    Do not buy any GeekVape products because you risk having to deal with nonexistent customer service.

    In February, I ordered a Geekvape Z rta, which advertises great bottom feed. However, the rta didn’t come with a bottom feed pin, so I contacted customer support. No worries, the unit was under warranty and I would be sent a new one and I was issued a warranty claim number. A month later and I hadn't heard anything, so I called CS. It turns out that the original CS personnel neglected to give me the information on returning the original unit, which had to be shipped at my expense. I returned the RTA and wait two months, but nothing. In early June, tried calling, but the phone number is out of service. I briefly managed to get someone on live chat, before being disconnected, and was told that my claim would be processed by June 16. June 16 comes and I hear nothing. CS tells me that my claim has been processed and would be shipped in a week, but two weeks later, still nothing. Now phone is out of service and live chat no longer is working. Replies to my emails only say that they are checking into it. I'm now out the original RTA, the replacement, and the shipping costs.

    Investing literally Millions of $ in a company, designers, promotion, manufacturing etc, but doing so little on the customer care side is Inexplicable.:facepalm:
    How come the company board don't understand that all their efforts doesn't matter when the customer who needed help is being left without it when he asked for it.
    No matter how good and progressive are your products, if you don't provide quality CS, such situations will be ruining your reputation.:unsure:

    I'm not surprised at all. First they dropped all reviewers on ECF. Then the rep that manages this forum almost never responds to private messages. I was contacted by a marketing manager from Geekvape that was going to get myself and a couple other reviewers going again but now I haven't heard from her in about a month. To me these are all signs of a company that is falling apart at the seams. I have seen comments on FB also where other reviewers have not gotten review samples in about a year.

    Consider it an "investment".

    Good luck. :|

    p.s. I'm still looking forward to that 'million man march' on the FDA's front lawn…and their permanent ban. It would be an act of kindness.

    I don’t if my belly aching paid off or I just b*tched too soon. They emailed me to say that they were out of stock of the Z RDA but I could have something else from the Z series. Well I made my choice, but never heard back from them, until today when out of the blue it shows up in my mailbox. I guess they aren't so good at communicating, but in the end, they made it right.

    im so happy for you. Maybe I gave up too soon but they even charged me for the bag of accessories that had the bf pin. When I did finally get that delivered it was for the incorrect rda so that bf pin didn’t fit.

    after 3 months or so of this I just gave up. And like I said it turns out that it’s not such a great dripping vape after all so it wasn’t worth the energy.I’m sure there are many people on the Shiny thread who heard about all my Z RDA woes.

    I got a ZX IiI ready in black. It was the only thing that didn't require special coils. After posting my 2 cents, I too had given up. Today's vape mail really surprised me. I guess the moral of the story is to be a b*tch about it.

    i don’t suppose you could send me a bf pin? I had to pay for a bag of accessories and shipping only to find out they sent me accessories for a different rda. So I still can’t squonk with the Z. Customer service actually blamed me for ordering the wrong one lol!

    it hasn’t been a very positive situation with Geekvape in China.

    A better solution could start with you replying to pm’s and I would think you could help these people by contacting customer service to alert them to the issues. In years past Geekvape was the top brand in my opinion. Not so much the last year or two. It’s time for Geekvape to turn things around and make a comeback. That could start with you here. Speaking from personal experience, I sent you a pm three weeks ago and never received a response. If you want things to improve then start here with yourself. Just my 2 cents.
