questions about the phone

I haven't bought anything yet, but is this website Australian, and is it trustworthy to buy from? Is the 'good' condition iPhone XR good quality?

Hi Amelia,

We are a Melbourne-based and Australian owned company. All of our devices are genuine, network unlocked and backed by our 30-day money-back guarantee and the 6-month warranty.

You can phone us in business hours to speak to us if you'd like reassurance that we're real and Australian: 1300 235 532.

The good condition iPhone XR will be 100% functional and show moderate signs of wear and past use :)

Best,
Josh

I bought an iPhone X from cellect and…

I bought an iPhone X from cellect and when the first arrived it wasn’t charging properly so I had to send it back to them which was kind of annoying. However, they paid for the shipping to and from my house, returned it relatively quickly and sent a cheap case and screen protector for free with the phone when they sent it back. Would have been 5 starts if it wasn’t for the initial battery problem.

Wrote to get a receipt and never heard back. Phone also has technical issues, like connectivity via bluetooth and phone line constantly breaks up

Hi Jake,

I'm sorry you haven't heard back from us and your phone is experiencing faults.
I have sent you an email separately to arrange for a tax invoice & return to be sent to you.

Best,
Josh

Consistent

Second phone ordered with Cellect now and really happy both times (about six months apart). Easy order process, good price, condition as it claims to be, delivered when said it would be.
