How We Source & Check
Our promise
Every order passes seven checks before it ships. If a product you receive is not a genuine product of the brand shown on its listing, we refund it in full, including any shipping you paid.

Phone accessories are an easy category to get wrong. The same model name covers three different sizes, listings get copied between sellers until nobody knows what is in the box, and a case that is one millimetre out is useless. This page sets out what actually happens between a product being listed here and it arriving at your door.
The seven checks behind an order
We buy through established supply channels for the brands shown on each product page. We do not buy unbranded stock and relabel it, and we do not list a brand name on a product that did not come to us under that brand.
Stock is checked on arrival. We are looking for sealed retail packaging in the condition it should be in — not crushed, not opened, not shelf-worn, not a returned unit repacked. Anything that fails this does not go into sellable stock.
We check that what is meant to be in the box is in the box: the retail carton, inserts, cables, adapters, alignment frames, wipes, and installation kits that the product is supposed to ship with. Missing accessories are one of the most common problems in this category and they are easy to catch before dispatch.
Before an order is packed we check the device model and variant against the listing you ordered from. iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are different sizes and are not interchangeable; the same is true across the Galaxy S and Fold ranges. This step exists because wrong-model dispatch is the single biggest avoidable failure in phone accessories.
Specifications, compatibility notes, colour names, and imagery are written against the product as we hold it, not copied from a supplier sheet. Where a manufacturer makes a protection, charging, or water-resistance claim, we attribute it to the manufacturer rather than restating it as our own.
Orders are packed to survive transit, with fragile items given extra protection. You get a tracking number once the courier has the parcel, and tracking details are on your order confirmation.
Tell us within 48 hours of delivery with your order number and clear photographs of the item, the packaging, and the shipping label. We resolve wrong, damaged, incomplete, and defective items under our Return & Refund Policy, and a product that is not genuine is refunded in full under the Genuine Product Guarantee below.
The Genuine Product Guarantee
If a product you receive is found not to be a genuine product of the brand shown on its listing, we will refund it in full, including any shipping you paid, once the item has been returned to us. Report a concern within 48 hours of delivery with your order number and clear photographs of the item, its packaging, and the shipping label.
This guarantee covers product identity. It does not cover preference of size or fit, colour variation between a screen and a physical product, normal wear, damage caused after delivery, or products bought from any seller other than Vantage Goods. Any manufacturer warranty is separate from this guarantee and is described on our Warranty, Authenticity & Limits page.
The full clause is section 8 of our Terms of Service.
