I ordered a couple of things before, everything was not bad. Now I ordered a phone from them. I've been waiting for him for three months. They deferred as best they could, promised to send in a week, two months. About 2 weeks ago, they said they had sent it. Track number doesn't work. I haven't received the phone yet. I just began to hate them. If your nerves and patience are dear to you, do not order anything from them. The mail is very hard to answer., Deceive. Rare scum
It is fake web site no assurance. I did not receive my ordered #*******. I called on the phone but he does not answer
Do not at all think about buying from this company, they delivered a broken camera, did not assume any responsibility, tricked me into sending it back, kept it and now I have no money, no camera.
BANDIDS - they should be shut down!

Ordered items in the past from Eglobal and put the delays and desperately poor customer service to it being a busy xmas season.
Ordered an iPhone for my daughters birthday as her old phone is broken and a replacement was badly needed
Item was tracked and shipped, with a significant delay, then went missing in the courier final depot.:(
The courier company investigated and responded very promptly, but Eglobal have been an absolute n utter disaster, they ignore email, haven't contacted the courier, and a month after order date, I still have no phone, and no communication from eglobal >:(
So today I've had to start a claim through my bank to try get some sort of action.
Out of pocket for the cost of the phone over a month and no phone to show for it... and a very upset daughter, cant even get another phone until this original mess is sorted out.
Moral:
NEVER BUY FROM THESE MESSERS... they have no clue what customer service is.
I had to wait for months for the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ product that I paid for at the time of ordering, with one month passing before anyone even contacted me to respond to my question of them ever receiving the order and payment. Then I got the non-functional device and had to become an amateur video producer to create a video proving that it was non-functional.
I tried connecting the Buds+ with three different phone models and experienced the same thing; the left earbud never connected to the phone/app and never produced a single sound. It is completely dead. I experience the issue under every situation, I tried their suggested fix and I tried every suggestion that I found on every Samsung forum (which was easy as this is a VERY common issue). I even took it to a certified technician at a local Samsung Gallery and watched them troubleshoot it with the exact same result on their phone. The left bud NEVER connected, NEVER charged and NEVER functioned. They couldn't help me however, because this model is an Asian market model and therefore not under warranty in the EU.
I then returned the faulty product and within DAYS (not months) they replied telling me that their "technician" found nothing wrong. My only recourse now according to eGlobal is to send them 80 more Euros for them to return what is almost certainly still a dead product, or eat the cost of the earbuds. This is blatant manipulation and thievery conducted under the guise of an online company that is capitalizing on our inability to purchase from in person stores during the pandemic.
I am extremely sorry that I didn't read the warnings from here regarding E-global. I ordered a phone from the a couple of weeks ago. Now, I am waiting to get my Phone from them. They sent me wrong tracking number(from DHL saying they didn't receive a oriduct yet) and are not responding when I want to cancel my order. I paid with Paypal and choose insured shipping method. How can I get out of this mess? Any help is appreciated.
It has been 98 days since I ordered a Nintendo Switch (which was listed as 'in stock') and I have not received it. Support will string you along for a few weeks with canned response emails, and then they ignore you. I also submitted an RMA case online and it was closed immediately, they told me to contact their support team (who are unresponsive).
Complete joke of a company.
I was worried after reading other reviews that the Nintendo Switch I ordered would never arrive. It did, but took six weeks to get from China to Oregon, just in time for my daughter's birthday. Tracking only available until item arrived in US, so the shipping method somewhat sketchy. The switch works fine and got it for a decent price.
Communication was poor, but shipping was a reasonable 4 weeks (with lackluster tracking) and the well priced product arrived in new condition.
Ordered Nintendo switch 4/21/2020. It is now 5/9/2020 and shipment has been sitting at shipping partner "NEWGISTICS" since 4/26/2020.
Recommend ordering from more reputable company.

