We had a very quick delivery of the phone but a couple of teething issues. The touch sensor at the edges of the screen was not sensitive enough and we couldn't register an Apple ID. I called Lovefone... See more

Unacceptable experience

I ordered a refurbished 6+ iphone and the two-day delivery resulted in a parcel-is-delayed-in-traffic non-delivery (for three more days), which ultimately led me to cancel the produce purchased. Additionally, it’s been the 4th day after cancelling my order and no refund has been done yet. Unacceptable experience.

Hi Jose, when you contacted us by phone we immediately investigated the delay with DPD. We were informed that it was due to exceptionally high volumes associated with Black Friday. You requested a refund due to the delay which we issued immediately and informed you that it would take 3 working days for the funds to land in your account. The refund is due to land today, if you don't receive the funds today please get in touch and we will contact our payments provider.

Getting more than I bargained for... amazing

Like a lot of people I was looking for a refurbished product as a present for a family member (my mum) for Christmas. It can always feel like a bit of a compromise buying refurbished. You can have cheap but not great condition, you can have up-to-date but not a great price or condition, you can have great condition but not a great price. It's hard to find that great balance of a great refurbished phone at a good price. At least that's what I thought. I stumbled on LoveFone after an obsessive search to find the best deal and I'm amazed at what I found.

I found an iPhone 6s on the site, in fantastic condition, with a new iFixit battery installed with warranty (one of the weak points in any pre-loved phone), a tempered glass screen protector and a new charge cable AND a 2 year warranty for the same price as a new iPhone SE with 1 year warranty. I think that is pretty amazing. Delivery was excellent. DPS, their courier, gave me a 1 hour delivery window so I knew when it was arriving. Everything was boxed up properly and the phone securely housed in an inflatable sleeve.

For me, buying refurbished has never felt like a better proposition since finding LoveFone. If you're on a budget, looking for a genuine bargain or just a bit green-minded and want to ensure older tech has a proper lifespan in the market then you should give them a try.

Off the back of this purchase I'll be recycling my old iPhone 6 with them and upgrading to a newer model in the coming months and getting my partner to do the same. And I'll be doing that feeling confident I'm getting a great phone and a great service at a great price. 10/10

Satisfied customer

My phone arrived on time, and so far so good, everything as it should be. Condition as new. Great service, very helpful staff. I was apprehensive about buying a phone on line, but have been very pleased with the service I have received from Lovefone.

Excellent service, pristine phone exactly as described

We have been very impressed by the service received from Lovefone. Their website was clear and informative and we thought their grading of phones was more helpful than some other suppliers of refurbished phones. We purchased a 'pristine' iPhone 6s and it is pristine - not a mark on it. We ordered on a Saturday evening, had an email to say the phone was being shipped on the following Monday and received it Wednesday morning.

The phone was sent by Royal Mail 24hr tracked service requiring signature on delivery. We received numerous emails & texts from Royal Mail however most of these were inaccurate and unhelpful. For example, we received messages at 8:08 am and 10:30 am saying the parcel had been delivered and signed for when it had definitely not! After some anxious phone calls to Lovefone and Royal Mail it appeared that RM were having some 'IT issues'! Roxana at Lovefone was extremely apologetic and helpful, she made calls to Royal Mail and called us back and kept us informed. The phone did arrive later that morning and was exactly as described: a pristine iPhone 6s, well packaged in protective, rigid bubble pack and a strong outer box. The phone was supplied with a screen protector, brand new (boxed) Kanex ChargeSync USB cable with Lightning Connector and the little tool needed to open the Sim tray.

In summary, we had excellent service from Lovefone and are delighted with the phone. The delivery service from Royal Mail was disappointing (no fault of Lovefone - apparently they had switched to Royal Mail after being let down by another courier service) and we encouraged Lovefone to complain to RM.

Excellent service.

Firstly there were a few problems with my delivery due to problems with their distributor but these were resolved as quickly as possible and beyond my expectations. I was kept informed at all stages and would definitely recommend them to family and friends.

I would absolutely recommend avoiding Lovefone.

I purchase a refurbished iphone 6 from them...which arrived locked to another users apple ID account. When I called them back to try and sort it they claimed that it was my fault, refused to refund me or replace the phone. They are still claiming that.

Absolutely outrageous, I've never received such terrible service from a company, where I was blamed for their technical issue.

We've taken this issue very seriously on our side and done a full investigation as to how your device could arrived iCloud locked to an unknown hotmail account. All our devices are sourced iCloud free from the operators and each device goes through 4 separate testing procedures with our unique testing account which is removed prior to shipping. We also checked all system logs and interviewed technicians that came in contact with the device.

We did not claim the issue was your fault, our request was simply that you check on your side if the device could have been tampered when during the 4 days it was left unattended prior to you having received it.

In the end we have concluded our investigation and offered you a refund or replacement device. We're certain that the device could not have been shipped iCloud locked but in the absence of any other information will take responsibility for the issue.
