1. Orders
Ordering: How do I place an order?
An order can be placed in two ways:
1. You can do it by using our Website
2. You can do it by sending an email to our customer service: sales@mytrendyphone.co.uk
You can read more about it under Placing an Order.
Can I place an order over the phone?
No, unfortunately not. We do not have the authority to take your Credit/Debit card information over the phone as it is very sensitive and can easily be misused. Read more about it in our Security Policy.
Is there a price limit when placing an order with MyTrendyPhone?
No, there is not. We might however reject a payment regardless of the amount if we get indications from the bank. Those cases are extremely rare but it can happen that the bank advises us to reject a payment for security reasons.
Advantages: What advantages does MyTrendyPhone offer to me as a customer?
The most striking advantages at MyTrendyPhone are as follows:
- Original brands, straight from the warehouse
- Best prices for all kinds of accessories
- We have the fastest processing time when an order is placed
- You can place an order 24 hours a day
- Different ways to contact our customer service
How will I know that I have a valid order with MyTrendyPhone?
If this is the first time you are buying something from MyTrendyPhone and you are unsure of whether your order "went through" or not you should pay attention to the following:
› Did you receive a confirmation of your order by email within one hour? If not, your order probably didn't go through.
› Send an email to customer.care@mytrendyphone.co.uk or call 020 70 990 759 and our support department will check it for you.
Off course, the safest way would be to check it with your bank first. If they confirm that there is no amount waiting to be charged from your card, than you can be certain that you do not have an order pending with MyTrendyPhone.
2. Shipping & Delivery
Shipping: How much does it cost?
You can read about shipping costs under Delivery Information for each product. Current delivery fee can be viewed at any time by clicking here. Delivery charge applies per order. In other words, you pay the same amount, regardless of how many products you have ordered. Please note that shipping costs depend on two criteria: order value and shipping method.
Shipping: How do you dispatch the products?
All orders are protected and wrapped with care before being sent. Depending of your choice, the products can be delivered either by Royal Mail or UPS.
How long does it take to deliver a product?
If the product in your order for is available for delivery at the time of placing the order and if you have placed the order until 17:30, your order will be shipped the same day.
Time of delivery is indicated next to each product. If you order products with different delivery times on the same order, individual items in will be sent separately as the products arrive in stock.
You will get an email for each dispatch, and it usually takes 2-3 days for the products to be delivered to you with exception of Scottish Highlands*.
* It's been our experience that the majority of late packages arrive just a day or two after this estimated delivery period. Please be aware however that although NOT the norm, delays on this service can result in orders taking up to 15 days to arrive.
How can I be sure my order will be delivered to me as promised?
MyTrendyPhone is a retailer accredited by IDIS.

After you have transferred the money, you should provide a confirmation and upon the completion of that transaction, the products are sent to your desired address.

Price match guarantee: What does this mean?
MyTrendyPhone has found a way to sell products at even lower prices than usual. We are analyzing our competition on daily bases, and have decided to reward those customers that help us keeping up with the trend of having best prices on the market. For that purpose MyTrendyPhone provides a 30-day price match guarantee. To be eligible for the price-match guarantee, products must match in terms of brand, EAN number, colour, size, quantity and packaging. The competitor’s website must be registered in the United Kingdom with a VAT registration certificate (Vat number). The price of the product, including shipping fees, must be lower than the price indicated on the MyTrendyPhone website. The price guarantee does not apply to mobile phones, cordless phones, tablets, watches, music players, game consoles, TV & HiFi products, cameras, spare parts or repairs. Products sold at special promotional prices, as part of stock clearances, and those purchased directly from a manufacturer or authorised wholesaler do not qualify. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to offer price guarantees for products that cost more than 100 GBP.
The price-match guarantee applies only to private purchases, and not B2B sales.
If it should happen that you find an identical but cheaper product which meets all the aforementioned criteria, please submit documentation to sales@mytrendyphone.co.uk stating your MyTrendyPhone order number, as well as information on the bank account to which the price difference is to be transferred.
This guarantee only applies to the purchase itself, and cannot be combined with other offers / discounts, including the Club Trendy discount, flyers, coupons, promotions, etc.
Discount: How can I become a B2B customer?
If you are a customer that is ordering products in the name of a company, you have an opportunity to purchase products at privileged prices.
How does that happen?
You should send an email to us at sales@mytrendyphone.co.uk. You will be asked to provide some relevant company information that will allow us to confirm your identity and information we need for processing your orders in the future. As soon as that is done, you will receive your username and password and you need to be logged before you try to place an order.
* A B2B cannot be a Club Trendy Customer at the same time. Discounts do not stack.
Discount: Can I get a quantity discount and how?
This is relevant only for companies; it does not apply for private customers. So, if you are a company representative and you are interested in buying a bigger amount of some product, send an email to sales@mytrendyphone.co.uk, state the product code you are interested in, the amount and your desired delivery address, and you will get a response with estimated delivery time for that amount and the price you can get those products for. It can be quite a bargain!
Discount: Can I get a discount even if I am not ordering in the name of a company?
Yes, you can. You can become a member in our ClubTrendy and you will get 7% discount on all your future orders. Read more about ClubTrendy here. Please note that you have to be logged in before placing an order. Otherwise the discount won't apply and there is no possibility for post-order discount.

Refund: When do I get a full refund?

It means that if you wish to return a product to us, it must be in the same condition as when you received it. You cannot send back parts of a product (i.e. if the cover consists of a front and a battery cover, you cannot send back only one part).
In some cases, if the seal/packaging has been broken or damaged, the refund/replacement can be refused as well. This concerns especially the products software, some types of replacement batteries, memory cards, headsets or similar products. Different types of headsets are also excluded if the evidence of in-ear use has been detected and that is for hygiene reasons.
Damage: What should I do if the parcel is damaged in transport or has a manufacturer's error?
If you receive a product that has been damaged in transport or had a manufacturer's error, the best way to file a complaint would be either to contact us by sending an email to customer.care@mytrendyphone.co.uk or you can ring to +44 20 70990759.
