Let's Help in an Epic Way

The team at Epic Deals is passionate about helping people who have different abilities – those with limits that have held them back in the past. 

If you’ve ever dealt with our team, you might be surprised to know that some of our team can’t see at all and some have hands that don’t work quite the same as you’d expect.

We Truly Care

Our Vision and Progress

Our Progress

web_browsing

We have a blind team member who does vital record-keeping and phone call work. He is one of our longest-standing employees.

We have helped a friend of ours, who is paralyzed from the neck down, learn to control a MacBook Air and an iPad with his voice.

We helped a client set up an iPad Pro for his son (who battles cerebral palsy) access a whole new world of Google and YouTube.

We don’t care about buzzwords. As a team, we’ve never discussed “Inclusion” as a topic. What we do discuss is how we can help those around us. It’s as simple as that.

What we want to do is use our access to used tech products to help people who might not be able to use phones or computers properly because of a disability.

We have access to Apple products and they have some impressive accessibility features.

HOW CAN WE DO MORE?

We don’t have some “grand plan”. We try help as opportunities arise and see where that leads.

There could be many different scenarios

Helping visually-impaired individuals through one-on-one training with our team member who is visually impaired.

Donating products (where we can) to disabled people, where the supply of the products would significantly impact their world, and ideally, enable them to learn new skills and possibly gain employment. We could try help them find work in our business, or through our business network.

Supplying discounted tech products to disabled people.

Add new remote team members, who might have battled to gain employment because they are physically limited and can’t travel to a workplace.

Team up with organisation that are already doing good work in this space.

If you have any ideas around how we could help more people, or if you know of people who might benefit from what we are trying to do, please mail [email protected] and let’s get the conversation going.

Device Grades

  • Not all functions working
  • Deep scratched on screen or casing
  • Cracks
  • Water damaged, but working 

The device is functional without additional repairs, but has notable damage to major components. It’s more like Eskom – it’s great if it works but you know you can’t trust it. It could fail at any time.

Issues that would put a device in this category would include a cracked or broken screen, a damaged casing, faulty battery, broken Touch or Face ID sensors and any other components required for the device to be in full working order. Deep scratches, cracks, or dents would qualify the device as poor condition.

  • Everything works. No major damage. Most “normal” devices fit into the “Good” classification.
  • Only used phones that are practically brand new fit under the “Mint” classification.

 

The device is fully working and does not require any repairs to be used further. Minor evidence of previous use in the form of small scratches and scuffs are acceptable. 

Battery maximum capacity (visible in Settings > Battery > Battery Health) must be at 90% or above. If it’s lower than that, we would have to replace the battery before the phone can be resold. A fee of R250 will be deducted from the payout, to go towards covering this cost.

  • Everything works. No signs of previous use. 
  • Only used phones that are practically brand new fit under the “Mint” classification.

The device is fully working and does not require any repairs to be used further. The device has absolutely no signs of previous use, not even minor scuffs or scratches are visible, the device is as good as new.

Battery maximum capacity (visible in Settings > Battery > Battery Health) must be at 95% or higher. 

  • New and sealed.
  • The plastic wrapping around the box hasn’t even been opened.

 

The device still has all original factory seals intact with no evidence of tampering. The box has been been unsealed or opened, and the device has never been used. Devices must be free from any contractual obligation.
