O2 priority Sale purchase

[Justabout]

I recently purchased some Airpods using priority on a £20 sale deal. The Airpods are great and they work well, very comfortable to use.
But I bought them on a click and collect, and on the pack the sender was Brightstar 20:20. When you recycle a device with Apple you send it to Brightstar. Can you tell me if I have purchased refurbished Airpods?

Hi @Justabout This isn't O2 you are talking to and we'd have no idea what you bought, however, you can probably tell yourself by the packaging they came in as O2 refurbished products come in plain boxes.

If you got the correct retail packaging, I'd say safely that they were new items.

No they are definitely new although it would have been cheaper going direct to Brightstar, after all, O2 want their commission . But O2 use various sources for their accessories  so don't worry, they don't do used unless specifically stated.

Brightstar are a distributor and don’t sell direct to the consumer and in this instance o2 are using them to supply goods rather than stocking the product in their own warehouses or DHL’s

I was going to do this as well, through o2 Priority. Filled in the form as normal, but I couldn’t for the life of me find anywhere to put the priority code! And I’ve heard nothing good about o2’s delivery service and stocking system. (I already knew about the stocking system!) I gave up in the end and bought them directly from Apple. They arrive on the day specified in the despatched email with no problems and I think they great! No discount but no panicking either!
