Very poor service and attitude

Very poor, took ages to arrive then had to pay import charges. When it arrived it was the wrong item (smaller memory). Attempted to contact them on numerous occasions, was fobbed off and eventually I was just ignored. Paid on my credit card so got them involved and payment reversed under section 75. Company was advised the phone was ready to collect as I was not to pay postage myself. Company tried to reverse that decision twice (amazon pay and mastercard) and both times it was upheld so they took me to small claims court for fees and the phone cost. I agreed to mediation, they didn't turn up. I provided all of my evidence, they didn't. Eventually it was struck out of court. Not a nice experience to go through at all but justice prevailed.

Response to phones refurb response below-
1)I didn't decline any offer you made me as I wasn't sent any offer to compensate for the wrong item, this clearly demonstrates the poor service and communication from your end.
2) I was supposed to get a partial refund for the import charge but didn't - you don't address this in your response.
3)You didn't refund me for the phone my credit card did under section 75.
4) The phone is ready to be collected (as you have already been told by 3 parties plus the court) but I am not paying any more money out.

Dear Helen,

Thank you for your correspondence. We've noticed your review and have promptly addressed it. Our team contacted you regarding the return of the item after your refund was issued.

As of now, we haven't received the item back, despite our clear communication and the availability of our return address. You mentioned dissatisfaction with the attitude, but we've maintained transparent communication throughout. While we offered a rebate, we respect your decision to decline it.

We kindly request the return of the item or, if you prefer, you may keep it. However, retaining the item without returning the refund is considered a fraudulent practice from a customer perspective. We eagerly await the return of our unit.

Best regards,

I needed an iPad with a budget-friendly price tag and very specific requirements for work. Based on recommendations from acquaintances, we turned to this company and have not regretted it. At all stages of cooperation with the store, from consultation to receiving the product, we were left with very good impressions. We're satisfied with the purchase, have been using it for several months, and everything is excellent.

Didn’t ship my order

Didn’t ship my order. Customer service sent nonsense messages and screenshots of irrelevant things. Seemed very dodgy. Have requested a refund and even if it comes I’d never use them again.

It seems there may be some misunderstanding. Our policies are transparent, and we've noticed some inconsistencies in your purchasing history. Just to clarify, if a payment is placed on hold, we do not proceed with shipping until that issue is resolved, as stated clearly in our terms.

We offer various payment options, allowing you to choose the one that suits you best during checkout. Additionally, we have processed refunds promptly on two separate occasions, without any delays or issues.

You are always welcome to shop with us, as we continue to provide products of exceptional quality.

We’re glad to see you've made a second purchase, and we hope this experience meets your expectations. It may be a good time to update your previous comments accordingly.

As you can finally confirm there is and was nothing doggy.

Best regards,

I bought a phone for my brother, I was undecided between three phones (didn't know which one to choose), but the chat specialist told me all the details about each of the phones. The consultants treat customers well, they are professionals! Great, everything was liked!

Dear friends

Dear friends, my review will be about my recent purchase of an iPhone 13 Pro from this store, and everything is great because it's very profitable here, everything happens promptly. Guys, if needed, they will advise you on what's better or more suitable for your needs. The phone is very fast compared to my previous one. Here was also purchased my old iPhone XR, surprisingly it is still in good working condition, everything works fine, my dad uses it. So, I recommend this site, it will help a lot and you won't be disappointed.

My husband ordered poppy beech from this site; he was attracted by the low price, and there was plenty to choose from. Well, in fact, it turned out to be a pretty high-quality product. We have no complaints about it and, in principle, this is an original product. They sent it right away but it took almost eight days.

Shocking experience

Shocking experience.

Bought refurbished Apple air pods 2nd gen.
Ordered at the start of March with the estimated delivery date 5-7th March.
Straight away I had my order confirmed and that delivery would arrive within those dates.
Upon the 10th March I had heard nothing, not even that my order had been dispatched or any tracking info.
I then resumed to contact phones refurb through the phone number on the their website, which then cut off straight away as the number was not recognised. I messaged them through instagram & email and nobody got back to me.
Around the 2 week mark, I contacted my bank who confirmed that the funds from my account had been sent to them and at their end, they had failed to process my order.
Because I had an issued a refund, 2 weeks later a customer service advisor from phones refurb, responded to my email saying my transaction had been unauthorised, if this was the case this would’ve appeared their end within 1-3 days of the purchase, and any normal functions business would’ve contacted the customer to let them know about this. So by this point it had made it clear that this company does not do business well.
I asked to speak to an advisor on the phone through this email conversation which I was then ignored. Further from this I asked for them to show my account details showing this purchase transaction had been unauthorised.. they replied with a pixelated cropped out screenshot of some bogus text saying ‘your transaction has been unauthorised with the recipient name coloured over.. which puts no evidence to my refund query.

If you happen to play it safe and check trustpilot before purchasing an item from this company, I’d think again and look elsewhere

I've been using the store for a long time, after many purchases, I had to ask for a refund for the first time - the headphones didn't fit. Sent them back. They exchanged everything for other ones, and they are absolutely functional. I will continue ordering from them.

A store with high-quality electronics, accessories, and a large selection. I was thinking about one tablet, but bought a completely different one. I received good advice and changed my mind. Please note that I received advice, not a pushy sales pitch!) A very important point.

Excellent store

Excellent store. I've been updating my equipment with them for the 4th year now, reasonable prices and good service, and most importantly, if they say it's in stock, you can order it. The products are original. Very convenient, fast, and high-quality, I can recommend it to absolutely everyone who wants to make profitable purchases.

Ordering from this online store is a pleasure, a huge range of products categorized. Quickly chose what I needed, confirmed the order, the price matched what was stated on the website, sent quickly, free delivery, reliable packaging. Initially, I hesitated about the prepayment, but after reading reviews, took the risk. And was not disappointed. Picked up my order on the sixth day.
