Phone faulty and seller refused refund, Amazon later refunded promptly.
“Their policy is not to refund despite the law on distance selling”
Feedback is split between many reports of damaged or misdescribed devices and a smaller group of happy buyers. A common complaint is refunds being delayed or not paid after returns. Positive reviews point to fast processing, accurate listings, and supportive aftercare for refurbished devices. Returns communication and tracking repeatedly frustrate customers.

Many reviews describe refunds for returned items being delayed or refused. Several customers say they only got a refund after a marketplace or another third party stepped in. Fewer reviews praise quick handling and useful help with setup.
Low value is often linked to items arriving scratched, used, or not working. Mentions of good value are less common and focus on refurbished devices that meet expectations. One review explicitly praises value along with fast delivery and service.
Experiences range from on‑time, accurate deliveries to claims of dishonest handling or withheld refunds. Several positive reviews mention quick dispatch and devices matching the description. Negative reviews often describe repeated chasing and conflicting messages from staff.
The most repeated issue is devices arriving damaged, with reports of heavy scratches, broken hinges, dents, and units that will not power on. Fewer reviews say items beat the description or arrived in perfect condition. Several complaints mention battery health and non‑original parts.
Many reviewers cite slow replies, evasive answers, and disputes over whether returns were received. Complaints include tracking updates described as fake or misleading and staff who only respond after prompting. A minority report clear communication and fast fixes.
Feedback is mixed and leans heavily toward complaints about service and device condition. A clear minority report smooth purchases, quick delivery, and issues that were solved. The most consistent problems involve refunds, return handling, and the condition of devices on arrival.
