Short review: Electroniks India

The site seems to be mostly useful for retro handhelds and Android TV boxes. The good thing is that you get the listed product.

Coming to the not so good stuff:
  • The China imported items are still sold at a significant markup to sites like AliExpress, though mostly cheaper than sites like MX2Games for the same item.
  • Online payment is listed as PhonePe bill payment to evade charges. This implies that you won't get cashback or benefits using any of the credit cards.
  • They completely ignore requests to cancel the order once it is placed, even if the item is actually shipped more than a day later.
  • They don't respond to return requests.
  • They don't post any of the lower rated reviews like the 2-star one I had left, so the reviews on the site are a lie.
In short, you can purchase something on their site if you absolutely need it and are fine with the price, but don't expect any professional support.
 
Thanks for the review...

I got a mini router-PC (4 LAN ports) from them about a couple of years ago - yes rebranded chinese makes at significant markup - but saves you the hassle of importing it yourself and at least they claim 1-year warranty etc.

I guess this site also like most Indian businesses - great communication to make the sale but after that you're on your own - poor A.S.S. :confused:

One point I should add is that the product was shipped without any kind of padding or bubble wrap causing the outer box to be smashed in one corner. Also, it was sent in an Amazon sleeve which was torn and the product was visible inside.

On that note, they mention delivery by Bluedart or Delhivery but sent it by Amazon surface instead which took about a week.
