I purchased a hoverboard from HoverBoards.com on June 26. I was charged for the product on that date through PayPal and was sent a confirmation of order, account registration etc on that day. On July 2nd they sent an email saying they were shipping July 10-13 and I would be sent a UPS tracking number in the next few days. I never received a tracking number. Instead, on July 18 they sent an email stating the item was backordered and now delivering Aug 10. They gave two options: 1. Keep the existing order or 2. Cancel the order and receive a full refund. I requested the order be cancelled via reply email. On July 23, they sent an email stating they had another color of my item shipping immediately. I replied via return email to go ahead as long as the item would arrive by July 31 since we were moving then so our address would change. On Aug 10, they sent an email stating they their Wisconsin warehouse had recently resumed full operations after having limited staffing due to covid-19 restrictions. They indicated shipping Aug 24.
This company doesn’t seem to read return emails and they do not respond to them. I tried calling and a recording referred me back to their website. If I check my account status, it shows order "complete" on their website. Only the UPS label has been created. No shipping has occurred. My shipping address has changed and I stated that in several emails to them. I suspect that I have been strung along.

Hoverboards.com There is no address, they do not answer their phone calls nor answer emails. I purchased a hoverboard from them. My granddaughter was only able to ride it one day and the charger or the battery failed to work. I contacted the company and did get an email back asking a couple of questions. They determined that is was the charger but said it could be the battery. They told me they would get a charger in the mail and a tracking number but that never happened. I’ve called, emailed, left messages, etc. etc. No calls back, nor emails. This is a scam and I’m out $170.00 plus an unset kid. Do not purchase from them!!!
