How this page differs from our US and Australian rankings. Our full TrustScore combines review evidence (50 pts), refurbishment transparency (20) and operations & legitimacy (20), plus a volume bonus (10). Transparency and operations require us to assess each vendor directly, and we have only done that work for the US and Australia. The scores below therefore show review evidence only, out of a possible 60 — they are not comparable with a TrustScore on refurbverify.com or refurbverify.com.au, and no vendor here can earn a Top Rated badge. A vendor is scored only where Trustpilot shows a GB-specific profile with at least 20 reviews, the majority of them from the UK. Everything else is marked Unrated with the reason shown.
