They stole my money. Purchased a Microsoft license, but the payment was "declined"- but I was still charged for it. So I have no order number or confirmation, and certainly no Microsoft license. Just money taken from my account. I'm seeing this has happened to other people too. This site is garbage.

Bad reviews for a reason! They will sneak something into your cart that initially doesn’t cost anything so you may not even notice it, but then you’ll get charged for something later after for a “free” trial they signed you up for! If you risk doing business with them (which I recommend not doing), watch for the extras they’ve automatically signed you up for.

New Update - Mashable claims that they have issued a full refund but it has NEVER appeared. Capital One said that they have never responded to the dispute. Now I have received a new email from Mashable that it will be only a PARTIAL refund and I must PAY to return their defective merchandise. I have already been credited for the FULL amount by Capital One. If Mashable refuses to respond, that becomes permanent. Avoid these lying scammers. Update - after filing a dispute with Capital One about this purchase, Mashable has repeatedly tried to strong arm to cancel the dispute. stating that I will never get my money back unless I do. They have not responded to Capital One's requests concerning the dispute. Mashable claims they will give a refund but refuse to be specific as to dollar and cents (they previously stated a smaller amount than charged). I ordered a smartwatch and the additional one year warranty. It arrived as a complete DUD. It will not charge, it will not power on. There is no customer service help enclosed with the watch or on the box. It does tell you to download the app also produced by the manufacturer. THAT'S WHERE THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE. So many people with my exact problem - a DUD. Mashable's response? Follow the enclosed directions for return (THEY DON'T WORK) and I must pay return shipping. Returning shipping for a dud that won't turn on? This is a scam perpetuated by Mashable. I have filed a scam complaint with Capital One.

They advertised a charger that was nothing like what was sent. The pictures are nothing like actual product delivered. Total scam.

I purchased a 2012 refurbished Macbook Air in June July 2022 and the only issue I had was the place to enter a code for a price reduction for my purchase was no where to be found. I contacted the company via email and they reduced my final amount down by 20% which a was really great surprise considering the negative write ups I have read here. From me 2 thumbs up to them. Must add that the Macbook is what I expected in perfect condition.

Update on Mashable review posted 4 April 2022. After multiple attempts to obtain the software product as advertised on Apple News, I finally received the correct product download after three weeks of hassle. I'm updating my previous review since they finally delivered the correct product, but having to go through such a frustrating process should not have been necessary!

A Chinese Bait and Switch Scam! I ordered from Mashable what I was told would be a lifetime license for a PDF Converter Pro program for $30.00. When I followed the download instructions I was sent a free nonfunctional trial version. When I contacted customer support they just sent me the same link to the free trial version. In order to upgrade to the fully functional version would have to pay another $40.00. This company doesn't even rate 1 star, but I had to click on 1 star to input my comments!

my mom ordered an echo show 8 for me for Christmas. A echo show 5 showed up at my door. She was charged 140 for the wrong thing. No return address or label. When she finally contacted them, they apologized and said they sent a label NO LABEL!! Taking advantage of elderly is a crime. funny that her card was compromised shortly after this.
