient company. They said they understood my decision and my refund request had been passed to the relevant department. I left it for a few days. Then when 10 days later the money hadn't been returned I started emailing them again. I have now been sending emails daily asking for my refund, yet 24 days after cancelling my order I'm still receiving apologetic emails saying they're trying their hardest.
I guess the short version of my warning to others is this is not a company you should conduct business unless you have the patience of a God. I know from looking around other sites I'm not the only one who has been a victim of their incompetence. I'm sure they have 10's of satisfied customers all around the globe, I just wish I'd done more reading first. If you can find the product elsewhere that costs slightly more than they are selling them for, pay the extra, it will save you alot of time.

becouse i think about possible problems with the device
I've posted on Facebook, Google + and anywhere else I could think of after my recent attempt to get a One X from them.
Web showed stock, blurb said dispatched & delivered in 3 to 8 days. Took my money immediately and then the problems started.
Used Barclaycard fraud department to get my money back while I fought SE for a refund. 13th May to today spookily enough to get my refund.
God knows how many calls & emails...
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!
And if you already have, use your card company to get your money back.
Just stop right here. If any manufacture start too sell massively obviously some phones will have problemes like 10%. If you see the most popular phones have problemes.
I've got mine and its a model ht23 without any problemes its the first hox I have and the only.
And with expansys you will have internacional warranty for 2years and houses for support on your country. Trust in expansys!

I did indeed NerdGuy, sorry! But working with Simply Electronics the months just seem to blend into each other it takes that long. I was told today that my refund will be with me within 7 days, I'm neither holding my breath nor stopping the daily emails, after 27 days of asking I fail to believe they'll pull their finger out any time soon.
I learnt the hard way also over a month to get my 500$ back. Since then anything expensive I buy in person regardless if it's $100 cheaper online.

Two days ago, I ordered a couple of these: http://goo.gl/9PSGA, and even paid an extra 25 bucks for overnight shipping because I have this certain instant gratification issue I can't seem to shake...
Anyway, I got a tracking number but noticed it was only being shipped First Class ground, which meant a 2-5 day arrival. Obviously, they made a mistake, and I was a little upset about waiting after paying more for shipping than the cost of the actual product.
So, I went ahead and emailed them this morning at 10 a.m. about the issue.
Thirty minutes later, my phone rang with an area code I wasn't familiar with.
It was a dude named "Michael" calling from Flygrip.
He began by telling me that their shipping department had, in fact, dropped the ball, and apologized up front for that.
But, he also told me that he had just personally just driven over a replacement of my entire order over to FedEx to make sure I get them first thing tomorrow morning (FedEx wasn't the original shipper; it was USPS, and those are still coming).
I was pretty blown away by the quick, personal response, but not nearly as blown away as I was a little later, after I happened to re-watch one of their other videos.
That "dude" Michael?
Yeah, he was only the owner AND founder of the company, and had taken time out of his day to personally take care of my little issue.
I was doubly impressed again, to say the least.
Now, I'm just really looking forward to getting these and trying them out, (I got one for my SGSIII, and one for my Evo4gLTE.), and also wanted to ask:
Does anyone else use the "Flygrip"?
If so, how do you like it?
Or, does anyone else have a similar awesome customer service story concerning your Android devices?

edit: Just noticed QBKING77 already made a review video of these things :
http://goo.gl/NM5Kv
whoa. that's awesome though. important to see a business that dedicated to satisfying customers. made me even more likeable to buying myself one.
im just getting into car sales and this is one of the most important ways to make the customer feel appreciated and will give them the desire to purchase from the company again. its a win win for the business because 1. you're satisfying the customer and 2. you're building your reputation. What you did with this thread was just show how good of a company they are and subconsciously referred us to buy from them. I know I will purchase from them. Excellent customer service goes a long way.
QBKing77 loves the flygrip

I would like to personalize one with a picture or logo like seen in the video below. But I don't see the option on their website. Are they no longer doing this?

Also that same guy said he can't find my order lol. Great and stellar computer system they have there. Also their twitter page is a joke.

