Good Points

Prices look good on the website, and trade-in offers are exceptional.


Bad Points

I don't beleive Mobile Republic hold any stock at all. Worse still, they have no reliable way of estimating when stock will be available, and as such customers are completely in the dark as to when they might get their order fulfilled.


General Comments

It's my own fault. I read the Review Centre comments on Mobile Republic, but thought they CANNOT be that bad, can they? Well, they are. In fairness they've not taken any money from me (yet...), but they have consistently failed to give me a reliable estimate of when my order might be delivered. Worse still, when I eventually managed to get through to them by phone - I was told categorically that my order was in stock and would ship the same day. A week later they sent me an email with a new estimate for delivery...

If Mobile Republic really offered phones at the prices they indicate, delivered within three business days, and offered the trade-in prices they say they do, they would have fantastic deals. But they don't deliver any of this. I couldn't tell you how many items I have ordered over the Internet over the years, but I can tell you that Mobile Republic's customer service is far, far worse than any other Internet retailer I have ever come across. Take it from me - believe the reviews, avoid them.
