    I sent in my N95 8Gb and iPod Video, special delivery and it arrived last Monday. After 5 days I checked the status of my order, it still showed as pending on their website. Looking further it claimed to have recieved the phone but still showed pending on the iPod. I know for certain that both of them were in the jiffy enveloped wrapped in bubble wrap together so something screwy is going on here.

    Have emailed numerous times and whenever I have phone been told I am being put through, and always end up with a voice mail. I have yet to have a response to either method of communication. I phoned today (07/07/09) to be told the represetative was in a meeting but they took my name, order number and contact number saying they would be in touch before the end of business today, I am not going to hold my breath though :mad: Will post back to let you know what they say. With all the positive reviews above I was sure this was going to be a nice quick turnaround.

  • I sent my Nokia N95 8Gb a few weeks ago and still haven't received my cheque! I have emailed and called a number of times. I never get through on the phone and haven't received a reply to my email!

    I think this is a con and the company has either gone bust or it wasn't legit to start with!

    I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND USING THIS SITE!!!

    Hmmm, seems like a few people are signing up just to slate bananagreen, looks most suspicious to me.

    Ah, well I sent them on Wednesday a Nokia N95 8GB (by special delivery). They signed for it Thursday (naturally).

    I called earlier today (Thursday afternoon) just to see when payment was to be made, and was told that only one lady works for BananaGreen - its kind of an off-shoot to the repair company apparently. When put through all I got was voicemail - left message, it was not returned.

    Will wait and see before casting my opinion on this one. :rolleyes: Better get my £140 - wonder what best course of action is if I dont get anywhere.
