Antelife Reviews 

Abbiamo fatto un ordine in agosto pagando subito con carta di credito. Siamo a metà novembre e la giacca non è ancora arrivata. Nessuna risposta alle mail per chiarimenti.
SCONSIGLIATISSIMO.

I bought a FLY TORNADO SLIM 1 year ago and it didn't even last 4 months. I sent it back to China to repair November 2016. I have asked for updates on my phone but they never gave me any, they were always giving excuses, and now after almost threatening them they have told me that they've stopped the production of that model. Now the only solution they give me is to send me a USED phone after all the time I have been waiting. By the way, the warranty is useless, they never sent me a "replacement" phone as they said. I am so disappointed. Worst management ever. Never buy a phone on this site!

I received my AGM x1 today on time and in good condition. I want to thank you for remembering to change the color from black to blue. Your company is efficient and helpful. DHL was prompt and helpful. Thank you for your excellent service,

hello i vould like to tell you that i have not ricieved my order yet after 40day l made the py ment the oder numbe80157167and l wait for your response

Antelife became one of my favorite online store after few purchases,i reccomend this store to all people needs a great quality and cheap price.

Perfect communication and service!

Maybe there is a difference between ordering from the European warehouses vs from China, reviews about the former seem better...

I had an annoying experience, having ordered the Yotaphone 2 international version from the Chinese warehouse I emailed Antelife after 3-4 days of no acknowledgement of my order (no order confirmation email received). A couple days following my email I got a short reply saying the phone had shipped a day earlier and was now in the process of delivery (expected within 3-5 days). I then asked them for an invoice and tracking information. Another day passed and I was informed that they will provide the invoice once they have the tracking number.

At this point I opened a dispute with PayPal. Lo and behold I got an invoice from Antelife the same day.

4 days later they sent me an email with a tracking number and a tracking website - and said that it usually takes 10 DAYS for the tracking info to update, but my phone will be with me within 7-30 days - so still no usable proof or tracking info. And they had the cheek to ask me to close the dispute with PayPal to which I said no.

Another 4-5 days passed and I was about to cancel the whole thing with PayPal when I received a message from PayPal that Antelife refunded the money and the case was closed, I received no apologies nor any explanation from Antelife. In the end I only lost probably 3-4 weeks and a couple euros in conversion fee. I'm not sure if they were trying to scam me, but when I ordered the phone their website said they had more than 10 in stock.

Already bought three smartphones in the antelife, every time from Spain warehouse. The service was always fast and reliable, it never took more than three days to get my smartphone on my hands. The site has many filters that help you choose the best smartphone according to what I want. Highly recommended.

I ordered a phone and after MORE THAN ONE MONTH waiting they write me saying that the phone is out of stock but they could send me another model. I say that I don't want that other model but a refund and they insist I take this other phone, no matter what I write they told me to buy another one. THIEVES!!

Order number is 800155130

So they ask me for the order number, just to say same thing per email again, that they are going to send me a different one. It gets even funny how ROBBERS can those people be. Amazing.

The Service is shabby all over the chain, more than a month to ship the phone with the argument "is not yet available" in the store, knowing that when i ordered it, it was available on the site

The delivery took 1 month.

The phone comes with an earphone problem that does not work.

After contacting the customer service, and spending more than two months in chating with them or they have made me lose much time to finally suggest to me to send the phone with unrealistic conditions. Please see below:

"Sorry to hear the problem with your device. Would you like to send your phone back to China for testing and repairing?
Some countries will need to charge you the customs tax, if you do not want to pay when we send back to you, then you had better decide whether to send your device to China.
Before sending back your phone to repair, read our warranty return policy on our website

If you agree to send it back, please do as below:
1. Put a paper in your parcel, write down your order number and the problems of your phone (in English, try to print instead of writing). Please note that we would not handle your parcel if we cannot find the paper.
2. Please send back your phone with a screen protector. We will not be responsible if your phone was scratched during transit without the protection of the screen protector.
3. Make sure your phone is not set or the power-on password has been lifted.
4.If your local post forbid you to send the phone with the battery, then take the battery out. But you need to confirm the problem is not the battery since our engineer cannot detect your battery.
5，Lenovo，ASUS，Xiaomi，Huawei，One plus and Nubia, these phones brands have the warranty card in your phone box, you must need to send back together with your phone, or they will charge you very high or will not repair for you. Chinese is “保修卡”.

