Honestly will never look elsewhere

Honestly will never look elsewhere. Second time I’ve come here and their direct communication, quick replies makes this process so much easier. Always referred them to anyone who needs to sell their phone/laptop etc. And shout out to my brother for referring me haha

Honestly I am so impressed

Honestly I am so impressed. I was given a free upgrade 2 days ago which was the same as the phone I already have. I contacted this company that day, received the pre-paid envelope yesterday morning, sent my phone that same day, and today it has been received, reviewed and payment sent/recieved. Cannot speak highly enough of them, no fuss at all

Fab company

Fab company. I got my quote online and was happy with it. Used their pre paid postage which came with tracking and this arrived the next day. Sent my phone off the same day the postage envelope came. Phone arrived the next day, I received an email stating they had received the phone. A couple of emails requesting some paperwork and ID and payment was in my account within the hour. Happy and very quick. Would highly recommend.

Best company by far on selling my phone…

Best company by far on selling my phone to. Device was sent yesterday afternoon, arrived today, an email was sent to me requesting further documentation which I sent, after this was accepted within a matter of minutes and payment sent literally five minutes later.
