"My experience with Value basket is the worst experience I have had with any delivery website. It took them an age to deliver the item, which they stated was delayed for quality check.. once delivered the item broke within a few weeks, it was returned for repairs and it has not been returned to me as I write this,(nearly 9 weeks later), in fact they cant even give me an update on the problem with the item or a likely return date . in fact... since order over 4 months ago they have had the item longer than I have...Avoid...."
"Claimed they had item in stock and ready for dispatch. 20 Days and countless emails later it still has not been dispatched and their response continues to be "next week". Still shows in stock and ready to ship on item page. They view the customer and with contempt and seem not to care that they are in clear breach of Australian consumer law. Would be interested in launching a class action."
"He pedido que me cancelen el pedido ya que llevo esperando ya más 8 días para que preparen el pedido. Cuando decían que estaría expedido de 3 a 5 días. He intentado que me digan cuando me lo iban a enviar pero me contestan que va con retrasado y que sienten la demora.
Ahora espero no tener problemas con la cancelación del pedido y me devuelvan rápido mi dinero."
"I am waiting for delivery.
I tried to ask any information by email but I cannot find their email address on their web pages.
Thank you for your reply.
I received the product I ordered on 22nd May."
"I ordered a Canon Speedlite 430EX II from ValueBasket.com, it is my first time buying from this website and the experience was awesome! The item came in brand new as described, the delivery was fast and prompt. The time taken to reach me beats (faster) than all other online shopping that I have ever used. That includes big e-commerce sites. I will definately buy from valuemarket.com again! thanks for the experience! now i found a better place to shop!"
"Everything came in good shape and speedy delivery and good communication."
"Fast efficient service and kept well informed of package progress. Delighted with purchase"
"If you're from Australia, avoid this company like the plague.
I placed my order on the 29/03/2013 and it's still in order handling status on the 10/04/2013.
Now the customer service rep im dealing with is telling me that it's a logistical issue and my order should be shipped next week. So much for shipping in 3-5 days. The funny thing is, i was told last week that it wasn't a logistical issue holding up the order, but that they were waiting for stock and it should be shipped.... next week.
Anyway, don't buy unless you have a lot of patience for false advertising companies. Oh and everything they sell is shipped from Hong Kong."
"A fuss-free shopping experience that I've recently discovered by chance. Initially, I was a little hesitant to purchase the Panasonic Lumix LX7 Digital Camera (Black) from ValueBasket.com as it's still relatively a new website that we've never come across.
However, the fact that they offer cash on delivery (with additional $15 charged though) provided an added assurance that it can be trusted.
Anyhow, I ordered my camera on 18th March 2013 and received it 1 week later via DHL shipment right to my door step!
Camera was in pristine condition and I only paid SGD $489 for it!
I'm a satisfied customer and I'll continue shopping with ValueBasket for sure! :)"
"Received the goods in about 8 days after I placed the order. The cost is reasonable and at times cheaper. It is well packed and protected. Have not really tested the customer service response or rma as I just started to buy from valuebasket."
"I was lead to believe that valuebasket was a local company. There is a local physical address, phone number and website. But when I ordered the goods it was shipped from Hongkong not a locally.
This means you can have additional costs like customs/GST. It would of been cheaper to buy local or buy from another eCommerce site. I didnt get a tax invoice, and was effectively paying a 15% premium for the products.
Good service, but there website should be clearer its not local, so you know prices are exclusive of GST."
"The processing took abit longer than I estimated, but they were really nice to provide a speedy delivery for me. the product came in good condition and i'm really satisfied to be playing with my Canon Eos 60d, I'll buy more products from value basket in the future :) Thank you all for sending my camera to me in time before I go overseas! Cheers :D"
"Great product range, good service and customer support, prompt delivery."
"Seems like most of the complains come from other countries
I had very good experience with their office in Singapore
Checked price for Panasonic LX7 over three stores at Funan Center
This site provide price which is 150-200 SGD cheaper
Although price still not as good as AMAZON.com but close
Good enough for me
At first the good price sounds like a scam to me
so I asked for Cash on Delivery
Proven to be the best you can get in Singapore
Changed address after placing the order-- no problem
Changed method of payment from COD to credit card-- no problem
Real people answering the phone in 30 seconds
Reply emails in 24hrs
Fast DHL dilevery
Other than still waiting for the 15 SGD refund from COD
It is perfect in my mind "
"really fast delivery. my camera came after 4 days after placing the order."
