Evening all,

Is tecobuy uk a reputable place. I am currently looking for an Apple Watch for my partner and they come up very cheap... too good to be true? (They are selling Apple Watch 3 for £269).

Cheers

Tom

Ps if anyone knows one that is as new for sale let me know!

If they are legit - I can't see how they get any margin out of that pricing.

I bought a G-Star watch from Tecobuy - when it arrived the box was very damaged. The watch was meant as a present and was not presentable. I complained to Tecobuy , they said that I hadn't complained in time (but I had) and that it was the couriers fault (but the packaging was just an envelope). They also have a 14 day refund policy, but they refused to comment on that.

I reported to Paypal and they advised to send back the watch so I did.

Then I got a message from Tecobuy saying they won't accept the watch as the packaging is damaged - the irony.

Anyway Paypal sided with me and refunded both the price of the watch and £12 return shipping.

PS I didnt mention it at the time because I didnt want to muddy the argument, but the authenticity of the box was suspicious - if I could post pictures on here, then I would. I have had G-Shocks before and this box looked nothing like it.
