Forced Unfair Cancellation Charges

Circular runs a mobile devices lending business on monthly subscription. I have signed a 3-month contract for $327 for a iPhone 14 pro max. On the second day, I discovered the phone was not compatible with the game PUBG mobile. I have emailed Circular to request for an exchange to an older model. Instead was forced to cancel and pay the full cancellation of 3 months. On the third day, I have emailed Circular to request for a waiver and is satisfied to forfeit the first month $109 which was already paid in advance. The phone is brand new and used for only an hour. Circular is not honest, respectable, understanding and flexible to its customers' needs and satisfaction.

Have not received the device

Have not received the device. Placed a subscription on 14th Aug, till date have not received any response on delivery date. Feels like a scam...

I just got the Oculos2

I just got the Oculos2. Box was incomplete. Items listed were not In bow. And when I finally got chargers to charge and use, I can’t sign in cos previous user has locked his username. So I’m stuck. Device came looking dirty even though it was mentioned as lightly used. Very disappointed

Hi Ariff, thanks for highlighting this delivery delay. Our delivery partner was held back at another location, but he should have given you a heads-up instead of having you wait up for it. We've since emphasized to them about on-time delivery and will ensure this doesn't happen again. We're truly grateful for your review.

Late delivery

Due to any period. Order before CNY but failed to honour their promise delivery before CNy. Due to lack communication and caused misunderstanding about the delivery. Gift for my spouse before CNY.

Hi Lian Hua, thank you for the review. We are sorry to hear that you had an unpleasant experience with us. We are keen to understand the situation, hence we will be contacting you via email. Hope to hear from you soon.

there is no clear period how long will i need to pay, aside stated (12month+) will be very confusing for your client.

Reply from Circular2022-11-29

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review here. Here is an outline to show you our subscription structure: Choosing a device on the 12+ months subscription means that you need to pay monthly for a minimum of 12 months. At the end of this period, you may choose to renew your subscription and continue to use that same device, hence the "+" on the end of the subscription term. We hope this helped! Do reach out to us if you experience any further troubles.
