Baofeng Service Team is second to none

Baofeng Service Team is second to none! They solved my issue with information that I needed to use my device and in a very timely manner. I'm very satisfied with their service. I'll be purchasing Baofeng for any future radio needs

I had an issue with a programming cable. They responded with the information I needed to fix the issue. It was a driver issue. They directed me to it and the cable I thought was junk suddenly worked perfectly! Very helpful company.

Baofeng SOS from South Africa.

Baofeng SOS from South Africa.
My experience was wonderful. We were gifted Baofeng radios, but they did not work. I sent out an "SOS" on this site and within a short time I received not only a response, but the guidance given resolved the issue first time round. It was painless, easy and even from South Africa, I received great service and support. Thank you.

Exceptional In Every Way

I’m new to 2 way radios and Baofeng was my introduction to GMRS. The products are exceptional, only surpassed by their customer service, specifically Olivia. She recognized my novice knowledge and tailored her responses and explanation to my level. She even provided detail of competitors products and their specific benefits. She is without a doubt the Best customer service rep I’ve ever encountered.
The products and customer service experience has made me a lifelong Baofeng customer.

Fast & Friendly

Ordered a replacement for a non-functional radio. The support was very friendly and fast. Got a replacement after only a few days without headache.

Excellent support

My experience with Baofeng customer support was excellent. I had some initial difficulty in setting up my laptop with the Baofeng programming cord and using CHIRP. I exchanged several helpful emails with customer services. After following their advice and using the recommended updated drivers, everything works great . Thank you, Olivia !

Excellent delivery and excellent radios.

I ordered two uv-5r. They were shipped very quickly they arrived to the destination in Canada a few days later and they arrived in excellent condition I haven't been enjoying them, they are excellent and I am signing up for my Amateur Radio License. Using DHL was excellent there was great communication and I could track my package easily I was able to pay my duties and taxes quickly, I highly recommend baofengradio!

Great aftercare

I ordered a pair of radios but unfortunately one of the headsets that was supposed to be includes was missing. After contacting customer support I was offered a solution and received my replacement headset a few days later without hassle. They even contacted me a few weeks later because the shipping company wasn't updating their status and they wanted to make sure I received the product.
