    Not Amazon but some of their providers can be. I forget now how it works, but it's when you don't buy direct from Amazon but from one of it's sellers, sorry can't remember exactly the finer detail but the answer is yes. Never ever use a debit card. I know you have the same cover but CC protection is quicker.

    That's pretty much what it is

    Third party sellers sell fakes

    That's the words i was looking for 'Third party sellers' - They hit 21,000 customers in one year, in a report from 2017. Always read the reviews.

    Buy a used one off eBay via PayPal if you don’t want to pay sticker price.

    Once you look into it they become obvious tbh.

    The main thing with cheaper priced stuff can simply be down to European models

    Problem with stuff like second hand used phones on eBay is that you can get a model which has a fault common with a model and you have to live with it whereas the previous owner got sick of it

    That's another problem. New is usually better. Usually.

    Yep. I got one of these from a Chinese seller but Amazon do it for about £50 more

    Read the spec and you'll see it's a great phone Evan at this higher price

    That's true as well.

    Although I have had stuff back in after 6 months so tend to stick to "known" sellers rather than simply cheap

    Have tbh mate and say I think I used them once for a washing machine but not 100% sure it was them as it was a while back

    But I know plenty who use them and rate them and a quick Google shows they have 4.5 out 5 stars in reviews

    The real issue for me is I'm not sure how good the honor lite9 phones are. The spec looks decent but never had one

    Haven't seen or heard but doesn't surprise me.

    Stoke fans are ****s mate. I have very close and first hand experience. The old victoria ground was a nightmare for the locals

    I know a few N40 as I grew up with them. They all have N40 ... Number plates <laugh>

    It is mate and what's more hilarious is if you've watched the foot all factory these are less the Danny Dyer character and more the fat bloke who sells flowers and cocaine <laugh>

    Basically fat blokes in beamers , who struggle to get out of the car<laugh>
