“They no longer deliver to most of the Gulf, they want you to order from Amazon which not only costs more in most cases but is also slower at shipping.”
“I will never ever recommed anyone for your products. I always preferrd to buy from souq but i was so disappointed. Especially their courier service from Q express who never deliver the product on time. Even after raising complaint there customer never give a damn! The courier guy asked me to come nearest metro station at 5pm and i waited there for couple of hours but that guy finally switched of his phone and when i raised complaint their customer service person said they cant do anything. I was so tired and sad follwing up for my product which was so urgent. From now onwards ill never ever buy anything from souq. It really broke my heart. Thanks for your great service souq and Q express.”
“RIDICULOUS , poor, pitiful, miserable, wretched, , insubstantial, unsatisfactory, worthless, absurd, and MUCH MORE WORST company SOUQ.COM
ITEM WAS FAULTY NOT WORKING, FIVE TIME I COMPLAINED FOR EXCHANGE/RETURN BUT NO RESPONSE
WASTE OF MONEY TIME”
“Hi Online buyers,
Good day.
I have been souq customer since 2010. Bring a heavy online buyer I had mixed experience with souq. But recently they are simply horrible. Let me highlight some of their pathetic display:
1. Fake commitment of same day delivery.
2. Very late delivery.
3. Untrusted sellers
4. Fake products
5. Closes ticket without solving (the most annoying thing I have encountered after Amazon took over)
I urge you to buy from different sites(international trustworthy carriers). If you have no other option then go for the products are "Fulfilled by souq". Apart from fulfilled by souq is not an option. Take the screenshot while ordering. Thus you can escalate any misconduct to consumer rights department.
Have a safe and pleasant shopping..Take care.”
“Don't even think of buying anything from this website, they care about the seller more than the customer, and they have a really bad customer service.”
“WILLFUL CHEATER!
KNOWINGLY SELLING COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS PROVIDING NO WARRANTY.
I had great regard for Souq and always recommended them for online purchases. However, I had ordered a new Sony Xperia Z3 (32GB, Android) online through Souq.com. The Sony mobile phone supplied is a counterfeit. Within 3 weeks the brittle mobile screen cracked with impact with my keys kept in my front trousers pocket. On calling their customer services, to my surprise, I am told this item does not carry a warranty and I should get it done from their recommended repair shop.
Can anyone imagine a Sony mobile is sold without warranty? Souq knows the sold product is counterfeit and thus as willful cheating does not provide a warranty.
I did not receive any response from Souq in spite of many follow-ups online. Later, on my follow-up messages; I started getting a standard repeated message:
"This ticket has been closed as we haven’t heard back from you for a while after sending you our resolution and response. However, don’t worry you can still contact us via the Contact Us page on our website or calling our Customer Services Team https://support.souq.com/helpdesk/tickets/15910246"
Currently, this product is lying as a waste. The screen replacement cost around AED 170-220/- which is around 50-70% of the mobile cost. I would like souq.com to take responsibility for their products sold thru their portal and get this mobile repaired or amount refunded immediately.”
“Don't buy anything, they cheated and took my money, I ordered a mobile phone from souq.com on 26th November, after 5 days I received my mobile phone delivered by qexpress, the package was a sealed with a plastic cover and it looked like a new original one,it was a cash on delivery so I paid him and he left, after opening the box I am disappointed because at first look I spotted too much dust inside camera lens when I chek clearly I have seen that not only that dust inside camera glass was also scratched, when I observed more I spotted back cover has also not clean and it has some marks on it so I am sure that that phone was a used mobile phone and they packed very well and give it to me, so I decided to return and I contacted them and file a complaint about defective item, I have done that within 2 hours after delivery, first seller message me and ask me to check for any kind of plastic protective sheet on camera glass, I check that and send the pictures as a proof to show scratches and dust inside, it was clear in the picture that is a problom they accepted it and agreed to return. On December 2nd, 2018 same man who delivered it came for returning, I turn on the mobile phone and show him what problems have, he checks and assured that everything inside was in the box and left with the item for return, I didn't get any update since so I contacted them after 5 days, they said maybe its delayed because of holidays, few more days passed contacted them on 8th, 12th, 16th 18th, 21st, 23rd, 26th in the month of December each time different customer care executives picks up the call and holding call for 5 to ten minutes, apologise for they're mistake and promised me within 2 days time amount will be credited to my souq wallet, every single time they did this. on 28th December It's been over a month spend more than 1 hour speaking with them I started losing demanded them to speak with the manager, they said that their manager will call me within 24 hours so did wait and expected call from their side, they didn't call, I waited for 1 more day expecting call, No they didint call me, So I decided to call them and call them said my problom and he put my call on hold and ask me for same old 24 hours time, and I said " I want to speak with manager right now" he didint say anyting he just hang up call its been over a month contacted them via phone calls, emails, twitter, and facebook still no help, if you dont want to lose money and time stay away from souq.com, such an awfull experience with them Do not buy”
“FRAUD SELLERS AND POOR GRIEVANCE MANAGEMENT POLICY - i bought laptop and found it to be a used item and returned it within one week and tried to contact endlessly the souq company for refund - every time a different call center agent will reply without proper policy outline regarding refund and after almost one month i get a mail that item is not valid for refund and u will get your item back. Total foul play in business from such a reputed company. Dont buy please from them.”
