Hi hoping some more savvy people can keep me right. I'm not sure if this is a genuine website. I'm buying iPads and they are £20-£30 cheaper on this website, usually if I'm unsure I would just order from a reputable website and pay the extra but I have 2 to buy so would rather save money where I can. I googled and there was mixed reviews of trust pilot but I believe trust pilot is pretty dodgy itself 🤦🏻‍♀️if anyone can advise me if they've used this website or if it looks like a scam I'd be grateful.

Screenshot attached in case anyone is wary of clicking the link.

Screenshot from Trustpilot — doesn’t look good.

Not sure I'd trust that tbh, what about CEX?

BamBamBilla · 09/11/2022 18:34

No company information on the website and they only accept PayPal payments. Doesn't look particularly assuring to me.

Thanks everyone I'll give it a miss.

@covetingthepreciousthings I looked on the cex website but they aren't much cheaper on there than what they are new! I've been looking at backmarket for refurbished I'm not sure what to do for the best.

They're based in Hong Kong. Website looks dodgy and amateurish.

Hi me again Blush

Since everyone was so helpful last time I was hoping you could help again Blush

What about this site? It does seem more genuine than the last one but still a bit wary.

Screenshot attached as well

Oh have just noticed the seller linked actually has low reviews so once again I will avoid 🙄.

We've always bought refurbished tech from eBay or Amazon. Can't go wrong then, as those platforms will give protection and a year long guarantee.
