Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 40 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers found the products to be of poor quality, not performing as advertised, and often arriving damaged or incomplete. People also expressed significant dissatisfaction with the pricing, noting that advertised prices frequently differed from the final charge due to undisclosed currency conversions, leading to unexpected and higher costs. Reviewers also reported issues with their orders, including items not being received or receiving incorrect sizes. The return policy was a major point of frustration, with many struggling to return products or obtain refunds due to a lack of clear instructions or unresponsive customer service.

I’m not holding my breath here and I’m only giving a 1 star as you can’t write a review otherwise. Don’t buy anything from SoTrend. I stupidly responded to a pop up ad and made a purchase. I’ve ask... See more

When I had a question

When I had a question, I was quickly connected to someone for an answer. Pleasant customer service and clear instructions for shipping and receiving goods and knowing what to expect.

I cancelled the order the same day I submitted the order on July 31, 2024. Never hear back from them. They appeared on my PayPal as NOTICE INDUSTRIA E COMERCIO DE CONFECCOES EIRELI. There is no customer service telephone number. No address.
No history of Sotrends on their internet site. This site is a scam. Stay away. You'll never get your money back!

Following on from my last review about…

Following on from my last review about this company. I sent them an email to their Support email address, pretending I was interested in making a very large order (several thousand £). They replied the following day!!!
However, despite requesting a refund for my UltaCut attachments (doesn't fit my trimmer), totalling £98.92, they have ignored my emails and online contact submissions via their website. I WOULD URGE ANYONE WHO IS HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING A REFUND FROM THIS COMPANY TO CONTACT CITIZENS ADVICE / TRADING STANDARDS, SO THEY CAN BE LOOKED INTO AND INVESTIGATED. Don't just let them ignore your requests and keep your hard earned money!

This Company is an absolute scam

This Company is an absolute scam. Ordered a power hose and followed tracking until it said in transit. Got a notification saying delivered at 12.14 on 24th July but it was never delivered. The price was not listed as US$ so got a shock to see how much was stolen from my account. Checked the delivery details with NZ post and they confirmed it was a scam. Don't go near them.Thieving scammers. And, give it a zero star!!!!

Stay away from Sotrends

Got caught out on exactly the same Ultra-cut trimmer complaint as JD. Not as advertised and charged in US$ without being informed. Returned item within 7 days; no response to numerous emails asking for a refund, no phone number available and no corporate address. C/C might refund. Should have known better as advertising looked very dubious. Always check some consumer reviews for a new company. A good idea to check out if it is possible to contact a company first; big red flag if not. Should have a zero star for review experience.

Update: Credit card recognised the fake 'refund' scam and I was pleased to be refunded by C/C, other than item return mail cost. No thanks to SoTrends who ignored all my numerous emails. MJ's comment below on how to get a reply tells it all. All the 5* positive reviews stand out a mile as untrustworthy; nobody spends time writing like that.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!
I ordered a Speed camera detector, namely the detector X Pro, on 8/05/24 with the promise of a refund in the event of being either dissatisfied with the product or if it malfunctioned.
I received the product on15/05/24 and tried using it the same day. It simply DID NOT WORK!
I notified So Trends of this who eventually responded and asked for a video of the product ‘Not working’!
I duly sent a video as requested which showed no activity whatsoever as I approached several speed cameras. I requested a refund and asked how they would like it returned.
No response and now many emails later still no reply.
After sales service is absolutely rubbish. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY.

I bought an ultra-cut strimmer from this company some considerable time ago. Despite numerous efforts to fit it to my existing strimmer and watching a video Sotrends sent me, it would not fit. I have corresponded with them on no fewer than 10 occasions asking for return information but they have failed to reply. I would have given them a no star rating but cannot do so. I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU WASTE GOOD MONEY DEALING WITH THEM. There is no customer service

Ordered a pressure washer attachment for my garden hose. Cost £50. Shocked when it arrived. About 10 inches in length, plastic fittings attached to a very thin metal rod. Very different to what was described on their website. Asked for a refund within a day of getting the item and can return the item, although from China I notice! No response. Dont use this company, they are fakes and dishonest.
