If your mobile phone has evidence of damage such as a smashed screen or heavy scratches, don't worry, we can still buy this from you. Just make sure you choose the correct condition when selling with us.
The price of phones will depreciate on a regular basis, so make sure you trade in and send back quickly so you can guarantee the price you're quoted. We'll hold your price for 14 days, but we can't guarantee it won't drop after these two weeks.
After trading in your Samsung or iPhone we'll email you with instructions on how to prepare your device, how to safely package your phone, how to send your device back, and what will happen once you've shipped your phone. All smartphones we receive will go through our processing team where they'll put your device through industry leading diagnostic software before doing a visual grading check. This is where we'll check the hardware and software to ensure there are no issues. If everything is ok then we'll pay you directly into your account on the same day.
If your device has any problems or is different to what has been declared, we'll contact you to let you know. You can decide if you wish to accept the offer at that point, or whether you'd like to have the device back.
