A follow-up on Txtdomz, Reporo & Envirofone
TXTDOMZ
Remember I wrote this post about the condoms-by-text service, Txtdomz? Well they arrived the next day, as promised, in an unmarked padded envelope. Excellent service!
REPORO
I also wrote about Reporo. If you recall, I ordered Terminator 2 for 50p from CDNOW via Reporo. I immediately received a confirmation email and the DVD arrived a few days later as promised.
ENVIROFONE
Finally, I wrote that I’d signed up with Envirofone and was waiting for their welcome pack. Well, that arrived a day or so afterwards. I then set-about collecting some old phones. I came up with three immediately: 2 x Sony Ericsson T300’s and one SPV E200. Chucked them into the back, completed the supplied card with my username and posted off the package (free post). I should have about £50 credited to my account shortly. Excellent!
I sent two phones to envirofone back in June (almost three months ago) and have heard nothing since. The status of the phones on their website is ‘waiting’, which essentially means I’ve lost the phones.
Posted by armcurl on September 3rd, 2007 at 10:15 am.The £10 they were worth barely makes it worthwhile chasing them up with the mail company and I definitely won’t be using envirofone again or recommending them to anyone.
They did take quite a while for me — at least a month, from memory.
Posted by Ewan on September 3rd, 2007 at 10:17 am.Envirofone looks like a rip off shop to me. Apparently a Nokia N93i is worth £35?? Err hello the phone retails for well over 10 times that amount and the used value is still well over 5 times that amount. Funnily enough, genuinely ‘old’ phones have no value or next to no value at all, and according to the site no charitable donation will be given on these phones. So basically rather than wasting your time you may as well just throw a genuinely old phone in a plastic recycling bin…
Posted by ebay on November 16th, 2007 at 1:48 pm.I sent a PERFECT Nokia 6111 to them, after waiting weeks I was told the phone was deemed “not in perfect condition” which is complete bollox as I work in a phone shop and know the difference. Of course I protested and said fine send me the phone back….therin lies the problem…heard noting since.
AVOID
