Products no longer readily available in NZ. Fast service, reasonable cost. Unfortunately tracking link was absent so I couldn't follow delivery.

Items delivered as promised. Really nothing to fault. Rare item but sourced from the US - delivered to NZ - no drama and very happy. We pay a premium on shipping, but that's not Ubuy's fault. Overall... See more

Hello Suzanne,

We sincerely apologize for the trouble you've encountered. We understand your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

We strive to offer quality products that reflect their value, and it is never our intention for you to face such issues. Each product sold on the Ubuy US Store includes a note directly below the "Add to Cart" button stating: "A step-down voltage transformer is required for using electronic products from the US store (110-120V)." Additionally, our order confirmation email emphasizes the importance of checking product manuals or descriptions before using electronics, as a power converter may be necessary.

It seems you did not utilize a compatible voltage converter to operate the machine. That is why it gets damaged as soon as you plugged in. We regret to inform you that we will not be able to accept the return or replacement of the device as the damage was done from your end.

Your valuable feedback helps us identify areas for improvement. We are committed to providing the highest level of service, and by learning from your experience, we can enhance our processes to better serve our customers in the future. Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Best regards,
Customer Experience Team Ubuy

DO NOT BUY FROM UBUY OR KIWIOWN have written a couple of negative…

I have written a couple of negative reviews already and still no closure to my problem with these scumbags. My stress all started in Sept 2023... Ordered a new product, told after 8 pymnts, product wld be delivered. No delivery, then lie after lie until May 2024, I cancelled
agreement as no product. 7mnths later, still no sign of refund and again lie after lie. They have since rebranded to KIWIOWN obviously because of the terrible service. Ive had to refer my matter to the Disputes Tribunal as I am still waiting for my refund for a product that never turned up! And yes, reading thru the bad reviews, I can see that I am not the only dissatisfied customer they wish death upon because they have no intentions of refunding any of us. This be the 3rd time they have given me a refund date and tbh, I dont believe them as far as I can spit at them. DO NOT BUY FROM UBUY or KIWIOWN!!!

Ordered a set of 23 books as clearly stated in item description and order confirmation. Ubuy then sent me one book of the 23 for over $100NZD and then claimed I only ordered one book. An absolute con. Would not recommend under any circumstances and would encourage all potential users to give them a very wide berth.

First time attempting to purchase

First time attempting to purchase from this crowd did not go as planned.
All attempts to pay at the checkout were "declined".
Called my bank twice - nothing wrong with my credit card or account at all.
Online chat with U-buy was "try again and here is a promo code" - still didnt work.
Worst online shopping experience ever and really dissapointed :(

Just be aware guys

Ive never had a problem until now its Just frustrating how I got changed over to this company. I decided to get a refund because I got what I ordered for my birthday instead. They said I could have a refund of $240 dollars. I waited 30 days which was May 16th. they said another month today is the day June 26 and now I just rang them they said July 28th. So frustrating I think I got scammed. Be careful.

I’m waiting for my third order and I’m surprised at how high quality it is and how quickly it delivers, even faster if, for example, you wait for a standard parcel from neighboring Australia or, for example, even where I am, I’m very happy and highly recommend <#

Poor return service

I ordered Custom Dynamics LED Fillerz for my motorcycle for NZ$608!
The item arrived after 2 weeks as I live in New Zealand.
The package was sent in a paper bag lined up with a single layer of bubble wrap so as a result, one of the LED lights was cracked.

I contacted Ubuy and after 3 days, they organised a return.

Now I have to wait 2 weeks for the item to return to them, and only then they will send me a new one, so another 2 weeks before i get my item.

I've provided them with photos of the damaged item and I've returned it so why do i have to wait so long before getting a replacement?

I'll never buy from Ubuy ever again

Terrible company
