Mack Of All Trades Handyman Services - Reviews and experiences

I pictured texting on the bus with a cheap refurbished iPhone. I hesitated — sketchy review score, big sale, too-good-to-be-true price. Then they cancelled my order and my doubts stuck around. Refund's pending, prices climbed, shipping now slower. Ended up grabbing one from a local seller. Not perfect, but the phone works for emails and podcasts.

I remember the exact moment— a used iMac fired up clean with no surprises, and I relaxed. Over five years I bought two iMacs, two Mac Pros, a Mini and a few keyboards/mice from them. Every item matched the listing. After a few bad experiences with other sellers, that steady accuracy really won me over.

So, odd story — I sent my laptop in for a warranty repair and at first I was furious because they sent a beat-up unit back. I called, they admitted the mix-up and arranged a proper replacement (not just store credit), and I started using it that afternoon. The moment I knew I was satisfied was when I booted it up and everything ran smooth — apps loaded fast, battery behaved, no weird noises. It's not flawless (tiny scuff, took a bit longer than expected, had to call twice), but it works great now and I'm relieved.

I needed cash fast for a last-minute move, so I sent my 2015 MacBook in. I paid $15 to get a box and mailed it off. The device arrived fine, or so I thought. Their techs claimed it had “lots” of scratches and was missing multiple feet, when really it only lacked one small rubber foot. Customer service shrugged and the settlement was tiny — $20.25. You can ask for it back but you pay to ship it. Delivery of the box was straightforward, but the whole evaluation and support felt arbitrary. Relieved I had another backup, but disappointed overall.

scuffs on the bottom, a big scratch, and one corner of the chassis was bent so the base looked a bit warped. The worst was the screen housing — both left corners were dinged enough that the lid wouldn’t close flush. I contacted customer service and the reply was slow and didn’t really solve it, which is frustrating. I liked the battery option and it works fine, but the state it arrived in and the slow support have made me hesitant to order again unless they tighten up QC and the returns process.
