Can't give a good review when I don't get the product.

Can't get a hold of the company to check on the order.

Can't reach their customer service to receive a refund.

It's almost like this was one large scam that flies under the radar because it's a pretty niche market. I've initiated a charge back. I'm getting my god damn money back.

GOOD eREADER IS NOT SERIOUS AT ALL

GOOD eREADER IS NOT SERIOUS AT ALL. I made an order one and a half mont ago. They didn´t send it yet (even if they told me they did, but according to the tracking number info they never did it). I asked several times for a refund and then they stop answering my e-mails. So, they got my money, they didn't send the product and never answered me again.

It has been over a month since I placed an order (and paid for it). I still have not received the item, despite being notified twice via email that it has "just" been shipped. No other information received.
Appalling service

Update: weeks later no response to emails, simply scam. Keep away!!!

Horrible customer service; they owe me $700

I bought a Boox tablet, which cost me $723 CAD all in. The product was taking longer to receive than what was initially estimated, so I emailed to inquire about the delay (had contact with Jana from the sales department).

I was eventually directed to Jon Singleton, the "logistics specialist" in the shipping department. I asked to cancel the order, and was told that the product was suddenly already shipped and couldn't be cancelled. I was told to reject the parcel in order to get a refund.

I did reject the parcel, and have DHL's confirmation that the shipment was returned on June 14th. I waited almost a month and followed up with both Jana and Jon re: the refund, and was asked to provide tracking info re: the item, on July 12th. The next day, I sent them screenshots from DHL showing the item had been returned to them on June 14th. Since that email, I haven't heard back at all.

I sent follow-up emails on June 20th and August 4th, with no response. I fully understand that it's the summer, so these types of things can move slowly, however to not even have a response from either individual over the course of a month, and to STILL not have my refund, no less, is unacceptable.

What's even shadier is that they have removed the order from the "my orders" section of my account. I wish I'd listened to all of the people on Onyx Boox Reddit who said to never buy from this company.

Never delivered the product

Never delivered the product. Ignored communications from me about the product. It's been almost two months and no word on when I will receive it. Lies about having the product when in reality they're a dropshipping company that isn't even good at dropshipping. They buy alternative domains/brands as well to hide who they are. Just buy from ebay. More protections and communications.

I did not get my item but the refund was fast…

I did not get my item after a month so I gave up. The refund was fast so one extra star. I really hope you guys figures out how to ship faster. I enjoy the youtube channel and I like that you are putting a spotlight on e-readers but please figure out how to run the business better. Best wishes

Overall bad customer service

Took almost a month to ship something that said in-stock and will ship in 24hrs. Tried canceling order they just ignore my messages. Now item has been sitting a customs in canada for weeks because I'm not paying $100 in import fees for something I no longer want. Overall, very bad customer service.

Don't buy from them

Don't buy from them. They send you the wrong items, say that you ordered the wrong item even though you send proof of the items in their website.
then, they ghost you , no resolution.
Very very disappointed

Order still stuck at 'processing'

My order was not shipped and has been stuck on 'processing' for two full weeks now. All attempts to contact the people running the store has been met with radio silence. This looks to be a bunch of people who have no idea how to run this business. It looks like they started this business because of their passion for e-readers. Well.. it would seem that passion is not enough. They seem to lack all practical abilities to run this business.. apart from the accepting payment part. In my opinion, I think they should not be taking on any new customers and instead gracefully wind down their business by completing the orders they have already taken money for. Doing anything else is just digging yourself into an even deeper hole, you guys are clearly over your heads!

No, we told you to wait for your item

We explained this to you very clearly and said WAIT for your item

You couldn’t be bothered to wait just a little while for your product

And no, its not “the thing is, it arrived” we KNOW it arrived because we shipped it

Enjoy the free item and all your money back and thanks for stealing from us

Incompetent

Do not buy from this company. They are useless and try and turn everything back on their customers. Just look at their comments, always gaslighting the issue. I had to fight, repeatedly send emails to then and at times they were heated. They have zero, and I mean ZERO respect for how a business is supposed to be run. I filed a complaint with the BBB after being given the runaround and finally got a refund for one of the products when I order two and wished to be refunded for both. They refused to refund the second product because they said I was aggressive.
Learn how to run a business and maybe you wouldn’t have to deal with aggressive behaviour.
You’re all like a bunch of incompetent toddlers who have no idea what they are doing.

If anyone truly respects themselves I would suggest flying to china to pick up your own product from their so called warehouse. You’d actually get your product and would have to deal with such an amateurish fake company.
Maybe a little news story about shady business practices would shake you guys up a bit.

Delay shipping time and no communication

On their website they stated order will be shipped out within 3-5 days, this is false, it has been 10 days without any update on shipping.
Update: As they have been very cooperating with refund. I'm giving 3 star
