AVOID THIS COMPANY

Terrible, I received my OnePlus 13 but was a Chinese phone flashed with Global ROM which can only be updated manually by unlocking by the bootloader and flash which risks bricking the device. When asked, they denied it and said I was sent a global ROM OnePlus 13 which is simply not true. On their website, it never said it was Chinese ROM it said Global. Luckily, my bank stepped in and refunded the money through dispute... Still they tell me to cancel the dispute, when asked can I return the item they refuse and accuse me of fraud... REALLY DODGY COMPANY, STAY AWAY!

UPDATE (18 Feb): They opened a money claim against me, after mediation they offered for me to finally return the item as they were ordered by the court. I would still say don't buy from them as many others have had similar experiences recieving the wrong item.

Do not buy from them...Scam company

Re-Posting my review from September as the first one got removed for some reason. Under no circumstances should you give your money to this SCAM company. I payed £529 on 25th July 2025 for a Oneplus 13 phone. At the time of ordering it said i would receive the phone by August 2nd. Two weeks went by and no contact from the company and no phone was delivered. So emailed them and said i wanted to cancel the order as two weeks is too long to wait. So when you cancel the order they want you to fill out a pdf return form with your bank details on it, which is strange for a start. So did this and got a reply saying she had received the form and the refund would take 7-14 days to show in my account and 21 days at the latest. I waited 14 days and no refund, so emailed them and they said the refund can take 21 days, so waited a further week, and still no refund. And during this time i was emailing them and they kept feeding me complete rubbish in the emails. So after 29 days i put a dispute in with my bank to get the money back. When i contacted them again to ask where the was the refund, they wanted me to cancel the dispute with my bank and then give him proof i had done so, and then stated he would start the return refund process again which would take 3 weeks. Then he tries to tell you that you will wait 180 days for the bank to refund your money, which is more lies as i was refunded by my bank in a week. Also the phone number they give on the website does not work and has not worked for months, so there is a red flag for a start. All i can say is they are scammers as they had my money from 25th of july up until a few days after september 8th and provided no phone and did not refund me the money. Please people DO NOT buy from this company as you wont get what you paid for and then they wont refund you.

I wish I had read the reviews

I wish I had read the reviews - do not trust!

I ordered what was advertised as a brand new UK OnePlus 13, but the one they sent was used and turned out to be a Chinese version. The box had already been opened, and they denied it despite photos.

When I contacted them about it, they argued instead of admitting the mistake. After several messages, they eventually agreed that I could return the phone. I sent it back with tracking, and it was confirmed delivered. Despite that, I still haven’t received a refund.

The whole process has been frustrating and time-consuming. They’ve been unhelpful and unreliable throughout. Do not trust!

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and don't shy away from it, as we understand that we can't be perfect.

You said that you purchased an item from us and received it? How were you scammed? Common sense should apply here.

However, we have checked our records and cannot find your order or order number. We believe this information is incorrect.

Regards,
Jamie

1. Our OnePlus listing never stated that it was a UK model.
2. Our listing is clear and additional information is legibly displayed on the product page.
3. If you claim to have bought from us and selected 'new', then we delivered a brand new product.
4. We use DHL, UPS and FedEx; they will never open or tamper with the box, so you must have opened it.

That being said, we have a detailed process for refunds, which are processed in due time.

However, looking at your profile, we can clearly state that you did not purchase from us, as your location says 'AU'.

That being said, we are reachable on our platform and no further reply will be made on a third party platform.

Terrible experience

Terrible company. They claim phones are in full working order but then when you use them there are multiple issues like speaker not working or phone just turning off completely out of the blue. No doubt the devices have bred poorly repaired with parts uncertified by Apple. This business shouldn’t be allowed to operate in the UK. They claim to have a phone number but you can’t even contact it from a UK phone even with the correct dialling code. Thank god for companies like Trustpilot for shedding light on such poor practices.

Very dodgy practices

Very dodgy practices. I bought a Oneplus 13 from this company which in fairness is in full working order and the spec is as described. My issue is the way this company behaves. they say on the website its a global version of the phone. It isn't, its a chinese phone that has been flashed with a Global Rom. this means you can't update the phone unless you are confident with manual flashing and you would likely need to root the phone causing real difficulty with banking apps etc. I tried to call the phone number listed on the website, which doesn't exist (again dodgy). they did reply via email, when i pointed out that i wasn't happy with the lies on the product description they said it is accurate. I then left a review on the their website to try and warn others which they again said the product description is correct. the same day suddenly 3 other reviews, (which I would say are very very likely to be fake) popped up to push the rating back up to over 4 stars. Again, in order to be balanced, from my experience some of the other reviews are harsh, my tracking etc was great, the phone arrived on time, its spec is as listed, they are just doing some dodgy practices that i think people need to be wary of. fake reviews almost definitely and chinese phones being pushed as global with 4 years of updates you simply won't get unless you know how to root a phone and can manually install via flashing etc.

Thank you for sharing, we appreciate you leaving a review. A couple of points to clarify

1. All reviews are left only by verified users and we have no control over those. Your review also has a verified buyers badge (Should we say it was fake and dodgy?)

2. You were not scammed, you received the one plus 13 you ordered.

3. Nothing is dodgy, many of our buyers purchase the oneplus 13 and are very very satisfied

4. Not all leave a review and we understand satisfied buyers rarely leave a review.

5. We have a clear notice on the product page and yes for this
OnePlus 13 you need to update manually, hence a notice placed.

6. All buyers get notified to leave a review and comment.

7. We certainly do not deserve a 1star, you know that, because the item you received is 100% new and pristine except for the updates which you Must do by your self "DIY".

No further response is required on an external platform here.

We once again appreciate your review, we will take it into consideration and improve.

Worst Company Ever!!!!

I am having the worst experience with this company. I still haven’t received my refund. The phone number advertised doesn’t work and they take ages to get back to you. It’s been nearly a month since I requested a refund (phone wasn’t even sent out) and I’m still waiting. It’s a joke. Not even getting my full refund, as they charge 10% restock charge on the website!!! I will never recommend this company to anyone.
