**********.com - Buyer Beware iMito QX1

Hi There,

I hope this isn't really poor forum etiquette, as I've already posted this in XDA, but I'd really like to share my experience to prevent others from going through the same.

I'd like to share my experience buying an iMito QX1 from **********.com - not for the sake of flaming, but really to help fellow community members avoid lost money and unnecessary heartache.

I purchased the item in June - and have yet to see a refund for a defective product.

It took forever to arrive - and upon arrival was basically DOA. It worked very briefly, in which time I couldn't find sufficient information online to try and flash the new firmware to get it to work properly (the ********** forum information is very minimal, to say the least, and the response rate is very slow), and upon pulling out to try and refresh and reconnect, it stopped working entirely. I connected it to numerous tvs and devices, to no avail - signal has been lost.

This is a known issue that many people have posted about - and **********.com have completely ignored. See these threads:

After reaching out to ********** and explaining everything - and everything we tried technically - they initially were willing (supposedly) to provide a refund or alternate device (we asked for a refund), and asked us to fill out forms that they never provided us with, and since then have been stalling, evading, and unhelpful.

Below is the chat I had with their operator today, where they once again have evaded and chosen to be unhelpful:

Please wait for a site operator to respond...

I want you to give me all the details on how and where to send it back and when I will see my refund
10:57:50 AM
Why are you not answering?!
10:58:10 AM
I cant spend my whole day here and you never reply to emails. This is the worst customer service ever.
10:58:51 AM
Listen we have done everything we have been told and the item doesn't work.
10:59:00 AM
I will be sure to post about this in all of the forums that I've been a member of

11:00:18 AM
I want to know now what you will do
11:00:40 AM
last email I sent you was a week ago and you still did not reply!!!
11:00:54 AM

11:01:25 AM
I just want to send it back, get my money back and forget about this whole thing.

I am sharing my experience, in order to ensure others don't go through the same, and to share my experience purchasing the iMito QX1 - which on paper is supposed to be an awesome device, but falls short in execution.

Good luck.
 
I'm not sure why your post shows "**********.com", but contact your credit card company and explain what happened. You were sold a defective item and the retailer is basically refusing to correct the issue. The CC company should reverse the charges.
 
I imagine that it's a site that's blocked by AF's filter - which is telling in itself.

10 asterisks as well... I can guess who that is. :rolleyes:

A short introduction to customer service in China, for the benefit of @shar1z the OP...
