While KFC touts its 11 herbs and spices, our recipe for quality devices is in our 32-step quality check. And unlike the colonel’s secret mix, we have nothing to hide when it comes to our 32-steps. Read on to find out what happens to every device that comes to us before being resold.
Our magicians/ technicians
Unlike most second-hand phone dealers, we are not a marketplace. This means that the technicians who process our phones are specifically trained in device quality control. Marketplaces on the other hand, engage a wide range of dealers. Dealer A may not be as thorough as Dealer B, on a larger scale the likelihood of inconsistency is higher when it comes to quality control.
Thirty two plus, plus
While we widely claim “32 steps” across our communications, sometimes more steps are required. This is because phones have features that vary from model to model. Features such as biometric identification, home button or silent switches may not be available on all models. When we claim “32 steps” we basically cover the minimum number of checks to ensure the functionality of the device.
More than appearances
Although we are meticulous about the outward appearance of our devices, the cosmetic grading does not fall under the 32 steps. This is because our technicians ensure the functionality, while a separate team looks at the grading of the device. At the core of all the devices we sell, functionality comes first, followed by how it looks. No point having a flawless looking phone that isn’t operational after all.
