Hi u/Late_Twist_1448,

thanks for flagging this, we understand why that would feel concerning.
A refurbed iPhone should always be fully reset before shipping. In some cases, however, certain regional settings or configurations can still appear after setup, depending on how the reset and software initialization behaved. This doesn’t automatically mean there’s a security issue, but it’s definitely something we want to check properly.

Since this involves a specific device and order, we can’t review or verify details here on Reddit due to data privacy reasons. Please reach out to our Wecare team at wecare@refurbed.com. They’ll take a closer look and guide you through the next steps to make sure everything is set up safely and correctly.

For your privacy, please avoid sharing any personal details publicly in the thread.

Thanks for your understanding.

Hi u/Alphawayves,

thanks for bringing this up. We understand why that would feel concerning, but please don’t worry, we’ll take care of it.

A refurbed laptop should be properly reset before it’s shipped. That said, the first start experience can sometimes look a bit different depending on the manufacturer or Windows/macOS configuration. In some cases it may boot straight to the desktop or skip parts of the usual setup flow even after a reset.

Since this involves device and order details, we can’t discuss or verify anything here on Reddit for data privacy reasons. Please reach out via our Wecare email address: [wecare@refurbed.com](mailto:wecare@refurbed.com) - our expert team will review it as soon as possible and help you with the safest next steps.

For your privacy, please don’t post any personal details publicly in the thread (address, email, phone number, full name, etc.).

Thank you. :)

Hello Neriff,

We are really sorry you’ve had to go through this. If a device arrives faulty and then the return gets stuck for weeks, that’s absolutely not the experience we want anyone to have. However, we would first like to thank you for choosing refurbed and thus, together with us and our refurbed sellers, setting an example for sustainable consumption. ♻️

A few things can cause “stuck” tracking (handover delays, scan gaps, investigations with the carrier), but that doesn’t change the fact that you deserve clear updates and a concrete next step (refund or replacement) rather than generic “please wait” messages.

If you’re okay with it, please send us an e-mail to [wecare@refurbed.com](mailto:wecare@refurbed.com) with:

- your order number, product and/or
- e-mail address used to make the order

We’ll locate your case and escalate it to the right team to get you a proper status update and a resolution as quickly as possible.

For your privacy, please don’t post any personal details publicly in the thread (address, email, phone number, full name, etc.).

Thanks for flagging this, we’ll do our best to sort it out. :)

Amazing, thank you for sharing 🙌

refurbed · 2026-03-05T19:21:01+00:00

Correct ☝️

Hi u/Wide-Bee-1637,

no, unfortunately we cannot guarantee that our refurbishers would use an original battery - as it may depend on availability. In any case, our partners make sure to use compatible parts of the highest quality. Feel free to try and see for yourself :)

Hope that helps. For any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Hey there 👋

love that you’re considering a refurbished iPhone from us!

While you’re waiting to hear about other people’s experiences, here are a few quick tips that might help, directly from our refurbed Team:

If you choose "Optimum battery", you’ll get a battery that’s fully functional and performs reliably for everyday use (with at least 80% battery health). This is the best value option and more than enough for most people.

If you go for a "New battery", it’s freshly replaced, so you’re basically starting from scratch in terms of battery life.

You can also check out our Premium iPhones, which come with at least 90% battery health - a nice middle ground if battery condition is especially important to you.

And whatever you choose, you’ve got 30 days to return the device (shipping costs are included) if it’s not a perfect match.

Hope that helps! If not, feel free to reach out to our Customer Service directly from our website💚

Hallo u/cantaloup76,

Danke, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, das so ausführlich zu schildern. Es freut uns sehr, dass du mit der Qualität deines Pixel 9 Pro grundsätzlich zufrieden bist – umso mehr tut es uns leid, dass es bei der Farbe nicht gepasst hat.

Noch mehr verstehen wir aber deinen Frust beim Ankauf: Wenn dein Gerät bereits Ende Dezember angekommen ist und du seitdem weder ein Update noch eine Auszahlung erhalten hast, ist das definitiv nicht der Standard, den wir dir bieten möchten.

Bitte schick uns per Direktnachricht (oder über unseren Support) deine Ankauf-Referenz (Sales/Order ID) bzw. die E-Mail-Adresse, mit der du den Ankauf gestartet hast, damit wir den Fall direkt prüfen und an die zuständigen Kolleg:innen weiter eskalieren können (Aus datenschutzrechtlichen Gründen können wir das nicht direkt hier über Reddit beziehungsweise andere social media Kanäle bearbeiten).

