Policies

 

The market for used mobile devices, particularly smartphones, has grown significantly in recent years. As consumers increasingly seek cost-effective alternatives to new devices, it is essential to establish clear policies regarding the sale of used phones, especially those that exhibit wear and tear. This document outlines the key considerations and policies that govern the sale of such devices.

Battery Capacity and Cosmetic Condition

All devices sold will have a battery capacity ranging between 70% and 100%. This capacity is randomly determined, and there is no guarantee of a specific percentage within this range. Customers should note that there is no return or exchange policy for issues related to cosmetic imperfections or battery capacity. Cosmetic imperfections may include scratches, dents, or other signs of prior use, which are expected in used devices. Transparency about these conditions is crucial to set realistic expectations and ensure customer satisfaction.

To assist in making informed decisions, customers are encouraged to enlarge the pictures provided to see clear details of the devices, including any cosmetic imperfections.

Warranty Policy

To enhance consumer confidence, a 15-day warranty is offered for internal issues with the device. This warranty allows customers to test the phone's functionality and ensures any internal defects are promptly addressed. However, this warranty does not cover cosmetic damage, aligning with the understanding that used devices may exhibit signs of wear and tear. It is important to emphasize that the device must be returned in unbroken condition for warranty claims.

Return Policy

If a customer decides to return a used phone, the following conditions apply:

  • A 15% restocking fee will be charged for devices that are functioning correctly but do not meet the customer’s expectations regarding appearance.
  • The buyer is responsible for covering the shipping fee for all returns, regardless of the reason.

This policy mitigates losses associated with the return process and encourages customers to make informed decisions prior to purchase.

Summary

In summary, the sale of used mobile devices necessitates clear and structured policies to address returns, warranties, and product conditions. By:

  • Stating that battery capacity will range between 70% and 100%,
  • Declining returns or exchanges due to cosmetic imperfections or battery percentage,
  • Offering a 15-day warranty for internal issues,
  • Charging a 15% restocking fee for returns based on cosmetic dissatisfaction,
  • Requiring buyers to pay shipping fees for returns,
  • Encouraging customers to enlarge pictures to view clear details of the devices,

sellers can maintain a fair balance between customer satisfaction and business sustainability. These policies protect the seller's interests while fostering trust and transparency with consumers in the used smartphone market.
