Here is another nasty deal from DealFind for Android Tablets. They don’t know the make of the product, remove valuable comments absolutely ignoring their customers and caring only about their own profit as they did with some past deals which turned to be a scam. Even with DealFind discount, the total price is about the same or even higher than other retailers offer.
The deal was:
$85 for a 7inch Google Android 2.2 Tablet Including Shipping from Fabuless Products ($399 Value)
By the end of Dec 26 over 3,500 customers purchased this “fantastic” deal. Screenshot from http://www.dealfind.com/toronto/fabulesscan/
Basically DealFind and Fabuless Products claim that the regular price for this 7inch Google Android 2.2 Tablet is $399 and they give 79% discount selling it for $85. Seems too good to be true, right? Let’s take a look…
It’s a piece of electronic, so there are two possible reasons for such a big discount:
- The product is fake OR (maybe even AND)
- The price is incredibly inflated
Let’s skip the first assumption, however we know that DealFind already sold thousands of fake memory cards, and check the second assumption.
Here is a link with product description provided on the deal page:
http://fabulessproducts.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=57&product_id=41
The price is indeed $399 there:
The product description page does not specify manufacturer and model number for some reason, so it’s hard to compare prices with other retailers. Some customers also asked these questions on DealFind discussion board, but unfortunately representatives do not know what they sell:
They just provided model number of processor used in the Tablet PC, but not the actual manufacturer:
This model is the Wondermedia 8650
People then started to search for reviews and found very useful link with problems and tips related to these tablets “WM 8650 Tablet and few Problems“:
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/wondermedia-based/20327-wm-8650-tablet-few-problems.html
But DealFind thought that it will turn customers away and just removed the comments:
Above two comments are removed now from DealFind discussion board. Actually it is known that they remove any comment which may negatively affect sales totally ignoring customers. Why anyone should use DealFind after that at all?!
Let’s try to figure out what the make of the Tablet PC is.
This is another screenshot from http://fabulessproducts.com:
The same pictures appear on another website CoolDroids.com
http://www.cooldroids.com/7-android-2-2-tablet-pc-wi-fi-4gb-512mb-ram-800mhz-flash-10-1/
Most likely Fabuless Products and Cool Droids are related to each other somehow.
From the picture on CoolDroids.com we see that the make of this Tablet PC is Eken, and now it’s much easier to compare prices.
The very similar one (if not the same) I could find was:
EKEN M009S 7″ epad android 2.2 VIA8650 800MHz wifi 3G Camera tablet pc
for $60 here:
http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/104710/211059827-500713361/EKEN-M009S-7-epad-android-2-2-VIA8650-800MHz-wifi-3G-Camera-tablet-pc.html
(click on image to enlarge)
The price for single unit is US $60. Including UPS Expedited Shipping it is US $78.91.
That is the real market price is $80.50 CAD. But DealFind sells it for $85 claiming the real value of $399!
So, basically Fabuless Products and DealFind inflated the price at least in five times!
Everyone can purchase the same Tablets at aliexpress.com and receive it much faster without waiting for another couple weeks in order to redeem coupons at fabulessproducts.com and 21 day for delivery as they inform in their terms and conditions. (Note: I’m not encouraging anyone to do so. Aliexpress is provided only for informational purposes here). There is also some buyers protection available…
What we have:
DealFind and Fabuless Products sell Tablet PC’s at a bit higher price than the market price is with the help of false/deceptive advertisement of 79% discount. We also know that about 50% go to DealFind and 50% go to the merchant. Shipping cost money also. It means that Fabuless Products should buy these tablets for maximum of $30 from somewhere…
Neither Fabuless Products nor Cool Droids show back of the Tablet PC which has the brand name on it. DealFind do not tell the manufacturer’s name. So probably they are not even genuine Eken Android Tablets…
Beware!
Just found another retailer selling it for $59.99 USD with Free Shipping…
http://www.stopfinger.com/goods_aWQJNDgyNQ==.html
Initially DealFind was offering leather carrying case, earphones and free shipping:

After deal ended they withdrawn these valuable conditions…

People in the comments section mentioned that extra charges for shipping/handling/taxes went to Andrew Ferreira through PayPal. First of all thanks for this information.

