“Good condition” or “like new”? Choose refurbished smartphones from Hubside.Store yourself

“Good condition” or “like new”? It’s hard to judge the condition of a refurbished product when you don’t have it in front of you. This is a recurring problem in this market, which is mainly made up of brands that operate 100% online. This is all the more unfortunate for this growing sector, which extends the life of electronic devices while saving money.

This difficulty, Hubside.Store overcomes it very simply thanks to a vast network of physical stores. The “made in France” brand has more than 80 throughout France and a total of around a hundred in Europe. In 2022, Hubside.Store plans to continue its deployment by targeting 100 new stores.

Physical stores were lacking in the refurbished market

What better way to know the appearance of a refurbished smartphone than to have it in your hands? This is the advantage of physical stores. Hubside.Store, which has a merchant site and a network of stores, allows you to examine refurbished products in detail before making a purchase. An additional reassuring step, since any impacts or scratches can be assessed by you.

If a store does not have what you are looking for, it is quite possible to place an order on the site and select the “click and collect”. The product will then be waiting for you in the store, and will be ready to be examined from every angle. Hubside.Store also applies a 30-day “satisfied or refunded” guarantee. So you don’t have to decide right away.

A catalog that offers much more than smartphones

Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei… The Hubside.Store stores have a wide selection of products from the biggest brands. There are refurbished smartphones of course, with products ranging from “good condition” to “perfect condition”, but also brand new devices. In both cases, smartphones sold by Hubside.Store are guaranteed for 24 months. What reassure those who fear that the life of a refurbished smartphone is reduced.

Beyond smartphones, Hubside.Store also offers many other products in its catalog, whether new or refurbished:

• computers (MacBook Pro or Air);
• tablets (iPad of various configurations, Samsung Galaxy Tab, etc.);
• connected watches (Apple Watch, Samsung Watch, Garmin, etc.).

Hubside.Store also has the particularity of offering a wide range of services concerning the rental of certain products. Need a drone or an electric scooter for the holidays, or a car for a getaway? The brand offers you to rent them between 1 and 10 days per month, from just 9.99 euros with the Hubside Pass’Location offer.

Refurbished products in France, and by Hubside.Store

Hubside.Store not only sells refurbished products, it also repairs them. The brand has its own repair center, located in France. It employs 100 technicians and repairers who recondition the devices before sending them to the store with original manufacturer parts. All products are tested (software and hardware side), and repaired if necessary. Everything happens on a local scale, thus avoiding round trips abroad. This circular economy logic is one of the pillars of Hubside.Store.

You can also help expand the Hubside.Store product catalog. The brand offers to buy back the smartphones that you bring to it. The physical aspect is examined by the brand, which will give you an estimate and a buyback proposal. The device will then be sent to the Hubside.Store workshop to give it a second life.

For products that are too old or damaged, Hubside.Store undertakes to recycle them. A gesture not only responsible, but also supportive, which allows you to obtain a voucher of 15 euros to use in store. At the same time, 10 euros are also donated to Emmaüs Connect.
