Frequently Asked Questions

When it comes to grading the Used, Second-hand and Refurbished Devices we understand that this can be difficult. So we use a few combined methods to get it right as possible

a) Each grade needs to fit a specification grade list 

b) Each device is assessed by at least 3 technicians and finally graded by our quality assurance team.

Grades

''Pristine' The device should be in Pristine condition. If there are signs of use (if any) these must represent minute scuffs that cannot be seen from 12 inches away

''Very Good' The device considered to be in Excellent condition by technicians with only slight signs of use. No deep scratches on screen with minor/minimal scuffs limited to the casing

''Good' The device that you would expect to show signs of average usage but no cracks or missing parts and in great working order.  

''Acceptable' The device is in Fair Condition. Cosmetically the device will show heavy signs of use, including scratches and scuffs to the screen and casing. It won’t have cracks on the screen or casing..  

Devices with conditions outside of the above will have explicit details in description.

All devices are tested using Tech Market's unique diagnostic software which also wipes all data seen and hidden in cache

Firstly most of our refurbished / Second-hand products prices are not liable for VAT under the marginal scheme. So no VAT is added or included in the price. What you see is what you pay for all customers (worldwide).

Other non refurb / non used products will have a clear breakdown of VAT at checkout and the product page price will include this.

For UK customers there is no additional taxes or duties to be paid. Product Price + Shipping thats it.

For Customers outside of UK if the product has VAT then this will be removed at checkout. However you may be liable for Taxes and Duties by your countries customs department.
