Quick response to sorting things out hopefully will use them again in the future
Offer was reduced by £50 sighting scratches on screen. When I sent the phone there were none but I don’t have any pics to prove They sent me pics of scratches but it was an Apple swap over phone with 21 battery cycles and in absolutely pristine condition. Lesson learnt to take video and pic before sending to any of these recycle companies
I ordered a phone. It came locked. So at first I didn't like the attitude of the customer service people as they told me it must have been me who set the phone up but after proving it wasn't they were helpful and sorted it and sent me a different phone all in the space of 4 days. This was the time it took for me to send a phone back also. So overall after the disagreement at first it worked out eventually.

Edit: I have now received help and some clarification from JFX/Mobile Direct regarding an order that had a delivery address error. It would still be preferable for there to be a phone line for customer service issues such as this, and for JFX to have more transparent contact info in general - as it is I had to do some considerable internet digging to find a route to communication. I will update the review again once the product has actually been received.
The Laptop specification and cost were the best available across the internet, ordering was straightforward. Delivery was supposed to be within 3 working days however this did not happen. an inquiry email had to be sent to establish the delay. Only then did I receive an update on the reason for the delay. rating only given for poor communication .
