I need to change my phone because its freezing up ! Quite old like me !

Do any of yiu have experience buying used phone from Carousel Direct ?

I mean from Carousel itself, not the sellers who advertise in Carousel. I want to know how reliable is their 7 days return policy.

Do they take back with no questions asked or much longer story !

Thanks

You have valid question, unlike some kids who were born yesterday.

Carousel is also on line platform, so why not from carousel ?
Many trusted hp seller, you may know them, but i dont. Its too generic.

I my self have been in carousel for 10 years and have bought and sold many items and bought phones from direct sellers. The current phone also from there.

But i have never bought directly from carousel, hence the question.

One thing for sure: don't skimp on average to low-end spec, else at best you will stuck with the phone for around 2 years until you feel like want to change to another phone

Buy a high spec phone now and you should be able to lasts at least 5-8 years
*
No, not skimping. Budget is rm2500. I already use this for 5 years, and i bought it 2nd hand. I thought can use until year end, but it froze pretty bad yest !!

The earlier phone i used for 6 years. So i know !
I am not the kind who simply change stuff or buy new. But when its time, i have to.

Wah i didnt even know carousell got sell direct.

I only use it to sell my stuff i dont need.

I mean now phone is cheap lah, if your phone is freezing, meaning its too old d. For normal usage, i assume you dont game, any mid range or low end android these days can get you by just fine.

Yeah no gaming. But i depend on i cloud s lot, so s bit sruck with over rated ipong.

Then continue with Iphones, just get the base model would do.

When i get a new phone, I always buy iphone base model from previous year because no big changes for iphones from one gen to the next.
*
True, thats how it should be done. Base model, old model. Easy on the pocket

Honor, oppo, vivo... All below 1k can get reasonable phone...

Why buy 2nd hand?
Who knows what they did with the phone previously.. Scratch butt, vibrator... Lol

Worse if fall into toilet bowl before

You are right. ! Now i can never buy a 2nd phone anymore, i am already a person who washes my hand every time i touch something which is not mine, with your post above, you just killed me 😅

It like i cannot unsee what i have seen.

Just buy from physical shop . 100% trusted than buying on9 with many risk , i mean u are old like me right ?
*
Yes i am old. Thats why i dnt trust online purchases with a high price. Thats is the reason for my post, asking about it.

Physical shop does not mean its safe, the shop is just selling someone’s phone with unknown status ! Their warranty is bullshit, they will never replace even there are obvious reasons for it.

Thats why i bought from direct owners where you can ask them all kinds of questions, they are not pro and will by mistake spill the beans.

Shop ? They know what to say ! Nevet bought used phone from shop !

Thsts the reason to find out about carousell’s 7 day warranty.

Anway, i dnt think i am going to go with it, when 700rm extra can get brand new ipong !!

Thanks for your reply.
