Avoid, Avoid, Avoid, Avoid

Don’t ever buy anything from this seller as he has neither a customer service nor an after-sale service or any technical backup facility.

He sent me a used satellite receiver instead of a new one. It broke down two months later. I returned the unit for repair or replacement but did not hear anything until I sent him an email. He simply replied back claiming that the unit had been tampered with and the case was complete. He then refused to answer my phone calls or reply to my emails.

Thankfully I was able to receive a refund from Paypal.
This guy is a seller from hell who should never be allowed to trade.

Apologies for the delay in replying, have recently had personal health issues and was not in a position to be able to reply sooner.

With regards to this customer he was. Sent a brand new unit but was unable to use it correctly due to his limited knowledge of the device, he initially asked for a refund because he said the item did not work however after approx 20 mins on the phone with him we confirmed the item was working fine. I advised the customer as the item has been sent, received and is working correctly we can only refund him as per the terms and conditions of sale as stated on the website.

2 months later he contacts again stating the device has stopped working, we advised send the unit back and we will repair or replace the unit. When the item was received back it was obvious ot had been tapered with so it no longer works and we have the pictures to show this

An email was sent to the customer advising him Of this however when he called on the same day i was not able to reply to his call at that time, he immediately opened a PayPal case.

We voluntarily refunded his money (proof also available) after the case was opened as it was obvious he was. Misusing the PayPal protection policy.

It seems this customers is a jealous competitor who just wants to leave a bad review to negatively impact an. Otherwise successful business

As has been stated before we have been trading over 15 years in the same industry and were the 1st officials seller of zgemma products online our after sales support and technical knowledge of the products is 2nd to none.

Thank you

Stay away.....

Purchased a Sat box from this company and found it was not what I needed so returned it after 5 days.
Today I have received a refund, the initial cost was £83.75 and I only got £70 back.
Yes on their website it says you will be charged for the initial shipping if its returned, but then they add PayPal fees and Admin.
This is an absolute joke, my advice is stay well away as they are out to take as much money from you as possible.

Hello Customer

We are sorry to hear your disappointment on the service we have provided however it does clearly state on our website if the reason for return is a purchasing error we are entitled to minus our costs from the fee received

I think you also should be aware that since mid 2020 PayPal no longer refund fees to the seller if a refund is processed so this means everytime we issue a refund we lose out on 3.5% plus 20p. Please check this new policy with PayPal

We have deducted the non refundable PayPal fee and and actual shipping costs which can be confirmed via the Royal mail website. The balance of a few pounds is because we have handling costs associated with the return for example costs per unit received at the returns handling office which is a 3rd party charge to us

Please understand we are a small business who have have many overheads with limited turnover and therefore cannot afford to lose money on erroneous transactions which are no fault of our own especially in these circumstances where many small businesses are going under due to covid related uncertainty and lack of sales.

We apologise again if the service is not to your standards but we have tried our level best to be as fair as possible when issuing refunds due to customer purchase error

We have not deducted any more than the costs associated with the process and hope you can understand this from our perspective

Thank you

Very poor service !!!! Stay away !!! Unprofessional and rude !!!

They sent faulty tuner and I have to pay for return postage. Dont buy anything on this website. Better buy on ebay or amazon where are fair rules in case when something goes wrong. If you don't want lose your money and time dont buy there !!!!

Very unprofessional company after my email with issue I got response : " Normally when there is a problem with the tuner no channels are found so I'm thinking it couid be a setup issue but I cannot be sure what it could be" and that is all - the best service ever !!!!

No " sorry ", " we will try to help" etc just send it to us and we eventually will refund and maybe return post cost if NECESSARY. (of course it was after I had open case via PayPal)

And another email from this very professional company :"Once the item is received back we will test it and respond accordingly" and that is all again (full email).
No date or details how long it will last. So no money , no decoder and eventually I will got the same rubbish after some time with probably note that tuner is good.
Really pathetic!!!!

I never met before so unprofessional and rude service. Definitly never again and definitely advise to stay away from this website.

Thank God transaction was via PayPal, what give me warranty that I will got my money back soon. So if you have any issue it is no point to discuss with them, just escalate via PayPal !!!

Check other feedbacks, 30% unhappy customers, great result, really impressive and trustworthy !!!!

BTW.
If you focus more on customer support and technical knowledge the same way like you focus on reply for feedbacks maybe you will make you poor company better.

Update 18.02.2021
And of course the didnt refund return cost ... ehhh ... liers and thief's !!!! .... dont make any transaction with this pathetic company !!!!

