Took too long to approve the phone and not good communication, I had to chase updates took 1 week to get paid for the phones
First experience good, second just alright. Took 11 days from receiving phone for payment to be sent and no apologies or explanation. Good prices offered however and no other major issues.
Experience didn't match what is promised on website. Althought i did receive monies in the end it took over 2 weeks after receipt of goods. Only after lodging an inquiry online did anything happen and only after repeated follow-ups because they did not contact me with any progress advise as to what was happening.
