    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.