Returns policy is stated on the website customer was advised to return in the unit back if he thinks it is faulty and he would be refunded fully Inc return postage as we do not have a pre paid label system.

Customer was replied to on a weekend within a few hours with all relevant information

Customer is misusing the PayPal protection policy and trying to get something for nothing

We have been trading for over 6 years with thousands of customers

We also have a telephone number on the site for immediate contact

As. You can see from the above customer. Admits we offered him a full refund Inc postage yet he still opened a PayPal dispute so as stated misuse of PayPal protection and an attempt to get something for nothing

Unfortunately most sellers are aware. Of the unfair PayPal policy but we have no option but to try our best for our genuine customers

ZgemmaH9s basic comments

Fortunately I had basic tutoring from another user. Youtube proved to be best bet for setting up. Used separate pc with large screen monitor to follow Youtube text whilst flashing & setting up Whooshbuild. I'm still a novice with it really & have not explored all its full capabilities.
It helps to record your progress in a notebook and highlight the essential steps for your next session. I still use my skybox - but this is handy- as is the Humax - in caravans. Only slight drawback is the time involved to get up to speed with full installation.Google & Techkings & Youtube are essential friends

I've had 2 Zgemma h2s units bought at…

I've had 2 Zgemma h2s units bought at different intervals and when they worked, I liked them (hence why I had 2) BUT, they are awful to update/flash being very temperamental with usb sticks and accepting software.
Furthermore neither unit now works with only red power light on and completely unresponsive and impossible to flash.
Forums mention usb issues and system failure a lot and to date I dont believe manufacturer has done anything to address issues so I wont buy there product nor reccomend it.
I switched to Mag units and had them 18+ months without a single issue!

Very Poor Service

I found that Zgemma were an unprofessional company to deal with. I received two emails on separate days stating that my delivery was out for delivery today and on both occasions they were not delivered, two days wasted. Zgemma were notified of the problem and stated that it was the courier company that they use was at fault. This maybe the case but the service from Zgemma should provide a more efficient delivery service and not send out random emails with false delivery information. Zgemma cancelled my order and issued a refund.

Update from Zgemmas reply:
To be honest I would have preferred the 3-5 day Royal Mail service and I did not request a supposedly faster service with DPD. The poor service is the result of the false emails stating that my order was out for delivery when it wasn't. Never mind I have had a refund and learnt my lesson not to use Zgemma again.

Customer ordered on a Saturday and selected the 3-5 working days shipping option via royal. Mail

We upgraded his order free to dpd so he gets a 1 hour window on the day of delivery and it arrives faster for him
We emailed the customer with the tracking number upon despatch and also to state please expect delivery within 3-5 working days

Dpd messaged him on Monday to say they have the package and it can be expected on Tuesday BUT they will on the day of delivery notify him and give him the 1 hour window the customer mistook this to mean it will be a guaranteed Tuesday delivery even though he should not expect delivery till Thursday at the earliest as per his delivery option

We also replied to the customers email on Tuesday to advise him that he should not have expected it on Tuesday as per his delivery option and. Also because he did not get the notification from. Dpd to confirm the delivery

On. Wednesday dpd attempted delivery but were not successful however this is no fault of our own

On Wednesday the customer also emailed. To say that he is not happy about not receiving the goods yet and that if they do not arrive he will request a refund and refuse collection of the items

We cannot have goods being delivered and not being paid for and so were not willing. To take a risk of a PayPal Claim and so we requested the order to be returned back to us and refunded the customer

Unfortunately we do not hand deliver our orders and have to rely on courier companies who we do not have any control of once the goods are passed onto them

In this particular case the order was upgraded for free got despatched on time and delivery was expected earlier than scheduled yet the customer still is not happy

I brought 4 H9s units off them in June

I brought 4 H9s units off them in June. Thought I had issues when I went to use them late August. I messaged them with my issue and within 10 minutes I was asked for my number so we could actually speak (always better than email) and a number was given if I wished to call. Called the number was sent the file required and within 10 minutes it was all working perfectly.

Very very happy with the serivice and would recommend 100%.

Fast friendly service

Needed a satellite receiver for the caravan, was advised to go for the h.s model as it's faster then the Zgemma s. We weren't bothered about recording etc.

Ordered Tuesday morning, box arrived Wednesday afternoon. Excellent service guys!

Scanning channels took a few minutes once the satellite was set to 28.2

Picture quality is spot on, subtitles work fine, just need to figure out the EPG.