It let me think that Andrew Ferreira and Andrew Atella is the same person who registered fabulessproducts.com and now accepting payments via PayPal from customers who purchased Android Tablets from DealFind.
Here is some information about Andrew Atella which is publicly available in the Internet. If anyone has problems reaching Fabuless Products via 1-888-702-6632 phone number provided by DealFind or contact form/e-mail on their website, maybe it’s worth to try alternative methods.

Class action suit against Dealfind and Fabuless
Thanks Everyone who provided feedback and valuable information!
Trueler.com got a response from person who suffered from this scam and also had to pay extra trying to ship Tablets back, but still can’t get refunds.
If anyone has problems with full refunds (including for shipping back if it was requested by DealFind/Fabuless), please send me a note via http://trueler.com/contact-us/ or speak up in comments indicating that you wish to participate in class action suit against Dealfind and Fabuless. I will forward you contact information of that person.
Update: Unfortunately lawyers were not interested in this, and unfortunately there is no class action law suite started…
I’ve actually used delafind for quite a lot of things like lessons, massages and hotels but never for electronics.
i did find a girl who caught the dreamdeal though and she got an ipad 2 for 100 dollars. i contacted her and it seemed legit.
i dont think dealfind should be blamed for this mishap. after all, FABUless has to contact dealfin in order to run their deal on dealfind.
DEALFIND IS NOT A SCAM I HAVE USED IT!
I tried several times to get the product shipped – I just found this page today. No one from Fabuless responded to my multiple inquiries. I can see why now – how can this company still be in business with all of these complaints? Who is the CEO? Do they have any idea how they have damaged all credibility here? What I hear you all saying is DealFind would get me a refund. I will make my request today – but it is well past the 30 day order period.
I just spoke to the Better Business Bureau of Toronto and they have informed me that these scammers are at it again!
The greed of this Andrew Atella/Ferreira guy is unreal. I say we all contact a local news agency and turn this into an investigative report!

This unit is a piece of crap. Really bad quality wont go wireless.. Took seven weeks to arriv. But I have recieved a full refund.
I have made several purchases through DealFind and while I realize they are pretty much the ‘middle man’ with these merchants (most of which are legit and upstanding), what has caused them to lose my business is their lack of desire to honor the ‘DealFind Promise’….which states…”If you’re unhappy with anything you bought from Dealfind, tell us and we’ll do our best to make things right”. When I had a horrible stay with the Travelodge in Calgary, I had called DealFind expecting them to “do their best to make things right” and this not only couldn’t be further from the truth but is an outright lie!!! It takes ALOT for me to be unhappy and/or complain about something but their indifference and lack of desire to do anything to honor their promise (even after I threatened to take my business to the other many sites such as theirs)all they care about is taking our $$$ and doing as little as possible to mess with that. As much as I had a horrible experience with the Calgary Travelodge , I also had an AMAZING experience with the Best Western OceanFront Resort in Sooke,BC. While DealFind may get a piece of the profit with these merchants, either these merchants are reputable…or they aren’t. Obviously DealFind dosn’t care so much about that because they are making $$$ regardless of which merchant offers the deal on their site,but as for DealFind themselves once the have your money,they don’t care or could be bothered to keep you or your $$$ coming in. Unless and until we take a stand (and maybe get a boycott going..like agree on a specific day or timeframe to NOT make any purchases on their site so we hit them where it matters to THEM), I suspect nothing will change. The saddest thing about this is all the keep saying is once you use your voucher we don’t issue refunds…I didn’t specifically ask for a refund. Just for them to care…they could have at the very least called the Travelodge directly to relay my concerns (not like the hotel doesn’t know their guests are unhappy there as i witnessed several customers complaining) or offered a credit for purchase towards another hotel stay somewhere else! THEY SUCK!!!
I have been trying to get the tablet that I ordered since boxing day to date I was shipped a disfunctional tablet which is a fire hazards it gets too hot to even touch when plugged in and dont even turn on. I have called dealfind sent them pictures they agreed to refund then they wanted videos. This is pass ridiculous I got the tablet in late February it was clearly well used before it got to me even the pen was worn out it had major dents all over it and scratches. I am still trying to get my money back. I am in the process of filing formal complaint with the ministry of consumer affairs Ministry of Consumer Services

