3.6/5I ordered a mobile phone in excellent condition. It's not at all. It has scratches on the screen and the casing. At most, it's in good condition. But I'm keeping the phone because it works well and returning it seems like too much hassle.

4.4/5The phone is advertised as "in very good condition" and therefore without scratches on the screen. But upon receipt, the screen is scratched in 2 places.

4.6/5Delivery was quick as a flash and everything was fine. The phone was top-notch, just as described. However, the phone was set to Spanish. It was just as well that I can speak the language and was able to follow the instructions, at least until I’d set everything up in German.
