I’ve ended up trusting Mike and the team at Average Dad Tech more than any other phone seller I’ve dealt with. Their service is consistently solid, the communication is clear, and Mike’s honesty... See more

Quick and easy payment/checkout
Quick and easy payment/checkout on this store, all terms and conditions are clear cut which is useful when ordering a phone from overseas, been a long term fan of AD and his store reflects how much of a staple he is in the tech reviewing community :)
Amazing service - warmly recommended
I have ordered three phones (Oppo Find X8 Pro, Vivo X200 Ultra, and Honor Magic v5) from Average Dad, and all occasions the experience has been great.
Although they offer two weeks for a free return, I could return the Oppo after that time had passed (minus re-stocking fee, fully acceptable), and the pre-ordered Vivo was sent on time.
I cannot recognize my experience in that of other reviewers, and I can only warmly recommend buying here; I have thrice, and will do so again.
Update 17/05/2025:
Got a tax invoice above the £40, sent a copy of the invoice, and was reimbursed directly, as promised per policy.
Update 02/10/2025:
Fast forward and I ordered the Honor Magic V5 from ADT. I got the phone but it turned out to be a "Monday sample" and Mike was more than forthcoming to help me sort out and get a replacement device. It was a lengthy discussion, he was top-notch professional, kind, and even gave me a call.
I will definitely buy from ADT/Mike again, and can 100% recommend to anyone to buy from him. Don't believe the haters!
Great YT channel, great service!
Thank You very much for Average Dad Tech to get me an Oppo Find N5 in the Eu!
Awesome product, would be a fail to miss out because its not official here.

Great service as always from the average tech store
I've ordered three items from the store in the past year two phones and a pen and I had no problems at all, five star⭐
Customs duty problem
Unfortunately still had to pay The customs duties, even though it was written that they were included in the purchase price.

Ordered an Mi Pad 7 on 21
Ordered an Mi Pad 7 on 21. April. Today we got 5. Mai and nothing. Nothing arrived, tracking wasn't even given through mail, I had to ask and the package is still on its way, but where it is, nothing. Any feedback from Average Dad Tech, nothing. I hope I get it but delivery time is really bad right now.
UPDATE: 16. Mai, still no delivery.
UPDATE: funny, got my money today, after 2.5 months because asked a friend to help me, as he knows you. Don't know, when I would got my money without the friend. And funny, never mentioned it. I could send you the screenshot of all mails and you even answered some. As I didn't want to bother you, I asked after weeks and than 2 weeks later and more. You said, it is lost, than it is back sending, than I get a refund when it arrives in China. Which was weeks ago, so don't know, how long it takes to get back to China, but if you like, I post the mails you wrote as answers on my mails.
UPDATE: 14.11 I waited for months and only after I asked a friend who had more contact to you, you gave me a refund. Sorry, why should I delete this review. It is my experience with your shop. And I can show you my messages, I wrote min. 5 mails and you even answered.

Great service and best price
Great service and more important best price. Delivery without any problems straight from China. Interesting youtube channel with a good, clean explanation of everything for idiots like me 😉
First Class
Great service from start to finish, delivery of Vivo X200 pro was in good time and I was kept informed of progress etc.. Gorgeous phone at a great price, many thanks and will be back again.
Amazing customer support
Amazing customer support, Brilliant prices, Can’t fault in any way and highly recommend. Buy with confidence.
A great store, great people.
I've ordered two flagship phones from AD in February and both were very fast taking only 3-4 days for delivery!
The global Honor Magic 7 RSR was even a preorder and I actually got it a day before European launch date! I was mind blown!
This is a small business, it's run by a small group of honest and close to the heart people. I talked to Mike, the owner, and he was very responsive and patient with my long inquiries.
I recommend this store to friends and family, and anyone online for that matter.
Was skeptical before buying
I was skeptical before purchasing from the average dad store. Now I'm happy i did. The phone I purchased arrived factory sealed, unlike wonda mobile and giztop who unseal Chinese phones and advertise it as brand new because they supposedly have to install Google playstore. Will purchase from average dad store again and would recommend others to do the same.
Great experience
My experience was great. Shipping was fast and I received a discount. Honor wouldn't ship to my country, so all thanks to averagedad store.
No issues
I've ordered 2 phones from AD Tech and had absolutely no issues what so ever. As of now they have been professional and polite in my experience.
I purchased a used Oppo N5 global phone…
I purchased a used Oppo N5 global phone from the Average Dad Tech site. The phone was only a few weeks old and had been returned to the store as it was no longer required. After contacting Mike and and asking a few questions about condition and warranty (It still comes with a full year) etc, I ordered the phone and received it the next day before 1pm. Mike was really helpful and very quick to respond to any questions and the phone was delivered much quicker than I expected. Highly recommended.

I just bought another phone from this store, unbelievable prices, support from AD is from another level... Well done!
Best price for non-global phones…
Best price for non-global phones period!
Very quick shipping, received the phone within 7 days, and if anything's wrong, the answer isn't far away :)
Thanks!!!

I have purchased several phones from AD Tech store and they have delivered each one on time and on one occasion ahead of the agreed time. In addition to purchasing the phones, AD has provided tech support when ever needed.
Highly recommended
