Frauds

I have received laptops that they claim to be refurbished. They sent doggy DHL return labels. Used that to return the items. It said express delivery. It has been stuck there for weeks and still. After contacting them, they said they need more documentation which tracking clearly shows items has been dropped off! I will never order anything from this doggy seller.

time wasters

time wasters, incompetent support, nonsensical policies. they were supposed to have sent packaging for a trade in a week ago, it hasn't arrived, no on answers their support tickets, and their policy is if you don't receive the packaging you have to package yourself (thus taking responsibility for convenient damage during transit). the packaging was never sent.

Sent my phone to them in immaculate…

Sent my phone to them in immaculate condition and they are trying to say it’s full of marks and scratches when I took pictures of it before I packaged it up so not happy at all and knocked £60 of my offer when I could have sold it on eBay for £300 and they now gave me £175 it’s a joke. Don’t bother using them

Second time lucky - It's a win.

Second time lucky! - Product was as described, refurbished in generic packaging with generic cable as advertised. Option to spread the cost makes the cost easier to absorb on my single income. Previously also ordered a iPad, whilst I have kept it, and doesn’t affect me in daily use, it's the iPad was produced for the Japanese market and is different hardware to UK/EU variants, in practice this is some cellular bands, and hardware camera sounds to comply with Japanese regulatory frameworks.
