Wish I'd read the reviews here before…

Wish I'd read the reviews here before sending off my phone. One they received it they messaged to say the speaker needed serviced and the screen was damaged resulting in £40 less rhan their original offer price. The speakers worked perfectly and the screen was in mint condition. Lesson learned, I'll never use them again.

The gentlemen were really helpful and knowledgeable. They supported me through choosing a new phone and setting up my new phone. I’ve used them for years for my children’s phones. I can’t recommend them enough! Fantastic service.

Disappointed with service

First time dealing with the company. I got less than quoted on their website, they wasted 24 hours before telling me I needed to provide proof of ID, and only did so after I chased my order, and wasn't mentioned at any point during the order process, raised this with the company, no mentioned of the missing money, no offer to return my phone which I would happily do!

Halved my original offer

Made an offer for my phone, then offered me half the amount originally quoted. Said there was damage, I took photos and videos of my phone prior to sending. They could not provide me with pics of apparent damage.

Tried to knock the price

Sent them a brand new phone that had been out of the box but never used. They tried to knock me for £50 for a "fault", reduced to £20 when I pointed out it had never been used. Took the money because I couldn't be bothered to argue. Not impressed!

I would give no stars if i could

I would give no stars if i could. I was quoted £320 for my phone but was then told it was only worth 200 as it had dents (which it didn't and I had pics to prove it) and the battery wasn't as strong ( that i can accept) told them I didn't accept the over was then offered £210 I rejected it again explain everything and that I had found somewhere else that would pay £275 but was then told my final offer was £240 and if I declined again I'd have to pay £10 admin fee. What a joke. I sold it to them in the end as it was getting too stressful I wouldn't recommend selling here at all.
