    Their address is shown as Top Spec Tech LTD, International House, Constance St, London, E16 2DQ on their website, a google search of the address shows it’s actually a free virtual office address https://freevirtualoffice.co.uk/offices.php

    The phone number is an 0871 number (ideal for forwarding to anywhere in the world).

    I’m not sure I would be chancing my money with them if it was me...

    Here's their last statement of accounts from March 18

    They don't show a return address unless on their website so I expect they're just a dropshipper - you may as well buy straight from AliExpress or Gearbest which is probably where any orders actually come from anyway (with a markup).

    Instead of an XR go in for simply an Iphone X as they both share almost the same features but the latter one is cheaper so why the extra money.

    Larger screen , battery and different processor.

    The iPhone X was also discontinued last year and is more expensive than the XR at retailers who still have stock (like CPW).

  • Avoid !!!
    My daughter ordered her phone from this lot. No phone arrived, they are saying they are in dispute with their card company and she needs to pursue a refund through her bank.
    The director is Lucas Guerra and he has two addresses listed on companies house.
    I intend to go after him through the courts but I suspect as a limited company I will have no joy.
