Overall, I can't complain. Fast and sufficiently tracked shipping, product as described in excellent condition despite being old and hard to find. The only "flaw," which might be due to my "ignorance/oversight," was that the origin (Spain) wasn't specified. Overall, still good, and I recommend the site.

I have ordered devices from other websites and I’ve always come across an issue, minor and major. However, when ordering this phone. I had no issues and it’s running smoothly. Thank you so much!
