Avoid at all costs

Not only did they tell me there was no stock of the product I ordered and paid for, they then refused to refund me

Dear Customer,

We’re sorry for the frustration. Your refund has been arranged, but there’s a delay due to payment platform processing (not a refusal). It should reach you soon—we’re following up to speed it up.

Thanks for your patience.

Great service from Whatgeek

Great service from Whatgeek. Ordered my OneXFly F1 Pro and it arrived quickly, well-packaged, and exactly as described. Their range of handheld gaming devices is excellent and I love that I can buy without worrying about import fees. Highly recommended.

Honest description, lovely product

The product came within reasonable time and well packaged. the product itself is packaged well does not contain large number of boxes or plastic. which i am happy about.
For me, I would buy again or even recommend for others.
The ANBERNIC RG34XXSP Flip Game Console with 3.4" Screen and Joystick is very compact, has a large volume of games to play and a good battery. it charges in a good amount of time, comfortable to hold, good screen quality. I really enjoy this product so far and i know i will not get board. this product is in good value for money and perfect for long journeys.

UK buyer with no issues

UK buyer here.
Competitive pricing. For me, also had no import tax or hidden fees on arrival. Long delivery as it ships from China, despite the "UK" suggesting URL. I see that others from the UK have had issues, so it could well be a stroke of luck that I've had a relatively painless experience. Tracking kept me up to speed along the way.

A joy to use

I love everything about this keyboard:
- The slim profile
- The 84-key layout
- The volume knob
- The connection to multiple devices
- And of course - the sound of the switches is absolutely amazing!
Perfect for both work and gaming! I genuinely hope the quality holds strong for years to come!

Very good customer service experience

I recently bought a very expensive gpd mini 2025 machine from Whatgeek but because I had accidentally bought the wrong one I had to request the cancellation of the order and ask for a refund. I contact support and they were able to help me. They replied to all emails and were very helpful.

And I have to add that I send a lot of emails with questions and they replied to all very politely.

The refund took 5 working days to arrive but it arrived without issues. So please keep that in mind, it is normal to take a bit longer than UK based companies.

They are honest and trustworthy and reading from the rest reviews here, they are trying to improve their customer service.

Overall I had a very good experience and will buy from them again!

Compensation Refund Never Issued

I've previously ordered from this company a few times and had a great service, however this was the first occasion ordering an item over £400.
I had to chase and contact numerous times to try and resolve. Requests to cancel and refund the order was ignored. Eventually had to get PayPal involved after a month of chasing my item. Company agreed to resend the item immediately along with issuing £40 compensation. The compensation never happened, however I did finally receive my item.
Very disappointed with the service and looking at other reviews, it seems they have a history of promising refunds etc that never happens. Just glad I used PayPal and eventually got my item.

Update: This morning (10/07/25) I received a confirmation email from PayPal to advise that the £40 refund has been issued. I appreciate this being resolved.

Hi,

We’re truly sorry for the frustration with your high-value order.

Your case slipped through our process, and we own that mistake.

For the unfulfilled £40 compensation, we’ll process it within 24 hours and send you a confirmation.

To make it right, we also offer a 15% off next order / support@whatgeek.com] as a gesture of goodwill.

We’re overhauling our order-handling to avoid repeats. Thanks for sticking with us—we’ll earn back your trust.

AOOSTAR AG02 EGPU , Don't buy.

I bought a AOOSTAR AG02 Egpu caddy. Whenever i plug it into my PC is blue screens or the Egpu spins up for 30 seconds then switches off. I contacted them they said they would like to give me a partial refund to have it repaired. I've told them i would like to return it for a full refund. I will update when concluded. Update to this. They have now asked me to return to China at my expense but not to use a western courier. The only Chinese courier i can find is China post and they want £57 to return it and it won't arrive for 20 days. I've reported them to my credit card company. Edit i have just received another email saying i can use Royal mail. The cost is nearly £100. My order number is WGUK_27229 and despite the message from What Geek they still have not arranged a collection or discussed a refund. Final update. Email from the customer services. I can't afford the £100 to send back an item worth £150. Hopefully American express can sort it. Please don't buy from these lot. Lets hope they go out of business.
Dear customer,

Thank you for your letter.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

However, we do not provide return prepaid label service at the moment.

You need to send it back to our warehouse by yourself, and we will arrange a refund for you.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Retro heaven anbernic RG40XXV

Ordered the anbernic RG40XXV and it's superb. Build quality is great and the LCD screen means the colours are crisp with no game lag. The game catalogue is huge (16000 games!!!) I was interested in only PS1 and SNES but have discovered so many great games for mega drive and Gameboy. Delivery was good and I was informed at each stage. Have already recommended and will be purchasing more from this company.

I was informed this would ship from UK…

I was informed this would ship from UK stock. It didn’t—it came from China. I try to avoid buying direct from China and wouldn’t have ordered if they’d been clear. WhatGeek charges more than other sellers but gives you the same slow delivery and no local support. You get the worst of both worlds. Avoid.

Hi,

We’re sorry for the shipping mismatch and your disappointment.

This was an inventory error—we’ve updated stock info to avoid repeats.

To make it right, we’ll offer a [15]% refund (or a voucher) for the inconvenience.

We’re working on faster China-to-UK shipping & clearer comms.

Thanks for holding us accountable—we’ll do better.

Best regards,

Absolutely terrible experience.

Absolutely terrible experience.
I purchased an item which was to be shipped to the UK with free shipping advertised. The next day or two later I received an email that they cannot ship the item because they priced it wrong and expected me to pay and additional 100 pound shipping charge.

I followed up many times seeking a refund and I ended up having to raise a case with PayPal.

Avoid!!!