since the two 30 day periods have passed and I am yet to get the product I ordered or my money back. In addition people need to know that they can file a civil lawsuit it cost money but the losers will pay these people need to be put out of business this is a scam.Dealfind should be named as party to this since they are well aware of the scam. I got the following excuses..the container did not arrive, they are waiting to get enough orders to fill the container to ship it to Toronto, the container ended up in a different location, my order went to a different address, sorry wrong address in our database ( I typed in the address and considering that I have lived here for over 7 years and do not suffer from dementia I KNOW WHERE I LIVE )the excuses kept going on and on. It is now May I dont have the product I ordered and I dont have my money. Somebody will have to pay.
Hi guys,
I found this link and read all your comments. I have made all the attempts possible and used up all the patience on Fabuless Products and decided I had enough.
I called / emailed them SOO MANY TIMES starting in January, yes I even came to talk to Andrew Ferreira or Andrew Atella. Everytime I was promised I will get my tax (which I paid via PayPal back) within X days, or Fabulous products people gave me reasons like you need a PayPal account and nothing ever came through as promised by them.
Just contact your credit card company, explain the situation to them, tell them about our situation (mention about the comments on this page and the Internet).
Initially the credit card representative told me they cannot dispute a charge past 90 days, I explained to her I think Fabulous Products knows about how the credit card dispute system works and that is why they keep on lying to us about how the refund is on the way to get past that 90 days period so they can keep our money. In the end, she was happy to help me out and it is now in the process of dispute. She did give me my credit back though.
I hope more people can get their money back from Fabulous Products, it is just sad the way they do their business.
Just called deal find and asked for a refund. We’ll see if it comes through
I got effed on this too. Weeee
I also ordered three of these tablets from Dealfind/Fabuless Products. I received one, which doesn’t work, and the other two were cancelled, as per all these other orders in this forum. However, I decided to find their office in Toronto, listed on the website as 15 Iceboat Terrace. I discovered a fairly new condo residence apartment building with security at the front door, but no one from Fabuless living there. The security people told me that the Fabuless co. was one man and his girlfriend, who had moved out early this year. They pointed to a pile of boxes returned to the company, which the man occasionally picks up (returned tablets, no doubt). This address is still on their website, but it is not an office, and not even the guy’s residence anymore. Dealfind gave me a refund for the two tablets not delivered, but I don’t expect my $11.00 per tablet to be refunded. To be fair to Dealfind, they make arrangements with a service or product provider who sometimes doesn’t deliver, and issues refunds promptly when this happens.
Debi,
Call your credit card company and get them to do a charge back for the $22. Just tell them the product you purchased did not mention shipping charge until after you made the purchas plus you never got the product. My credit card company didn’t even ask any further questions after I told them it was Dealfind and Fabuless. I guess they were already familiar with the problem. Good luck.
My Credit card company finally reimbursed the $170.00 charge to my credit card, I got tired of no return calls by a real person and no product delivered after several lies, It was shipped…I hope they are under criminal wire fraud investigation for this and many other complaints i’ve seen! NEVER SHOP AGAIN WITH THIS COMPANY!!!
I was offered a full refund or 110% in dealfind dollars. I chose a refund and received it 3 days later on my Credit card. I am now a happy camper.
I’m pretty tired of their promises. Guess I’ll be contacting the BBB. Sad that some people do business like this.
I’ve been contacted by Dealfind and they said I should see my refund within a week. Did anyone get the $11 back for the taxes? Dealfind told me they had nothing to do with that and I should contact Fabuless. I can’t get a hold of Fabuless and they won’t return any of my calls. I ordered 2 tablets, so they owe me $22, which I paid through Paypal. If anyone knows how I can recover this money I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!!
I filed complaint with BBB against Fabuless.I had contacted Dealfind a couple of weeks before,but after the BBB complaint,dealfind responded,and praise the lord and pass the peanut butter,I had a credit on my Visa in about a week from dealfind.Didn’t even need to return the tablet.Now I can rip it apart and try fix
File a complaint with Better Business Bureau, got my refund within 10 days.
I can’t get anyone to get back to me about my refund i only get someone will get with you in 5-7 day that been 2 month how many 5-7 day do i need to wait to get my money back there was no problem taking it out of my credit card account but there a problem deposit it back.
I sent back that junk to Dealfind and asked refund. When I sent it I sent all information too (Voucher #, Name on order, Order ID, Product). They sent me an e-mail and asked me send all information again. It’s a joke.
I did receive mine (Android tablet) (after submitting the order twice)about 6 week after first order,I paid $159 ( I think) but was assured it was an “HD” with an 8 hour battery life,well worth the extra money over the $89 unit it worked for about a month(sometimes)until finally it would not recharge.Two web forms and three phone messages later,still no responce.Would Marketplace be interested in this scam?Please include me if there is ever a class action suit
I did ask Deal find for a refund, which they agreed to. They sent an email confirming a refund in 5-10 business days. 10 business days later I got an email stating my refund had been processed and I would see it on my credit card in 5 – 10 business days…. 10 business days later I finally got it.
Ask for the refund. Stay on hold and be calm.
Lets make sure that they do not profit from us all wanting a great product as promised but to be so disappointed in one company. Karma
I was one of the original orders for the 7″ google android
It took 2 and a half months to get it.
This is definitely the worst product I have ever ordered over the internet.
$5.oo would be too much much less $85.00
The only thing that really works is the Calendar.
The touch screen occasionaly works if you are in the right spot and press really hard but will get you nowhere.
I don’t expect any company who would sell something like this to be anything but a Scam
ORDERED IN JAN WITH NO RESPONSE TO MANY EMAILS,AND CALLS.SENT IN REFUND CLAIM AND AGAIN NO ANSWER AS PROMISED. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A JOKE AT BOTH FABULESS AND DEALFIND,ITS NON EXISTENT.
I wish to participate in class action suit against Dealfind and Fabuless, count me on.
After having telephone conversation, I recieved an e-mail from DealFind:

