"Checkout is handled through PayPal. That gives me peace of mind about the safety of my financial information.
The site is fairly simple to navigate, though the overall feel is akin to an online flea market (the pricing for some items elevates them quickly to the "impulse buy" category).
The site's return policy is very simply spelled out and covers the basic return questions well enough.
From the time you land at the site to the time you submit your order, the process is simple and smooth."
"I ordered a pair of 5-toes shoes from Fruper. They were only $35 when in stores the same pair sold for over $100. Fruper made it clear that shipping would take 2-3 weeks (and it did), but when I got them they were GREAT!! 1/3 the price of what they sold for in stores, brand new, great product. "
"This was my first and probably last order with Fruper.com. I placed my order, which was supposed to arrive in 2-3 weeks, and the very same day I received an email stating that the order had shipped. However, I finally received my order yesterday, which was not 2 or 3 (or 4 or 5 or 6) weeks later. It was NINE weeks after I placed my order. Throughout the 2 months of waiting, I attempted to communicate with Fruper, I attempted to cancel my order and to negotiate a refund, and throughout the whole process, all they ever told me was that my order was "on its way." The product that I ordered seems to be good quality and was in good shape, but I will not place another order with Fruper unless I am desperate to save a little money and I am in NO hurry."
"terrible, I still haven't recieved my order in over 4 weeks. Emailed customer svc and got one email claiming to try ro rectify the situation. and nothing since then. If I don't recieve shipment soon I will have to open a dispute with paypal. Seriously dissapointed."
"Ordered 3 pair Griffin TuneBuds for $7.95. They arrived within 3 days of my order, were in perfect condition and were authentic and new. There was no price that came even close to Fruper's price anywhere that I could find on the internet. Shipped from an Illinois address."
"I recently made purchases from Fruper.com and DealExtreme.com. When the two separate packages arrived, they were in identical envelopes with identical labels and the same return address (21 Man Lok Street, Hung Hom, Kow Loon, Hong Kong). One minor difference was the DX (DealExtreme) logo was replaced with a logo that looks like a box with wings. This makes it obvious that Fruper.com is only drop shipping through DealExtreme.com. To make matters worse, DealExtreme doesn't charge any shipping for these products and Fruper does. Fruper does not provide ANY added benefit and just inflates the price so they can profit. In this instance, I was buying the Swedish FireSteel from Fruper. DealExtreme.com's price is $4.95 (with free shipping) while Fruper.com charges $6.95 (+ $3.96 shipping). The two products can be compared here http://store.fruper.com/swfi.html and here http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12305. Every item I have looked at on Fruper's store is also available on DealExtreme.com for $3 - $5 less. Do yourself a favor and skip the middleman! It makes me wonder how many other so called "online stores" are doing this simple drop shipping scam. This site explains very well why this is a scam: http://www.dropshipscam.com"
"Bought five flashlights on January 14, 2010 and paid for with my Paypal account. Inquired on February 19, 2010 why I haven't received them yet. Got a prompt reply with a "tracking" number from Hong Kong Post. Tried to track it but apparently the "tracking" number is not recognized by Hong Kong Post. Go figure. It's now almost the end of March 2010 and Fruper will not return my emails and I have not ever received anything.
I certainly won't ever purchase another item from Fruper and suggest you don't either."
"On 11/302009, I ordered a Bluetooth vibrating bracelet and charged it to PayPal, which took the billing amount from my checking account on 12/1/2009. On 12/14/2009, I sent an email request to Customer Service to determine the status of my order. I never received a response and I have never received any correspondence advising me of the status of my order. Today, 1/2/2010, I received the bracelet. Due to the holidays, shipping was apparently longer than anticipated, however I never received a response or email notification."
"This is totally fake site.
Don't Buy anything from this site....
it will charge money but will not send you product.
i have ordered one product. for that i got email with Order number. after few days, i got another email with Tracking number. The Tracking number is not working for USPS and after passing about one month also i didn't get my product.
when i have contacted customer service of Fruper, they told me that the product is not available for now.
Don't Buy anything from this site....
