A1 Tech Deals

Product Condition

Every product on A1 Tech Deals is sold under one of five conditions, shown on the product page before you buy. Most of our stock is brand new; Open Box and refurbished items are offered at lower prices and come with the same 30-day returns and 12-month warranty. Where a listing carries its own condition notes or photos, those describe the exact item you will receive and take precedence over the general definitions below.

Brand New

Brand New

Cosmetic
Unused and manufacturer-sealed.
Working state and contents
All original accessories and packaging, with the full manufacturer warranty.

Open Box and Refurbished

Open Box items are unused; refurbished items have been used, then fully tested and graded on their cosmetic condition. The grade tells you what the item looks like — every grade works perfectly.

Open Box

Cosmetic
Brand new and unused. The packaging has been opened (for inspection, display, or an unused return) and the item has no marks.
Working state and contents
The original box is not required — plain packaging is fine when the listing says so. Accessories are complete unless the listing notes state otherwise.

Refurbished – Excellent

Also called Grade A – Excellent

Cosmetic
No marks visible at arm's length; at most faint marks on close inspection. The screen is unmarked.
Working state and contents

Refurbished – Good

Also called Grade B – Good

Cosmetic
Light scratches or small marks visible on close inspection. No screen scratches visible when the screen is on.
Working state and contents
Fully tested, factory reset and 100% working. Battery health of at least 80% where the device reports it. A charger or cable is included; other accessories as stated in the listing notes.

Refurbished – Fair

Also called Grade C – Fair

Cosmetic
Clearly visible scratches, scuffs or small dents. The screen may show light marks but has no cracks.

Condition notes and photos

An individual listing can carry its own notes and photos — for example “plain packaging, no original box, charging cable only”. They are shown on the product page under the condition you have selected, and they take precedence over the definitions above for that listing.

Whatever the condition

12-month warranty

Every item, in every condition, is covered for 12 months from the date of purchase. Cosmetic wear that was disclosed at the time of sale is not a fault. Warranty policy

30-day returns

Return any item within 30 days in the condition it was sold in, with everything that was included. Returns policy

UK stock

Dispatched from the UK, UK-specification, and guaranteed to work in the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the item doesn't match its described condition?

Then it is not as described. Return it within 30 days for a full refund — return postage is free and no fee applies.

Is a refurbished item the same product as the new one?

Yes. The same model, specification and colour as the Brand New listing on that product page; only the condition and price differ. If a listing is a different storage size or variant, it is a separate product page.

Are your products genuine?

Every product is genuine. Counterfeit or misdescribed stock is never allowed and is removed from sale.