Hi all,
We orderd 5 tablets. Only got 3. We really really like them. BUT WOW, Deal Find is the biggest scammer hiding behind a pretty front. They are serperants. No wonder the company make 2 billion dollars a year. Deal Find scammed everyone here and continues to scam. They took our money, never allocated the whole amount to FabuLESS and then cancelled the deal. Imagine, they have all that money. Some people probably do not even know the deal was cancelled and Deal FInd will keep the money. INSANNNNEEEE. EVERYONE GET YOUR REFUNDS!!!
Contact DealFind at satisfaction@dealfind.com for a full refund, CROCKKKS!!! They still haven’t processed mine!
I received this response from FabuLESS and the refund.

Count me in the class action suit.
I say we use our social media to get the word out on these crooks.
I only came upon these post today because I smelled a rat in trying to get answers from both Fabuless and dealfind. Here’s a summary of my dealings with both in the last few days.
March-28-12 To: customerservice@fabulessproducts.com
I have as not yet received this order and am wondering when I might anticipate doing so.

Hello Carmen,
We do sincerely apologize. We are so sorry to hear you have yet to receive your tablet. We regret to inform you that there is a delay. We do apologize and can relate to the frustration. We wish nothing more but to finalize the deal for customers.
At this time, customers have two options:
Option 1- Contact Deal Find for a refund. (FabuLESS can refund the handling fee)
Option 2- Extend your patience and wait for the order to be released. (There is no time frame at this time.)
We do apologize, however we are doing our best to assist all customers. Please let us know if we can assist you further.

I wish to wait however you have stated that that there is no time line…..does this mean it could be months, years?
Comment: Notice the shift in tone after this last email. I went from being Carmen to Customer. I also should have been suspicious when my spam blocker identified the customer service response as likely spam. I also noticed that fabuless had my IP address listed on their invoice….which I had never provided.