“DONT BUY - FRAUD SELLERS
Dont buy from souq.com
There are a lot of FRAUD SELLERS on this site.
I have ordered dell xps 13 9360 and they delivered dell xps 13 9350
It is an older version and there is a huge price difference also. Everywhere it was written model 9360 but the actual laptop was 9350 and I knew it from "windows about menu"
TOTAL FRAUD.
99% of the customers wont realize they are being cheated. DO NOT BUY FROM this fraud website.”
“I just don't want to judge souq.com yet, for I ordered my item just a few hours ago. I have to say that I am a loyal souq.com customer and I've been patronizing this company for almost 5 years now. But now, I am very, very, very, very disappointed. Here's what happened: I just ordered a smart watch from them for AED 665.00. If I didn't call the courier for the confirmation of my delivery time for tomorrow, I will never know that they couldn't deliver my item in my delivery address because they said that my area is out of service! Seriously!? You should have informed the customer about this or at least put a note in your website the areas that you couldn't deliver the items. And you guys seriously want me to pick up my item in Al Quoz after 5-7 days? You people should think that some people tend to go online shopping to save energy and time and yet, you will ask your customer to pick up their own orders just because you can't deliver it which is your mistake in the first place. This is the first time that it happened. I just wanted as well my full refund then that's it.”
“Possibly one of the worst companies for delivery in UAE - always late, don’t care about their customers. Cancel orders for no reason. Make excuses and no compensation for mistakes they make”
“Very Bad Service for Damage protection, No proper response from the customer support team. It has been over 40 days till now the item was not repaired.
I would not recommend this company for purchasing any product”
“Not happy with Souq. They don't even have enough products on board. Amazon does a much better job on their original website. Infact, the smaller companies around the world do better. They really need to expand their range of products, given they are the only ones in UAE. People need more than makeup, you know”
“After 11 days waiting for my item to be shipped and calling customer service team who was not able to speak properly and give me information about the item. I was informed by customer service supervisor that item is not available and they have nothing to do. Very bad service, unclear communication, will never order again from souq....”
“i AM SORRY TO SAY BUT I FEEL SOME OF THE MOBILE PHONES SOLD ON SOUQ.COM ARE FAKE, I PURCHASED A SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 FROM SOUQ COM AROUND 23.NOVEMBER 2018 AND THE PHONE WAS DELIVERED ON 28TH NOVEMBER STARTED TO USE THE PHONE IN 1ST OF DECEMBER AFTER AND IN AROUND I SAW A BLACK SPOT ON THE DISPLAY WHICH HAS INCREASED SO I CALLED SOUQ.COM THEY, IN TURN, GAVE ME THE CONTACT NUMBER OF THE SELLER WHO SAYS THE DISPLAY IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY YES ITS POSSIBLE BUT WHEN WE ASKED HIM TO GIVE THE DETAILS OF SAMSUNG SERVICE STATION HE REFUSED, NOW MY QUESTION WHY A SELLER IS REFUSING TO GIVE THE DETAILS OF THE SERVICE STATION THERE IS ONLY ONE REASON, THE PRODUCTS HAS NOT BEING IMPORTED BY THE AUTHORIZED AGENT AND NOT REGISTERED WITH RA IN UAE AND IF I TAKE THE MOBILE PHONE TO SERVICE STATION THE TRUTH WILL BE KNOWN, SO MY REQUEST PLS DONT BUY PRODUCTS WHICH THEY ARE OFFERING WITH WARRANTY AS THE WARRANTY IS NOT COVERED BY THE LEGAL AUTHORIZED SERVICE STATION.”
“I purchased a 75 inch Sony LED TV.
The television worked only for 2 days. It does not want to even switch on. Worst is Souq as any product warranty purchased on Souq does not work with the brand. Sony declined to address any warranty on products purchased on Souq. This is ridiculous for a one-week-old product.
Everyone needs to beware of this. Souq products might be fake.”