Ordered a mobile phone on the 9th of March 2020 by standard delivery, it is the 15th of April 2020 and haven't received it yet. E-mailed them 9 times for the past 3 weeks and they haven't even bothered to reply. Been given a Royal Mail tracking number but the shipping information hasn't been updated since the 18th of March 2020, it still says "Item is on its way to the RDC" (meaning " We are expecting it", post office says).
Rubbish customer service, the only way you could contact them being by e-mail.
I do not recommend eglobalcentraluk.com, obviously.
Update: On the 17th of April I received an e-mail from eGlobal saying they would open a case with the courier regarding my order and e-mail me back as soon as possible, then on the 28th of April was told that they were still tracing the courier.
It is the 21st of May 2020 and I am still waiting for the order to be delivered. Fortunately, I managed to make a charge-back claim with VISA on the 27th of April and I received a full refund the next day for now (even though the investigation process could take up to 8 weeks).
Also filed a complaint on consumer.org.hk (from Hong Kong) on the 24th of April. They e-mailed back on the 4th of May saying that they had also e-mailed eGlobal, trying to solve our dispute...
Asked for a refund minutes after placing the order. No answer except to say it was processing and about to be shipped. And now, 27 days later, after numerous emails and attempts to phone them, there is an "unexpected" delay. Thieves!
Terrible. Ordered a phone, one month later, no sign of it, no response from company. They have disabled the "package not received" form on their web site, lol -- that tells you all you need to know. Am having to reverse the payment on my credit card. For 20 Euros more I could have got the same phone overnight from my phone provider here at home! Nightmare, avoid at all costs, you have been warned.
Made purchase and had to badger them to cancel it and get a refund. Then got an email from an "anonymous" person telling me they had my password and to pay them or else. It happened to be the Password i used for this company, didn't use it anywhere else. Not making nay accusations, You reach your own conclusions.
Completely dishonest. Products are shipped from overseas and shipping is guaranteed to take at least 1 month. They are extremely unresponsive. Buy your products elsewhere and save the headache.
This company has a 14 day returns policy, except they don't refund your money! The phone was brand new, but the screen wouldn't lock during a call, so all buttons got pressed accidentally and it was impossible to keep talking. Their tech tells me its completely fine, so it is not possible to handle it as a repair. Then they state your item has scratches and it can't be refunded either... but it had no scratches when I sent it and, THEY SENT FOTOS OF DIFFERENT SCRATCHES, DIFFERENT MOBILES! They are just trying to deceive customers! This has been going on for months, and I want my money back. Do not buy from this store.
I ordered headphones from them, they were sent back, eGlobal has ignored all attempts to contact them, kept the headphones, and kept my 250 euros. They're thieves and there's no recourse as they're based in Hong Kong.
I bought an audio headphone on that website. Customer service is a fraud. They charge 40 euros to return your purchase if it's not covered by the guarantee. It's almost a scam. Don't buy anything valuable on that website, it's a scam!
Stay away
Do not use this company! Load of crap! 3 weeks ago paid for Iphone11 as Christmas present for my daughter, keep sending me fake tracking number and automated reply's "our logistic department will contact the courier company for your order delivery issue". One off business
It is a chinese company and the shipping takes weeks.
The customer support is useless and not helping at all.
If you cancel they will charge you over 50 euro.
AVOID THEM
Answer: Please try to cancel it. You won't be able to get a refund
Answer: Stay away from eGlobal Central. They send defective items and look for subterfuges (or plain lies) for refusing refund.
Answer: This company used to be called eGlobal Digital Camera's. They have since then closed and started up as eGlobal Central. I didn't realise this until I started doing searches on them. My understanding, from the searches i have done and the broken product i received from eGlobal Central, is that they are based in Hong Kong, their customer service basically sends you repeated messages of them not being liable for any fault (i. E. lack of delivery, broken item, wrong item, etc). So it is luck of the draw getting the right item and fingers crossed you don't have to contact their customer service EVER!.
