510 thoughts on “Overpriced Android Tablet on DealFind from Fabuless Products”

1. Found this site too late! – bought the android 2.3 tablet at close of deal – no delivery after 1 month -emails initially ignored- called “service” on phone & was told tablet “may” be shipped mid March – I said this was unacceptable & demanded a refund to my credit card.
   Email received saying I would get “Dealfind Dollars”- I wrote back saying I would not accept & I require a refund in full to my credit card
   This was my first- and last!- experience with Dealfind
   Ah well – live & learn!

2. Hello everyone. For those of you who paid with a credit card, you can bring this up with your bank by calling the number on the back of your card, Dispute the charges. Visa/Master card has a protection policy for these exact instances. I bought the dealfind on Dec. 26th too and now I called my bank and told them about this information they refunded my money and will Dispute it with Dealfind. Literally taking the money back.

3. ugh, it’s kind of crappy all the people on here who got their money back. Well, crappy for me lol. Wonderful for you guys. I keep trying and keep getting shut down, I even emailed dealfind the link with the president promising refunds and they said I don’t qualify because mine isn’t defective (I argue that it is) and I’m past 14 days (wth I’ve been emailing them since the day I got it). Dealfind will no longer respond to my emails. Credit card dispute didn’t work for me, BBB closed my case as unresolved…I’m pretty bummed and thinking I’ll be giving up the fight soon.

4. It’s been 2 months today since I purchased my 7 inch 2.2 Android tablet and still nothing.
   Made a complaint with the BBB and they opened a file on Fabuless Products. I wasn’t suprised when I noticed I wasn’t the first one to file against this shady company.
   Made a claim to PayPal for the shipping fees and they refunded my money. Just got an email from Dealfind and they will credit my Visa. Yahoo!
   So, all in all, this is a valuable lesson for me in dealing with Fabu-Crap, as everybody seems to be calling them.

   BEWARE of FabuLESS Products………

5. I have been waiting patiently for my 2.3 Android tablet from Dealfiend and just send an e-mail to Fabuless shipping this morning asking when can i expect the product.
   U just stumbled into this site right now when I Googled about this deal.
   Based on the hundreds of posts, I am screwed, it I get the tablet, it is crap and if not there goes my $85 .
   Too bad, I had up to this time had good dealings with these folks, well good bye !

6. First of all I rarely have time to complain about any company however FabuCrap is one of the worst companies I have dealt with. I mean I have tried contacting several times and states that their voice mail is “full”.( Yes indeed, full of complaints) then hangs up. I mean what kind of customer service is this? I havent received the product nor heard from anyone, Dealfind only knew how to charge my card and profit from it. When it comes to refund they give you this big speech of how you have to go online and write to them. Really? I personally think its just easier to dispute it with my credit card company and they can deal with them directly. I mean come on! My friend got hers and informed me that it is a PIECE OF SHIT, made in China. This company is a SCAM! HONESTLY STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7. i just went out and purchased the blackberry plabook for $224 after taxes and it is amazing! everyone should get one of them if you still want a tablet. i still have both my tablets that i ordered off dealfind and am still trying for my return!

8. I also purchased the tablet in Dec – received it in Feb without case etc. I did get a refund from Dealfind once I sent it back to Fabuless and could give Dealfind a tracking number. At first both companies said they would not process a refund, but I persisted in repeating that I wanted a refund, as the item was not as advertised. I recommend being persistent with your message – “I want my money back, the item is not as advertised”.

9. what should i do when ive contacted both dealfind and fabuless products and before my 30 days were up and now its past the 30 days and haven’t heard from them?
   I want to contact my credit card company but i dont know what to see or what I would be able to show them that ive tried because the emails were through their sites not from my personal email.
   any help/advice would be great! thanks

10. to Christina, did you send the video link to Dealfind? I am pretty sure you could get your money back by sending them the link. Good luck.

    Here is my update. Paypal is willing to pay my money back too. Hope everyone could be the same as me.

