I can say for every one" do not believe the reviews if you want purchase new product. I was bought Samsung A52 5g from ETOREN the device arrived quickly, but only five minutes of use was overheating. I tried all the methods, from factory reset to change in settings, but is more hot to the point that you cannot hold it in your hand. I contacted them about this problem. In the first, they said that the device is new and will overheated for just a period of four to five days. I waited for this period for the same problem, but it increased even more. Then they told me to do factory reset for the same problem. Then told me to ask for a repair request and then I shipped the device to them knowing that I told them about the problem in the first two days of receiving the device. The surprise is that they found a heating problem in the device, but they told me that we will return the device to you without repair or replacement, because those who estimate the problem do not upgrade to repair or replace (I mean overheating, but this is no problem for them).
The device has a factory defect, believe me do not buy from them, I do not recommend them at all, they will respond to my comment this to convince you that they are confident, because this is policy in responding to negative comments to convince you buy from them, as I did with me.
Knowing that, they have returned the device to me with the same problem, the first two minutes of using too much heat, unfortunately the price of device in my country less than its price.

Dear Sharafeldin Elawad,
We would like to clarify some points towards your comments.
The first steps when we receive feedback of defects is to verify the fault and at the same time try troubleshooting. This is to avoid time and cost if we were asked for ship back at once.
Regards to "overheat" and "battery drain" complains, we would usually ask to observe if it persists after few days of use. New phone might sometimes feel hotter (not overheat) for few days as the processor is running in background to set up apps and copy data. We also note that this heating observation may be subjective to different individuals as some will compare it with a different phone which has different specs and hardware.
Regards to your comments that "we found the overheating problem but returned the phone." We wish to correct your misunderstanding of our message - We found the heating to be of normal level, no overheating observed and thus proceeded to return without action. We have checked it internally and also sent it to Samsung service centre (as it is still under their warranty) and no overheating was found as per your complains. We wish to assure you that we have arranged shipback and cost of return, there are also no reasons we do not proceed repair at official service centre under official warranty if the overheating issue has been diagnosed by service team.
Hope we have clarified the situation further.
I ordered a new phone from Etoren - they advertise delivery in 5-8 working days. My phone arrived after 14 working days, and the phone they sent had a broken seal!! So the phone wasn't new. Don't expect your order to be delivered on time, or be as advertised.

Dear Edward,
Thanks for your purchase at our store. We are sorry that our service did not meet your expectations and we would like to provide some clarifications regards to your feedback.
Delivery days
The item you ordered Galaxy S10 Lite is a discontinued model, launched over a year ago and thus there are now quite limited stocks available. We managed to arrange stock from another warehouse which still carries this model and therefore it took 2-3 days more than expected for logistics.
At each of our product pages, you will see Estimated date which the item will leave warehouse, (in case of item you purchased, it is estimated at 1-3 work days as our order processing time). Next, based on country of delivery and delivery service selected, in your case UK standard delivery, you will see 5-8 work days. The Estimated delivery days is actually 6-11 work days. All dates provided have been indicated as "Estimated" on our site
Broken Seal - One of reason for the open seal is due to the age of stock and model which sat in the warehouse. Our warehouse team would sometimes check to ensure that the unit is still in perfect condition before packing it in order to make sure your do not receive "Dead on Arrival" item. All items from our store are absolutely 100% brand new and we do not sell any refurbished item. If you do find any indications that the item is used, please do absolutely contact our customer support to report this issue.
Finally, we understand that all our customers are anxious to receive their order as soon as possible, and we would always do our best to dispatch the order soonest. Most of our orders are delivered much within our estimated time. However, there are various factors, both in/out of our control that could affect our delivery days.
Thanks for your feedback, we are not perfect but we ensure that we always do our best to get item into hands of our customers as quickly as possible!

