When it comes to grading the Used, Second-hand and Refurbished Devices we understand that this can be difficult. So we use a few combined methods to get it right as possible

a) Each grade needs to fit a specification grade list 

b) Each device is assessed by at least 3 technicians and finally graded by our quality assurance team.

Grades

''Pristine' The device should be in Pristine condition. If there are signs of use (if any) these must represent minute scuffs that cannot be seen from 12 inches away

''Very Good' The device considered to be in Excellent condition by technicians with only slight signs of use. No deep scratches on screen with minor/minimal scuffs limited to the casing

''Good' The device that you would expect to show signs of average usage but no cracks or missing parts and in great working order.  

''Acceptable' The device is in Fair Condition. Cosmetically the device will show heavy signs of use, including scratches and scuffs to the screen and casing. It won’t have cracks on the screen or casing..  

Devices with conditions outside of the above will have explicit details in description.

All devices are tested using Tech Market's unique diagnostic software which also wipes all data seen and hidden in cache

At Tech Market we offer an easy 30 day money back guarantee if you are not happy. Money back or a replacement device - you choose.

Here at Tech Market we are happy to match or beat any reputable competitors. Just click the Price Beat/Offer button and you will get a response in a few hours.

However we have consistently seen price beat offers from companies that are not in the UK or do not hold stock.

Easy way to find out!

Shipping Enquiries

You should have got an email from us with your estimated delivery date and a tracking number. You can use that number to track your delivery to your door.

If your order didn’t arrive when it should, email us at support@techmarket.co.uk or start a live chat with us on our website.

Obviously it depends how far away you are, but we aim to deliver all UK orders the next day, if you order by 2pm. We’ll give you an estimated delivery date when you checkout. It can sometimes take up to 24 hours to process your order before it ships out, but we’ll send you an email as soon as it’s left the building, with a tracking number.

Easy. Just pop your tracking number into the Royal Mail or DPD website (depending on which we’ve used). We tend to use Royal Mail when you buy, and DPD when you sell. 

Or pop over to your order history, and click on “View details”.

We use Royal Mail or DPD because we trust them and we know they’re reliable. And we always track everything to keep your stuff safe.

When you send devices back to us to sell, we either use Royal Mail or DPD. If you choose a paid service (24 or door collection) it comes with insurance cover on anything you return to us. It’s worth paying the extra if you can, because we can’t cover anything that gets lost or damaged in transit. DPD also offers a green delivery service that’s less harmful to the planet. Find out more at green.dpd.co.uk.

We've invested a huge amount of time, research and energy to make sure our packaging is as sustainable and planet-friendly as it can be. Our work is never done here. We'll never stop looking for greener ways of doing everything we do, including our packaging.
Please call us for more details about our collection service.
At the moment we only ship within the UK.
