You thoughtfully put a Lighting cable in with the phone. But it is an iPhone 15 and only uses USB-C connections, so it is no use to me. A USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to USB-A cable would have been useful

I've bought several phones through gazelle with no issue, but my last one had blue tooth issues and I figured it was just a bad phone and ordered another. It never came and I had to fill out a form. Took over 30 days to be reimbursed

Gazelle stole my phone.

Gazelle stole my phone.
I was made an offer - I sent on phone - they decreased the offer by half - i declined the offer and they never sent back my phone nor did they pay even the half amount.
They do not respond to emails, deactivated my account and pretend it never happened.
They will steal your phone too if you give them the chance.

Simple and transparent.

Simple and transparent.
I have bought over 6 phones from Gazelle over the years and have always received exactly what I was expecting. Sure, they are used phones and not always in perfect condition, but that is why they are sold at a discount. Also they are not always the cheapest option, but the peace of mind that I will actually get what was advertised is worth the small premium.

Customer service is severely lacking

It took 2 weeks to get the phone and when I called customer service I was left on hold for my entire lunch break and had to hang up and go back to work. I then emailed, repeatedly, responses were slow and useless. The information provided through email did not address the specific questions I asked and was obviously a canned response to shipping questions. The experience would have been perfectly tolerable if I had been answered clearly and honestly the first time.

could not have had a worse experience

could not have had a worse experience. A day after my order, I was told it was on backorder, please wait it will ship soon. Over a week went by with no updates, so i reached out to customer service who told me they were canceling my order. Waited on hold over an hour to speak with someone just to tell me they won't help me.. oh but here's a $10 off promo code. I have bought several phones from Gazelle over the years, never again..

Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry that your experience did not go as expected. We understand how disappointing it must have been to place an order, be informed of a backorder.

I’ve bought several iPhones from Gazelle and they all arrived in pristine, working condition. At this point I doubt I would buy a new one directly from Apple. Gazelle gives me a model and price range that suits my budget and I don’t feel pressure to exceed what I want to pay. I’m very happy.

The ipad mini was in good condition. It arrived sooner than expected. The price was lower than any other company I checked with.

Cheap phones and even Cheaper Customer Service

We have been charged for a Phone and still have not received it. Fedex lost of the phone and Gazelle is basically non-existent as far as customer support. We have called and reached out to Gazelle 3 separate times each time they ask for the same information, then tell us to submit the same paper form, then tell us it will be 2, 3, 5 more business days. At this point Gazelle has our money, Fedex has claimed the package as lost and Gazelle is nowhere to be see. Did Gazelle reach out to Fedex to find out what happened to the package, nope! Eventually we may get our money back but it's going to be solely on us hounding gazelle. That's not customer service. Gazelle has never once initiated the contact or made any moves that indicate that its important to them that this issue get resolved. Someone needs to tell Gazelle that until the product is in your customers hands, they are on the hook and need to be involved.
