Has anyone purchased from Banggood?

Post by aferguson » Thu Jun 02, 2022 8:34 pm

there is something I want to buy but i'm pretty much unfamiliar with the trustworthiness of the place. I gather that it's like Aliexpress?

They take Paypal, which Ali doesn't and I like that. But i'm concerned about getting the wrong item or a smashed up item. Paypal requires returning such items before you can get a refund and returns to China are super expensive.

Hey Andrew can't say that I've heard of them. Check with member maritime96, he might have.

I bought a 3D printer from them a few years ago. Was easy and had no issues.

well, my experience has been less good. I ordered an item in early June. After I purchased I discovered that the item was a pre order., no indication of this when I ordered. I was given a series of expected shipping dates, all of which passed with no shipment. This week I got a notice from them saying that because it has been so long since I ordered without the item shipping, they are going to automatically cancel my order and refund me. We'll see what happens there.

So, i'm less that impressed with Banggood at this time.

Well shoot. Hopefully you get your refund soon.
