I bought the camera Sony Alpha 7R IV at the lowest price all over the place, and I also bought three lenses, which was also a very low price. I got it within a week

The prices at Gadgetward are fabulous and the customer service is very good but you will need to be patient as deliveries can take a very long time. If you don't need your item asap sit back and wait... See more

I never received my item in the end

Despite numerous attempts at having the item expidited to myself I still never even recieved the camera I ordered in the end.
Their customer service was helpful but I would rather just have recieved the items than having them keep chasing it up. So after about a couple of months they offered me the full refund without any proper explanation as to what the problem really was.
I would never ever purchase from this company again under any circumstances.

Obviously a con

Obviously a con. I paid for a phone that turned out not to exist. I eventually got a refund, but what a waste of time.

Ordered Sony A7Rv and 2 lenses in Oct 2024. Charged credit card and still had not shipped 2 months later. Stopped responding to Chat and e-mails. Phone not in service.
Credit card refunded money but Gadget Ward disputed my claim but luckily I had screenshots of my chats and e-mails to them with no replies. Would not order anything from them.

Placed and order which never arrived

Placed an order for a camera, was told a time frame, when that time frame was up, I was told another 2 weeks, then after that another 2 weeks and so on until I just canceled my order as I had been waiting for almost 3 months. Got my refund fairly quickly but never buying here again.

They don't ship orders and will not refund money

I paid $3000 for a lens.
Never sent.
No refund.
I have sent dozens of emails and have only received one reply.
I paid with a credit card so I have contacted them to get a refund as these criminals don't respond to anything.
THE WORST
***update
After nearly four months I finally got my refund from my credit card provider.
Customer service is non-existent.
Lens was never shipped.
Out of over 100 emails and messages I sent them I actually had one response that promised to give me a refund that was never given.
Absolutely the worst place to deal with.
If I could give negative infinity stars I would.
Don't ever buy anything from these criminals.

They are back for more victims

This brand new website ‘GearClix’ popped up promptly after the closure of Gadgetward and the address on the website was similar to Gadgetward.

I did some further digging to publicly available information and found both are indeed from the same outfit Sureworld Infosolutions Pvt.Ltd

I would recommend pursuing them to claw back money lost and prevent more victims.

Think twice before ordering…

My order had not arrived 3 months after being placed. I was buying the camera for a safari trip. I phoned and was promised that it would be dispatched within 10 days. It was not. As it was too late for my trip I cancelled the order and was promised a refund which I have not received. This was done by email as they were no longer receiving phone calls.That was in December.
