Well worth it! If anyone sends anything in to them and waits possibly an extra day for payment- don't panic. They appear to be extremely popular with buying second-hand tech, presumably because they o... See more

Great company, excellent service

This was my last use of Trade In for a while as I have no more tech, but as before, it was a seamless experience. Because my iPhone was only 12 months old I chose to pay for Special Delivery myself to make sure it was fully insured. I posted the phone on Monday and the money was in my account before breakfast on Wednesday. Brilliant, thank you.

Very happy with TradeIn

Very happy with TradeIn. Very easy to get a quote (which was better than anyone else!). Received the payment on the same day they got my phone. Happy to recommend them.

Quick and fast

Quick and fast - the funds are credited to my account within very short period of time once they confirmed receipt of my device. Always a good experience as this isn't my first time to send products to this merchant for trade-in

A good turnaround.

The overall process from sending the AppleWatch to receiving the money via BACS took 4 working days, I was a bit dubious after reading some one star reviews after I sent the watch but there was regular communication via email and WhatsApp. The original offer was reduced to a fair price as slight damage found on the watch. So overall experience was good.

Fast and price offered was great

Whole process is simple from getting a QR code for the post office to post, and then getting money into accounts once received. The price was double others were offering. Great service

A great service and an excellent price

A web search looking for the best price to sell a Samsung Tablet led me to Tradein. Their quote was one of the higher rates, but it was their customer feedback which influenced my choice. I sold it to them and posted the item using their parcel label and instructions. It was delivered to them within 48 hours, and the full offer was in my bank account less than 24 hours after. A guaranteed price, an excellent service and no hassle - I highly recommend Tradein to anyone looking to sell tech.

A company that stands out

Great service overall. The process of sending in my phone was surprisingly memorable — not the usual quick and forgettable transaction, but something that really stayed with me. Communication was minimal, which meant I didn’t get overwhelmed with unnecessary details (refreshingly simple in today’s world). Wholeheartedly recommend to those of you looking for a different kind of phone selling experience!