When you are ready to send:
1.Send out your package through local post office , do not return by DHL,UPS...as it will cost high customs and it may be in trouble with customs clearance.
2. Marked your order No. (1000*****/80000**** ) on your parcel.
3. Take some photos of delivery when you send it back to us.
This is our return address: if you do not send in one month please confirm with us when you decide to send in case we change the address.

hi me to I bay xiaomi mix on th 24 after I checked the web site I found they in the china new year season no shapingg from 23 to 6 february

My order nr 800154504 smartphone UMI Super delivered during 3 days from ordering day / thursday 4.1.2017 - saturday 7.1.2017. Smartphone is a new and amazing. The customer support is very good Antelife have my recommended.

On Oct 2nd 2015 I ordered a phone from Antelife because they have EU warehouse and I needed the product fast. After six days I had no shipping information and I send them an email asking about the status of my order. The customer service replied that I have to pay 25 Euros more in order to receive my order. I refused to pay and finally after 5 emails and a PayPal claim they send the phone.

After a year the phone had unfortunately a hardware failure and fortunately it was 15 days before the warranty expiration. I contacted the manufacturer and they told me to contact the retailer, Antelife. After one month and more than 10 emails I managed to find the return address in order to send the item back to China.

Of course nobody informed me that the item arrived to Antelife and it took more 2 months and many emails and facebook messages to trace it in the service of Antelife.

So, three months after the damage they told me that "we can not confirm whether it is artificially damage, so we charge the hardware replace fee 66.14$"!

I explained them that this is not compatible even with their own Terms of service and I'm not going to pay for the repair. Now I suppose that it will take 2 more months in order to take my phone back.

Stay away from this company. If you have any problem you will regret the time you placed order to them. They are absolutely not organized and not professional. In the past I had a similar problem with another Chinese eshop and they solved it professionaly in 20 days. Stay away from Antelife!!!

I bought the Gigaset Me Pro from Antelife (Germany Warehouse) on 2016/12/18 and I received it the 2016/12/22. So fast processing, fast packaging and fast sending.

Product is from CCC not CE but It works perfect and last but not least with the lastest ROM available.

!!! Kaufen Sie nicht auf Antelife !!!

Ich habe auf Antelife zwei Smartphones Anfang Dezember bestellt, die Website zeigte "auf Lager". Die Tage vergingen(nix mit 24h-72h Versand) und ich bekamm keine Ware, auch der Status auf der Website blieb immer gleich, also schrieb ich Antelife ein Mail was den mit meiner Bestellung los ist.
(Von selbst kommt man hier nicht drauf den Kunden zu informieren bzw. zu kontaktieren.)
Jetzt wurde mir mitgeteilt, dass beide Varianten des Smartphones ausverkauft sind, ich sollte mir doch ein anderes aussuchen(mit da bei im Mail, gleich einige Vorschläge).

Ich habe abgelehnt, da diese unter dem Warenwert meiner bestellten Ware lagen und wollte mein Geld zurück.
Der Shop wich immer aus und ignorierte mein Anliegen.

Antelife will das Geld( 375,99€ ) freiwillig nicht mehr zurück geben und wartet, bis von Kundenseite nichts mehr kommt bzw. der Kunde aufgibt.
Die angegeben Hotline ist fake und funktioniert nicht, das selbe gilt für den Live Chat Support. Denn Email Service können Sie vergessen, wenn Sie Glück haben bekommen Sie 1 Mail alle 24h zurück und selbst dann wirklich nur das nötigste.

Es ist nun fast Ende Dezember, mittlerweile werde ich von Antelife ignoriert, meine Mails werden nicht beantwortet.
Ich habe weder meine Ware bekommen, noch wurde mir mein Geld zurück überwiesen.
Aufgrund dessen habe mich nun an meinen Kreditkartenbetreiber gewant, der mir versichert hat, dass ich den bezahlten Betrag rückerstattet bekomme.

Ich kann Sie nur warnen, bestellen Sie nicht auf Antelife.
Lassen Sie sich nicht von den Preisen oder Angeboten täuschen, der ganze Shop ist reinster Betrug.
Ich habe schon viele Online-Einkäufe getätigt, aber so eine Dreistigkeit und Ignoranz wie bei Antelife hab ich nochnie gesehen.

