Competitive pricing
November 10, 2020

I've just received airpods from this company. The headphones sound perfect, and the customer service was top notch. Chat was available for any questions. Great product selection, competitive pricing!

I bought the Apple I watch 6 for my daughters 16th birthday. She's impressed with the watch just as I am with Techinthebasket.
The watch was £60 cheaper than anywhere else on the market, and it's real, and it came within the the delivery time scale. Would definitely recommend Techinthebasket.

Great value for money
October 28, 2020

After reading some of the reviews I was concerned ordering an Apple Watch, however I shouldn't have worried. I received a confirmation email after placing my order. On shipping I received a further email with a link to track my delivery with Royal mail. After a few days I recontacted them as the tracking page hadn't been updated but received a response immediately with a delivery update. My item arrived via Royal Mail brand new in sealed original packaging. The delivery may have taken slightly longer than originally expected but I have no issues what so ever with this purchase and would use them again

Full refund
October 23, 2020

I ordered an Apple Watch series 6 as a gift. It was about £70 cheaper than elsewhere. Unfortunately I discovered the recipient wanted something else after I placed the order. As it had only been a day or two and the watch hadn't yet shipped I asked if I could cancel the order for a refund. Customer Services responded very quickly and said they would cancel. I received a full refund within a couple of days. I can't vouch for the product quality or delivery but customer service was very good.

As many reviews suggest the items are being imported from outside the UK. This can lead not only to long delays, but also region issues such as with the Galaxy watch I ordered which is locked to regions of South America. I'm attempting to resolve this with Samsung but the 2 week wait to get a product that I then have to get fixed so that it works as expected is not worth the cheaper price. Trust me.

Update: After talking to Samsung their recommendation was to send the product back. Info for doing this is on techinthebasket.com (add /returns to the address)
Important! Read the page on citizensadvice.org.uk about 14 day cooling off too. Was offered £10 for the £282.99 product at one point! Though this may have just been poor use of english in their email. They would not refund my postage unless I remove this review! If you want a cheap, semi-functional product (or one that you can fix if you have the technical skills) then this may be a good site for you as the product was at least in brand new condition.

Good quality
October 20, 2020

Only had the oppo reno 2z for a few days, but feels and looks good quality, easy to transfer data and set up... brilliant screen for watching movies/football/youtube etc, pretty easy to navigate... like I said it's early days and time will tell, but so far I'm pleased.

Ordered an iPad and get the tracking number in a few days, but no tracking record at first. Contacted customer services who explained it would become active when Royal Mail received the package. They also said the package would be with me within 8 days after ordering.
It does activate this a bit later and the iPad arrived on time.
Do not be worried about the tracking number not being recognized.
100% will use this site again.

Dissapointment
October 8, 2020

I ordered a lens with techinthebasket.
The next day my order was cancelled without any information, got an email from paypal that I will get my money back.
I contacted techinthebasket, i was told the product is not available?
Went back to their website, product is still there and more expensive!
Very disappointed with this company!

It's a Scam. Simple! Paypal luckily reimbursed me.

This is a truly shocking company that should NEVER BE USED.

DPD had no order of this nature.

I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH MISERY THIS COMPANY HAVE CAUSED ME.

They kept fobbing me off.

At one point they said, "Please don't worry, we will be in contact with DPD very soon.

It is hard to believe this company is still allowed to operate. Chances are, they'll liquidate the company and reopen under another name. My guess is they'll pursue this business model because they'll assume most people will not have the appetite to pursue their purchases.

I have told DPD about this course of action.

I was in a hurry to get another phone and £600 and two months later, I now have my money back.
