Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 1,075 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Consumers frequently mention that the refurbished mobile phones arrive very quickly, are securely packaged, and precisely match their online descriptions and general expectations. Many people deeply appreciate the responsive customer support and consistently state that the devices function smoothly just like brand new items right out of the box. However, some customers also noted unexpected delivery delays and occasional difficulties when trying to communicate with the support team for tracking updates. A few other buyers experienced unforeseen technical faults with their purchased electronics very soon after delivery, requiring additional customer assistance or professional repairs.

Thisfr company was recommended by a close friend

This company was recommended by a friend and I took a chance to buy refurbished phone from them.
I chose the phone and was surprised by the speed and care they took to mail it. Having a slight issue with the battery, their consideration in answering and offering advice and options was professional, friendly and kind.
I would recommend this company and I would buy from them again. . Especially
Mentioning Ashish who replied to my concerns within a day.

I have an iPhone that I bought from you and I need an upgrade, such as iPhone 15 pro max. Now, there is 30 days to accept returns and I’ve been nearly 2 weeks trying to do this, considering I’m going to pay more money for and updated phone. I’m now getting frustrated waiting on a reply?

Stop bothering people

Phone ordered late Tuesday evening, arrived Thursday morning EXACTLY as advertised. I could not be happier with the phone i received and the rapid speed of delivery. Zero complaints = repeat business from me, so i will be back in the future without a doubt.

EDIT: The charging cable that came with the phone was faulty. They also are very pushy about the free 30 day insurance i will never take on, for obvious reasons. Lots of emails and text messages as reminders to activate. Very very off-putting and subsequently will not be returning as a customer.

Oh, and they keep asking me to review my purchase with them. AFTER i reviewed my purchase with them.......
