OUR PROCESS

How We Prepare Refurbished Devices

Every refurbished device follows a practical preparation process before it is listed or dispatched. The aim is to check key details, remove previous user data, test core functions and prepare the device clearly for its next owner.

01

Initial Inspection

We check the device model, condition and visible signs of use so we can understand its starting condition before further checks are completed.

02

IMEI & Network Checks

Where applicable, we check key device identifiers and network status before preparing the device for resale.

03

Secure Data Wiping

Previous user data is removed and the device is reset before being prepared for a new customer.

04

Function Testing

Core features are tested, including the screen, cameras, speaker, microphone, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other everyday functions.

Battery & Charging Checks

Battery performance and charging behaviour are checked so customers can use the device with confidence.

What We Test Before Sale

Refurbished devices are checked for key everyday functions before they are listed or dispatched. The exact checks may vary depending on the device model, but our aim is to confirm the essential features customers rely on.

Some checks, such as Face ID, Touch ID, IMEI and network status, apply only where the device model supports them.

Cleaning & Preparation

Carefully Prepared Before Dispatch

A refurbished phone should not feel like it has simply been passed from one owner to another. Before dispatch, devices are cleaned and prepared so they are ready for the next customer.

This preparation sits alongside our inspection, testing, data wiping and grading process. It helps us check the device carefully and present it honestly before it reaches the customer.

The result is a more confident buying experience, with clear information before purchase and a device that has been prepared before it leaves us.

Grading Before Sale

Clear Condition Information Before You Buy

Every refurbished device is graded based on its cosmetic condition. This helps customers understand what to expect before placing an order.

Excellent

Very light signs of use

A device in excellent cosmetic condition with only very minor signs of previous use. Product pages should always be checked for the exact condition details.

Very Good

Light visible wear

A device with light signs of use, such as small marks or minor cosmetic wear. It is tested and prepared before sale.

Fair

More noticeable cosmetic wear

A device with more visible signs of previous use, while still being checked, prepared and described clearly before purchase.

Condition grades are designed to help you understand what to expect before you buy. Please check each product page for the exact condition details of that specific device.
Final Quality Check

Packed for Dispatch

Before a refurbished device leaves us, it goes through a final check to make sure the key preparation steps have been completed.

The device is then packed carefully for dispatch, so customers receive an order that has been checked, cleaned, prepared and handled with care.
