We placed an order on Feb 2018 for a hover board. I checked the delivery status one week later and it indicated the order had been delivered. But we never received this order! We called the customer service immediately and after numerous rounds of emails and calls within the following ten months, we still did not receive the order, nor did we get refunded!

HoverBoarder
March 26, 2017

This man stole money from 100's of kids at or around the Christmas season, including 200.00 from me for my daughter present. My bank will not refund the money. This man went as far to sell his condo and buy a new house on our dime. 2445 NW 31 CT OAKLAND PARK FL ******* Is now where he resides ripping people off. I found he has started and dissolved many business' since 2013 all ripping people off. He uses a fake virtual address to validate these business license. He was living right on the beach but I guess he decided to move when he was so easily tracked down. I have mailed him a letter requesting my money back to his new home he just purchased in January. If he doesn't refund me, then I will be making a police report.

I had the same experience that other reviewers did. Unfortunately I bought before seeing these reviews.

Did anyone ever get their money back?

I am talking to my credit card company, and they suggested sending details to the RCMP (in Canada), who will perhaps declare the product counterfeit or the transaction fraudulent, thereby allowing the card company to get my money back.

We'll see how this works out.

Any success stories out there?

DO NOT BUY
July 21, 2020

Do not buy from this company. They will charge your credit card the second you purchase something but will never ship it and will not communicate in any way about what is going on with your order. Be prepared to have your money stolen from you if you deal with this company

Fraud
January 17, 2018

Ordered hoverboard on 1-11-18. Advertise next day delivery. Was told I would receive an email to track delivery next day and did not. Called again on 1-17-18 and was told same thing but never received an email. Tried calling but only got a message.
Coworker looked up bad reviews and way too many people had horror stories so I contacted my bank who is now filing a fraud dispute. Did not want to wait to late and end up with no hoverboard or getting my money back

I purchased a bad out of the box off-road hoverboard. I tried to get an RMA for return and they avoid all emails and phone calls. I spoke with 2 people who said "someone would get back to me" with an RMA who never did. I emailed customer service 4 times requesting an RMA with no response. I'm disputing the charge with my Bank. I already purchased the same hoverboard from Amazon which is what I should have done in the first place. Don't purchase from them! Go to Amazon!

Do NOT purchase from this company. The hoverboard with minimal use only lasted 6 months. Just outside of warranty. In addition, their customer service is absolutely horrible. They do not answer the phone nor do they respond to emails, voicemails or live chat messages. This is not a COVID related issue it is an issue with an extremely poorly run company!

DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! We received the hoverboard for Christmas and it never worked. We've been trying to get in touch with them to replace it and no one responds. The email and chat online link don't work. There's no phone number in the US. We disputed the charge and they emailed us and said if we don't pay to send it back, they're sending us to collections. What kind of crap is that? So much for a warranty. So much for excellent customer service. They didn't even respond with a phone number to call them back. STAY AWAY... FAR FAR AWAY!

Charged card immediately. Said free shipping and sent day of order. My order(14 days later) still says "processing". So, it hasn't shipped. Can't get ahold of anyone. Was ordering for my 6 year olds birthday and it never came. Still trying to get ahold of ANYONE to cancel order. Going to have to deal with my cc company to try to get a refund. DO NOT BUY FROM HOVERBOARD. COM.

NO STARS!
December 13, 2016

Do not waste your time with them! I own a retail business and I can say they have NO customer service! None! Nada! Not sure if they even speak or read in an american language since the colors came wrong just like the rest of you. The shipping label was printed on 11/28 and didn't begin to travel until 12/8. Yes they charged my card right away also! My Grandson bought this with his own money what a lesson!

I ordered 2 boards on 11/10, called 20 times left numerous messages with no reply, sent a dozen emails and eventually got a generic response about delays in shipping. Got an email stating order was complete on 11/25 and I'd get tracking number 'shortly'... never got it. Called my bank and disputed charge and bank refunded my money today. Please call your bank to dispute charge otherwise you may never receive the hover board or if you do it will either be wrong color or worse yet not work. Then what? Wait another month to receive a replacement?

WHAT A RACKET!
December 8, 2016

Same experience as the others on the site regarding this company. I also Google Earth to see where this place is located. Lo and behold, it showed a residential neighborhood in a screwed up part of Miami. So be careful!

Fraud
December 12, 2016

I too placed an order on November 24, immediately had funds deducted from my account. After calling repetitively last week, a woman answered who was quite pleasant. She assured me I would get my product and did not understand why the fed ex shipping label had multiple tracking numbers attached. I have not received a new tracking number or new updated correspondence from them. I will be contacting my bank to file fraud charges. My son will be disappointed come Christmas morning

Of course this sounds like the rest of the posts. Ordered two on 12/7/16, and money was taken out on 12/8/16. I waited patiently for a tracking # or anything saying that they had shipped. I figured, its the holiday season so they are running behind. Not the case! Their website now says they are out of business due to Federal Regulations (these regs were passed in May 2016). They had no intentions of ever shipping anything. Complete scam to get peoples hard earned money and at Christmas time none the less. This is lower than low. I hope the folks at Hoverboarder.com realize how much of an impact this has on families and parents. Like many of you, I saved for months to get these (widowed mother of two), and will not be getting my money back. Christmas is certainly not ruined as we still have each other and our blessings but it will not include the boards I saved for. Hoverboarder. Com, I hope you are proud of yourselves.
