Is 5econds a Scam? Review of the Online Store

The product I received from 5econds.com and 5econds.co was cheap, inferior and overpriced and is shipped directly from China. Their customer service is a disgrace and the worst I have ever encountered. They claim to have a return/refund policy, however, they will deliberately ignore your communications. And, when you request a refund, they will not tell you how or where to return the product, presumably back to CHINA at your own expense. They will then claim that you failed to return the product during the return period.

I purchased some sandals advertised for use with Bunions. I used their sizing and ordered them. They took 2 months to arrive and then were scratched fans had glue on them. They also didn’t fit. My feet would not go into them as they were really narrow. Anyone with bunions, even mild ones, have wider feet. I emailed straight away to say they were damaged and they just kept saying they weren’t. It took 2 months of repeated emails for them to agree they were damaged. I told them from the start that they didn’t fit either and I wanted a refund. At no point did they say send back the damaged ones for a refund. They told me they could only send out new ones and indicated that I could send them back for a refund. They have now sent new ones and said that they don’t do refunds on good goods. C**p service, waste of money, lying staff. Deception is not customer service. I have been appalled.

BAD COMPANY. I ordered 3 products on 7/20/2020. On 8/3/20 I sent an email asking for tracking numbers only to learn that 2 of my items HAD NOT YET BEEN SHIPPED. I sent several follow up emails. Finally received my items 50 days later. ALL ITEMS SHIP FROM CHINA. May have been related to COVID, but there was no warning of extended wait times on the website.

I also have same problem. I ordered at 6/3 and until now I still didn't receive package. The seller kept continue to mention this package is on the way. Already more than 2 and half months since I ordered. This package already lost it value to me. This is a liar company. Don't buy anything from this company or you will be cheated.

They are crooks. Took my money. Never received product. They refuse to refund. Scammers.

The lens I ordered has been in La Puente Ca. since June 10, and they will not send it on to me. At least that is what the tracking says. evidently it is a total rippoff.

5econds a scam company. Never received the sandals I ordered.

Stay away from them.

Jul. 13, 2020 at 7:43 PM by an anonymous user from: United States

I have been waiting a month for something I ordered. Luckily I used PayPal so I will probably have to file a claim. I wish YouTube wouldn't allow merchants like this to advertise on their platform.

Jun. 25, 2020 at 10:21 AM by an anonymous user from: Hesston, Kansas, United States

Same problem as everyone else, their customer support is the worst, their products even worse. It is all Chinese made trash. Stay far away from this scam company.

Jun. 22, 2020 at 5:19 PM by an anonymous user from: Sacramento, California, United States

I placed an order for a pair of sandals on May 4,2020 and started emailing Alex after a month of not recieving the package or tracking information. Since then, the response from alex@5econds has been that I should have more patience for the package arrival. The delivery was supposed to be 5-10 days so giving them a month was more than patient. Alex keeps responding to my emails that "the parcel is on the way". I only received tracking information after asking and then having to demand it. When I clicked on the link I was greeted with a message saying that my package was delayed for an "uncontrollable reason". It has now been almost two months, and I am ashamed to admit that I was SCAMMED!

PS, Alex is likely not a real person but a generic name given to all of their representatives to seem more personal.

This outfit should be put out of business! I had a similar experience-still unresolved. Just want a refund/cancelation!
