FAQs

"Refurbished" means different things to different customers and vendors. To us, "Refurbished" means it is being sold in a fully working condition. This does not necessarily mean we have replaced any parts - in most cases, the devices we sell are in the same condition as when we received them - but they are meticulously tested, cleaned, buffed and polished to get them looking as good as possible. We do occasionally replace batteries, screens, back covers, frames and other components when the device falls outside of our strict grading criteria, but only using high-quality parts.

We prefer this approach as it allows us to supply a more budget friendly range with our "Excellent, "Very Good", "Good" and "Imperfect" condition devices - this would not be possible if we were restoring every device to "As New". Our cases and screen protectors also do a fantastic job at hiding these minor cosmetic flaws.

Yes, all the devices we sell are unlocked unless specified otherwise. This means you can use them with any compatible carrier or SIM card. Every device also undergoes rigorous testing to ensure optimal functionality. Read our Grading and Testing criteria to learn more.

For a smart watch, it will include the magnetic charger as well as a wrist band.
