Don't expect the expected valuation of your trade in

I traded in what I considered to be an almost perfect phone still with original packaging but they knocked off £100 for what they called a 96% battery and a tiny mark on the bezel but you are basically caught. And in spite of what they might imply their prices are not the best available.

Terrible Laptop Trade-in scheme

Very poor experience with their laptop trade-in scheme. They show minimal criteria at the start, then show you a relatively good price which incentivises you to send it. They don’t specify that if your processor is below 8th gen, regardless of condition your laptop, value will be updated to £0. They also have no staff dedicated to trade-ins who you can speak with if you bother to call them. To say I wouldn’t recommend would be an understatement.

Impressed enough with company not courier

First time order with the company. Good price and quickly despatched but I paid a significant amount extra for next day delivery only to get the dreaded message from DPD that my goods had been delayed. The reason seems to be the goods despatched missed the local pick up time, meaning my order was delivered a day later which was disappointing. Perhaps a bit more coordination between company and courier could prevent this in future?

A good British company which I would definitely use again.

easy web site with of choices at a very good price.
It arrived on time very securely wrapped, and a pass code was needed before DPD would hand it over. Very happy.
