I today received my (cough.. \"Lacie\" cough..!) 32Gb USB Key from Mighty Deals supplier \"Vivacity Stores Ltd\" which arrived in packaging no too dissimilar to this Pen Drive
The image was sourced from a bulk import website and details show that the suppliers to be a \"Shezhen Topkeen Industry Co Ltd\" and so I decided to google the company name.
Near the top of the listings I found the following interesting article about Fake Flash Driveswhich suggest that that usb drives supplied by \"Shezhen Topkeen Industry Co Ltd\" have the potential to be engineered to show that the drive has a larger capacity than it actually has, it also suggests a poor built quality.
Although I appreciate that Mighty Deals have taken some efforts to correct the problems surrounding the supply of the 32GB USB by offering refunds to unsatisfied customers I'm sure that there are a number of those customers who will simply not have the time or inclination to repackage and return their device and would rather \"write off\" the whole situation which in these circumstances make Mighty Deals and their suppliers \"Quids in\".
With this in mind I would recommend that if Mighty Deals would like to improve their reputation then perhaps it would be wise for them to correctly vet their suppliers before even considering posting deals on their website.
Also, as in this unfortunate circumstance, I would also consider it good practice for a reputable company to exceed it's commitment to not only fully reimburse it's customers but also to make a gesture of goodwill to compensate any inconvenience caused?
Needless to say I will be returning my USB Drive at my earliest convenience and will report back on how long it takes to receive my full refund.

I don't think Mighty Deals are a Scam, but as with any of these kind of sites, the companies they have deals up for may be dodgy. There's a canvas one that Kelkoo Select advertise that aren't.. or weren't a VAT registered business AFAIK.

I’m obviously very concerned by some of the comments on this thread and clearly need to do a much better job of demonstrating that not only are the vast majority of customers completely satisfied with our service, but where from time to time we don’t get it right, we do everything we can to rectify the situation in a timely and satisfactory manner. Again the vast majority of these are also resolved to much satisfaction.
I just want to reply to some of the prior comments and update you all on what has been done to address some of these issues.
32gb USB Key All customers who would have seen a branded image and promotion (URL etc) which was incorrect for the 32GB Key USB Flash Memory Stick have been contacted and offered a full refund including the postage cost, once the goods have been returned back to us. Admittedly we have been slow at reacting in this instance but many customers were completely happy with what was being provided so we were treating it on a case by case basis. We understand that the un-branded product has the same functionality as the 32Gb Memory Key and any customers who are happy to keep the item(s) ordered are welcome to do so. Please let us know if there is anything else you feel we can do on this matter.
Been Scamed With regards to our merchant Sonic UK, we do not in any way condone any of the responses from the merchant and have offered both a full apology and refund, some time ago. Please let us know if there is anything further we can do and we would be happy to help. This is by no means happening all the time.
Refunds We did encounter a technical glitch with our payment system which resulted in a slight delay in refunding some of our customers. This was communicated to our customers at the time and is now resolved, ensuring refunds are issued in accordance with our terms and conditions. Please do make us aware if you feel any issues you have regarding a refund have yet to be resolved, please send the details through to myself and the team @ customer support.
The cinema tickets deal – Cineworld for £4.70 This is simply a really good deal that has been negotiated exclusively for MD customers.
Deal Tracking I am not sure what urls have been being posted regarding our deals, however our normal url string carries no personal referral information whatsoever. I am assuming that it’s the deal ID that causing the alarm bells (/national/Activities/1-Cineworld-Ticket-for-4.70/541)? Any feedback would be appreciated.
We understand that having let you down in some areas recently. However, we would like to assure you that this failure was very much the exception and not the rule: the purpose of this post is to stand up and apologise for any inconvenience caused and to say how sincerely sorry we are for any grief we have caused some of our customers. As you might expect, we are working extremely hard to ensure that for the future our customer service is consistently exceptional and something we can all take pride in delivering.
Many thanks
Fiona MD Customer Support "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/14022337","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"deleted527922"},"datePublished":"2012-03-20T17:21:42.000Z","text":"I've just ordered a set of stainless steel lights from Mighty Deals.

I've contacted both Notanother.gift.com and mighty deals on several occasions but as yet, have received no reply. One of these android tablets is a gift for my Mother-in-Laws 60th and I feel sick to the stomach that this gift will not arrive in time, and if it does arrive (after reading the reviews) it will be a cheap copy from China!! I'd really appreciate a refund right now. I guess this offer was simply too good to be true and I'm gutted that I fell for it.Regards

The P&P advertised by mighty deals was £2.50 per hamper which was fine. When I went to place order the site charged £4.96 per box . This was disappointing as I had the print out to confirm this on each order. I sent an email to Mighty Deals and did not receive a good response. I spoke to Stuart at the Gift Hamper who was really pleasant and agreed to give me a discount on the goods, however I am still trying to contact them to get my hampers delivered! I called Mighty deals 3 times and left my phone numbers to make a complaint and it is now over 1 week and still no one has got back to me.I will never use them again!Customer service is really slow and poor
