Anyone ever used http://applerefurbished.co.uk/?

They're selling a 16GB iPhone 4 for £385, supposedly with 12 month Apple Warranty.

Are they legit?

Where else might I get a 16GB iPhone 4 refurb?

This Limited Warranty applies only to hardware products manufactured by orfor Apple that can be identified by the “Apple” trademark, trade name, or logo affixed to them. The Limited Warranty does not apply to any non-Applehardware products or any software

Two typos in a copied and pasted warranty? I wouldn't trust them. Pretty sure they're not an authorized distributor.

Well you can pay through paypal which is a good sign.

What are you worried about? them scamming money or getting a dodgy product?

Not too sure how they honor the warranty though

honestly, paypal means nothing. as some are aware, a lot of money goes missing because of paypal, and its biased opinion towards businesses.

i personally wouldn't trust anyone who isn't a registered company and doesnt not have their VAT # etc on show, let alone not being able to see them face-to-face.

searching for the CO & address (which looks residential, not checked) brings up nothing..

bullet point 2 of their T&C:

bullet point 8:

quoting another website (presumable theirs)

..and as someone above pointed out, there are spelling errors everywhere on the site, even the T&C which should generally be overlooked by lawyer/insurance.

Save up the extra 125 quid and go to an Apple Store. It's not worth risking it.

Id buy it from Apples website if they offered that kind of discount, but from a guy called Omar Gashi selling through paypal? Um... No...
