    Great phone, Pickup time needs improvement

    Great phone, excellent condition - Pickup time needs improvement I purchased the Refurbished S23 Ultra in Excellent Condition and I am very happy with it. The phone is in excellent condition, just as advertised, looks almost brand new. The camera quality has been great so far. It came in a generic box, which is expected for a refurbished item, and included the S Pen and a USB-C cable (no charger). My only complaint is about the pickup time. The listing said "Ready for pickup in 1 hour" but it took almost 24 hours to get the confirmation that my order was ready for pickup in store. That promise was not accurate, at least in my experience, and it's something Best Buy should improve. Overall, great product.

    Very disappointing experience

    I purchased this phone, and it was advertised as pre-owned, but there was no mention that the phone had previously been opened, repaired, or had an issue with the screen. I bought it as a gift for my sister, so I didn't immediately check every detail. Once we started using it, we discovered several problems. The screen is not original, and the phone clearly appears to have been opened before. The issue became especially noticeable when trying to take selfies. The front camera revealed problems that made it clear the phone had likely been opened and repaired previously. If a pre-owned phone has had its screen replaced or has been opened/repaired, this information should be clearly disclosed in the product description before purchase. I would not have bought this phone if I had known about these issues beforehand. This was a very disappointing purchase, especially since it was intended as a gift. I would like the seller to take responsibility and provide a refund or an appropriate solution.