Wrong charger.
Good product with a swift and quick shipping.
3 Stars because the cellphone came with the wrong charger. This charger does not work in Portugal.
Editing review after support contact. Swift contact and they sent a charger adapter. As soon as I receive it I will edit again to 5 Stars.
Thank you very much!

Hello Carlos, thanks for your positive feedback on service you received!
Regards to the charger, we source our products from different countries worldwide in order to offer best prices. The source of item and therefore the charger, might not be the same as your country. As all items are brand new unopened in original factory condition, we do not open the seal/box to replace the original chargers. We do provide compatible adaptor plug in the parcel, please contact our customer support in case you have not received it.

Rating 4 instead of 5 to show this is real lol.
Aussie warehouse was closed due to covid, but still got my phone from Singapore within a week! Poco x3 nfc was brand new in full packaging, just as expected. Decent prices for phones not available locally!
First time to order smartphone 17 january.,. Supposed to be delivered today friday 29th january around 12-1PM.. 3 pm still no sign.. I tracked my parcel Via dpd.. found out it was delivered unsuccessful.. MY shipping address on their invoice Is my name name and company's name (because no one in the house) Lo and behold they just put my name and company's address , (NO COMPANY'S NAME)How on earth will the delivery guy know where to deliver? Cause its an industrial estate every company have the same address...
Been hours calling dpd, to no avail.. either its just ringing or busy...
Now I am left with changing delivery date and try and hoping to see the delivery van in the business compound.. I have no problem with wonda mobile,,, A little bit of savings is not worth it..

Dear Fernando Perez,
Sorry for the inconvenience you encountered. To clarify, we do not modify delivery address from customer's input and all address information information are automatically transmitted to DPD in order to generate DPD address sticker label. We believe that there might have been a technical problem on the data received. We do accept this responsibility of failed delivery and have engaged DPD to investigate and resolve this issue. We accept the responsibility for this failed delivery.
We are truly very sorry for this inconvenience. As I understand from my colleague, they have provided compensation on delivery fees for the inconvenience you had to go through and that you have also managed to contact DPD regards to rearrange the delivery. If there are other problems we can help you with, please contact us anytime.

Regarding your payment, please note that all payments are processed via 3rd party payment processors (eg, Paypal, Stripe, Banks etc) for all ecommerce store. You may note that in general any payment/refund action from your account/refund process is processed by them and it may take 2-5 days delay for status to be updated in your account. This process is 100% handled by the payment processors and unfortunately, we do not have any control on the banking process.
In any case, you should feel safe to know that in case of any genuine failure to receive your refund, you can simply contact the payment provider or your credit card company to enquire.
have been waiting for important information from their customer service for a week, no one is responding.
They are good for taking the money, but once it is sold, there is no one left.
This site is not serious, I definitely do not recommend shopping.

Hello Fabien,
We take this feedback of no response from our customer support seriously. I would like to clarify with you that the mentioned order ID has already been completed smoothly without issues on 18th Dec 2020.
Your current feedback is actually related to a separate general enquiry email you sent us on 21st Jan 2021 regards to Paypal payment failure for a 2nd order you are trying to make. We have actually replied to you on very same day that we will need to check this with Paypal and received your acknowledgement. I hope you have not missed that email. We are puzzled that you have left us a feedback now on the 2nd business day after your enquiry that we have not responded for a week.
We kindly request for you to allow time for us to follow up your enquiry and get Paypal support to contact you. We like to share that we (and all eommerce sites) do not have access to your Paypal (or any credit card/bank) account details and do not participate in processing your payment for security reasons. I hope this information is helpful to you for next ecommerce purchase.
For now, we are relieved that we have not missed to reply you for a week as you have mentioned., hopefully you can also kindly reconsider your review to rate us fairly. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have further enquiries. Our customer support is only available on business days Monday-Friday and we always strive to reply all customer enquiry within next business day.
Be prepared to wait longer than the stated shipping date
I was a little bit sceptical about ordering but read the reviews and decided to take a punt. The one criticism I have is that whatever date they give you as a shipping date, be prepared to wait a heck of a lot longer. They are also not proactive in telling you that your order will be shipped significantly later than stated, you have to contact them to find out where it is. I had to contact them twice as they missed both dates they had given. THAT said, if you are prepared to wait 10-14 days, then it's worth the wait. I have a great product at a great price.
UPDATE in response to Etoren's reply:
When I contacted Etoren on 6th to find out the shipping date (it was past the expected delivery date stated on the website) they told me it would be shipped on the 8th. It wasn't. I contacted them again on the 9th as it had not been shipped nor had I heard from them. I received a reply and the shipping notification on 11th.

