Hi Eric,

Thank you for your review.

As we deal in used goods, the products brought to us for sale are thoroughly tested on set parameters to ensure these are genuine and are in a fully working & saleable condition, as we do not deal in fake/counterfeit products. Please accept my apologies as your item slipped past our testing measures.

I've noticed that feedback has already been shared with the store's management for corrective measures so such instances can be avoided going forward.

I appreciate you returning the item to us for a full refund and if given a chance, we'll aim to serve you better.

Should you wish to buy another controller or have any other concerns, feel free to write to us through our support page www.webuy.com with the subject "TP - I was given a fake product that…" and I will be happy to help.

Regards,
Ramson.

I have noticed that along with feedback forwarded to the sending store management for internal evaluation, my colleague has replied to your email suggesting a solution.

Should you need further assistance or have any concerns, please write back on the same email thread and we will be happy to help.

Service was fine - controller was filthy

Service was fine, controller got there fine but I don't think they could have sent me a more filthy product. I understand that they have to get rid of the undesirables and that it's a 2nd hand product, but they couldn't even give it a wipe down?

Hi Aidan,

Thank you for your review.

Being a second-hand retailer, we ensure that all times are checked and they are given a quick wipe for hygienic reasons and to enhance their presentability for sale. I would like to extend my apologies for this lapse, and this review will be forwarded as feedback to the respective store to avoid such recurrence.

To assist you further, I have sent an email to your registered email ID requesting additional details. Please reply soon and I will be happy to look into this.

The controller joysticks were very worn and we had to replace the joystick covers. Too expensive for what we received.

Hi,

Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear the condition of the controller did not meet your expectations.

As we deal in pre-owned items, they are graded as per their condition and accessories and you can find more information about our grading system here: https://tinyurl.com/mtz53czb. Thus, we do buy in and sell controllers with worn analog or joysticks as long as the wear does not impede the functions of the controllers.

Pricing is also influenced by a range of factors, including demand, availability, grade, and colour.

If you’re not satisfied with the item, we offer a 14-day unwanted returns period for online orders. Full details, including our FREE returns service, can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/yyykmejf.

If you’d like to discuss this further or need any assistance, please feel free to contact us via the support page on the CeX website (ie.webuy.com) using “TP - The controller joysticks” as the subject line. I’ll be happy to help and ensure a smoother experience.

Regards,
Saanchi

Ordered. Had to return. Smooth sailing as always.

Ordered an item online which arrived tracked and well wrapped. Had to return it as it was slow and not fit for purpose despite good standby time. Returned in store and process was easy as i had the order number available. Refund was also quick. I find that the more reasonable I am with my requests and the more information I have to hand, the smoother any transactions go. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful as always, i never have a bad experience at the newbridge store. Or any store for that matter.

Dear Brendan,

Thank you for your review.

I'm sorry to learn that the battery pack received was faulty & please accept my apologies.

Because we deal in second-hand goods, as a standard process, each product brought to us for sale is thoroughly tested on set parameters to ensure it is in a fully working & saleable condition in line with our grading and testing guidlines as we sell these further with a 5 year warranty. Considering the nature of electronics, faults may occur even after they are bought-in or sold further.

Please rest assured, that feedback has been shared with the store's management for corrective measures so such instances can be avoided going forward.

Looking at our records, I noticed that your item was refunded in line with our return policy. Hope this has been resolved for you.

In case you need any additional help, please write to us via our support page & we'll certainly help.

Regards,
Rahul

Hi Eoin,

Thank you for your review.

Being in the business of pre-owned goods, the items may come with scratches / visible usage signs. Based on their overall cosmetic condition along with other factors, they are accordingly graded.

Our records show that the VR headset was sold under grade C, therefore, they are likely to have signs of wear & tear on them, however it should function as expected.

In case you are unhappy, it can be returned as unwanted within 14 days via post or to nearby stores and we will be happy to have it processed as per our online returns policy: https://tinyurl.com/4ee3bckk.

If you require further assistance, feel free to contact us via our support page and we will be happy to help you out.

Regards,
Ashwin
