First the good. Samsung S20 did arrive and was as described. Bad news. Zero communication. Ages for delivery. Ugly. The price suggested this wasn't just a bargain new product but this "opened box"... See more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! you have been warned.
This company is cr*p. I ordered a watch 2 months ago, they promised a guaranteed delivery date of 19th December and still nothing well into January. They do not reply to e mails. I have raised a dispute with by credit card holder who are looking into it.
Totally destroyed my daughters Christmas, she so wanted this watch and we saved up for ages to be able to afford it.

If I could give Zero Stars I would..

Ordered a smartwatch on 23rd Dec, arrived nearly two weeks later. The box it arrived in was clearly in a very 'used' state with all the seals broken and a big 'graded' sticker on it. Opened the box to find a smartwatch with the sensor cracked, and a watch that is unable to be charged. A completely defunct product. Have heard nothing in response to my message to Mimotek.

AVOID THIS SELLER AT ALL COSTS.

Am now in the process of lodging a complaint with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) to ensure others aren't caught out by this company.

Is anybody there!!!!!!

I ordered a phone on 10th December 2020 and it arrived on 18th December. I opened the package to find the warranty seal broken and the wrong phone inside. I have tried emails and phoning every day, leaving messages but absolutely no response. I will continue to try for one more week and then contact my credit card company to seek a refund.

I think this company is insolvent.

I think this company is insolvent.

I made a purchase on the 7th December.

#21963

The original email and sms stated the product would be delivered within 7 days.

It wasnt delivered and I received no update until the 19th December where I was informed that a refund would be forth coming within 14 days.

I emailed the company on the 1st, 2nd and 4th of January and I havent received a response.

Im not sure how to describe this. Theft? Scam? Stealing?

Hi Daniel,

I have personally investigated your order number #21963 has been refunded. Please note with Christmas and New year there are bank holidays so refunds can take up to 14 days to be received back on your statement. It is usually much quicker, and we appreciate your patience.

We are currently working with less call centre and customer support staff due to the new national lockdown restrictions, this has caused delays in getting in touch, however I can see that a member of our team did contact you today advising that your refund has been completed.

Our payment providers system shows that this refund has been completed, if not already received it will be received shortly.

We apologise for any delay/inconvenience, please keep an eye out on your emails for any further updates.

In the unlikely event the funds are not received within the next 10 working days, please contact your bank directly for support.

We would appreciate if you did not post defamatory comments using words such as 'fraud' and 'scam', as quite simply this is not the case.

We would not be in operation if our practices were fraudulent, as you can see on the website, we are a fully operational UK company, all of our details can be found on companies house.

I understand your frustration in this matter, however you do have to appreciate, as a company operating during the peak of a global pandemic, delays are to be expected and are completely out of our control. Your patience during this time is appreciated.

If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Many thanks,

The Mimotek Team

Do not buy from this company

Do not buy from this company. They are not trustworthy. Purchased a watch from them. When received found it was scratched. Matt Luke Colombo refused to refund, quoting the t's and c's. They sell goods that are 'graded' so some items may be unused / new in opened boxing : the bulk of items received by customers (read other reviews) appear to be used / damaged. And you are then referred by Mr Colombo to the t's and c's which state you only get a refund if you cancel 14 days after purchase. But the company takes so long to the item the 14 day period lapses so - technically- the company covers itself. And a credit card dispute will no doubt be inconclusive with Mimotek referring to the t's and c's.

Scammers ...... DO NOT BUY FROM MR COLOMBO / MIMOTEK. NOT TRUSTWORTHY.

Have reported the company to Trading Standards.

TO ADD - have just read the response from Mimotek to my review as above. To say that a series of scratches on the back of the watch is a security process (by Samsung) is shameful .... I will report this to Samsung UK.

Hi Paul,

As per our terms which you have to confirm you have read and agree to before purchase, we do not sell new sealed items.

As per our communication via email, the item you received is not damaged, it is fully as described and in as new condition. The mark your referring to as damage, is a security mark that Samsung place on the device to identify the item as graded. Again as we explained, all of this info is explained clearly in the product description and 'what is graded?' section, all available to read before purchase.

We do advise this in our terms clearly so as the customer you should be fully aware of this, we can only apologise if you feel this was not clear for you.

Please see a link below to our terms and 'what is graded? 'section so you can read this for yourself.