11. Like everyone else, I purchased the tablet and received an email from Fabuless stating it will be shipped on February 13th. They also stated Canada Post advised them not to give out tracking numbers to shipments going across the border. I called Canada Post and they told me they would never say that…I purchased the product I am entitled to the tracking number. Still no product, still no refund. I have made so many phone calls to both Fabuless and DealFind…most of the time having to leave messages or being told….give it another to arrive. Well, weeks have gone by and I still don’t have the product. At this point, I don’t want the product, I just want my money back.

12. Same problem with Fabuless products. I got scammed with this tablet and haven’t even received it yet. They won’t even answer their phone. (March 1) I was to receive the tablet this week but haven’t heard a word from them. Have left e-mails but still haven’t heard a word. Won’t buy from them again.

13. Just thought I’d give an update on my Dealfind ordeal! Rather than reading above I’ll do a quick rundown…Ordered my tablet with the first deal in December. Got tablet over a month later, without the accessories originally included in the deal. I’ve since filed a complaint with Visa..no help there. Email Fabuless..no help. Emailed and phoned Dealfind on a regular basis..no help either. Filed a complaint with the BBB, what a waste of time! Just finished that whole process and the status is closed, unresolved. So basically I am hooped :(

14. Finally got my refund from Dealfind. Hope I could get good news from paypal as well.

15. just found out that Dealfind has refunded my credit card. (and Paypal refunded me awhile ago!) Chalk this one down to edumacation (as Homer would say…) Thanks for all your amazing suggestions folks!

16. I have received a full refund from Dealfind. Much faster than the 5-10 business days previously stated in the company’s email.

    This is one customer who is greatly relieved.

    Lesson learned…when a deal appears too good to be true, stay away from it. :)

    Wishing everyone a positive outcome with their ordeal.

17. Regarding TC’s Link: wow!

    oh. my. gosh.

    those poor souls.

    the site says no refunds (red flag!), it is shipped from China (red flag!), and you have to pay tax/duty on it to receive it, they admit on the site (red flagggggs everywhere!!) Too many red flags to see the field here, ladies and gentlemen.

18. My credit card was finally credited (I’ve just got spooked and cancel before redeeming the January deal).

    Did you guys notice the deal on Teambuy…? I’ll pass!

19. Sue:
    Below is my email to Dealfind including the links to this site and the one provided by ‘Ugh’.

    “It doesn’t seem to be a good tracking number.
    Several of your customers seem to be having the same negative experience dealing with FabuLESS.

20. Dealfind and WagJag are selling
    Ultra Vibe V2000 Portable Massager Vibrating Body Massage
    For $ 389, and $ 399.

21. Re Deceived1:
    Are you referring to my post? If not pls ignore, if so I’m not berating people as I’ve been scammed in past myself, I’m referring to the a couple of people close to end of this page asking how to get refunds and it has been explained by many, and the various ways to go about it depending on their own individual situation. Trueler also posted informing people of the media link and reminder to advise Dealfind of the promise President made on refunds.
    I’m glad to hear they are refunding you, curious as to whether you had mentioned the Presidents promise?

22. Update:
    Received an email from Dealfind a few minutes ago stating that a refund to my credit card has been processed.
    I should receive it in 5-10 days.

    Thanks for this informational site Trueler.

    To the few on here who takes this opportunity to berate people for being scammed…not nice.

23. This post has nothing to do with the tablets but more BS from Dealfind. They are offering a product to convert VHS to DVD and when you read the comments on Deal talk, you hear that yet again, they are misrepresenting a product by putting on info that is from a newer version in which is not even being offered for that deal. They are advertising a 58% reduction on the price but in fact it’s being sold at Staples for the same price as the deal. I think back to the media clip stating that Dealfind will make sure moving forward, on the accuracy of the % you are saving on the product being offered, here’s to prove nothing has changed or ever will. The only reason I even still get the daily emails is due to the fact I have a credit in Dealfind dollars from 6 months ago that I still need to use but exercise much caution before wasting more money, otherwise I would opt to never receive another email from them again.
    On a different note and warning to consumers,
    Teambuy is advertising a deal(AGAIN) from Kootney MediSpa a company which has gone bad several times in the past. They sold deals previously on Dealfind and Teambuy which ended up with the purchasers getting refunds from those company’s due to them not accepting vouchers anymore and locations disappearing in the middle of the night. Yet, Teambuy is offering this deal again from the company and all the questions made on there deal talk have been negative, specifically asking why they would offer “these deals” again from a unreputable, shady company when they just received refunds from the previous deal! If this doesn’t show you how bad these Dealsites Company’s are nothing will!

