“Disgraceful service. The delivery schedule promised is not the case. I had to call 5 times to track an order to hear the same today will be delivered nonsense. 6 days later Still waiting. And the customer service staff are absolutely useless. Poor English and rude. I am a big online shopper and I recommend never ordering from souq it’s a waste of time and money”

“Absolutely awful. All breaks down at delivery- have major logistical problems which they transfer time delays to the customer. Never once met the one day delivery commitment. Don’t bother- use carrefour”

“I made an order which wasn't delivered, then got canceled by the courier who received a missing item and canceled it. Souq didn't even brother contacting me or resubmitting the order. When i called them they were extremely rude and unhelpful and said that i actually have to re-order my self. No apology whatsoever.”

“Souq is the worst company i ever seen, poor delivery service, they deliver my items to someone else and until now they didn't find out any solution for me its been a half month, as per them we will get call and notifications before our item arrives but no body called me i checked the status it was showing delivered, i escalated to them opening a ticket #15245852 but they will reply with different different statement finally they decided to give me half money which is loss for me i refused to take, then they told me they are doing final investigation i dont know what they are investigating, REQUEST TO ALL!!! do not pay online you cannot trust Souq) it doesnt look like an Amazon company) I will update you guys if they get back to me or if i get my money back BUT PLEASE DO NOT PAY ONLINE rather pay some more money and get your satisfaction and item on same time. WORST COMPANY AND POOR COSTUMER SERVICE they dont know how to reply they will just paste template in email and reply to your email.”

“Souq.com never fails to disappoint. Cheap prices that simply arent worth the stress because you'll be lucky if your shipment ever arrives. The worst customer service I have ever encountered anywhere. Still trying to figure out if they take pleasure in giving their customers the run around or if they really are as stupid as they come across. The jury is out. Meanwhile go to the mall instead.”

“SOUQ ADVERTISED AS NEW. RECIVED ITEM IN USED CONDITION. CHARGING CABLE MISSING. BOX CLEARLY SHOWS AS A RETURNED OR FAULTY DEVICE. LETS SEE HOW SOUQ SOLVES THIS IN 24HRS.I DO T WANT WAIT 7 DAYS FOR BEGGING AND FOLLOWING UP. I WILL SHARE IT EACH N EVERY TEXT BOX ON SOCIAL MEDIA. IF THEY IGNORE AND DONT PRIORTIZE THE CUSTOMERS THEN CUSTOMERS WILL FED UP WITH SOUQ. MY LAST ORDER 1 MO TH BACK STILL NOT DELIVERED.. 21DAYS OVERDUE OF COMITTED DATE... IS IT A SERVICE LEVEL?”

“Fake products, I ordered Vans and Converse shoes and both of them are fake. Vans didn't have the inner sole stitched not even glued, it just came off and you see the stitching underneath, The Converse, you just it is fake, sole was uneven, inside of the shoes had bumps. How is Souq allowing 2 different suppliers sent fake goods. I would never order from Souq again.”

“I would give souq only half a star. Worst online shopping website ever !!! Their delivery service is amateurish, careless and negligent. I spend hours in searching and filtering the products I want, I make the payment to avoid all the unnecessary excuses given by the delivery boys. I wait for a week and follow up with the service agent only realize that each time I call my order is out for delivery. End of the day I don't receive my delivery. Non of the delivery boys are interested in delivering the shipment. Souq doesn't provide the details of the delivery boy (assuming its outsourced). I completely agree that Souq is disinterested in improving. I am deleting my account and never going to order anything from souq.”

“I have tried Souq a few times, and can confidently say their delivery service is very unreliable. Three experiences you can expect if you order with Souq: 1. Delivery appears to be outsourced to independent truck owners that speak very little English, so describing a location or delivery time to them is difficult. Maybe I was just unlucky several times in a row, but the delivery people seem to consistently be unable to find even well known places in the Emirates (i.e. The Greens), and this means extended phone conversations in frustratingly broken English to guide them. 2. Souk always sends an auto-SMS message to your phone on the day of delivery indicating you can pay using a credit or debit card. When (if?) the delivery person arrives, they tell you that actually you can't pay by card, followed by something like "Souq website is lying". If you don't have cash, the order is taken back to Souk. (This happened twice to me with large orders that I was expecting to charge to a card.) 3. No delivery person seems to know how to lodge a complaint about the service, and the souq.com website does not offer a clear way to give feedback, so I don't think any future patron of Souq can expect to have a better experience than what I've described. Souq is disinterested in improving. I am very surprised Amazon would lend its name to this production. I will never use Souq again.”

