Pricing

The prices shown are subject to adjustments at any time as our prices constantly change.
All prices reflect the condition of the product.

Our online prices do not reflect our store prices. Therefore, prices seen on our website apply solely to the website - with the same principle applying to the store.
VAT
VAT is included with all sales concluded with residents of the European Union. We don't provide VAT invoices or receipts. This is because we sell second-hand goods and charge VAT under the margin scheme, because of this we cannot provide a separate VAT invoice/receipt.
VAT that is charged under the margin scheme cannot be claimed back as it can be with new goods.
We display our VAT registration number in order to comply with the Government legislation.

Please note: In certain instances, users of the iPhone 11 & 12, 11 & 12 Pro, and 11 & 12 Pro Max may encounter an "important display message." This may be due to previous refurbishment processes. The message will be visible on the lock screen for a duration of 7 days, and in the settings for 14 days. After 30 days, the message will disappear. It should be noted that this message does not impact the phone's functionality.

Delivery
Before you finalise your order, you’ll be given various delivery options to choose from with estimated delivery time and dates depending on the delivery address.
Your goods will be delivered usually within 3-5 working days but express delivery is also available whereby at an additional cost we will aim to dispatch your item on the same day (except during holidays) provided your order is received before 5pm on a working day so that you receive it the next working day but please note cannot deliver on Saturdays, Sundays, Bank holidays or any other Public Holiday. We will show the dispatch time and date on the product page which will be amended from time to time to account for holiday periods.
We work very hard to try to meet all delivery times but sometimes there may be delays – e.g. because of postal/carrier delays, logistics or bad weather. We will keep you updated as much as we can and you should be able to track your parcel’s progress as we will send you tracking information to your email address to allow you to track your parcel..
All deliveries are made within working hours.
All deliveries can only be sent to the credit/debit card holder's address.
If you are absent on the delivery day you may find a card to advise you that the courier has attempted to deliver your goods. You will need to call the carrier in order to arrange a new delivery date. If you do not have a note then it is your responsibility to track your order on the carrier's website in order to receive information on it as soon as possible.
Your goods shall be deemed to be delivered upon delivery to the address specified in your invoice.
The delivery date is approximate only and time for delivery shall not be of the essence.
Your goods may be delivered in advance of the delivery date.
Only reasonable attempts to deliver your goods by the delivery date will be made and if we fail to deliver your goods on the delivery date for whatever reason then we shall have no liability in respect of any such late delivery or non-delivery of goods.
International orders generally take 10-14 days from date of shipment to arrive, depending on the customs procedures of the destination country. We strictly adhere to all customs and shipping procedures imposed by the destination country. Please check with your country’s customs office for precise charges. We assume no responsibility with respect to any tariffs, duties, or other such restrictions and charges imposed and/or enforced by the destination country. In the event that you refuse to pay any such charges then when refunding you we shall be entitled to deduct any charges that we have to pay for the return of the item.
Undelivered/Lost items
In order for us to officially declare a parcel lost, you have ten business days to declare the loss of a parcel starting from the date you received the dispatch confirmation e-mail.
If the parcel was declared as lost within the above-mentioned time, we will attend to making a claim with the deliverer. We may eventually require additional documents from you to complete the claim process. In this situation, you will then need to send the information as soon as possible.
Upon notification from the customer, we will initiate the claims process with the courier for any lost or undelivered items. It is important to note that compensation for such items cannot be provided until a thorough investigation is conducted. The duration of the investigation may vary between 30 to 60 days; however, in extreme cases, this may take longer. We will endeavor to provide any requested information during this process to ensure the swift resolution of the claim.
We cannot be held responsible for any delays outside of our control. However, we will take steps to minimise the effects of the delay where possible.
Receipt of your goods
When the items are delivered to you, the carrier will require a signature from you as an acknowledgement of receipt.
You must check the parcel upon its arrival. If a parcel arrives damaged, your reservations must be written on the delivery note in the presence of the carrier.
Should no reservations be mentioned, the parcel is considered as delivered in good condition and no subsequent claims or complaints will be accepted by us.
Returns
Our cancellation procedure is simple - return unwanted goods, unused within 14 days for a full refund (from date of purchase). You will need to arrange for the return at your own cost and you must obtain proof of posting. We recommend using a Recorded or Special Delivery service to ensure that the cost of the goods you are returning is covered in the event of postal loss or damages in transit. Returns are entirely at your risk and we shall have no liability in the event of loss or damage.
All warranties are void if the returned goods are found to be damaged, scratched, modified or altered in any way. Refunds will be given at our discretion in such circumstances and should we accept any such return then we we will charge a restocking fee representing 15% of the original purchase price.
The product MUST be in the original condition that it was sent in and the correct returns procedure MUST be followed in full - please click here for full details. If the device sent back is in lesser condition you may only be entitled to a percentage of the original purchase price. Any brand new items that have been opened and/or used, will only be eligible for a refund equivalent to 50% of the original purchase price. Please ensure that you send in the charger and cable that you are using with the device to avoid a delay. Please also ensure that you back up all data before returning any item as we erase all data upon receipt so cannot be held responsible for any loss of data on returned devices.
Special order items, such as boxes, screen protectors, batteries, etc will not be eligible for refunds.
You MUST return the item within 14 days of creating the return otherwise the return request will no longer be valid and you will be deemed to have accepted the goods forfeiting the right to return the goods thereafter, for either repair, replacement, or refund.
Returns Procedure
Please contact us and we will arrange for items to be returned
Fraudulent Claims/Disputes
If any claim or dispute by you (of whatever nature) is found to be false or fraudulent you will be subject to a minimum admin charge of £50 to cover the expenses incurred during the investigation. In the event that we hold any item(s) in our possession relating to any such claim or dispute then we shall be under no obligation whatsoever to complete a transaction for the same or return any such item(s) to you unless you pay the outstanding charges in full and arrange collection at your own cost.

We offer a warranty from the date you make your purchase. We fully test each device when we receive stock and also prior to shipping. We urge you to fully test your device upon receiving it and if you find a fault, you must report this within the warranty period. If a fault is found, we may choose to either replace or repair the device (at our discretion). Any faults found outside the warranty period will not be covered either by a replacement device or warranty repair. Please note that should your device develop a fault after the first 3 months (from date of purchase) then we may ask you to contact the manufacturer directly as this is often quicker for customers.