Hello Tracey,
Thank you for your feedback and overall satisfaction with us and your purchase! We would like to clarify the delivery time of orders from our site. At the product and checkout page, we provide estimated dates "Estimate to leave warehouse" (in case of UK orders 1-3 working days) and estimated delivery 5-8 working days (Standard Shipping)
We received your order on 4th Jan and our customer support replied your email sent to us on 6th Jan that your parcel will be sent to our courier on 8th Jan (which is 4th work day). The courier then received and processed next work day on 11th Jan and you received delivery on 12th Jan. Your order was actually delivered on the 7th working day after placing order. I believe the misunderstanding is that shipping days should be counted in working days, not calendar days.
We are sorry dispatch date was bit longer than estimated due to high volume at the moment, so sometime we do miss the estimated dates. We definitely do our best to always complete all orders as quickly as we can, We hope this clarifies it further.
Hope to see you shopping with us again!

Fast and correct delivery at great price. One small note is that the website doesn't clearly state what type of socket the charger that came with the ordered phone was for.
Commission fees when you buy a product with Etoren
I received my Samsung phone at 856€ (shipping included) but I received commission fees (25€) so I paid a total of 881€ and Etoren never told me about it before. That's disappointing from them.

We can confirm that we do not collect addition commission fee as you mentioned.
i hope this clarifies. please let us know if you have further questions.

I bought a camera and the description of the item did not match the heading. Also it was hard to find out the filter size and I initially ordered the wrong size filter.
Response to my queries was quick and once we had sorted out that what I had ordered was what I was wanting to buy, and, the filter order was cancelled it went very smoothly.
In summary rocky start but efficiently dealt with.

Dear Mr Murray,

Sold me a Samsung A71 that got a couple of dead pixels, probably it is fake Samsung or perhaps they sell cheaper versions that supposedly be sold in Middle East and not UK and EU as Arabic was written all over the box, just pay a bit more and get it from local amazon.
Reply from ETOREN2020-12-14
Hello Morteza Nik,
Sorry to hear on the incident. We would like to assure you that all our items are 100% brand new and authentic.
Dead pixels do happen sometimes in all kinds of products that uses LCD display. If it exceeds a certain number of pixels, it may be eligible for warranty claim. This is in line with market standards for treatment on dead pixel cases. Please do contact our customer support for more information.
Note: regarding your comment:
"probably it is fake Samsung or perhaps they sell cheaper versions that supposedly be sold in Middle East and not UK and EU"
It is not true that there are cheaper/inferior versions of same model to be sold in Middle East and better ones for UK/EU. All models are produced in Samsung factory with quality control and equivalent/same parts. Unfortunately, we do not support your comment as it sounds discriminating to imply that cheaper version be sold in Middle East.

Communicating with Etoren's CS is a major headache - you can only use their message function and the drop down options are poorly organized.
The product arrived on time and seems to be working properly.
Despite the poor communication with the company, I am going to buy another phone from Etoren, because unlike other websites, Etoren's listings are very accurate.
I must say that I was a bit apprehensive in placing a order and this was first order on Etoren. However I was consistently notified about my order status and the order was delivered within 03 days.. well above my expectation. I order a samsung Galaxy S20 FE and certainly happy with the product.