I'm still awaiting a refund of nearly £700, a full month after i returned an item sent to me incorrectly. All they say is " Your refund has been approved and being processed by accounts", but still no refund. Beware

PS4 pro ordered but not received

Ordered a PS4 pro for my son's Christmas present. Mimotek confirmed it would be dispatched by 19th December and guaranteeing delivery for Xmas. I have received nothing! They are not picking up phones. Very anxious and concerned that this is not legit. I have one very disappointed and upset child!

AVOID! Pay the extra and order from a reputable company

I ordered a BRAND NEW and UNOPENED Samsung tablet, I received a used and damaged one! However it was a slightly newer model than had been sent so I agreed to keep the tablet despite the damage thinking I could buy a case for it anyway. Wrapped it up as a Christmas present for my son, only to discover that is doesn’t even work!! Phones are off the hook and no response to emails. I’m now out of pocket and my son doesn’t have his main Christmas present!!!! Avoid at all costs and order from a more reputable company.

Non existent goods

Order for tablet was placed & payment taken 27.11.20, was advised that delivery was delayed but was guaranteed by 17.12.20. Received email on 17.12.20 to tell me Mimotek have cancelled my order!! Thanks very much. How am I supposed to replace that Christmas present on the Saturday before Christmas during lockdown? Disgusting non existent service.

Hi Bonnie,

I am sorry to hear about this!

Looking into this, I can see that we advised you that due to shipping delays this order was cancelled rather than delaying further before the Christmas period.

We understand this must be inconvenient and frustrating and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

This refund has been fully processed, if not already received it will be with you shortly, please contact us directly if you require further assistance.

Many thanks,

purchased and paid for a google phone on 20th November. Arrived much later than stated. It was a black Friday deal but my understanding was that it was new. It arrived with no box! Microphone would only work with ear phones in! I returned the phone still no refund! Have tried phoning sent emails no response. Would not use this company again. Covid is no excuse for poor communication.

Hi Beryl,

I am sorry to hear you are experiencing these issues!

As explained in the description before purchase, all items are graded, and can sometimes be repackaged in an alternative box. However the item should be in full working order.

Checking my system I can see that your order #20482 has been marked as returned, and you have been emailed this morning confirming that this has now been refunded.

We apologise for any delays or inconvenience caused.

If you require any further assistance please contact us directly and we will be able to assist further!

Many thanks,

Postage was much slower than quoted

Postage was much slower than quoted - mainly due to delays by Royal Mail - but it would help not to have overly-optimistic delivery estimates. It was impossible to speak to anyone over the phone but I did get a response to my email. The phone was in very good condition.

I ordered a Samsung tablet that was advertised as black, when it arrived, it was white 😅 it isn't really an issue,as I have it in a case.
I saw a few bad reviews for this site, you just can't please some people,and some are so impatient, they want everything yesterday.
I am happy with my product ☺️

Good, bad and ugly

First the good. Samsung S20 did arrive and was as described.
Bad news. Zero communication. Ages for delivery.
Ugly. The price suggested this wasn't just a bargain new product but this "opened box" product and the ambiguity of what that means was really uncomfortable.
Yes order from them but use a credit card and give yourself maximum protection.

Avoid at all cost!!

Avoid at all cost!!! Brought a phone for £700 over 4 weeks ago and received an email and text guaranteeing delivery by Christmas and then on the 21st of December got an email saying the item is now going to be refunded! When I go back onto the website the item I originally purchase is classed as in stock and is now even more then I purchased it for! Still awaiting refund! This company shouldn’t even be running! Absolute disaster of a company!

Very poor service. No confidence at all. 3 months later I have not received the refund

Dec.2020.
I bought a samsung galaxy watch 3 from Mimotek on black friday. Then when I urged them to deliver the parcel as 3 weeks have already passed since I had ordered it, they canceled unilaterally the purchase without notice.
More than 1 month later, I have not received the refund yet.
This is the worst experience I have ever had with an online seller. I would not recommend it, it is not worth paying a bit less to get such a poor service.
-----UPDATED
March 2021
I am publishing an update in the review I wrote almost 3 months ago.
We are in March, and I have not received the money yet. They told me in January that they have already refund it but my bank account has not received yet.

I am going to try to describe this politely, but basically it is a shame how this business use your money to finance itself. 3 months already to refund £300. No words, well one, shame.
