Summary:

Good prices and that's all you get. It's not just one issue, such as mixed up orders. There were problems with on all 3 orders and a serious lack of effort to help. In one case where I explained the light was dead on the buttons and sent a picture showing what I meant. Tony Zhou replied "pls reset it. i think you install too many software".

After having several dealings with them, it’s now very clear this is absolutely not a business you want to be dealing with. True they have some of the cheapest prices, but this is nowhere near a risk worth taking to save just a couple bucks.

Pre-Ordering If there’s one thing Mixeshop excels at, it’s this department. They have several sales associates waiting to talk to you.

Order Accuracy – Absolutely abysmal. In 3 out of 3 shipped orders there was some problem with order accuracy. Keep in mind these were simple, small orders. Example – ordering TRRS headphone adapters and they sent 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapters instead. Ordering a black phone with a white case and the order held up for 3 days because they didn’t have the white case like they said they did. Ordering a phone with a flip case and the order held up because no flip case actually existed for that phone yet.

On top of it all, I believe the JiaYu G2 they sent was a copy. With 3 pairs of original JiaYu G2 headphones, the sound was an absolute mess unless pressing the Mic button. This is a widely known problem that occurs when trying to plug TRRS headphones into TRS jacks.

 

Post-Sale Customer Service – Virtually non-existent. When I told them of the problem with my customers headphones, the reply I got was this from Tina Zhang (paraphrasing) “The most important thing is that the phone call works. I don’t use headphones with my phone.”. If that’s the case, I would of bought a $10 old Nokia. I’m not sure about you, but I spend $150 on a phone and the music and sound should come properly out of the jack. It wasn’t so much that there was a problem, it was that they refused to see it as a problem.

Additionally, on a another phone ordered, one of the capacitive button’s LED lights died. After talking to 3 different agents for the company and sending pictures of the dead LED light, as well as a picture of a similar circuit board to show what piece I needed, I got exactly this – Nothing. No reply at all.

Verdict – Stay away. There are shops that actually care and will do their best to help you out. They’re far and few between, but they exist. Also, I might add that they know I have a website that reviews merchants and this is the treatment I got. My review of their shop comes up on page #1 of google. Imagine the average customer?
