Tradeinn is Unreliable and looks like a scam site.
September 15, 2023

I don't think I'm gonna get my purchase. It's almost 3 months later. I will never buy again from Tradeinn and I encourage ppl to be weary or you will loose money as I have now. On contacting Tradeinn on instagram they said I must contact the local post office which I think as a customer and their inability to trace or sort this out show their integrity and how they treat or think of customers.

I have ordered a pair of bike wheels, paying extra for DHL EXPRESS shipping. Severe delay to even ship (and it was not written the part is on back order) - and I had to pay DHL again (more than just import tax) - so the shipping itself was almost 1/3 of the cost. Interestingly, DHL asked for the extra shipping/handling/tax cost even before the product arrived in Canada. TradeInn would not even consider that CAD400 for shipping that is not fast is ridiculous.

Ho ordinato una colla per 8 euro. Il giorno dopo, senza il mio permesso, dalla carta vengono detratti 29,90 euro per il tracciamento del pacco, che costa 0,49 centesimi per 72 ore, e poi senza alcun preavviso iniziano a detrarre 29,90 euro al mese! State attenti! Non comprerò mai più nulla da loro!

Worst site ever!
September 7, 2023

Extremely unhappy and disappointed with the service! I ordered a device on August 18, order number *******, and almost a month later, I have received nothing! I was given a Colissimo tracking number... which indicates that Colissimo, in France, has never received a package, has not taken charge of a package. I paid almost 190 euros for this product, and I got nothing, it's shameful, for a first experience on this site! If I do not have a replacement product shipped quickly, I file a complaint at the police station where I reside in France as well as a complaint in Spain, for fraud, with the police in Celrà, in Girona. Sincerely, Mr.

All you get from Tradeinn is the run around. They are scammers and you'll never get your item. Go luck getting a refund too. Satisfaction is not guaranteed

Appalling service, avoid it like you would, the COVID virus. Tradeinn got so many things wrong, and so little (barely) right.

Bought a few items off Bikeinn (one of many entities under Tradeinn), and received the order confirmation soon after. Took all of 6 days for Bikeinn to let me know that 1 of the 2 identical items that I had ordered were unavailable, with the option to cancel the order (for either 1 or both items).

On checking the order in my account (or the Bikeinn site), the status showed that the order had been shipped. There were zero responses to questions seeking clarifications on this.

Following a decision to cancel the order, there was zero acknowledgement on next steps, and if I would be reimbursed. Zero, nothing, no response whatsoever. Attempts to get in touch with Bikeinn, regarding the order (and the cancellation) were made with multiple standardised responses that were exactly the same, word-for-word (I'm looking at you, Sylvester and Paul).

To date (2.5 weeks since the order was confirmed), there's been no response to indicate if I would be reimbursed for the cancelled order.

I had ordered tires from TradeInn and got the wrong size delivered. TradeInn only responded with automated emails that were just a stalling tactic. Fortunately, I was able to activate buyer protection via PayPal and got part of my money back that way. However, I still have to pay for the return shipping and have no tires. Absolutely bad service and not recommended. Hands off TradeInn!

Definitely buyer beware with this company.
August 15, 2023

I bought some what were described as hiking shoes. When they arrived, which did take a couple of weeks, they looked really great, until I checked them out. They had holes in the bottom, yes on purpose. It turns out they are really water sports shoes, definitely great for that as the water would drain straight out the bottom holes. Unfortunately for hiking or walking, unless you only do it in the dry, as soon as it rains or step in a puddle, water would come straight in via the holes, so wet socks for the rest of the day! Hardly walking or hiking shoes?
So I contacted them and after a bit of to and froing they said return them via our recommended route and they would refund everything, as they were mis-described.
Returned them to a UK address for £11.49 (I could have done it much cheaper) and they then only refunded the shoes cost, not the return postage of their mis-described product, they still refuse to refund it now, so I will have to take the time to take it further. I also had to pay £8.99 postage to me in the first place, so they owe me £20.48. Why should I pay to receive and return was is in effect a faulty product, not designed to do what it was advertised as, and the only reason I bought it in the first place?
I definitely would never buy anything from them ever again.

Purchased a blood pressure machine months ago, but never received the product. TRADEINN refuses to refund my money and has stopped answering my messages. Don't waste your money and buy somehwere else with a more reliable provider.

Worst Customer experience i've had in a long time.
I've ordered a surfboard for my holidays as tradeinn promised to deliver between 3-5 days. 3 weeks and countless emails later, they refused to reimburse me even though the order didn't reach me. My holidays were obviously over by then.
They finally delivered the surfboard 4 weeks later but 75% of the order was missing (leash, pad, wax, surfbag, etc...). They now refuse to reimburse me the missing part of the delivery!
Obviously they are impossible to reach by phone...

DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING with TRADEINN. It's a guaranteed headache if you do.

Placed an order on June 24/23. Told me I'd receive it by June 6/23. It's now July 4/23 and no order and still taking payments from my card. I've sent emails with no returns. No where to call. Told me order was in customs could be 60 days or longer before being released by customs. Last info I got was my order was sent back to consigner and they won't refund payments I've made. Terrible company to deal with and most of their products come from foreign countries. Don't waste your time with this company. They're terrible and no customer service.

Awful service
July 31, 2023

Absolutely awful service. I have been trying to return a defective product for a month now, it has been returned to me TWICE now. The staff are rude and unhelpful- they also don't seem to care about service and lack general manners. Do not do business with this company, they have no respect for their customers.

Better not to buy from Tradeinn, at least not online from abroad, in the case of a return you have to wait forever for a refund! According to Tradeinn, 2-4 weeks are to be calculated for the return transport to Spain, only then will an examination and, if necessary, a refund take place! So stay away and buy somewhere else!

Besser man kauft nicht bei Tradeinn, zumindest nicht online aus dem Ausland, im Falle einer Retoure wartet man ewig auf eine Erstattung! Laut Tradeinn sind 2-4 Wochen schon für den Rücktransport nach Spanien zu kalkulieren, erst dann findet eine Prüfung und ggf eine Erstattung statt! Also Finger weg und woanders kaufen!

I was ordering things on this website since 2018 but will do that no more.
I ordered a mesh bag which was supposedly designed to be attached to a swimmer's body: see the description and the picture from the seller's website. Instead I received a regular mesh bag which is good only for storage of the swimming equipment.
The seller's return policy claims that if they make some mistake with the order the seller will return an original shipping fee and will cover return shipping expenses. In my case they simply refused to acknowledge any mistake at all with no explanation: they claimed that I received what I ordered and that if I wanted I could return the goods at my own expenses and get back the item's cost. The mesh bag costed me 6.99, the original shipping 3.99 and the return shipping from Italy started with 23 Eur.
I totally confirm what the other reviewers said: they don't care about their own incorrect descriptions and their own incorrect pictures as long as they are totally fine with you returning anything to them.
I started a case with Paypal and got back my money from them: they also were not willing to cover the return shipping expenses which were nearly 4 times the item's costs, so they just returned me the money I wasted on the item.
Before they always shipped to me what I ordered and all was fine (even though some items were very low-quality). But this case showed to me that in effect there's no customer support and that they don't really care…

I bought an Electrolux cooker extractor earlier this year. Delivery information was virtually nil. I was led to believe it would arrive in a number of days. It turned out that that was when the order would be processed. It took so long to arrive and no info was coming through I thought I had been scammed. Then it was in the country (company based in Spain) and took many days to get through customs. It eventually arrived, I had a quick look inside to make sure it was the right item. It was so I stored the box until the kitchen was ready which took a few weeks.

When I came to fit the unit it did not feel like a sturdy unit. When I pulled the filter out to start the extractor I saw the housing for the buttons was broken causing the instability of the unit.

I contacted TradeInn many times about this before eventually getting a reply saying I had to use their web based complaint form. This form needs 6 photos of the damage before the form can be submitted…. But there is a limit on the size of the photos. It took me days of trying to make them smaller. I ended up with 1 that was small enough, so sent that 6 times. I added that the damage must have been caused at the packing stage as there were no bits in the bag, and the box was not damaged. They replied that they could not do anything as there was a very short time window between delivery and being able to make a claim against the couriers. This despite me telling them is was most likely damaged before being shipped. More ambiguous emails back and forth then they said I could return it for inspection. It was not clear if they would reimburse and the whole process could take 6 weeks from them receiving the unit. Completely unacceptable. I did not trust them enough to send it back so I had a £175 extractor that was damaged. I asked them if there was a spare part they could send and I could replace the switch housing myself… no reply. I eventually got one from eSpares in the uk for a couple of quid.
The whole process was bewildering and frustrating. There replies were almost cryptic at time, as though they did not fully understand English…seemed like the replies were all computer generated.
I am convinced it is like this so people get fed up with the process….I did.
Definitely not satisfied with how this company work and their customer service skills are appalling.

Don't buy in Trade inn!
July 7, 2023

I made a purchase at Trade inn (order: *******) with an expectation of delivery in 4 days. After more than 20 days, I have not received the package and I have no news of what happened to it. Due to the delay, I canceled the purchase and they refuse to refund me. Even after countless emails. If you don't want to have headaches, DON'T BUY AT TRADE INN!
