Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 455 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Consumers frequently praise the exceptionally helpful and friendly staff for delivering fast, efficient assistance and resolving various technical problems smoothly. People consistently note that the team provides reliable guidance, ensures excellent customer support, and creates a welcoming environment throughout every transaction. However, some customers also noted that initial price quotes are frequently reduced once devices arrive at the office for inspection. Reviewers mentioned unexpected deductions attributed to minor screen scratches or weak batteries, which resulted in frustrating final valuations and rejected offers. A few people additionally reported poor communication and additional fees required to get their items returned if they declined the revised price.

Sent this Company two phones that I considered to be in good order, they were protected all there working lives with me. Sent them off in good faith only to be told that both phones had faults they then decided to drop the initial payment stated. This to me stinks, they are trying to cover their postage by dropping the original price quoted. I suggest looking else ware for doing business.

Not happy

Not happy! Was initially offered £118 for my phone and when it was "inspected" it apparently had screen burn (absolute rubbish) and scratches beyond repair! There was 1 small scratch on the screen I can assure you!
They offered me £25 for it... And then when I refused, offered me a final £40so basically £78 less than they quoted... They wanted £10 to return the phone back to me. NEVER AGAIN!!

Put my phone in that was in excellent condition (no scratches anywhere and never been dropped) and they downgraded due to a low speaker.my recommendation to the company is to produce a report to prove because it feels like they can just provide no detail and already have your phone so puts you in a difficult situation.

They will find fault

Despite checking before sending phone, was offered £40 less than original quote. Brand new S25 unboxed but never used. Immaculate condition. I doubled checked with their web chat bot whether it would still qualify as new and was told yes. So was disappointed to receive a £40 lower offer for it being unboxed. Would I use again? Would look around more first
