1-Day Electronic items BEWARE

Barry from Bryndwr

I purchased a refurbished smart phone from them that was advertised as having been technician checked and with 1 year warranty. Sadly it had several problems straight out of the box. I sent it back and warranty was declined as the glass rear cover had cracked. They couriered it back to me unrepaired and advised it would be $80 to replace the cover. I contacted them and asked if I accepted that quote would they fix the other faults. After almost 2 weeks I have not had a reply. Check out other similar reviews on Sitejabber.com.
