Assalam Alaikum all 
I'm looking for a new phone, under 20k.
I was wondering about used phones, the kind that are being offered by shops like Swift Connections, who claim that their phones are imported from USA and UK and have been very little used. And since it is my first time buying a used phone, I'm having doubts and so I was wondering what you guys have to say on the subject?
I was interested in something along the lines of a used Moto X (2013) which the above mentioned shop is selling for 18k.
What do you guys think? are these shops reliable?

Jbtw to anyone wanting to buy a used phone who happens to read this thread in the future, be sure to check out Star City Mall in Sadder, Karachi. You'll find shops selling used phones in immaculate condition which are reasonably priced. And the best part is you can check the device on the spot to make sure it's what you want.
Personally, I bought my Moto X from Shop No 53, First Floor, Star City Mall. You can go there, or check out other shops. They are much better than online shops which ripping people off.
[I'm not marketing any shop. I'm just making a point. I had a good experience with the shop I mentioned. You may or may not have the same experience. And be sure to check whatever you buy from anywhere, thoroughly before paying them. I spent about 40 mins checking the phone before making the payment.
Never ever buy anything used without checking it thoroughly. Cash on delivery for a used item is just plain stupid.]
And anyone planning to order anything from bytes.pk, remember, 90% of people who have commented in this thread have found bytes.pk unreliable. (as of 10th April, 2015.)
Their services may improve with time, but as of today, you'd be better off not wasting your time with them.
