Evaluating 435 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the products, often describing them as being in excellent or like-new condition, exceeding expectations for refurbished items. Many consumers highlight the swift and efficient delivery service, with orders frequently arriving ahead of schedule. The overall service is highly regarded for its professionalism and seamless process, while pricing is considered fair and offers great value. However, some customers also noted receiving products with minor issues, such as missing chargers or cables, or occasional battery faults.

Some reviewers were not happy with delivery issues, such as items being sent to the wrong address or stock availability discrepancies.

Dear John Bayfield,

Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the disappointment caused by the delivery issues you experienced.

We reviewed your shipping details and found that the address at checkout included two different house numbers (63 Shadwells Road and 69 Shadwells Road), which confused the courier during delivery.

We work to ensure accurate dispatch, but our accuracy depends on the details provided during order placement. We are happy to tell that our team reached the courier company and resolved this issue which in the end result in successful delivery.

We truly value your custom and wish to serve you better with your future orders. For further assistance or to provide updated details, please contact us directly at Support@mobiledirectonline.co.uk.

Kind Regards,

Item was in great condition, delivery was poor.

The product came in great condition, it should have had a film over the screen (iPad) however, and it would have had 5 stars were it not for the poor delivery service from DPD.

Warning: Only purchase in UK, even for delivery in UK.

I tried to order a Samsung S3 Ultra from MD. I am an expat living in Cyprus, but I wanted to have the phone delivered to family in the UK.

I ordered and paid for the phone. The order was cancelled by MD later that day. I called them and passed their security checks (I was told) so I ordered and paid again. This time the order was cancelled on the day of delivery.

I understand the need for financial security, but the whole matter was handled appallingly and without any warning.

I am still owed a refund for the second order, but at one point I was down almost £1k with only vague assurances that the bank were dealing with it and it could take up to 14 days to come through!

Brilliant recovery from theft of first delivery Google Pixel 10

The orginal Google Pixel 10 was dispatched within ne day of ordering and unfortunately stolen from the DPD driver after a missed delivery. DPD. confimred the theft to MDO. the morning after (20.01) and a replacement was dispatcehd on 21.01 but Royal Mail to the same address according to policy; no problems with this dleivery. The Refurbished Excellent description was appropriate as my phone looked brand new and worked straight out of the box, perefectly after 100% charge. Excellent customer service and products, 100% receommended. No cahrge, manual or invoice sent, only a cable but, not crucial. 13 month warranty is impressive. You cannot reschedule or redirect delivery due to MDO. policy, follwing many probelms with alternative approaches; choose your address with care.
