Bought an iPad which was supposed to be very good condition for my daughter’s birthday for it to come and not charge I tried multiple chargers and plugs/sockets so I emailed them they and told them all this they then told me to try different chargers I sent the iPad back for them to have it over 2 weeks send it back dead and then have the same problem so I emailed them to tell them for them to then tell me to try different chargers as they have done extensive investigations and made sure it is fully working to then look at the iPad battery usage for it to say it hasn’t been charged or used they whole time they have had it, they told me to send it back so they can have another look at it at this point I just want a refund I do not recommend at all

Dear Miss Nadia Swain,
Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify the timeline and details regarding your order and the subsequent service provided.
Your device was purchased on February 23 and delivered on February 24. We first received your email regarding a charging issue on March 19. At that time, we requested that you ship the device back to us and confirmed we would reimburse the return postage which was refunded to the provided account.
We received the device on March 25 and sent it to our technicians for repair. We informed you that this process typically takes 1 to 8 working days. However, the return dispatch was delayed due to the Easter holiday and an open inquiry you raised with Klarna. As soon as the Klarna inquiry was closed on April 6, we immediately dispatched the device back to you on April 7, fully inspected with the issue resolved.
Regarding your second return, our technicians have confirmed that the device is working correctly and charging normally with multiple chargers. We have provided you with a video as evidence of this functionality.
Furthermore, you noted that there was no usage or charging log visible when you received the device back. This is because once our team completes testing, the device is reset to factory settings, which automatically clears the battery usage history.
Kind Regards
Mobile Direct Team

Seller beware
Seller beware
I sent my handset off which was less than 2 years old and had been protected in a case and screen protector from day one. I was quoted £276 and then only to be considerably knocked as they claimed it was scratched etc. After declining their offer they did increase it a little.
On checking their reviews later it appears to be a common practice 🤔

Dear Customer,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience.
We would like to clarify that, upon receiving your device, our inspection identified visible scratches, which meant it did not meet the condition initially selected (Excellent). Please note that for a device to qualify as Excellent condition, it must not have any visible scratches. In your case, the scratches observed during inspection meant the device did not meet this category, as outlined in the inspection report.
Our valuations are always based on the actual condition of the device at the time of inspection, and we do have photographic evidence available should you wish to review this.
As part of our effort to reach a fair outcome, we initially offered £180, and following further internal review, we increased this to £200 as a goodwill gesture.
We always aim to be transparent and fair in our assessments, and we also take false or misleading claims seriously, as they can unfairly impact our business and reputation.
If you would like to discuss your case further, we would be more than happy to review everything with you and share the supporting details.
Kind regards,
Mobile Direct Team

I’ve had multiple phones from this company that I have bought either for myself or for family as gifts and every time they have been as described, the only issue I have is it says next day delivery, excluding weekends, however it never comes the “next working day” which is annoying but I think is the delivery company they use issue rather than mobile direct themselves

Hi Candiece Dryden,
Thank you for your fantastic feedback and continued support. We’re delighted to hear that every phone you’ve purchased for yourself and your family has been as described.
We also appreciate your honest comments regarding the delivery timing. While we do aim for next working day delivery, delays can occasionally occur with the courier service, and we understand how frustrating that can be. We will certainly keep this in mind as we continue to improve the overall experience.
We truly appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again.

Dear Eduart Llanaj,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We have thoroughly investigated your case regarding Order #13002.
Our records and the photos provided during our communication show that the device sustained significant physical damage to the back glass. As clearly stated in our terms and as explained by our team, physical damage is unfortunately not covered under the 12-month warranty, which is why a full refund could not be authorized.
Despite this, our team tried their absolute best to find a helpful resolution for you. We offered several alternative solutions, including repairing the device at cost or providing a replacement for a small fee of £80 to ensure you still had a functional phone. We are sorry to hear that you chose to decline these offers and decided to repair the device yourself.
Our goal is always to support our customers within our policy guidelines, and those offers remain open if you wish to reconsider. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to reach out to us at info@mobiledirectonline.co.uk.
Kind Regards,
Mobile Direct Team

Very poor sale tactics
Very poor sale tactics. Was quoted £240 when i sent it in was offered £97 as apparently scratched but they refused to send photo of this. Item was in mint condition when i sent it. They make high offer to get you to send phone in then try anything to lower the price.

Dear Customer,
We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
Please note that the initial quoted amount of £240 applies to devices in Excellent condition, meaning there should be no visible scratches or signs of wear. Upon receiving and inspecting your device, it did not meet this criteria. The inspection report of your Apple iPhone 14 Plus was shared with you included images clearly showing visible scratches, and based on this, the device was graded under the Very Good condition category.
Please also note that the initial valuation for your device, based on its condition and current market value, was between £145 and £172. However, as a gesture of goodwill and to maintain a positive experience, we increased our offer to £200, which was accepted.
We truly value you as a customer, and your feedback is important to us as it helps us improve our service.
Kind Regards