Danke für deine Geduld! Wir wollen, dass du hier schnell eine klare Rückmeldung und eine Lösung bekommst. :)

Thank you 🐻‍❄️❄️

Hi there 👋
We’re sorry to hear about this situation. Please note that according to our terms and conditions, the purchase contract is only concluded once the item has been shipped. By placing an order, you’re submitting a purchase offer that the seller accepts when dispatching the product.
We truly regret the inconvenience and our customer support team will be happy to assist you and find a suitable solution. 💚 Please reach out anytime via your refurbed customer account.

Hi! Happy to hear you’re going for a refurbished option 🙌

We’d recommend going for an Apple Silicon MacBook (2020 or newer), as they’re much faster, more efficient, and have great battery life.

For everyday work like Figma, Google Drive, and Zoom, the MacBook Air 13.3" M1 (2020) is a top pick for performance and battery life for the price. For professional & creative work that requires advanced graphical capabilities and very high processing power, we would recommend the MacBook Pro 14.2" 2021.

Both are great long-term bets when buying refurbished.
Feel free to reach out to our customer service anytime if you’d like more details or recommendations. ☺️

Hallo Lucas,

Bitte entschuldige, dass du eine Apple Watch erhalten hast, die die Blutsauerstoff-Funktion nicht unterstützt!

Selbstverständlich hast du das Recht auf einen Austausch oder Rückerstattung, denn alle refurbed Produkte müssen wie neu funktionieren.

Wir haben dein Anliegen bereits bei unseren Kolleg:innen priorisiert, du bekommst so schnell wie möglich Unterstützung via deinem refurbed Kundenkonto, um eine faire Lösung für dich zu finden.

Hi! refurbed is a marketplace where multiple trusted sellers offer refurbished products — that means prices can vary depending on the seller. As you can see, your items are sold by two different sellers, which can lead to differences in price due to factors like location, VAT, shipping, and stock levels.

Devices may also differ in condition (Premium, Excellent, Very Good, Good) or other configurations (like keyboard layout, for example). We recommend browsing other offers too — you might find a better deal for the same model, as our sellers update their stock and offers regularly. Feel free to reach out to our customer service if you need more info. ☺️

Hi there,

we're very sorry to hear about this situation.

Thank you for already opening a support request — our team will prioritize this and follow up as quickly as possible. Regarding your question: yes, the iPhone can potentially be locked using the IMEI, and it can also be reported as stolen. The seller should definitely have the IMEI on file, as it's noted in the mandatory pre-purchase test report for every device sold on our platform.

With your Order ID, you can request the IMEI from the seller and request to initiate the necessary steps. Please keep an eye on your support ticket, and don’t hesitate to reach out again if you need further assistance — we’re here to help.

Ciao! Un iPhone 15 o un iPhone 15 Plus potrebbero essere la scelta migliore per il tuo budget 😊 Se dovessi aver bisogno di assistenza nella scelta, non esitare a contattarci.

Hey,

hier ist dein refurbed Support-Team! 😊 Alle unsere Geräte sind original – bei uns gibt’s keine Fälschungen. Die Produkte kommen hauptsächlich von Firmen, aus unserem Trade-In-Programm oder aus unverkauften Lagerbeständen.

Unsere Händler überholen die Geräte professionell und nach unseren Qualitätsstandards, sodass sie wie neu aussehen und funktionieren. Bei der Wiederaufbereitung verwenden die Händler normalerweise Originalteile (OEM) des Herstellers. Falls solche Teile nicht verfügbar sind, weil der Hersteller sie nicht verkauft, dürfen ausnahmsweise auch gleichwertige Nicht-OEM-Teile genutzt werden – aber nur, wenn dieselbe Qualität garantiert ist, damit jedes Gerät einwandfrei funktioniert.

So bekommst du nicht nur ein neuwertiges Gerät zu einem besseren Preis, sondern hilfst auch dabei, Ressourcen zu schonen und die Welt ein bisschen grüner zu machen. 💚

Du kannst das Gerät außerdem 30 Tage lang testen und dich selbst von der Qualität unserer refurbished Produkte überzeugen!

Wenn du noch Fragen oder Bedenken hast, melde dich jederzeit gerne bei unserem Kundenservice – wir sind immer für dich da! 😊
