Each one of our mobile devices are rigorously tested and given one of 5 different grades before being listed for sale. The grades are explained below;
New Boxed: An ‘as new’, boxed product that will arrive in its original packaging. There will be no signs of use and the device will be in perfect working condition.
Refurbished As New Condition or “Like New”: A refurbished and factory restored product that will show no signs of use. Often described as ‘like new’.
Refurbished Excellent Condition or “Grade A”: A premium mobile device that shows no signs of use and is in exceptional working order.
Refurbished Good Condition or “Grade B”: A product in great condition that has suffered superficial and confined damage to the front, back or rear. The product is still in excellent condition and fully functional.
Refurbished Average Condition or “Grade C”: A used device that will show signs of use. This can include mild to moderate damage to the front, rear or sides of the device. Again, this product is fully functional and in fantastic working order.