Hello Customer,
We regret to inform you that Android 2.2/2.3 tablet promotion with Dealfind was cancelled and you will not be receiving the product you ordered. We equally share in your frustration and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
At this point we strongly suggest you to contact DealFind at satisfaction@dealfind.com for a refund.
On behalf of FabuLESS Products we thank you for your cooperation and we extremely apologize for this inconvenience.
Lisa | Customer Service Specialist
Comment: I loved that fabuless “shared in my frustration”…maybe they were hoping to evoke some sort of sympathy from me but it just seemed so surreal and bizarre. And what’s with ” we strongly suggest you contact dealfind for a refund”? I have to admit this point I got pissed off. Not hard to detect in my next message to them.
April-02-12 9:49 PM
To: customerservice@fabulessproducts.com;
I don’t know how you can share in my frustration. This was your deal to start with and I feel that I have been scammed. Can’t help but thinking that you offered this promotion as a way to get free advertising for your site/business or perhaps a way of getting email addresses and IP addresses (which I did not provide and you obtained through other means) for sale. I put off buying other products while waiting for you to honor this deal. You have the tablets in stock at your full price so I’m not sure why you are refusing to honor the deal. This is unacceptable. Actually I strongly suggest that you contact dealfind and let them know that you will not be honoring your deal!!! I on the other hand will do what I need to do which will be to use whatever means available to me to let people know that fabuless lacks integrity and that doing business with your company is risky; I will contact the Better Business Association in your area to register my concern as well and will CC you when I do so.
Comment: I also forwarded the above email to customer service at dealfind. Their response follows:
April 3 2012

Then the response came from fabuless:
Hello Carmen,
We are sorry you feel this way. The deal was cancelled without our approval/authorization. We are still honouring the Deal Price if customers wish to buy the product directly through us.
However, you must contact Deal Find to be reimbursed as we do not have your funds. We are more than happy to have correspondence with the BBB as it documents our compliments as well. Please visit: http://fabulessproducts.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=18 to request a refund for your shipping or handling fee.
Again, we do greatly apologize.

Comment: Love how no one really explains what happened or takes the blame for everything going sideways. Not going to touch fabulss offer to purchase directly from them. No point in confirming my stupidity to them by doing that! Luckily I didn’t pay any handling or shipping fees so I don’t need to go after anyone for the refund. Thanks to all the comments here I’m going to ask for dealfind to credit my credit card for $85. Use up my outstanding dealfind vouchers and cancel my dealfind membership. Then count it as a lesson learned!!!!
I’m really sorry to say that, but the person who wanted to start a class action law suite against Fabuless Products and DealFind contacted several lawyers, but nobody was interested in it… So, continue to push DealFind to get your refunds and do not forget to write your reviews about them in the Internet!
Regards,
Trueler
Oh man – looks like I got ripped off too.
I placed my order March 10th and got nothing. Did not have to pay the $11.00 – was advised it was COD.
Just sent my request for refund to DEALFIND but I am not hopeful – I have dealt with their customer service over another issue and it is CRAP.
So disappointed. If there is a lawsuit please COUNT ME IN AS WELL!!!!!
I purchased 2 and am out $170.00 – snif!
Count me in on any class action lawsuit, too. These scammers shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this.
Please include me in on any class action lawsuit regarding Fabulous or Dealfind. They continue to scam people out of their money on a daily basis and never delivering on their products.
Count me in too!

