I sent my phone on Wednesday evening and on Friday morning I got a call to say it had been received and I would be getting the full agreed amount. The money was in my account with an hour. Very happy and would use again.

Order for IPhones

First time trying Frift and won’t be the last. I’ve sent two phones, one iPhone 12 that I got bang on what I was quoted. Quick easy service, sent a postage pack, sent the phone, they received it next working day and had the payment sorted. Will be receiving payment for the second phone and will be back to leave another great review. Would 100% recommend and will 100% use again.

AVOID THIS COMPANY

AVOID THIS COMPANY
Sent phone in told it had more damage than expected and offered a much lower price, after asking for the phone to be returned it took over a week with no communication, I chased four times and no response, eventually the third party agent got in contact with Frift and told them to send it back with took another week, absolute joke of a company, I then sent the phone to another company who paid the quote in full and said there was no damage, this place just try’s it on to pay you as little as possible and then thinks they can hold you to ransom AVOID

Don't trust what they quote

Was told one price and got sent a different price due to them saying ny phone was full of scratches according to the enginner tht looked at it. However when I rang them up to deny this they said "oh no it was because battery was below 80"

Hi Russ,

We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with the price reduction you were sent from the inspection team. We try to be as fair and transparent as possible and only reduce the offered price when the device requires some work to make it great again, as well as being in line with the current market.

We take all feedback onboard to continuously improve our operation, this will be taken into consideration.

Awful experience

I went through the Frift website to obtain a price to sell my iPhone 13 to them, it gave me a price of £346 based on the capacity, condition and battery life.
When I sent it to them they reduced the offer to £200, no explanation, just an email with the option to accept it or ask for the phone to be returned.
I tried to call about the offer and couldn’t get through at that time.
I rejected the offer and waited for the phone to be returned, after 2 weeks, I still hadn’t received the phone, so thought this was some sort of scam. I called again and this time was told they would send me the phone back.
Today I received the phone but with none of the original packaging or accessories I sent it with.
I called again and was told that I shouldn’t have sent those items with it… I was not told this at the time. After being on hold for 30 mins whilst they searched, I was told the box and accessories are not there, which I find hard to believe.
I am really disappointed with this service and the fact that I have lost all packaging which is going to cause this to be difficult to sell now.
I was told the price was so much lower
because there are superficial scratches on the screen, but I don’t really think it’s unreasonable for a device that is 2 years old and should be more upfront about this before going through the process of sending it all off.

Hi Gemma,

We're sorry to hear about your experience here with us at Frift. Rest assured, we evaluate each device on a case by case basis to offer the best price possible, and our quoted price is an ‘up to’ price, based on inspection and diagnostics.

We would like to apologise for the delay in returning your phone, unfortunately the time off for the Christmas period can cause a delay with returns. However, we were working hard to get this resolved for you.

Unfortunately, whilst we accept accessories and original packaging, we cannot guarantee that this will be returned as this would be recycled. This cam be found in our terms and conditions.

If you would like to discuss your experience in more detail, please don't hesitate to get in touch on 01606 558866 or support@frift.co.uk.

Best wishes,

Was worried about recent feedback

Was worried about recent feedback, I had a slight delay of 1 day from them receiving phone to confirmation but understandable due to time of year. No quibbles over price quoted and received money next day.

Posted my phone in over two weeks ago

Posted my phone in over two weeks ago, was given an offer but refused it. Since then I’ve sent about 4 emails and tried calling to trace the whereabouts of my phone and have it posted back to me. I got about two responses it none were to confirm my phone was being sent back to me and no tracking was provided. Worst decision to try sell to these guys

Only once customer service answered and after complain she said will contact you back till today finish. Phone goes on voice mail of ee. But its been two days now no response from them. Left voice message but nobody bothers to respond back. Its been over week but no response from the. . Everybody be aware of this company totally scam. Do not send your mobile for recycle. I am going to contact relevant authorises and also report them accordingly. No response so leaving review today to warn everyone...
