WARNING - Stay away from this UNETHICAL company!
Their one-year warranty is a scam. I bought a phone from them on 3 Apr 2014. Sent back the phone due to faulty network problem on 13 Aug 2014 with tracking number RC625448365SG. Phone was delivered to a China post office on 19 Aug 2014. But they stubbornly refused to collect the item from the China post office for over two months. In Oct 2014, they finally said they collected the phone and have sent the phone to their factory for repair. However, I told them from the start that I wanted a replacement not repair. They did not clarified with me they cannot do a replacement or refund at that time. Now I have even asked them to return the phone directly to me without repair. Again, they refused to follow my instruction. Very horrible experience which lasted over 2 months. I have since given up on hopes of getting my phone or money back. After reading similar complaints from other customers, I realized their modus operandi is the same. If you return your defective item to them, they will delay you for two months claiming that the item is not delivered to them. After that time, they will tell you they collected the item, and sent it to factory for repair. Again, another delay where they tell you they will push the factory to repair - but there is forever no final outcome on this. If you had unfortunately bought a phone from them, and your phone encounters a problem, please NEVER send back the phone to them. You will get so frustrated with them telling you the phone Is not delivered to them (despite the tracking number showing the phone is ready for pickup). And after they finally tell you they collected the phone (which is after a long time of 2 months) - they will tell you the phone is sent back to factory for repair (although I asked for a replacement). There is no one-year warranty at all. I have since bought the same phone elsewhere which made me realized two new points. First, Etotalk charges you if you want the original packaging to be shipped to you. However, there are many other sellers who ship the original packaging without extra charges. Second, I noticed the security seals on the phone battery are missing in the phone I got from Etotalk, whereas the new phone that I have has all the security seals intact. This means Etotalk has very likely sold me a REFURBISHED phone - not a brand new phone! This may be the reason why they want to charge you if you ship the item in original packaging - so that they can disguise a refurbished phone as a brand new phone. In conclusion, this is an extremely unethical company that you need to stay away from.
