Ordered 2 x smart phones (not top of the range - Leagoo Alfa 5's) as well as action camera and headphones - paid extra $41+ for DHL delivery (even though postage free in original price).
That was on 18th November 2015 - all confirmed - delivery 3 - 7 days, then the delays started....
The headphones and action camera (Go Pro lookalike..) were eventually sent to HK after 1 week ..... I paid the customs fee via DHL UK - (whilst still in HK...) - however when delivered I found the headphones remote and volume control broken and the action camera has a missing 16Gb TF card.

Originally not told anything - just order accepted delivery 3 - 7 days OK Then I was told 'slight delay for 2 days' ...OK ... no sweat. Then told out of stock and restocking in a few days ... OK liveable Then told out of stock and don't know when they are going to be in stock - these were bought as presents... absolutely miffed now..!!
Asked what phones they had in stock (so that I could change my order and get 'some phones' - they did not even reply.
Lots of emails bouncing around - really annoyed I used them.
Have lodged a claim with PayPal for a refund of some of the order value - (at least they confirmed that we are n dispute as they sent an email saying they will no longer deal with the order.....!)
IF YOU ARE THINKING OF USING THEM - BEWARE OF THE LIES
I am now waiting weeks to try and get my money back.
DO NOT BUY FROM HERE !!! many other websites sell the same phone, buy it from somewhere else!!
Terrible customer service. here is my experience.
1. Paid for express shipping - took 1 month to arrive
2. Phone touch screen failed to sense touch.
3. They asked me to send it back for repair, as due to long shipping no longer covered by the replace refund guarantee
4. Paid $50 to send it back.
5. after 3 months of having the phone it was sent back.
6. Still broken with the same fault.
7. they refuse to do anything but make me send it back to them again for repair, even though its clear they cant fix it, at another $50 expense to me its just wasting money.
Terrible customer service, i sure if your phone is not faulty then things may be ok, but it's not worth the risk. So many other websites sell the same phone, i strongly suggest you buy it from somewhere else.
Item (Beats Headphones) arrived as per description. Delivery was made within 2 weeks or purchasing and as per ETA. The headphones were packaged carefully and arrived without issues. The item itself I would rate at 8/10. Looks to be a copy but the price reflected it so it was a non issue for me.
JIAKE i9500 MTK6589 1.2GHz Quad-core Android 4.2 5.0 Inch Capacitive Smartphone with Dual SIM,Dual Camera,UMTS/3G The phone's screen is unbelievably high quality. The color is extremely sharp and vivid. Text looks fantastic, and because the resolution is so high. The phone feels very light, but the metallic band around the phone makes it feel sturdy. I think that Android has always had more features than iOS. I do pretty much everything on my phone from taking a crapload of pictures/videos, watching YouTube videos, playing 3D games, phone calls and surfing the internet, so I need a phone which battery life seems great like this

full review with photos here: http://andrew.hopto.org/l800review.pdf
I had been using my Sony Xperia U smartphone for 18months and decided it was time for a change. I fancied a phablet style screen as my sight is not the best and frustrated with web browsing on a tiny screen. I saw this phone advertised claiming to be the cheapest quad core smart phone at sourced it cheapest from a company called Coolicool. (www.coolicool.com) for $78.99 with free P&P. Incidentally there was a choice of black or white. This was my first experience of ordering from an online Chinese company. The ordering process was simple and I was notified once the phone had been dispatched. I chose to use the free economy air mail service. Delivery to the UK took four weeks but I was really impressed as I hear sometimes it can take three months! Brief Specification • 5.0inch Touch Screen,480x850 pixels • Support 3G network: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 & WCDMA 850/2100 MHz • MTK6582 Quad Core CPU , 1.3GHz • 512MB RAM +4G ROM • 2.0MP Back Camera and 0.3MP Front Camera, with flashlight • Dual SIM Card Dual Standby • Dimensions: 141*71.5*9.2mm
First Impressions. The phone is nicely presented in it’s packaging. The phone appears solid and well-constructed. I particularly like the brushed metal like trim around the side. The weight feels a little heavier than my previous phone sony Sony Xperia u U phone but it is a much larger device. The phone has a jacket type case which protects the sides and rear whilst allowing the camera ,and flash and speaker to be used. In the hand it feels comfortable and a good weight. The micro USB charging socket is at the top with a 3.5mm headphone/ hand free jack. On the right hand side is a power button. The Volume buttons on the left and a microphone on the bottom. The button pushes give good feedback and feel good quality. I often tend to carry it in my shirt pocket. The back cover although plastics looks almost like leather with as it is etched, it gives good grip in the hand.
