The best experience I had for a while with a e-shopping website, good price, easy navigation on site, a very quick and clear logistics process. I highly recommend and will use Coolblue.de

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very quick delivery and a great service. They gave me a 1 hour window in the morning on the delivery day and called about 20 minutes before they arrived. The delivery guys were super friendly as well.... See more

BE AWARE of COOLBLUE. Illegal and unethical business practices

COOLBLUE has a very slick surface, always suggesting custumer friendliness and fairness.
The opposite is true, at least in my experience.
I sent them my phone for repair after it died over night. After four weeks I got a message that it cannot be repaired due to missing spare parts. Althought they refunded the full price, I requested it back since I had no chance to extract my data from the phone before I gave it away. Legally the phone and especially the data on it are still my property.
This was denied.
The answer: This is not possible. You phone has been thrown away. Basically ignoring data protection laws and property rights.
They always pretend to be on your side. And steal behind your back.
The data on the phone was that importatnt that I was prepared to give an order to a professional data recovery firm, althought I'd also have the means to do that. Now I have to fight a legal case because they are blocking any further request with zero content replies to my emails.
So think twice before you buy anything from COOLBLUE. Second face always shows after problems occur.

Update:
Eliza, what you say sounds reasonable, but was already discussed in a lengthy email exchange with your colleagues. In which at somepoint someone said that my phone would be returned and the next day someone else said that my phone has already been disposed of.
So I fear that facts have already been created and the only thing that remains is to talk of some kind of compensationn for that. I'm open for suggestions.
I am still waiting for your form. CaseID is 8579683

Dear customer,

I'm sorry that your phone suddenly stopped working. It was a good thing that you've registered a repair and sent the phone in for a repair. It sucks that the repair was not possible due to missing spare parts.

Thank you for sharing your order details through the contact form. I've started an investigation with our returns and repair department and expect to hear from them soon. As soon I've received a reply, I will contact you through email. I'll keep this case assigned to myself to ensure you that this matter will be taken care of soon.

With a smile,
Eliza from Coolblue

Wonderful

Wonderful, the delivery guys were super friendly and nice, they even brought the refrigerator down to the basement and pack in the car for me. Unfortunately they don’t deliver to my home(53619).

Really disappointing customer service.

Really disappointing customer service.
I ordered a product, they just sent me the email.
A few hours later I got a refund from PayPal, nothing from the website. The order doesn't show up in my account on the website or the App.
What's app number doesn't answer, phone number doesn't connect me to a human or help me.
It's like there is no real human on the other side of the website.
I'm really wondering how they got these high ratings...

Hi Mahdi,

Thank you for sending us your order number. I've taken a look into your order to find the reason for the sudden refund.

We had to cancel your order because your payment did not pass our payment verification. Of course we assume your good intentions, but unfortunately we cannot share the way we check the payments with you. Therefore, I can not arrange for the order to be shipped another way. You can order again with a different payment method, but unfortunately we cannot help you further if the payment gets cancelled again.

With a smile,

Brilliant price and delivery

Brilliant price, exactly the right product and super fast delivery. I ordered my TP-Link WLAN router on Tuesday and I received it on Wednesday. Before ordering, I checked Trustpilot to see if the store is trustworthy and it is. I can recommend. :)

Mistake or fraud?

Bought a Theragun on Black Friday.
Paid with Apple Pay. My order is not registered on my profile, no order confirmation and no shipping notification. No replies from customer support.
Is this fraud? If not please get your act together and ship my order.
Update - i don’t want a refund. I want the product delivered at the Black Friday price.

Hello Kristian

It's annoying that your payment didn't pass our checks. The check is for the protection of our customers and also for us. Perhaps the criteria are sometimes a little high. I'm sorry about that. Your money has been refunded.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Great shopping experience on the website, Great customer service

First of all, great online experience on the website. The website is so well designed with shopping experience in mind. It is so personalized that you feel like there is a person sitting at the backend and helping you with the purchase.
Secondly, awesome customer service. They not only helped me with information, but also help me redeem the personal discount properly.
Overall, it was a great customer experience and I would gladly recommend Coolblue.