Hey guys,
So yea I also ordered the GS3 from this site, and received an email and tracking number about my package. I am as eager as you guys, trying to be patient. So is this deal a fake and was just a scam for our money? Or are they truly experiencing shipment issues?
I am just so tired of waiting, its been a fricken week!!!! I ordered my case on thursday, and expected it to arrive after my phone, but it ended up delivering monday. Now this is a JOKE!

Idk, they say it was delayed because of the tropical storm during the weekend? Wtf lol, ups said it was fine no delays soooo. haha
Like dkotagi said, they probably did the shipping labels so they can receive thefunds, so yaaa.
Im guessing they took our money and taking showers with it right now. Replies from support is awful. Takes them 2-3 days to reply back which is lame.
Dude i couldnt wait, so i just disputed the payment on paypal. And i just bought one off amazon wireless for 549.99 no tax free 1 day shipping for me. Checked ebay around the same price so i didnt really care
Getting my sgs3 tomorrow!
hopefully paypal does something because they have until sept 9 with paypal or i get my money back

Im not so sure what to believe.
I have read some good reviews about 1SaleAday, but they all talked about the elongated shipping period. And it might be coincidence that the storm effected it, but I think its a plausible excuse.
SO, I shall WAIT. I will be pulling my hair out, but till then, patience is my new best friend!!! And, I did use American Express, which has a policy of 30 days to ship my product, if not, I'll get my money back. So either way I'll wait. And if I have to wait so long, I might end up waiting for the release of the NEW Samsung Galaxy Note II!!!!
But thats in October... *pulls hair out*

well it barely hit florida. So they are just lying out of their ass.
If left florida during the weekend? so they couldve shipped any day this week and on thursday and friday. So i wont play this waiting game. Id rather just dispute the transaction than wait 3-4 days for a email response every 3 days.
Simply WOW!!
So now I have to wait for another 7-10 BUSINESS DAYS for it to process!! That will be Sept 17 and then you can add 15 Business days shipping time. Looks like we may have to wait till October. I am opening a dispute with PayPal. I am done dealing with these guys. See below for their latest reply:

Can you please email me the correct tracking number as I need to make sure someone is at home to receive it.
Thanks,
Oh and im getting my s3 today with amazon =3 549.99. Shoudlve just paid that extra 50 last week lol
Very shady company to deal with. Also take screen shots as proof and their policy so you can send it to PayPal. Ex privacy policy, email shipment, order status,emails, and this thread aswell
Also leave a review on reseller ratings. Prob do a BBB tomorrow when I have time

I didn't submit for the the fit but I did submit for the the 256 SD Card on the morning of August 20th and received an email from Samsung on the 23rd of August stating that my 2 SD Cards were approved. That's when my status also changed on the promo website to "Congratulations, Your submission has been approved and your gift has been processed and is currently in route". However, I've yet to receive both SD Cards and my status is still the same as it was on the 23rd, without any tracking provided yet. I called today and asked WTF was up with me getting passed over by people who had submitted much later than me and have already received their gifts. I keep getting BS answers and no help from Samsung whatsoever. They just keep telling me to wait patiently, sounds great! I mean isn't this supposed to be a first come first serve, limited supply promotion? I told them the longer I wait and keep getting passed up, the more likely I'm going to miss out and they just told me to wait longer. Gave up trying to get a supervisor on the phone after asking 3 times and they kept telling me that their supervisor would have the same answers and that they can't contact the promotions department in order to see where the hell my 2 SD Cards are.
@Justinphxaz okay thanks a lot for that this same exact stuff they told you is the same exact stuff I told them a lot of us over in the other Forum have been constantly calling and badgering and trying to put something together. We've been sending emails and also going on their Twitter page try the Twitter reps as well
I put in my promotion request on the 19th and received my card on the 30th

Dang and still no luck huh? I've even heard some people submit for one SD Card getting 2 of them, thanks Samsung! That's probably where most of the gifts are and why they're supposedly trying to refresh their wear house. That's what they told me anyways. I asked if their wear house is out of stock, how have people been receiving the gifts then almost every day now for the past two weeks now (that I've seen and or heard of from people on a few different forums) and they had no answer for me, just that they understand I'm frustrated and to please wait longer. Some grade A BS. Not the way to do a promo. Should be first come first serve and don't send out extra gifts, send out the right amount so we all get them in a timely manner. So frustrating.

