DSTORE.com is a FRAUDULENT COMPANY. re-packing defective equipment which has been returned to actual retail outlets who replace their customers defective items with ones that work or they're selling just plain knock offs. This is the only way dstore is able to offer such "great" prices and still turn a profit.

I didn't check any reviews of customers who had shopped at dstore, It came to mind after purchasing that I hadn't reviewed dstore.com.au so I quickly done a search and felt sick with what I read. ALL BAD!

So today my order arrived (Soul SL300 headphones by Ludacris $156.00AU down from $429.00AU) and I opened it up and it all looked pretty professional until I opened the accessories box and noticed energizer batteries - strange.
Set it up and only the faintest sound came through for a moment then went. Tried it on multiple devices. No good. When the noise cancellation was turned on a low frequency thump came on.

I called the number provided on delivery note 1800 DSTORE, an automatic answering service picked up, then I was transferred to one line, then another until a rude lady picked up the phone and just said back to me what I had just said the problem was, asked for my name, I said my first name. Then she said your number, gave it, she mumbled some sort of service team will call you. She didn't ask for any details like order number or product. I said "how long until" she cut me off and said I'll get them to call you and hung up on me.

Dstore online shopping Australia website is a SCAM! DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING from DSTORE. The address they provided me is different from one of the reviews I saw when I entered the business name and they similar matches came up so that's probably fake too.

And then I came accross this today:

Attention SOUL Fans!

We have recently become aware of several unauthorized retailers who claim to be selling SOUL products for unusually low prices. These are NOT authentic SOUL products...they are FAKE. While they may look very similar upon first glance, these counterfeit products do not meet the high quality standards, regulations and audio performance that SOUL is known for producing. There is a lot of hard work and years of engineering experience backing the true SOUL products, and we do not want you to be ripped off by these impostors selling cheap, copy-cat products. Also, since these fakes are not authentic SOUL products, SOUL cannot guarantee nor provide warranty on these items, which creates a very poor experience for people who are unaware of the issue and fall for the scam. We are actively working to increase awareness and educate our loyal fans on this issue, so please consider the following when you purchase:

If you come across a site claiming to sell SOUL products and the price seems “too good to be true” it is most likely NOT a legitimate SOUL product. Please make sure you are buying from an authorized retailer.
