If you receive a Phone in non-working condition or if it quits working within 14 days at no quirk of your own, I will exchange or give a store credit at my discretion. ABSOLUTELY NO CASH REFUNDS!!! (Shipping & Handling is non-refundable). It is the buyers responsibility to assure that their Provider can and will elicit the phone. I do not exchange or give store credits because of blemished/scratched phones, you are buying used and at hand is a photo, ask questions earlier you buy if you are not sure about the trait of the phone.

QUESTIONS
FIRST READ EVERYTHING later feel free to ask any question before you bid if you are unsure in the region of the quality (look at picture first), what is included (Everything in picture is included) or any other interview you might have. I do not compensation because you bought the wrong phone and I do not refund if it is more scuff than you wanted. I put up for sale used phones. Be sure you want what you are bidding on. I try to check all phones to construct sure they are clear to re-activate (TDMA & CDMA Phones), but sometimes the customer service reps do not know what they are doing. So please check with your provider when buying a TDMA or CDMA Cell Phone.