I have been giving them hell in Twitter over the phone and via email til I find someone who knows what the hell they are doing over there. Don't stop please destroy them in Twitter and also go to their Facebook page. If ya create something we can try and have everyone lime and comment in it. Awarenes!
@playya, does your status still say "Your submission has been approved and your gift has been processed and is currently in route"? Mines been like that since the 23rd. I asked if it's in route, why is it taking so long to show up? Still no answer for that either, just to please wait longer. Basically a big FU to me, nobody there is willing to actually see where my order is.

That's some BS, I've seen so many that submitted on dates like the 22nd and 26th and received their gifts by dates like September 1st or the 3rd. To make it even worse alot of those who've received it want to sell it and not keep it. I'm all for making some money, that's cool. Just sucks they got it before us, we submitted much earlier and someone like me who actually wants to keep the SD Cards, I've got plenty to store on them. They could still sell those cards at a later date, but some how they were allowed to bypass those who submitted earlier than them. Kinda F'd up if you ask me. Samsung's promo team seems like some incompetent D Bags. How hard is it to go with a first come first serve promo that's quantity limited? Hmmmm I'll send out this person's SD Card who submitted on the 25th instead of this one who submitted on the 19th! Seems legit!

I submitted two and my second one came first that's how I found out about the bs
They did say up to 12 weeks, so they are not in any fault really. Why did later submissions get sent out first though is messed up.

Yeah see I'd have no problem waiting....14 weeks if I had to, what's f**ked up is that it's supposed to be first come first serve. They just let people who submitted much later to jump to the front of the line. When it's limited supply you're dealing with it's super frustrating that people submitting on the 27th of August were sent their gifts already. So if Samsung is going to send gifts, they should be sent out in order of first in, first out. It's like they decided last in, first out was a better way of handling a limited supply promo, which sucks. Hope I don't get an email in 3 or 4 weeks stating that the promo supply is tapped out. I specifically pre ordered for the gifts and paid off my phones to be eligible to upgrade early to pre order these damn gifts! Purposely submitted info early on the 20th (email approval on the 23rd) because I was told it was first come first serve. Looks like I would have been better off submitting my info on August 28th or something, I'd probably have my SD Cards by now, I don't even have tracking info or a label created.

If it says approved you shouldn't have to worry as your now guaranteed it. If you were still awaiting approval then they could say there is no more.

Yeah, it's reassuring, it just makes me feel like something is going on where I'm going to get screwed somehow. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me that people who've been approved well after me are receiving it well before me. I've had issues with promos before where I've found it's much better being pro active along the way (calling in and see what the status is) than waiting till the end and trying to see what's going on. It's worrisome because I've heard of a few people receiving more SD Cards than what they submitted for. Who knows how many it has happened with, I'd be much more at ease if at least my gifts had a shipping label made, that way I know I've got 2 physically reserved and at some point will ship.

They also said first come first serve basis. here is an excerpt of page 4 paragraph 2 of their T&C
Gifts are available for a limited time, while supplies last, on a first-come, first-served basis. Gifts may take up to 12 weeks to be mailed to Participants verification of Offer Claim Form/receipt and compliance with these Terms and Conditions.

Sounds great in concept but their terms also say first come first serve. They were first to break the T&C so no telling what else they could break

I'm on Verizon and ordered my fit a day or two after my phone came on the 19th, the fit showed a shipping label generated for a week before it was handed off to FedEx and arrived a couple days later. On August 26th, I put in orders for two more Fit 2's from two other phones. A few days later they were both 'Approved ...' and nothing since. When I called last week and got the Philippine call center they told me there was a delay getting the devices [Fit 2's] to their third party vendor that handles the promo fulfillment. I've seen no updates on the Fit 2's since.
Verizon still doesn't have any non flaming phones available for replacements.