“I have bought several items worth more than 1400 on the dawn of White Friday, however, items I longed for did not arrive even after 15 days although I made several calls to a courier company (QExpress) and Souq hotline. Every time the representative told me that the items are kept in the Dubai hub and are about to be sent to Ajman hub before the delivery. This did surprise me as Souq delivered the rest of the items within a week at most. At last, I got a message which says the order was cancelled due to a technical problem and nobody could give an insight about the delays and issues. I got my money back at last, but this experience left a frustrating and disturbing memory. Why an Amazon company such as Souq can have such an irresponsibility and can't handle the issue within the promised time, instead of a late refund and lost discounts, I would want the items I bought.”

“I am a registered seller on Souq, have sold about 5 times in last month. Most of my items are registered as Same day delivery. Items are in stock and ready to be collected by courier on the same day of the received order. However, each time I have received order I struggle to get hold of the courier company to collect. They do not come for collection on the day, not even the next day, they take 3-4 days to collect and after they finally do I keep checking the parcel tracking and guess what: it takes another 4-5 days for them to deliver the parcel to customer! Souq perhaps has no understanding what "Same day delivery" means. I have been calling Souq customer service on many occasions trying to get a courier for collection but they are absolutely unprofessional and unhelpful, their customer reps make me feel like I bother them with my call each time. Souq- absolutely horrible service provided to customers, needless to say it damages ours 'Sellers' reputation and business. Please make some serious changes, change your management, employ English speaking people for your customer call center and start appreciating your customers and clients.”

“I have never experienced an awful online shopping experience ever in my life. And this is my first time to write a review because I am extremely mad and I would like to share so that no one can ever order from them. So I ordered 6 items and only 4 items got delivered. Keep in mind that it was all paid for. However when I called they didn’t give me a proper explanation, their customer representative is very poor. They do not repose to my email. They refunded back the money for the items that was not delivered and what made it worse is that they only refunded back the money for one item. What about the 2nd one ??? See how cheaters they are. Moreover, one of the 6 items I ordered Was a mascara that turned out to be absolutely fake. Please do not order from souq. It’s a scam and worse experience.”

“Pathetic service, followed the order after two weeks and understood that it is delivered some one but no one knows who it is as no contact or ID except one signature recorded. Souq.com says I need to ask every walking person around building who received it. Is this really acceptable service of an Amazon company?”

“Honestly speaking my 2 time experience with souq is a major disappointment, I wish I had read the review before going onto souq. first time I purchased a bike, it came late of course and arrived in a box in pieces, with no instructions what so ever, after using u-tube to put the bike together it was obvious the bicycle was not the model nor color which was purchased, nor was it complete. after a long struggle I returned the bike and was given my refund back. summary of first experience = zero quality control second experience was recent when black/white Friday sales. I purchase and paid for 4 fit bit watches, after 10 days of waiting, today they confirmed due to technical error the purchase was cancelled and a refund will be arranged. the only thing that I can think of is that souq does not care to deliver the discounted items as they probably think can sell at a higher price since in the holiday season. I was left with no solution, money stuck with them and no gifts for xmas! There is a difference sky and ground between amazon and souq and brands work hard and long to build up their name and reputation, so I am wondering how amazon will turn souq around. I highly recommend you buy either cash on purchase which they priorities always or buy directly from amazon.”

“They never delivery on time and also will not keep the customer know about it if there is a delay. Also when you call them up to know the status, they don't know anything about the status apart from what we can see in the app / website. They simply give a generic / standard response saying that the delay is due to the "High Demand" !! Poor planning on stocking & delivery and they make the customer struggle. This is my 3rd order and I'm suffering without any update from them and my very 1st order itself was cancelled due to delays. It was a mistake to order from them again !!”