I purchased (or thought I did) 2 tablets from Dealfind on Jan 30th, tried on several occasions to contact anyone from Fabulous or Dealfind to get my products – after 3 mths was told that they cannot get the product and will redund my original monies. This is CRAZY! They sold 4200 tablets that day @ $85 ($357,000) and held on to customer’s monies for more than 3 mths, use it at their disposal and slowly refund the money over a long period of time!
This is thief in a different form and we need to all get together to take legal action against Dealfind.
Before knowing that Dealfind is a website set out to use people’s money and slowly refund it over a long period of time, I purchased 2 vouchers from Ultra Tech Painting to paint 2 rooms during Spring but I cannot get an appointment they said until (maybe) September and to leave a message to set up except that their mailbox is full………..
DEALFIND needs to be shut down and stop stealing people’s money!
I also have written to Fabulous of my probs with the Adroid. I received it a few days before i went away (Feb3)on vacation and had probs getting it to acknowledge my wireless internet. I was right in front of my hub and it still said no signals. I had issues with the charging of the unit also.It is a piece of junk is what it is and i was silly to think i would get anything better for that price.I immediately sent an email requesting a refund and that they contact me upon my return Feb 18th to tell me what i should do to get this refund. Didn’t hear a peep from them. Got busy and was in and out of town and just got around to sending them another email the other day and got a response saying i had to deal with satisfaction@dealfind.com. I sent an email to them two days ago so will have to wait to what they have to say. From what i am reading i think i’ll probably have to mark this up to experience and accept the fact that there will be no refund.
I just spoke to someone at dealfind and they said that Fabuless have said they are not shipping any of the tablets out. The told me how to ask for my refund from them and to dispute the shipping charge to fabuless with my credit card company which I have done.
Lets see what happens.
Do Not Use Fabuless–It is a scam company!!
I just received the same email saying I would not be receiving the tablet and I am taking the refund on my credit card. I spent a lot of time sending emails and phoning Fabuless and they told me it was shipped, then there was a hold up the Canada post, then she was going to highlight my order in yellow because I told her I was going away soon and tablet was a gift (where is all true) but then I get the email saying I was not receiving the tablet. Let’s see how long before I see the refund on my credit card.
we have had the same issue that others have described on getting their product
but now we get an email stating we will not be getting the product.. This is a complete outrage!!! 3 effing months we waited to get an email.. talk about a money investing scam.. we will never use Dealfind.com again
I just received the same e-mail from deal find to call them and I can get my $85 back or take $105 in “dealfind Dollars”. I’m so disappointed with deal find right now, I’ll take my $85 back. I think everyone who did receive one should now be able to return it for their money back.
JUST RECIEVED THIS: If you want a refund read below.

I also was a sucker to this scam. My family bought 3 of the android 2.3 tablets, all of which we have never received.
Of course DealFind said they were covering the $11 fee and my credit card was charged the $33 for the S&H. I have been contacting FabuLESS products with no response since Feb. After hearing nothing, a friend of mine who also ordered contacted DealFind on March 5. The customer service agent she spoke to was completely ignorant and told her that we hadn’t heard anything because we redeemed our vouchers “incorrectly”. We followed EXACTLY what our original vouchers said. Apparently after sending them out, DealFind decided that to redeem your vouchers you did NOT go through FabuLESS products and instead redeemed through the DealFind website. We re-redeemed our vouchers on March 5th and have still heard nothing, all the while I have been contacting FabuLESS to refund my $33 for S&H.
After finding this website I have contacted DealFind for a refund. I don’t care if it’s past my 30 days of purchase, I will fight this one until the end.
Wish I had seen this website earlier.
I’d also LOVE to be included in the class action suit.
I will NEVER EVER purchase anything from either of these websites again.
I purchased the Android 2.3 tablet on January 28th and never received it. Include me in the class action suit. Both Dealfind and Fabuless are guilty of wire fraud at the very least.
Can anyone help me?
I called visa and they asked me to return the tablet.
Is it

