Risk to Watch Out For	The Issue	What it Means for You
Non-UK or imported models	Some phones may not be intended for the UK market.	You'll pay marginally less upfront, however the phone may sell for as little as 10-20% of its original value later on. Whilst you'll make a small saving to start with, you'll take a huge hit when it's time to dispose of the device, because imported devices are seen as a risk for buyers.
Phones that are not actually in stock	Some sellers list phones before they physically have them ready to send.	Your phone is your lifeline, and we understand this well. Do you really want to purchase from a company who has a reputation of taking your money and then making you wait for weeks, or in some cases months for your device?
Weak battery health	A phone can look clean but still have a worn battery.	Many of our competitors don't even mention battery life, and the battery you get is left up to chance. Who wants to spend good money on a device that only turns on for a few hours? Our minimum battery health is 85%, and you can upgrade to 100% at checkout for much cheaper than a high-street battery replacement would cost.
Hidden faults	Camera, Face ID, sensors or charging port issues may not show in photos.	Many sellers cut costs by not testing your device properly, or in some cases not at all. We believe that every customer deserves a fully functional device from day one, which is why our return rate is one of the lowest in the industry.
Poor-quality replacement parts	Cheap screens, batteries or camera parts can affect how the phone feels and performs.	Mobile phones are precisely built and sensitive devices. Some sellers use cheap phone parts that are more likely to break or become faulty. We use genuine Apple parts in 95% of the iPhones we repair. On the rare occasion that third-party parts are used, these will be of the highest quality possible, and only for screens and batteries. See our quality charter.
Blocked, locked or finance-flagged phones	Risky sellers may list phones that later turn out to be blocked, iCloud locked, finance-flagged or not fully reset.	What might seem like a good deal initially could cost you further down the line when the phone is blacklisted from use. We check that your phone hasn't been reported stolen, isn't on the police register, doesn't belong to another company, isn't hacked, and doesn't have any viruses.
Weak aftercare	Some sellers offer limited support once the phone has been delivered.	If something goes wrong and you need quick support, you may be stuck talking to an AI chatbot. In some cases, the customer support team may live in a different timezone and can't help you when you need it most. Our award-winning team is here to help you by phone, WhatsApp, email and more.
