We only deliver to the registered address of the card holder. We realise this may inconvenience some people, but by doing this we are confident that we are helping to reduce credit card crime.

If no one is available to sign for the product, a card will be left and the parcel held at the local Royal Mail Depot for you to collect. Parcels will be held for 10 days before they are returned to Phones 4u. Please call the number specified on the card if you wish to re-arrange delivery, collect from your local Post Office or to re-direct the parcel to an alternative address.

As part of phones4u's commitment to security, we limit the amount of handsets sold per order to one. This is so that we can help reduce the levels of credit card fraud, and reduce delays for genuine customers. If you wish to order more than one handset you will need to place another order online.

Fortunately, this doesn’t happen very often. If it does, you can be sure that we’ll be there to help you.
