Due to the high amount of fraud in online shopping these days, we must use a complex fraud verification system, provided by Shopify. If your order was deemed Medium or High fraud risk - it will be auto-cancelled and payment authorization released within 48 hours.

I ordered a phone from GENIUS GOODZ, but received a package from a different company.

If certain Model, Color or Memory is not available at the time of purchase, we reserve the right to dropship that order from one of our suppliers to you directly. But rest assured that it will be exactly the same Memory and Color combination that you've ordered, and it will meet our quality standards!

I ordered an older Samsung model, and the display has reflections/shadows on a white background.

That effect is called Screen Shadow - it is not considered a defect or malfunction, as long as the display is properly working and is touch responsive. Samsung uses OLED screen technology that starts to show ghosting effect on white background, this happens approximately after 4-5 years of daily use and is considered a natural aging process of the OLED matrix.

I purchased an iPhone, and it's displaying the "Unknown Part" message in the Settings.

If your device had a battery or screen replaced, and OEM parts were used - you might see that message. It doesn't affect phone's functionality in any way and not considered a defect.