or
Fabuless Products

You can get your $11 back either by filing a complaint with Paypal within 30 days otherwise call your credit card company. PayPal wouldn’t do anything as it was past 30 days but my credit card company did a charge back right away without even asking any questions.I think the credit card companies know about Fabuless.
I had to email Dealfind and call Dealfind numerous times. Each time getting a different reply from the Dealfind agent on returning the tablet to Fabuless in order to get a refund. I asked Dealfind how am I able to return the tablet went Fabuless won’t answer their phone and won’t to emails. Finally I got a helpful Dealfind agent who spoke to her supervisor and told me to email her a video clip showing the problem with the tablet and she would process my refund. I emailed her the video clip showing the defective tablet and she processed my refund within 5 days. She didn’t even require that I return the tablet to Fabuless. Both Dealfind and Fabuless are total scammers. I had previously purchased the memory card from them and never got it. Only after numerous phone calls did the refund me the money. I also purchased a car detailing and car wash from them only to find out the merchant no longer honored their vouchers as Dealfind did not pay the merchant their share of the sales. I will never buy from Dealfind again. I advise to everybody that are still trying to get their refund is keep calling Dealfind until they refund your money. It paid off for me. Good luck
Fabuless products is a scam! Do not buy anything though them or any company who does buisness with them(swamscam/swarmjam exc.) Boycott the less than Fabuless Products company and their employee’s! Dont forget to file a complaint with the Ontario BBB and The squeekywheel.com. Both site are user friendly unlike fabuless products. Thanks for reading and I hope to have saved you money and a giant headache. Ken N. Calgary Ab
First and last time buying on that website. The 2 tablets
are not working proprely (it look like a toy). The battery last 10 minutes for one and the other one a 1 hour!
Also they charged me for 4 tablets.
They hold me 170$. I spoke to some agents and all what they do it’s to refer me to a e-mail adress. They anwser saying that they receive my e-mail and they have a large amount of request to process…It is all bullshit but I want my money back. We have to continue calling and sending them e-mail until we get what it should be ours.
GOOD LUCK!
Well, I see I am not alone. I currently have a complaint in with BBB. This is the second time I’ve gotten notice from Canada Post saying the item is on its way. I have yet to see anything (since the order in January. If you’re thinking scam, think about it. The supplier claims to send something out via post; it goes missing, Canada Post issues a refund to the supplier. Was the product ever sent?! not sure. I’m still awaiting resolution. Someone’s getting rich off this!
Here is their address: 1036 – 15 Iceboat Terrace, Toronto, ON M5V 4A5
DEAR CANADIANS! I am imploring you, DO NOT buy anything from FABULESS PRODUCTS! Their products are arriving from China and the quality of it is not worth a wooden nickle…
I recently purchased an Android Tablet from them thru Dealfind on a so-called ‘promotion’… Upon placing my order, I paid using my Credit Card, and waited for 2.5 months for it to arrive. When I contacted Dealfind and FabuLESSProducts, they said that the shipment had not yet arrived and will be shipped out to buyers accordingly.
Finally in mid-Feb, the item arrived, DEAD ON ARRIVAL! I contacted FabuLESSproducts and informed them of the issues, got the run around from them. They said to charge them item, and refused to reply to my phone calls, emails.
Finally Dealfind advised me to send the item back (after I threatened them with a lawsuit for improper practice) and said to mail the device back to FabuLESSproducts via Registered Mail.
A couple of weeks later, someone from FabuLESSproducts emailed me and advised me there was nothing wrong with the device. I have obtained video/pictures of the problems with the device and they accuse me that I was exaggerating.
Anyways, I requested a full refund of $85 for the device + $11 for the handling and $13 for the registered shipping, however the individual said we will only refund your $85. Tough luck they said!
So, beware, do not BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS company.
If you have purchased anything recently, or are awaiting for your item to arrive, CANCEL IT NOW!
You will receive a lemon!
Their business is scam.
I got the “deal” of the google android and I have not gotten my android yet, and asked for a refund and I have not gotten my money back yet.
They, at dealfinder, don’t even talk to you on the phone for this now. You can only do it by filling an online form.
I want my money back and in dela finder they will only give me the money back for the android but not for the processing fee that i paid at fabuless.
The last time i’ve called dealfind was Mar 20, the CS has told me that there is no record of my order being shipped. So I asked for a refund and she said it will take 24 hrs to process. She instructed me to email the three vouchers number, and i did (dealfind support ref:_00D60Iqu4._50060HlJXn:ref). However, the money is not refund and i got no response from dealfind.

“I wish more people would stop rolling over getting angry. Fight back!”
It’s not a matter of just rolling over a getting angry. It’s a matter of expense. No one is going to spend more of their hard earned money and/or countless hours of their time just for the satisfaction of getting a $85 refund, or an item worth more than that amount. Most people will simply chalk this unfortunate incident up to experience and move on. Life is far too short to spend it bickering over a mere $85.
