AMAZING customer service and processing. 10/10!

BuyBack surgeon made my first time selling my phone very quick and easy! The customer service I received from Sarah was AMAZING. The entire team made me feel at ease about selling my phone. They are very honest and fair with their pricing as well. 10/10 service. I absolutely recommend trusting them with your future orders.

Over the top customer service.

BUY BACK SURGEONS, IS HONEST, AND I WOULD RECOMMEND USING THEM IF YOU HAVE ANY OLD PHONES AND DON'T WANT TO DONATE OR THROW THEM AWAY. GO TO THERE WEB SITE ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS AND GET A FAIR QUOTE. THEY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND THERE OBLIGATIONS TO GET US PAID ASAP. SO IF YOUR LOOKING FOR AN HONEST PLACE TO SELL YOUR PHONE ONLINE BUY BACK SURGEONS IS SECOND TO NONE HANDS DOWN.

The process is legitimate and they do…

The process is legitimate and they do pay you for your phone. Beforehand though, I reviewed my iPhone with an ATT rep, and they told me my phone was worth at least 600$ (not including other sellers quotes, trade-in 700$, etc.) plus the phone was in great condition. Anyway, I got a shipping label, and ultimately, sent off my phone to them. Later, I got an email from BuyBack Surgeons Rep indicating that my phone was not mint (which i understand- it's not new) but it was in great shape, 512GB and no scratches. Anyway, then they proceeded with offering me $405, not 495$ per their assessment (used, not mint). I accepted the lowball offer since I didn't want to fuzz with having them send it back to me. All in all, I would suggest to any seller to be patient and sell your phone on your own, locally if you can.

Very grateful for the amazing customer service!

So, T-Mobile finally tells me I have to return my old phone two full weeks after I get my new phone. The problem? I've already mailed it to Sarah at Buyback Surgeon after they gave me a better offer for it than anyone else. Realizing I'm an idiot, I scramble to get in touch with Sarah, calling and sending an email in a near-panic. But it's no worry at all. Sarah takes care of it for me. I offer to Paypal them for return postage and, like it's no problem, Sarah has my phone turned around and sent back to me in a flash. I can only imagine how busy they are without having to deal with my problem, but Sarah was amazing, patient and very kind. Honestly, these days this kind of amazing customer service is hard to find, which makes it all the more important to me that I leave this review to let everyone know that Buyback Surgeon is an absolutely fantastic company to do business with. I am eternally grateful to Sarah for helping me out after my stupid mistake. Thank you so much, Sarah!

Easy Process

I was a little nervous about the process of selling my phones to an online buyer but the Buyback team made this easy and painless. If I ever need to sell any other phones or electronic devices will use them again.

Incredible Customer Service and Response Time! Highly Recommend!

The people at BuyBack Surgeon were AMAZING! Sarah in customer service was extremely quick to email back, answering questions or making the process of selling my old phone easier.

I originally sent my iPhone 8 Plus to them hoping to get a few bucks back because the front and back screen were damaged and ended up getting $50 for it! I then talked to them about my other old phone, an iPhone 11, and Sarah told me I could get more than double that for it if I sent it in.
Probably the best part of the customer service was being able to Venmo me the payout for the iPhone 8 rather than PayPal. This was way easier because funds aren’t held for any extended period of time! I also got the payment the day after the phone arrived in PA which was super quick. Made my life way easier with them being so accommodating.
I will definitely be sending other old phones their way when the time comes. Highly recommend checking them out, they’re good people!

Effortless Process

Sarah from BuyBack Surgeon made the process effortless and seamless. I wish I would have known about this company sooner. I have a ton of old phones I could have sold. Communicating via email is the best way. I definitely will recommend this company to my friends and family.

Buyback Surgeon is the BEST Buyer You Will Ever Sell To!

My experience with Buyback Surgeon was amazing! It was my first time selling an electronic device, and I must say that their team made me feel very safe, as they are very fast to communicate and do so quite thoroughly. If you are someone who has qualms about selling your devices online versus going to an actual store, have no fears about Buyback Surgeon! They are the best of the best. 5 stars for customer service, quickness, and immediate payment, as promised on their website! Thank you, Buyback Surgeon!

Sold my iPhone

I was looking to sell my iPhone 8 and selected Buyback Surgeon after reading all the positive reviews. I had a great experience! They were in contact with me shortly after mailing my phone to them and made me an offer. My phone needed to be wiped and they walked me thru that as well. In less than a week, I received the check for my phone.

Very good experience with Buyback Surgeon/Flipsy

This is my first time selling a brand new iPhone online. It was quite daunting to send my iPhone to a total stranger with whom I never met, especially before I got paid. Buyback Surgeon turned this into a very pleasant experience. I found Buyback Surgeon via Flipsy (another pleasant company to deal with), followed the instructions and got my check in the mail about 2 weeks after I shipped my phone.

I shipped my phone on a Monday, and the phone arrived at Buyback Surgeon address (they provided a USPS label free of charge) on Thursday. Buyback Surgeon started to check my phone next Monday and a check was cut Wednesday. It took about 5 days for the check to arrive.

Buyback Surgeon has a progress tracker on its website once you are registered. Do not rely on this update - Just wait for their email (check your spam folder because this was where I found their email). Be patient. Also, sending them email is the best way to reach them and get a response (same for Flipsy).

Thank you Buyback Surgeon and Flipsy for a pleasant selling experience.
