Trustpilot reviews on them seeem to be good, but there is some comments about goods being delayed in delivery and you had to call them to sort it out, not something I want to do if I have to pay premium rate as there is a comment on a HUKD post that the guy was on hold on 45 minutes to sort something out!
Surprisingly, they are listed as one of the retailer accepted for the existing Samsung christmas cashback promotion, which ends on 21.12.2023, so if there is a long delay with the delivery, I will miss out on the cashback claim, which is the only reason I am thinking about buying a phone with these guys, which is currently on offer.