The brushed metal like surround gives the feeling of quality of the device.
The device as a screen protector pre fitted to prevent the screen from becoming scratched and damaged. The micro USB charging / data along with the3.5mm headphone socket is at the top.
Accessories The phone comes with a TPU case, charging micro USB lead, Mains charger, stereo handsfree headphones and a spare screen protector.
I tend to use with the TPU case fitted. It prevents the sides and rear from becoming scratched whilst the cut outs allow the camera, flash and speaker through. I find the case improves grip within the hand though will say you have to push a little hard on side buttons.
I wouldn’t normally give the instruction manual a mention as they are normally not worth reading. However I will say this guide is pretty comprehensive and well explained. With pictures too!
Screen The Landvo L800 features a 5” 480 x 850 FWVGA screen. It isThe screen is bright an actually looks higher resolution than it is. In daylight outside the screen is fairly clear to read. Indoors In most conditions the the colours are bright and vibrant. The touch screen is responsive and accurate which goes in hand to say the onscreen keyboard is easy to use. You can get a good typing rate without making errors.
The screen has a multi-point capacitive screen useful for gestures like enlarging photos. At the bottom center is a home screen which is a little heavy to press. Either side touch buttons (back and actions menu) illuminate.
The phone has a gyro sensor s when you tilt the screen changes to portrait to landscape and vice versa. It is possible to turn this feature off within settings if you find undesirable.
Hardware features and Performance The phone features a Quad core 1.3ghz CPU (MTK682) It is adequate and notably improved over previous my previous phone (Sony Xperia U).The phone comes preloaded with Android 4.2. I was particularly impressed the operating system was already rooted. Sometimes when viewing multiple webpages it can be slower to respond. I feel if the phone had a little bit more memory I could give it a rating of five out of five. Providing you don’t have too many services running in the background this phone will play graphics intensive games really well. The CPU scores a respectable Antutu Benchmark of 17262.
I find the GPS locks onto satellites and is fairly precise. I Google’s navigation app frequently and I cannot fault it. The large screen is displays navigation information very clearly.
The 4gb of Rom is sufficient for most of your everyday messaging and games apps. I bought a 8gb micro sd card with the phone for photos and media. I understand the phone excepts up to 32gb which is plenty. Cameras The Landvo L800 has two camera, The front facing is 0.3 megapixels which performed well for skype video conferencing. The rear Camera is 2 mega pixels. In good light the colours and quality is very good. You will need a steady hand for focusing and the photos take a few seconds to process. Indoors the flash helps but isn’t very bright. Focusing is low light is harder. When taking videos the quality is high and the inbuilt microphone picks up small detail.
Endurance, day to day use. The Landvo L800 is supplied with a lithium ion 2300mah battery. I use this phone heavily every day and rely on it for phone, messaging, navigation and web browsing. I find that as long as I leave home with the phone fully charged it will last me until I go to bed. I tend to leave the Bluetooth and wifiWi-Fi turned on. If these were turned off it would last even longer. I use the dual sim SIMS standby feature which allows me to have my work business SIM card as well as my personal in use. . The phone has a socket for one micro and another full size SIM.
The earpiece is acceptably loud and the speaker phone impressively loud without being distorted. Because of the loud speaker the ringer can be heard from far. I keep a spare charged battery with me just in case. These are available for less than £3 delivered! I would like it if it had a notification light for charging and if it would glow if there was a new message. You can get apps though which make the menu buttons light though . A simple workaround. The vibrate works well and you won’t fail to notice it buzz. I often use it through the hands free system in my car which works faultlessly. The Android 4.2 compliments this phone and is full of useful features including automatic on and off.
Value and Verdict. I happily use this phone every day for personal and business use. The build feels solid and high quality. The Landvo L800 offers excellent value compared to other phones of a similar price. I do feel a 1gb version would transform this in the ultimate value smartphone. I would recommend purchasing a car charger to top the battery. This is a smartphone goes everywhere with me. I would be sad if I were to lose but re assured that I could afford to purchase another. I would recommend the Landvo L800 from Coolicool to those looking for an amazing value phablet smartphone.
