Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 1,075 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Consumers frequently mention that the refurbished mobile phones arrive very quickly, are securely packaged, and precisely match their online descriptions and general expectations. Many people deeply appreciate the responsive customer support and consistently state that the devices function smoothly just like brand new items right out of the box. However, some customers also noted unexpected delivery delays and occasional difficulties when trying to communicate with the support team for tracking updates. A few other buyers experienced unforeseen technical faults with their purchased electronics very soon after delivery, requiring additional customer assistance or professional repairs.

More Information Needed

The site would not allow us to select a new battery. No information as to why. Fully charged battery in the phone would not even give us enough time to set the phone up.
Called and the only option was to get a refund and order a whole new phone with a new battery now that you have them in stock.
I would have preferred more information on first order and would have opted to wait for the phone so it had a new battery.