24. Hi, first of all I amazed at the people that still order these tablets hoping for a great product and report on this website! With all the info on here why would you even bother posting a “I’m hoping I get a great tablet”?
    Secondly the repetitive questions regarding refunds from either product or shipping has been explained numerous times so people do your research and look back on posts for this info instead of being lazy.
    Thirdly, listen to the media link on here and call Dealfind and request refund reminding them of statement made by President of the company!

25. Dealfind will look into my second order which I cancelled soon after I received the piece of junk from my December order. Apparently they need 48 hours to confirm with Fabucrap that I didn’t redeem the voucher.

    I filed a formal complaint with the BBB and Canadian Competition Bureau since Fabuless is not cooperating. Mine smells smokey when I plug it in (safety issue), no manuf/order no. on package, device or manual.

    By the way, their voice mailbox is full. I hope the media tar and feather these scammers. I’d like to know what CSA has to say about this unsafe product.

26. Got email from fabuless today tlling me my deal was refunded. No sign of my 11bucks they charged me yet. Got my 85 back from dealfind last week. Never again.

27. FYI – I’ve been in contact with Ellen Roseman at the Toronto Star. She is an amazing consumer advocate, and said she will look into it. I also sent an email to Darcy.Wintonyk@bellmedia.ca at CTV, but have not heard back from him.

    Also, Dealfind told me today that I cannot drop the tablet at their office, nor at the condo (where Andrew Ferria USED to live, and where we have to mail the paperweight), because they require a Tracking code from Canada Post to prove we sent the unit back. They told me WHEN they get the code, they will issue a refund.

28. I just received another 2.2 tablet in the mail today and I only ordered one. Do I tell fabuless about it? I kept the first one because I didn’t want to pay to ship it back but I don’t use it because it is terrible. I do want to get my money back from it so I think I will return it.

29. This is the answer I received today in response to my request for a refund.

    Of course, the tracking number is bogus.

    “Thank you for your email.

    I have the following Tracking # for you:

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

30. i just purchased the google android 2.3 feb/5th/12 waiting for the 21 days and yes the deal is on again. shippings included.there was no case or headphones i really hope i’m not being scammed i’m buying this for my grandaughter she will be so disapointed and i will be really pissed

31. Thanks ugh for link!

    Everyone who purchased this deal and want money back, please ask DealFind for a full refund and refer to Gary Lipovetsky’s promise:

    From here http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/consumer&id=8548792

    “The president of Deal Find also promises that any customers who want a full refund will get it”.

    Thanks,
    Trueler

32. chris, maybe refer them to the abc article where “The president of Deal Find also promises that any customers who want a full refund will get it.”

    the article goes on to say “And in fact, we’ve sent him a list of our viewers who want their money back and Gary Lipovetsky has put his customer service manager on the case to expedite their refunds.”

    i was hoping local media up here would do the same and but so far i don’t think any have.

33. wow, came across this this afternoon

35. Hi Jo-Anne, thank you for your information. I will do it once the help center is available.

    Here is a reply from Dealfind, which makes me even more angry because they don’t want to give my money back!

    Hi Chris,

    Thank you for the email.

    We do our best to help with refunds. Dealfind offers a complete refund for up to 30 days after your purchase, as long as the vouchers are not used.

    We would like to offer you the option of receiving Dealfind Dollars for the price you paid for your voucher(s).

    Once the Dealfind Dollars are applied to your Dealfind account, they are available for use immediately. Dealfind Dollars never expire and can be used towards any of our great deals!

    Please provide us with the email address for your Dealfind account as well as the voucher numbers so that we can apply your Dealfind Dollars promptly.

