Product & price
1.1 What is the difference between good, very good & like new?
We chose to offer our phones in 3 different variants according to the number of signs of use. This way, you clearly know what to expect.

Very good:
The iPhone may show slight signs of use such as a few small scratches on the casing. The display is virtually scratch-free.
Good:
The iPhone has clearly visible signs of use. The casing and screen will show visible scratches

1.2 I would like to visit and check out the phones
Besides our main activity as a webshop, we also want to give you the opportunity to see some of our devices. Our Apple experts will gladly assist you with personal advice to ensure you make the right choice. To avoid waiting times, we work by appointment. Book your appointment here through our calendar
1.3 Where do the phones come from?
All our phones we offer are from business or shop returns. For example, consider a large to medium-sized SME that gives their employees the very latest iPhone every X number of months to keep them happy. The previous devices are tested and checked by us. Severely damaged or used devices are rejected and functional devices are taken over.
Due to our years of experience, devices are also taken over from shops or online shops where the customer has returned a new device within the 14 days and thus it can no longer be sold as new.
1.4 What is the battery capacity of the iPhones?
All our refurbished iPhones come with a battery health between 85-100%.
Last year, the average battery capacity of our refurbished iPhones was 94%.
Lithium-ion batteries are designed to work at peak performance within a range higher than 80%.
On top of this, we also test the number of charge cycles and the age of the battery. If it fails any of our various tests, it is replaced. We do not replace or remove healthy batteries to avoid unnecessary electronic waste. This way, we offer a sustainable solution that you can enjoy for many years to come.
1.5 Margin or Vat?
Our refurbished products can be offered at the European margin scheme. This applies to second-hand goods originally purchased from a private individual with 21% VAT, as a private individual is not allowed to charge VAT.
Margin products have an extra low price and therefore we can offer very low prices on every device. This makes the advantage of purchasing a refurbished iPhone even greater!