Horrible experience

Horrible experience.
I bought the monitor with full payment, with next day delivery. Since I was only coming to the country for a couple of days, delivery was important. The next day I was informed that my monitor was sold to someone else. And now I can cancel the order and wait 3-5 days for my funds. For 3-5 days I am left without money and without a monitor. Thank you, famous Dutch quality service.

Hello Leonid,

I'm sorry to hear that your order hasn't reached you in time. Although our next day delivery is working most of the time, it can come to a delay once in a while. It's very frustrating that this happened to you, especially since you've been visiting our country for a short period of time.

Thanks for submitting your details, so I could take a look at your order. I see you were in contact with our customer service, and they were able to resolve your issue.

Thank you in advance for providing that information!

Hello Boris,

I'm sorry that our system declined your PayPal payment. I'd like to assure you, that it's nothing personal. Our system has for some reason flagged your transaction. It's best to check up with PayPal on that, because it might indicate that there's a safety issue with your account going, possibly without your knowlegde.

You can pay your order through a different payment method if you'd like to. Feel free to contact our customer service in case you need help.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience and hope to welcome you again in the future!

With a smile,

Lieferung ging total schief.... And zero help from Coolblue

Lieferung ging mit DHL schief, irgendwie anderswo geleitet..... Coolblue konnte nicht helfen. Ich musste alleine mit DHL das Packet suchen :-( .

The delivery went wrong got sent to the wrong place.... Coolblue refused to get involved, I had to contact DHL to find out where they had left the parcel. Not pleasant !

Hallo Etienne,

Vielen Dank fürs Übermitteln deiner Kontaktdaten. Ich habe mir den Sendungsverlauf mal angesehen und konnte sehen, dass das Paket bei DHL fehlgeleitet wurde und dadurch verspätet bei dir angekommen ist.

Als kleine Wiedergutmachung für die Verspätung stelle ich dir einen Gutschein von €15,- auf dein Kundenkonto. Du kannst das Guthaben ohne Mindestwert frei in deinem Warenkorb verwenden. Sollte es zukünftig unverhofft doch noch mal zu einem Lieferproblem kommen, melde dich dann am besten bei unserem Kundendienst. Wir können dann die benötigten Schritte einleiten, damit du schnellstmöglich eine Lösung bekommst.

Ich wünsche dir viel Spaß mit deiner Bestellung!

Mit einem Lächeln,
Eliza von Coolblue

Return policy was not transparent

Return policy was not transparent. I bought a Shark Flexstyle (Hairstyling product) and in the confirmation email, it stated that I can return the products after 30 days if you are not satisfied.
Only to figured out later that a hair styler is a hygiene product/care product cannot be returned.
I would have better experience in other shops, I would not recommend purchasing here. Not again from my side.
Edit: I’m just wondering whether all the people not satisfied with a 300euros hair styler are all not able to return. Do Dyson, Shark, Amazon or Mediamarkt will handle the situation the same as Coolblue. And I dont think so and for that reason, I will still give my one star review, because this is not the standard.

Hello,

I can understand your frustration very well, of course you assumed that you could still exchange the hair styler. Unfortunately, this product is a hygiene item and we can only take it back if it is unopened.

I have looked at your order and I have also looked at your shipping confirmation. The note that a hygiene product can only be returned unopened is in the link of the return conditions. I'm sure you didn't see that. I'm sorry about that.

With a smile,
Simon from Coolblue

I ordered a washing machine for my…

I ordered a washing machine for my moving. Since I work everyday, only day that could work is Saturday. It arrived with a defect so they took it back and set another appointment. Just for that, I asked a friend of mine to travel from another city, in order to be here to open the doorbell to the team. This day they never showed up, the app was showing till last minute that it’s “on the way” and after all that I call, the team said that they rang the bell an no one answered. Sadly the next available date for me can be in more that a month, so no clean clothes, thanks coolblue:D just poor service.