36. Wow. I am so thankful I found this site. Seems I am in the same situation as everyone else. I still have not received my product either. I ordered two tablets for my kids. After repeated attempts to contact fabuless products by phone, the recording suggested I send an email as I would receive a quicker response. I have now sent two emails to which I have received a general “thank you for your inquiry” and “please expect 72 hours for a personal response.” Indicated at the bottom of the message is “please allow an 7-21 business days for order to arrive.” Still nothing. I am hesitant to contact dealfind as my 30 day period to receive a refund has expired so I called my credit card company to dispute the charge instead. My next step is to contact the BBB and file a complaint.
    Thank you Trueler

37. On January 6th, I purchased a 7 inch Google tablet and sent a request to have my product shipped via Priority Post as I was leaving for a one month vacation and they refused. I was assured that I would have received my product before I left and that never happened. It has been now 6 weeks since my purchase and still nothing. I have tried contacting them via email and phone, they will not return my calls or emails. Though they did not mention an extra fee for shipping when the item was purchased, I had to pay an $11.00 and I paid with my Visa card. Related or not and while away on vacation, the card used to pay for the shipping costs was copied and purchases were made. Luckily, my bank caught these unauthorized transactions and cancelled my card. My bank also refunded me for those purchases.
    I now have put in a request with Dealfind for a full refund.
    In my opinion, I would be very cautious in dealing with this company, fabuLESS Products. I cannot even locate them on Google Maps or Bing Maps. Beware of this company

38. My refund for $85 hit my amex on the 17th. Now i just need to get my $11 back from paypal. Spent $199 on a playbook and happy with the purchase. Fingers crossed for the os2 upgrade on the 21st so i can get some android apps! Thanks Trueler for this, if i hadn’t come across this webpage i’d still be running o the mailbox every day after work to see if my touchpad had finally arrived.

39. I am so thankful to this website and all the people! If not you I would be still waiting for this scam!
    I’ve already requested the refund, I called Dealfind, and they promised to get back to me in 2 days, and they did. Now I am waiting for money appear on my visa.
    I also started dispute with paypal.

    Thank you Trueler!

40. Hi Chris, go to Pay Pal website and click on dispute tab. Then proceed to file a dispute and at the same time escalate the dispute if you have already made attempts to resolve the issue with the merchant. Which I am sure you have like the rest of us.

    For an update I have still had no reply from Dealfind since Feb.13 regarding the second voucher that was not refunded, even though they said they would. I have received the credit to my credit card for the one voucher they said I would see in 5-10 business days. They just seem to want to ignore the second voucher.

    I will definitely stay on their case daily. The amount of time and the stress on this fiasco is unbelievable.

    I do believe that group buys are a good and viable idea. There just has to be a way of weeding out the scammers. First and foremost the actual company offering the deal (Dealfind, Groupon, Swarmjam) have to be reputable and do their job in investigating the companies they are dealing with. Until the consumer can be protected from their negligence and they be held accountable, I think it best to stay completely clear of the so called great deals.

    I for one have learnt my lesson and will not be a part of another one. At least till there are some actual guarantees. Not just empty promises.

41. oopss.. sorry I meant “TRUELER”…:0 not dealfind! This site was a money saver!

42. Wow, my ordeal has come to an end! Thank you Dealfind for this wonderful place to vent and get information from others in the same boat. I would still be waiting for “nothing” if it wasn’t for this site! I just received this email from paypal, which was the final credit back to me.

    We have concluded our investigation into your case and have decided in your favor. We were able to recover $xx.xx CAD and this amount has been credited to you. Please allow five business days for this adjustment to be posted. If you are due any additional funds, we will make our best effort torecover the balance from the seller. If the seller’s account has insufficient funds to complete the refund owed to you, please be assured that we will take appropriate action against the seller’s account, which may include limitation of the seller’s account privileges.

43. I ran across this thread trying to find out info on an order thru Dealfind. I purchased a $209 voucher for a Vizio VTAB1008 back on 12/04 and redeemed it on 12/11 at Cooldroids. Cooldroids charged an additional 29.95 for shipping. I’m still waiting, Dealfind has been my intermediary and has contacted Cooldroids several times on my behalf, as they would not respond.

    Today I actually chatted online with someone at Cooldroids and they indicated the tablet is still on backorder and they have no idea when it will ship. Cooldroids said if I don’t want to wait I can get a store credit from them for the $29.95 shipping that I paid and I would need to get the $209 refunded from Dealfinds. Unfortunately I paid off and closed the credit card used to pay for both shipping and the tablet, so I don’t believe either company will send a refund, only a store credit. I realy don’t want to restart the process either.

