What is Daraz Like New (DLN)?
Daraz Like New or DLN in short is the online marketplace’s latest vertical that sells second-hand phones with quality. This segment is very useful for online buyers who want to save a few bucks and buy a phone of their liking. But when we talk of buying used products, we become skeptical and biased about the quality and the state of the products. Daraz says that it only delivers trustworthy and quality pre-owned phones with its DLN initiative.
Being one of the leading online marketplaces in Nepal, Daraz makes sure that its second-hand phone selling remains as reliable as it can be. Here are the key attributes to the Daraz DLN which will give you peace of mind while buying used phones off its platform.
No Compromise on Quality and Trust
Daraz assures that it prioritizes a commitment to trustworthy quality phones. The company has over 60 quality checkpoints at which experts will meticulously examine all the phones to ensure that every phone achieves the highest standards before reaching customers’ hands.
Additionally, Daraz categorizes phones into two categories- Grade A+ and Grade A. The Grade A+ phones bear no visible scratches or dents while the Grade A devices come with minimal scratches.
Transparent billing
Daraz says that every second-hand phone sold through the Daraz DLN campaign comes with a VAT bill. This is to ensure the highest form of financial transaction and maintain the trust the company has achieved with customers. Additionally, the seller Sabko Phone is assuring customers of a 3 to 6-month warranty on the available phones. Daraz believes that it reflects a sense of after-sales commitment assurance from the online shopping site.
So, while a warranty keeps the phones protected for a good few starting months, the packaging will play its part too. Every used phone comes with carefully customized packaging before they are shipped to the customers’ doorsteps.
A commitment to sustainability
Similarly, by selling quality used phones, Daraz is also manifesting its commitment to the environment. If you are not aware, tons of e-waste accumulate globally every year in the electronic industry. Just read this post: Over 5 billion Mobile Phones are to be dumped in 2022. This is a result of the habit of discarding phones early and manufacturing new ones at a pace. But this can be reduced by recycling or reusing phones.
Daraz says that its Daraz Like New offshoot service allows customers to buy premium devices at a steal cost “making high-quality technology accessible” to a larger customer.
