HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Attempted to purchase “brand new” AirPods from phonebot. After 2 days of using them, they stopped working. After a full charge the battery would last less than 45 minutes.
I was told by phonebot to take the product to Apple to get the warranty replacement. Once at Apple they did a diagnostics test and there was a clear record of the case being swapped previously and neither the serial number of the case or the AirPods themselves matched!
Not only was I sold these as brand new which was a complete lie, they were void of warranty and I was left with nowhere to go.
I attempted to get in contact with someone from phonebot for WEEKS. Constantly being told I would get called back by the manager as no staff is able to deal with any customer complaint other than him apparently, which in itself is a joke.
They refused to acknowledge they had lied to me claiming they sold brand new AirPods - or take any ownership over fact that I had not only been sold a USED and REPLACED case, I was also sold fake aipods that did not even match the case’s serial number.
After days waiting to hear back I finally get told my the manager that I wasn’t allowed a refund!! He refused to refund and told me to send them back to have them swapped. I did this - and have now been waiting well over a week and heard nothing! I was given a tracking number that doesn’t show up on auspost and no one is explaining why!
DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.
Save yourself the anguish, the stress, financial loss and go with a reputable Apple reseller.
It’s now been almost two months and I still don’t have the product I PAID FOR IN FULL.
