I've used SmartFoneStore for years

I've used SmartFoneStore for years, and have always been very happy with them. My most recent purchase has confirmed my confidence with them even more, with a better than expected product, at a keen price, along with quick delivery.

There’s no mouse in keyboard

Timely delivery but they sent the wrong item. I ordered an apple mouse and they sent a keyboard. Pretty hard to confuse the two. Particularly when the paper invoice, included in the packaging, clearly specifies ‘mouse’.

As yet, no response from them.

Hi James,

We're very sorry for the error, it is very rare that this happens. We can see that you emailed us outside our office hours late yesterday evening. We responded first thing this morning, and have arranged for the return.

We will have this resolved for you ASAP.

Kind Regards,

The SFS Team

Failure to Unlock Google Account

Received all 5 devices ordered, 4 out of the 5 were as described, no issues. 1 was faulty with google account lock and when asked to return the device for repair i was told there was no record of the 5th device.

Not good customer service considering this 1 device being unlocked to allow configuration not being done has cost them a sale of 15 more.

Hi there,

Glad to hear that the majority of the discounted devices you received were as described but occasionally things do go do wrong which is exactly why we have a 12 month warranty. Terribly sorry to hear about this unusual issue. We're always more than happy to resolve issues and really don't like the idea of dissatisfied customers.

Looking further into your order we can see that there is an email chain in relation to this issue and that we have requested some further information which we have yet to receive. Further to this we can see that there is some confusion in relation to the amount of devices you have purchased. According to our records you purchased 4 devices from us as opposed to 5. Please can you contact with the IMEI numbers of the devices so that we can clarify this?

We've emailed you with some instructions regarding getting this resolved for you.

For others reading this, we'd ask that in the unlikely event that a device purchased from us becomes faulty, please contact us directly via 02074046466 or sales@smartfonestore.com rather than using Trustpilot as a means to contact us.

Once again, apologies. Don't worry, we'll get this sorted for you.

Kind Regards,

The SFS Team

Certified refurbished? Rubbish

Bought an iPad Mini 4 for my daughter's birthday. When I received it the device reported to charge to 29% then immediately died when removed from power.

Even when on charge I cannot even complete the setup before the devices dies.

If this is "certified refurbished" I'd hate to see uncertified.

Hi Stu,

Very sorry to hear about this experience, we must say that it's very unusual to hear of such a thing. Not only that, we're quite a bit sad that we've not been given the opportunity to help rectify this for you in the normal fashion rather than having to take to trustpilot which is normally a platform for reviewing service rather than products.

We can't seem to find any details about your order at the moment but if you contact us in the normal fashion either by emailing sales@smartfonestore.com or calling 02074046466, we'll be happy to help.

Kind Regards,

Still satisfied

First comment is that I’ve used the service for many years for many products and from my point of view this review is just par for the course…

I’ve had my latest SmartFoneStore acquired iPhone for 2 weeks and it’s working as well as expected and is in as good as expected or better for the grade.

In short, I’m once again very happy with the product supplied and the service and have already recommended several times.

Thank you.

iPhone XR Excellent service and product

Excellent service and product. Despite postal workers strike delivered in two days. Description on site classed phone as “very good”, on very close examination I couldn’t find a single blemish on it. It could easily be mistaken for new. Well done SmartFoneStore.
