Refurbished phone was ordered and paid…

Refurbished phone was ordered and paid for next day deliver before 12pm (£14.99) as I was going away. No delivery. Rang Phones Direct up but not sent next day delivery. DPD hadn’t even received it. Re-arranged for delivery 4/9 when I’m back. Awaiting refund of delivery charge when I receive the phone. May have been an oversight, was disappointed

Look elsewhere for quality refurbishment

Paid an extra £200 for phone that was described "As New" yet they sent me one that had a cracked screen and case because they ran out of stock. I'm also convinced that their customer service team is made up of bots and AI

For months no service at all

For months, I have had no service. ESims do not activate on my phone. Little contact from you or explanation of what has gone wrong.
When will I ever get a service for my money (£20 per month)??

All Perfect!

I was so happy to find an IPhone 14 Plus for such a good price and in amazing condition. It arrived super quickly and worked perfectly. Think I’ll only get restored ones in future as the price is amazing.
