"NEVER ORDER FROM THIS SITE! I PLACED AN ORDER OVER A YEAR AGO, AND STILL HAVENT GOTTEN IT. I tried to email them 20 times and still no response, except for an email requesting my social and drivers license. IT IS A SCAM!
Edit: Amazingly, I finally got a reply from them. Even more amazing, I get an email from WorldPay 2 seconds earlier saying that they are refunding my $65.10! The only thing I could think of that did it is the mass amount of emails I sent to them. Here are the addresses I used:
****@****
****@****
****@****
I hope each and every one of you that got gypped will have as much success as I do.
PS: It was 12:30 EST when I sent the message. So that being said it was ~1:30 PM in Hong Kong. So maybe the time had something to do with it also."
"Should never order anything that may be out of stock.
I ordered 4 items, 2 of them was out of stock at the time. I kept on waiting, hoping that it'll be in stock.
Only problem is, not only did the 2 items stay out of stock, the other 2 gone out of stock too.
During all that while, I contacted them a couple of times via the contact form, no response.
Once I found out that everything is gone (even from their list of items), I contacted them again, asking them to refund my money.
It's been over a week since, still no response.
Actually, they do "respond"... via that automatic reply saying they got the message. That's all you'll ever hear from them. I've sent them a message 4 or 5 times, and every time they just repeat what you send, never answering it.
When I paid with my card, the payee shows up as success-hk. superufo.com also have the same payee, but at least they contacted me when there's an issue with the order (when they were checking my shipping address). The tranaction from superufo.com was fine, but not linker4u. Linker4u will not respond. There is no other contact method, not by mail, not by phone, not by fax, nothing.
Good luck if you ever get trapped. It doesn't matter how much money you paid, or how many items. If any 1 item gets out of stock, you LOSE THE ENTIRE ORDER! It won't even reach the shipping step.
By the way, I've waited for OVER A YEAR! The status on the order is still "Received and to be Processing".
If you're willing to risk it, order items 1 at a time, wait til they deliver, then continue if you want more. You'll regret it if you don't.
Also, they don't update the site well. They just update the front part of the site with the newest items. Check it out. Register for an account, but don't buy anything. Go to the order tracking, and you'll see a 2007 calendar. The order tracking page, if you're not registered, will be a 2009 calendar! I'm wondering if they intentionally just updated only the front page to trap you.
I don't know if I can call this a scam. But maybe having another related site that actually ships as promised, but not shipping themselves, is a kind of a trick. Or maybe they won't send anything if the order is over $100 US, since they got enough out of you.
Don't judge whether ordering from a site is good, even if the payee is the same as another site that is good.
Maybe you'll be lucky if you order a single cheap "current" item that they can immediately send."
"I CANT RECEIVE ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATION FROM THE LINKER 4 U
IT IS VERY AFRAID ME. "
"VERY satisfied. I ordered a Wiikey last friday (Jan 25th, 2008) and received it yesterday (monday, Jan 28th). Both good prices and extreamly fast shipping. Had access to my Fedex shiping number the day after it shipped. THANKS guys!!"
"I ordered in March. About a month later, and after some email-hounding, I got 2 responses from 2 seperate e-mail addresses. One said that I paid but didn't specify my order. The other said I ordered but I need to give proof that I paid. I used diff emails on the ordering account and paypal account but i CLEARLY specified the order# with the paypal payment. They can't put 2 and 2 together?! Well, it's been over a month now, and I haven't gotten anything yet. They've usually taken a week to reply to my e-mails (or not at all) so I'm either going to get it really really late (more than 6 weeks after ordering) or not at all..."
"I am from New York City. I made a purchase on Feb 25, was shipped on monday feb 28 and I received it in 2 days on wed march 2, works great and is fine.
Tracking information was correct and worked fine.. Thanks Linker4U......"
"I live in Florida.
I made this order on 7 Feb 2005 (monday) 06:45 Hong Kong local time.
I payed 2 linkers and payed the fast shipping (Fedex-UPS) 2-3days. (230 bucks)
They gave me a fake Fedex number (the tracking website of Fedex doesn't find the Fedex code.
It's been 10 days and I didn't receive neither the stuff nor any kind of information. I send them 3emails. None of them has received a reply.
They are fast to take your money.
I hope they are slow to send your merchandise, but I really think I lost my money.
Learn from the mistakes of others:
If you wanna have your money stolen, keep it in your country, don't send to Hong Kong."
"This company is a scam.Same deal they wanted proof of id,bank statement ETC.And refuse to ship items, they make the site look very legit.but the truth is they have a list of complaints a mile long from the consumer fraud bureau .BE warned, Do not to deal with this company.I also have canceled the card used to place the order.. "
"They are simply dishonest!!!
I've order 3x Swap Magic 3.3 PAL + 3x Slide Card PS2 and what I get was 3x HDAdvance 2.0 USA, so I'm trying to contact them since 18th January and they don't answer.... I consulted some forums and many people says the same thing: they ignore all claims...

"all right now, they have send the item,
they don't answer to mel, but they are serious,
thanks

"I ordered two items from linker4U. I received one item via fedex immediately. Problem is the shipping document stated both items mailed. I've emailed the company via their website and via my own email using "****@****". No response received from either email. Submitted a merchandise dispute to PayPal but they cannot help since company is non-U.S. Money has been charged to my credit card but rest of shipment is missing. I'll go to credit card company to dispute. Don't recommend sending money to "ghost" company.
SHOP ELSEWHERE!"
"First time bought stuff from them. I wasn't really sure if they're good since they're based in HongKong ==> diffifult to resolve problem. So I had to used credit card just in case. Got email a day later, saying that my card is on "high alert" of fraud and required me to fax them driver license. Of course I'm not gonna give someone in HongKong my information, so I refused but email them saying just cancel my order if you think it's a fraud.
They didn't reply at all, so I thought they cancelled my order, but to find out my credit card got charge a week later. And the item arrived a week later (total 2 weeks of delivery time). Item work great exactly what they claimed to. The item I bought was $140, it's CHEAPER than all of the U.S websites that has a similar item a wooping $50.
Overall, poor customer service, great product and price. I'd rated this company 8/10."
"Extremely fast shipping, especially considering it was an overseas order. I had my order in a week. Some compatibility issues with one piece of hardware, but no return policy. The rest of the equipment worked fine."
"18-10-2004: Ordered a flash card. Linker4u shipped it immediately, but my local post office didn't deliver, so it was sent back to HK one month later. In between, I tried to contact L4U about thirty times, they replied only once saying the card was shipped. After the card was returned to L4U I had to pay the shipment costs again (fair) and within three days the card was delivered.
End of the story: they're genuine and fair, but they don't reply to emails. If you have any problems or questions, don't expect them to be helpful. But, they contacted me after the card was returned, so finally I'm satisfied."
"Ordered a XG2 turbo linker on 17 Aug-2004 from www.linker4u.com
Money transaction was ok...and the day after my order said "shipped" at www.linker4u.com `s site.
The tracking no. leads to something that was delivered on the 16-Aug...?? (my card was not ordered untill the 17-Aug.).
Danish postalservices never recieved any information on the order (tracking no.)....now its the 3-Sept.....I havent recieved anything....have sent 4 mails to linker4u.com.....never recieved any answers.
So I guess this compagny takes your money, but don`t deliver your order.
I will NOT reccomend this compagny to anyone, unless they want to loose their money.