    Is there a number I can call to reach Andrew since he is apparently the same person at FabuLess and may be able to give me more info than I can get thru online chat? I would prefer to get the Vizio Tablet, but I would like to know if it is really on backorder or if they are pulling my chain.

44. Oh and also, when I asked about their location the customer service rep said that they were in Toronto at 15 Ice Boat Terrace, and than when I addressed the concerns that people have and how customers have tried to go to the location above and return the product there is no actual FabuLess business there and nothing but stacks of returns from unhappy customers. She than said “well we’re an internet based company so we don’t have an office”.

    I was like “you just gave me your address?????” She babbled on and on and I just gave up on the issue because I knew I wasn’t going to get any where with this chick.

45. Hello,

    I have spoken to both DealFind AND FabuLESS products about this Deal in question. Neither of them seem to be on the same page with exactly what the deal entails.

    Dealfind claims that it is a Google Android 2.3 7″ tablet which has HD.

    FabuLess claims that the product is manufactured in CHINA and is a china based tablet that they are “trying” to cater to fit the North America Market. What this means is that this is NOT a tablet supported by the actual Android Market. What it is, is a knock off tablet which supports the Operating System of GOOGLE. I asked them why they didnt just advertise it as a Blackberry Playbook because it could pull up http://www.blackberry.com or RIM webpages.

    When I contacted FabuLess I spoke to a customer service sales representative who knew nothing about the product and I demanded to talk to this Andrew Ferriera character. To my surprise, I actually spoke with him..If you want to talk to one person there it would be him. He said that IF there are technical problems with the WIFI that the product should be sent back for a properly functioning product, because “a tablet without internet is like a car without wheels.” Those were his exact words.

    For the people who purchased the product on or before February 5th, he said that they are being shipped out on Thursday, Feb 23rd. Although they claimed that they would be received within the 15-21 days. (not specifying business days or not) of course he claims that to be business days.

    But get this!!!! Try checking out their website right now, its unable to be opened. They say that they’re updating their “security features” to make for a safer shopping experience for their customers. You’d think that they would have done this BEFORE offering a product to thousands of people.

    Either way, for all the people who have ordered this product; your are NOT getting HD, your getting an HD adaptor with USB connector on one side and HMDI port on the other, you are supposed to be getting a tablet WITH WIFI. You are NOT getting anything supported or endorsed by the ANDROID MARKET. This is a probably crappy Chinese tablet. Hopefully someone has contacted Google or Android to inform them their name is being advertised on a falsified product.

    DO NOT SHOP AT DEALFIND ANY LONGER!!!

46. It appears that I too was scammed on the deal bellow:
    “Ordered On 1-Jan-2012 at 10:16am you placed an order for 1 voucher to Fabuless Products ($164 for a 7inch HD Google Android 2.3 Tablet with Up to 5hr Active Battery Life Including Shipping and Tax from Fabuless Products ($450 Value)). Your order is stored in our database as Order #xxxxxxxx. We have processed your order successfully, thank you very much!”

    FabuLESS promise of 7-15 days shipping turned into 48 days wait thus far.

    I wrote an email to Dealfind today requesting a refund.

    Stay tuned…

47. I was refunded last Friday to my credit card. My paypal dispute had a date of yesterday for Fabuless to respond, so if I don’t hear I will try to contact paypal by phone as I have a credit for the purchase so it’s a no brainer that Fabuless will not be shipping anything.

    As mentioned above, AMY at Dealfind fixed things for me and I posted a different number above that got me right through. When I got the email about a refund in 5 days it was only 2 days for it to show up as a credit on my statement.

    Good luck everyone!

48. I think I am going to report my Visa company and tell them it’s a fraud. Hope they can do something for me.

49. Oh and also, the link for the fabuless site no longer works, so go figure. ugh.

50. I am so annoyed and mad that this dealfind site still exists. I’ve never been scammed til now and a little shocked to come across this site to see that unfortunately so many others have fallen into the same trap. I’ve been emailing the fabuless customer service since my purchase from the december 26 deal. It is now feb 17, so you can do the math. I just requested a refund on dealfind but I’m guessing it will be all for nothing. Damn these people, karma is a bitch~
