"Used BestOfferBuy twice to buy bike lights. Very pleased with the lights which came to me in UK within a couple of weeks both times. The second order they contacted me to say that one of the items I had ordered to go with the light was out of stock and they refunded the cost of that item and delivered the rest of my order.
Overall cannot fault their service and the quality of the lights, very good value for money."
"They appear to have everything you want, for great prices and free shipping. I was satisfied with the items i got but shipping takes a long time, and many items were actually out of stock when they didn't indicate such. However, customer service was fast and efficient, and i was refunded with no problem for any items out of stock."
"Initially I was very pleased with BestOfferBuy as it stocked exactly what I needed - a small laser module - at a very cheap price. Unfortunately, the delivery time of up to 14 days was obviously too optimistic for me as it didn't arrive until two weeks after the stated period. I needed the module for a university project and as a result of the delay I had to hand in substandard work with a different larger laser. If I had known it would take so long, I would have gone with the £13.50 option rather than now being stuck with a laser I don't need but am reluctant to send back to Hong Kong. From reading other comments, this lax attitude to sending items within the stated delivery period applies not only to my order but to others too. It is very unprofessional and I will certainly not be ordering again unless I have months to wait for the items."
"Buyer beware - worst shopping experience EVER!
On 12th December I purchased two small cameras, a USB 4 camera controller unit and 2 UK power supplies as birdbox webcams for my daughter for Christmas. I paid an additional £18 for 3-5 day UPS shipping so that I could guarantee I had them before Christmas.
Imaging my surprise when I checked on the 20th December and they had not even shipped my goods. I kicked up a stink and they used the excuse that the goods were faulty and they had to ship new ones. They promised the goods would be shipped that day but they were not shipped until 21st December. I had to arrange with UPS to get them delivered as soon as they cleared customs and they were delivered at 4pm on Christmas eve. Upon opening the parcel I found that the power supplies did not fit the cameras. The jacks on the end were too small. I have contacted them a total of 8 times and here we are 13 days after they delivered and 24 days after ordering unable to use the cameras because they have said I will need to ship the wrong power supplies back at my own expense in order to not have to pay for the replacements.
They took my money quickly enough though!
This has to be the worst online experience I have ever had and I would suggest everyone steers well clear of this firm. They will not entertain any refund or compensation for the problem. They even suggest I should be grateful that they are trying to help me.

"I ordered an SD card for an old Kodak. Had to be a lower capacity because of the age of the camera. BestOfferBuy had it--cheap and quick and free shipping. Will buy from them again. eD"

5-14 business days? Today is 01-03-2011 and I have yet to receive this order. I will not order from them again and I recommend anyone who chooses to order from them do so with extreme caution. Reputable companies do not take your money until the day of shipping. I have ordered from hundereds of companies both inside and outside of the United States... this is the first time I have ever had money taken a full two weeks before my order actually shipped. This is very questionable business behavior in my opinion.

"Very happy with the bike light I ordered, the price was excellent and delivery time matched what was advertised."
"OK, they do have good prices. But the quality of the T-shirts I received was very low. Once actually shipped the item arrived in a reasonable amount of time but the order sat for more than a week before it even shipped. They're price seem to be generally low enough to get your interest and then they make it up in the shipping if you want to get your item in a reasonable amount of time. "
"I bought a handful of inexpensive adapters from them. The price was right, and I was willing to wait for shipping from the other side of the earth in a slow boat. They got the job done, and I was not very picky about the specific items."
"Steer FAR away from this vendor. I purchased a MTE P-7D from this site. It was offered as a genuine product.
After reading about serious issues involving conterfeits of this item I contacted the Manufacturer, Mr. Liu at the MTE factory in China (http://www.mte-led.com/).
He has verified that it is a fake light. The email is as follows:
Hi,
Thank you for your email.
The product on the link you have provided is not a genuine MTE product. Our authorised dealer in USA is Greg (http://site.gregmcgeeengineering.com/), and you can contact him directly to purchase our products.
Best regards,
Mr Liu

Hi,
I just purchased a MET P-7D light, but saw a Youtube video from a guy stating that he was the ONLY authorized dealer. Is this company an authorized dealer, or are they selling counterfeit lights? I've heard that your light is great, but the knock-offs are disappointing.
Thanks,

I'm still waiting to hear from the vendor. His email stated that he'd contact me within 4-5 days. PayPal is processing the challenge on the charges, but won't do anything until the FAKE product arrives.
STAY AWAY. The customer service may be good according to previous reviews, but the site sells fake products purported to be genuine.
How does a review of ALL poor get 2 stars???"
"First class service all round, thank you.

"I've bought a few toy BB guns from BestOfferBuy for my son, and for the price (which included free shipping), I've been pleased with my purchases. Shipments take a few extra days since they are coming from China, but I have not had any unusually long delays."
"CHEAP QUICK PLEASURE TO BUY WITH BESTOFFERBUY
THANKS A LOT"
"Above average compared to the others sellers. Great prices for high quality Fenix flashlights. "
