FAQ

Here’s the answers to some frequently asked questions.

Yes, we do! We have a large selection of cases and we stock most makes & models.

Yes, we do, but not all models. We assess each device individually.

Certain models, mainly iPads and Galaxy Tab’s. We assess each device individually.

We pay via bank transfer, generally done the same working day.

We will NOT pay cash.

We find that by paying via bank transfer rather than cash, we drastically reduce the number of people that sell us a device then report it lost or stolen, which is fraudulent. 

Yes, we will. Selling a device to us then reporting it lost or stolen to receive an insurance payout is fraud. We will pursue the return of our money via debt collection, small-claims court or whatever means necessary to recover our funds. We will absolutely not tolerate fraudulent transactions.

No. Our warranty does not cover any form of damages. Our warranty covers defective parts, not damaged parts.

Repairs carry risk so we always warn of possible data loss and highly advise you to backup anything important before bringing the device for repair. We take zero responsibility for data-loss and accept no liability for it. Backing up data is the customers responsibility, although we’re happy to show you how to do it. However, we will not physically do it for you. We have a totally hands-off approach to data. 

Sometimes after a phone repair the device may be disabled. This generally happens if the device has tried entering the incorrect passcode many times on its own, with a faulty touch or similar. In this scenario the device may need to be reset and you’ll need to know any log in details and account emails. For example, iCloud email address and password. 

Please ensure you have your login details to hand for anything you want to log in to in the event of the device being erased. We do not want to know your passwords and we will not put them in for you, but it’s helpful that you bring them along so you can log in to apps, iCloud, Google, Samsung account etc. If there’s any passwords that you do not know – please reset them before coming to store or take the device home and do it there. We will not reset your passwords for you. That’s personal data and we do not want to know any customer passwords.

We’re happy to help you move data from one device to another but please be warned – data transfer carries risk so we always warn of possible data loss and highly advise you to backup anything important before moving data to a new device.

We take zero responsibility for data-loss and accept no liability for it. Backing up data is the customers responsibility, although we’re happy to show you how to do it. However, we will not physically do it for you. We have a totally hands-off approach to data. 

If you purchase a device from us, we’ll include basic setup and help you with basic data-transfer for no extra charge. However, if your device is purchased elsewhere, we do charge for helping with data transfer. It’s often a very time consuming process. We’ll also be serving other customers whilst we’re helping you – so please only ask us for support with data transfer when you actually have time to do it. We will not give a time-frame as each device is different and every customer’s unique in terms of data on their device. Typically data-transfer can take anywhere from 15mins to many, many hours. 

If you want us to help you with data-transfer, please ensure you have your login details to hand for anything you want to log in to. We do not want to know your passwords and we will not put them in for you, but it’s helpful that you bring them along so you can log in to, or out of apps, iCloud, Google, Samsung account etc. If there’s any passwords that you do not know – please reset them before coming to store as we will not reset your passwords for you. That’s personal data and we do not want to know any customer passwords.
