Cash Cash Pinoy: Why you should think twice before purchasing
With everyone being busy, shopping for Christmas is evolving to the online markets where all items can easily be viewed. Transactions can easily be made with a click. Payments can be made through bank payments or credit cards. Among the popular online site go to for discounts is cash cash pinoy . But hold your horses... read this experience first before rushing there to make a deal.It was September 6 of this year when I bought a lawn green 12000mah powerbank from cash cash pinoy. I was very busy that time that I couldn't go to the mall. After purchasing, I missed the information that it will be delivered in October. Tsk! Okay. I have to wait for a month for the delivery. Since I already purchased it, all I can do is wait.
October came and it was finally delivered. When I tried it- tada!!!! Not working! It was not even lighting. Since Cash Cash Pinoy has no contact number, I filed a report on October 18 through their website. The next day, I got a reply. I was pleased at how fast they attended to complaints. The response said

I did what was asked. I filled out the form and sent pictures of the defective item. Here's my very friendly email.
I waited. Followed up on October 22 and 27 but got no response. I was ONLY asking for an EXPECTED DATE of delivery. I needed my expectations set. I kept telling myself to be patient, but who will when you've already waited for a month, got charged on my credit card and it's already taking almost two months and I still don't have a powerbank.Thank you for the swift reply. I have attached here the replacement form and the pictures of the item I got.Kindly give me the expected date when the replacement item will be delivered.Thank you.

We already requested your replacement to our merchant. Rest assured that we will expedite the delivery as soon as it arrives and we will retrieve your item at the same time....WAITING GAME... WAITING FOR THE COURIER
They said I they will expedite the delivery of the replacement right???
I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I did not send further complaints even if I was already disappointed.

So... 2 months and days of waiting for the courier to pickup the defective item, it boils down to getting refunded. Fine.Thank you for writing patiently waiting for your replacement.We are sorry to inform you that the merchant won't be able to deliver the 12000mAh Powerbank - Lawn Green replacement.As such, we were advised to refund your purchase in CashCashPinoy Credits. You can use the credits as good as cash, to buy any deals from our website. The CashCashPinoy Credits has no expiration date and it will remain in your account until you decide to use it.The refund process of CashCashPinoy credits will only take 2-5 working days, and once the credits are deposited to your CashCashPinoy account, you can immediately use it to buy deals from our website.
WAITING GAME...
They said it will take 2-5 working days for the credit to be deposited to my cash cash pinoy account.
They retrieved the defective item but it's already December 11- STILL NO REFUND.
It is not really about the amount now. This is about resolving a SIMPLE issue. I think I was very patient to have waited for them to close this concern. Now I only need what I DESERVE- my MONEY (which turned to "just" CREDITS). They still can't PROCESS it? I searched online to see if there are other unfortunate experiences with Cash Cash Pinoy. Surprisingly, I found a lot!
Now, if you plan on purchasing from CashCashPinoy, PRAY first that you don't end up going through this disappointing experience. I understand that items may be defective but what they do to customers when this happens is NOT acceptable. Indeed... it's money money! It's just all about CASH and nothing about buyer protection or satisfaction guarantee.
