Well worth it! If anyone sends anything in to them and waits possibly an extra day for payment- don't panic. They appear to be extremely popular with buying second-hand tech, presumably because they o... See more

Surprisingly smooth and easy service to use

This was a surprisingly smooth and easy service to use. I packed up my sale contents, got them picked up by the Royal Mail, and then received payment a couple of days once they had arrived and had been assessed. Would definitely use again!

Disappointing experience

Gone 11pm at night I received text images of an item with scratches and damage, this was not the item I sent. It did not match all the pictures I had taken before sending.

I then dug further into the negative reviews of this company, which I should have done first. It was a common theme, pictures sent of a different product very late at night. I also read how weeks later people still do not have their item back.

I accepted the low ball offer that they altered my quote to, only because I was only going to donate the item anyway and after reading the negative reviews, I did not want to get into a long drawn out battle.

I will donate the payment they made in the end, its the only way I can make myself feel better about being stupid enough to be scammed.

Edit to add, this is not a fake review, but due to the behaviour of this 'company' behind the scenes, I am keeping my info. I am though willing to share the order number and screenshots of the late night texts with Trust Pilot.

No one has to take my review on board, all I can offer is what happened to me, and finding out I was not alone in that. Id be a bit more wary of the "positive" reviews in the future.

FAKE REVIEW

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Complete scam beware!!

This is a complete scam. This Company do not operate professionally, they are dishonest and fraudsters. I sent an ipad magic keyboard to them. They text me after 11pm one evening asking me to call them. I immediately messaged them back where they started to dispute the model no sent to them. I provided proof of purchase but they seeming ignored it. I requested the immediate payment or return of my item. 3 weeks later I have had neither. I have reported this company to trading standards and will be raising a claim against them to recover the money owed for the item they have retained. Please beware. For clarity my order number is 133080488.
