    We're a reputable business, we operate from a store, we've operated from the same address for a few years now, we give invoices with everything that we sell, it's therefore not in our best interest to sell fake or stolen devices.
  • What is CPO or what does it entail?
    CPO means certified pre-owned and it's different to Refurbished. All devices that we buy go through a 12 point check before they're certified pre-owned, during this process none of the devcie parts are replaced.
