“Sold them my phone. No problems whatsoever. Would definitely sell to them again as they honour the price they quote ”

“Absolutely amazing service! Got a quote for my phone, sent it off and when they received it, they did their checks and sent payment same day! Answered all my questions and queries with no hesitation. All in all a great experience and 100% recommend! Thankyou Vendi! ”

“Really great experience with buying a refurbished phone off eBay from this company. The price was great, fast delivery and the product was as described in excellent condition. Kudos. Highly recommended for hassle free tech shopping. ”

“A truly excellent selling experience when I recently sold my new, sealed phone to Vendi. From the initial enquiry to the final confirmation email, the whole process was very efficient and extremely friendly. The team there answered the questions I had so quickly. I am not linked to the company in any way - just an extremely satisfied customer. Totally recommended - thanks, Vendi. ”

“The best service, communication and experience in general. 5 stars are simply not enough for this company. Thank you so much!!!! ”

“I sold my device to this company for a good price and half expected them to knock me down on money once they looked over it as I’ve had this with previous companies even though my device was next to perfect condition. This did not happen and they paid out the money agreed in the quote with no questions asked and no attempt to knock you down on the money. Extremely happy with the service received and how quick the turn around was. Pre paid delivery (including collection) and was paid out the same day it arrived with them. Thank you 😊 ”

“Excellent condition iphone 15 pro max. Received item on time. Recommend all. Amazing service. ”
