Resolved: Beware of false offers of free shipping

AI Highlights
  • - Free shipping offers may be false; terms show Start 25 Nov, End 2 Dec.
  • - They interpret 'inclusive' as excluding 2 Dec and say the promo ends on 1st.

Updated by user Dec 11, 2025

They finally refunded my shipping charges after a week of emails explaining to them what 'inclusive' meant and showing screen shots and promotion adverts. However, I had spent time drafting, but not yet sent, an email to my credit card issuer requesting a refund via the chargeback scheme as they constantly denied one was due.

Original review Dec 09, 2025
Beware of false offers of free shipping. When their T&Cs advertise free shipping for orders over 10kg as follows: 'Start Date: 25th November, End Date: 2nd December.

Only auctions that end between these dates (inclusive) qualify for free shipping,' they speak a different language to most English speakers. To them, the word 'inclusive' means 'not including the end date of the 2nd December.' You will get charged shipping on the end date, and no amount of trying to get them to honour their T&Cs works; they will insist that when their T&Cs state 'inclusive' of the 2nd, that means the promotion finishes on the 1st.
Loss:
$30
Pros:
  • Some good bargains to be had
Cons:
  • Dishonest promotions & fraudulent charges to your payment card

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Beware of false offers of free shipping you may rack up a large shipping charge only to find it is not free as advertised.

I won 13 bids last night. I tried to pay with a verified card, but your system wouldn't allow me.

I tried several other cards; it was declining. I had enough money.

I have screenshots to prove that I tried to pay with different cards, and I failed. As it was late, I tried to ring customer services, but no one answered.

Preferred solution: Unblock my account it wasnt my fault i tried to pay with different cards and failed and i heard money in those cards

Warning to others

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Jobalots has ongoing bugs since launch, and items unfavourite themselves.
  • - Bids with the same amount may be won by later bidders.
Updated by user Oct 20, 2025

Buyer beware. Don't expect Jobalots to honour GDPR or UK consumer law if anything goes wrong, and it will as their website has more bugs in it than an ant hill.

Original review Oct 05, 2025
Buyer beware, there are bargains to be had, but the Jobalots website has lots of bugs. Bugs on launch I can accept, but them still being there 8 months on is not acceptable.

Items constantly 'unfavourite' themselves, leaving you at risk of missing them. A lot of times you will be the highest bidder, but a later bidder can win if they bid the same amount as you (not a higher amount). I've even lost auctions to people bidding lower amounts. The support team is polite but powerless; they are probably an offshore call centre as they mainly reply in the middle of the night and just say they will ask 'the developers'.

They have not resolved any of my issues in 8 months. They do not honour GDPR data access requests, so I ended up reporting them to the relevant authorities (still waiting 3 months on for the data).

Their subscription service with real-time chat is a con; I had the PRO service, and they never once answered the real-time chat. They deny all bugs exist and say it only happens to me, so I would be interested in hearing from others who encounter the same or similar bugs.
Pros:
  • Some bargains to be had
Cons:
  • Temu and aliexpress can be cheaper and deliver faster
  • Website has more bugs in it than an ant hill
  • Dubious and illegal business practices with respect to consume law

Preferred solution: Full admission of bugs with publication of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) documents and a commitment to fix them. Full GDPR compliance and refund for all costs (including postage) incurred due to their bugs and failure to comply with UK consumer law.

User's recommendation: Use with caution, bargains to be had but they hide behind their T&Cs which basically say they are not responsible for anything that goes wrong.

I really cant reveal all but there is now evidence of a massive security breach either past or present where the system is compromised. I will update as more info comes in but please appreciate due to the communication black out from Mr Lear this is now turning into a criminal investigation.

Original review Apr 27, 2025

System errors, the aggressive owner who closes accounts when faults with the system are exposed. Lack of communication.

Lies told about items actually delivered when clearly witnessed as not, and lies to the court attempting to settle prior to court (contempt of court) only unsure how he achieved this after blocking my email and account. Steer clear, there are some really reputable others with the timed down auction out there now - steer clear of these people.

Loss:
$250000
Pros:
  • Pros you get the item you unknowingly overpaid for in good time
Cons:
  • Con thousands taken from customers daily and without users knowledge

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Steer clear but watch the space as accountability is imminent also watch for below pic in your bidding history

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. They re-opened my account but no communication by telephone and was not able to clear my account which still shows non payment on my file which is not of my doing

Original review Nov 16, 2024

Keep blocking my account due to non-payment when it is their system that is causing all the issues. Since they changed the IT system, we get bombarded with emails about non-payment and account being blocked, and you lose your orders because they don't have a clue how to rectify the problem. No one to talk to.

Pros:
  • Variation of prody
Cons:
  • Non contactable by phone and there it system is garbage

Preferred solution: I want to pay and recent order dated 15/11 and my account cleared on any wrong doing

User's recommendation: Don’t bother they are a headache with no personal contact, just pre loaded emails

  • - The company described the hover as a customer return but in good order; the delivered package had rubbish, no hover, and returns were refused.
Original review updated Jun 23, 2022

The review is about a company names JObalots .I bid on a hover which they described it customer return but in good order. Yesterday the job pallet has been delivered to my home address while I was on job.

On returning home I found there was some rubbish inside the package and was had no hover. I immediately call the company but there Customer services is not ready to listen anything but only good to say that they not accepting any return.

This is ridiculous and the customer should be treated this way. I request you to interfere and either stop them doing this business or give compensation to the effected customers.