Lassen Sie sich auch nicht von guten Bewertungen blenden, diese sind alle Fake und werden zum größten Teils von Antelife selbst geschrieben. Vergessen Sie auch Antelifes " Dear customer, I am sorry for the problem, could you pls let me kow your order number? " unter jeder schlechten Bewertung, dies bleibt ohne jegliche Bearbeitung und dient nur dazu Kundenfreundlichkeit vorzutäuschen.

Forschen Sie ein bisschen nach, suchen Sie Bewertungen über Antelife (Pandacheck, Chinamobilemag, Facebook, etc..) und Sie werden sehen, dass ich nicht der einzige bin, der solche Erfahrungen mit diesem Shop gemacht hat.

Sollte Sie dennoch in Erwägung ziehen auf Antelife zu bestellen, tun Sie dies mit Paypal, da Sie hier 180 Tage Käuferschutz haben und das Geld jederzeit rückfordern können.
Machen Sie nicht den selben Fehler wie ich, mit Kreditkarte zu zahlen.

Update(1.1.2017)
Nachdem ich mit rechtlichen Schritten gedroht habe, schrieb mir Antelife, dass sie den Betrag rücküberweisen. Dies ist allerding niemals geschehen. Paylife hat gottseidank den Betrag rückgefordert und mir überwiesen, da Antelife absolut garnichts getan hat.

Lug und Betrug = Antelife !

The buying experience has been perfect, good price, fast shipping and my queries have been solved in a very professional way, thanks antelife

Great web site I have been buy Bluboo Maya 3G Phable , with best price o the market
a take about 18 day to Morocco

I bought a doogee X5s that is was in stock about 28 november 2016
and after many days i contact about 16 december to asked what happen to the smartphone that i order the try to change it with a cheaper older version o doogee X5 i said NO ,and after many day the said we will change it with the doogee X5 pro i accepted and after 2 days the said ok we will send the doogee x5 you accepted,i said NO it was not the one i asked.
they are scams the poorest customer experience ever in my life the always tries to trick you by sending codes of the product stay AWAY...

I have ordered a smartphone (Yotaphone 2) on the Antelife web site. Delivery to Germany was ok. The phone was advertised with "Worldwide Free Shipping". I had to pay shipping, and a lot of taxes (30% of the original price), but at least I got some small refund afterwards.

The front display of the phone stopped working after a few weeks, for no apparent reason, and this is where the trouble started:

* After 3 mails to the Antelife support center and misleading replies, I finally got information on how to send back the device.
* I tried to do so, but my package was returned back to me because of the built-in smartphone battery.
* After 8 (!) more mails (and 48 hours of waiting for each reply), Antelife told me that they cannot repair my smartphone anyway, because they do not have the appropriate displays available.
* I asked about the Portugal repair center, which is mentioned in the FAQ. I got the reponse "We don't have such repair center in Spain".
* For all remaining mails I wrote ("what else can be done?" etc). I got replies such as "what is your tracking number", "we will get your package soon".
* Since then, the replies did not have anything to do with my questions. I tried to write both elaborate mails and very short mails, but the contents of my mails are systematically ignored.
* Interestingly, I always get a response, so I assume their strategy is to tire the customers until they give up.

This is the Antelife advertisement (front page): "Perfect after-sale service." and "We also have one year free repair warranty. We will help solve all the problems caused to you if you purchase from us". The advertised support chat is never online.

Forget it. If something goes wrong, you are lost.

Paid two phones by credit card, Antelife asked for copy of my id, home address proof, picture od credit card etc or else they would cancelmy order and refund me. I asked them to cancel and refund me and then they asked for, proof of payment. I provided it but haven't heard from them since. Not to be trusted.

>> Antelife wrote today saying they would ship my order tomorrow. They are running a dishonest business, misleading customers and playing them for fools. What order, I asked Antelife, if I cancelled it a week ago following Antelife instructions? I reminded them for the 10th time that I cancelled the order and that I am awaiting my refund as Antelife originally promised when I refused to send them my
personal information.

Conclusion>>>>
My credit card company eventually refunded me after Antelife continued to refuse to do so.
I don't want any business with Antelife ever again. Nor will I respond to their requests to remove my comments here.
