They never deliver. There is no stock.

Cenava lied about having local stock of a phone I was interested in. After payment, they went silent and did not give updates of the order for days. Calls went unanswered until I threatened over email to get refund. They then lied three times about delivery date. I eventually demanded refund. They threatened to take 20% of payment as holding fee. I had to do charge back with my bank to get full refund. Please avoid this business, no matter how attractive their product prices look.

No feedback on order - pathetic customer service,

Been waiting for over 10 days for feedback on my order.

Advertised as in-stock - only to be told no stock - please wait 3 days.

Still waiting and no response from Cenava.
