Are you considering purchasing a preowned phone or laptop? It’s no secret that the market for pre-owned electronics can be a bit of a minefield, often leaving buyers feeling uncertain and wary.
With stories of dodgy sellers and low-quality products, it’s essential to do your research before making a purchase. So, is Unboxxed the real deal?
We can’t decide for you. Here are 7 things to consider before buying refurbished tech:
We prioritize your security. The payment provider is responsible for making sure that the transaction is secure, that it is not fraudulent, and for transferring funds from the customer to Unboxxed.
We use a well regarded South African payment process called PayFast. The Payfast payment gateway is a reliable payment software used for a large number of eCommerce stores and brands in SA.
PayFast provides dual authentication. This means that when you purchase a device from us using your debit or credit card, you will get a notification from your bank asking you to approve the transaction. The transaction will only be successful if you approve it via your bank.
At Unboxxed, keeping our customers happy is our top priority. Don’t take our word for it—check out our reviews on Hellopeter and our website to see what our customers have to say.
We engage with our refurbished phone fans, customers, and potential customers via various social media channels. This is an opportunity for us to share our brand message, as well as for our customers to connect with us. Check out our Facebook page, our Instagram profile, or our LinkedIn profile.
