Lacking integrity
I feel like this is one of those companies that lure you in with a tempting cost then knock you down significantly once you've sent it, and I don't trust companies who operte with that lack of integrity.

Hi Alex,
Thank you for sharing your concerns and we want to address them directly.
We understand why a significant difference between an initial quote and a revised offer can feel that way, and we're sorry the experience left you feeling misled. That is genuinely not our intention. Our revised offers are based on a thorough physical inspection of the device and factors such as battery health and condition grading, which can sometimes result in a different figure from the online estimate.
We always want customers to feel the process is transparent and fair. You're always welcome to reject any offer and have your device returned free of charge — we never want anyone to feel trapped into accepting.
For future reference, booking directly through our website rather than through a comparison site gives a much clearer picture of our grading criteria upfront, which can help set more accurate expectations from the start.
If you'd like us to look into your specific case, please do get in touch at contact@grademobile.co.uk with your order reference.

My experience with GRADE MOBILE online…
My experience with GRADE MOBILE online has been amazing so far. I entered a GRADE MOBILE giveaway and found the brand really professional online. The instructions were clear, and it's great to see a company that values customer feedback enough to ask for reviews. Good experience overall with their online presence. Would recommend checking them out.

Simple and fast process
Simple and fast process. Very happy with service. I did request a free postage bag which was sent promptly however it was a thin bag and some bubble wrap. I used my own padded Jiffy bag for the safety of the device I was returning. Perhaps improve the quality of the postage bag; I wouldn’t mind paying for it.
I received a small gesture from Grade Mobile for my time providing a constructive review, but it was not conditional on being positive. My order ID is GMB277014.

Hi Daniel,
Really glad the overall service was simple, fast and left you happy — thank you!
The packaging feedback is really appreciated and noted. You're not the first to mention this and it's something we're actively looking at improving. The fact you'd even consider paying for better protection shows just how much you care about getting it right — and we share that commitment. We'd always encourage customers to add their own additional protection if they have it, exactly as you did.
Thank you for such constructive feedback and we hope to see you again soon!

Hi Kevin,
Thank you for sharing this and we're sorry the revised offer fell so far below the initial quote on a phone you describe as excellent condition.
A drop from £209 to £89 is significant and if you believe the damage cited wasn't present when you sent the device, we'd like to look into it. Please get in touch at contact@grademobile.co.uk with your order reference and any photos you have of the phone beforehand and we'll have the inspection reviewed.
Please also remember you're always welcome to reject any offer and have your device returned free of charge.
For future reference, booking directly through our website rather than through a comparison site gives a much clearer picture of our grading criteria upfront, which can help set more accurate expectations.

Terrible service and quote
I tried selling 2 phone, and even after emailing several times 10 days later i still haven’t received the paperwork or packaging for one off them!
The one i did receive the paperwork for they quoted me £115 for they offered me £30 as the battery was about 5% less then what they wanted, they said there were marks on the front and back of it, even though i had photos of it before i sent it away showing no marks on it, so when i refused it and asked for it to be sent back they asked what i wanted for it i just said £60 and they agreed straight away, so it was obviously worth a lot more than they offered but were just trying to rip me off, how many other customers have they done this to and they have just taken the first offer?
Certainly not a company i would trust again!!

Hi Lee,
Thank you for sharing this and we're sorry the experience fell short on multiple fronts.
Firstly, not receiving the packaging for your second phone after 10 days and multiple emails is completely unacceptable and we apologise for that. Please get in touch at contact@grademobile.co.uk with your order reference and we'll chase this immediately.
On the valuation — if you have photos showing the phone had no marks before sending, that's exactly the kind of evidence we should be reviewing. A £30 offer on a £115 quote, which then jumped to £60 the moment you pushed back, is something we take seriously and would like to investigate. Please include those photos when you contact us.
We hear the broader concern you're raising and we're committed to making sure every customer feels the process is fair and transparent.

Started off well and went down hill from there….
After filling in a questionnaire and being quoted a price, I quickly received a pre paid label and packaging. I send it off and the item arrived quickly, that’s where things stopped being so good.
I was then offered a price nearly £200 cheaper than the original offer. I refused this and countered offered, they then increased the offer by £70 and I either had to have it send back or accept. I was on holiday at the time so decided to accept but won’t be using them again.

Hi Sam,
Thank you for sharing this and we're sorry the experience took a turn after such a smooth start.
A drop of nearly £200 from the initial quote is significant and we completely understand why accepting felt like the only practical option given the circumstances. We're glad the counter offer process at least brought it up, but we hear that it still wasn't where it should have been.
If you'd like us to review the inspection findings on your order, please do get in touch at contact@grademobile.co.uk with your order reference — we'd like to understand what drove that revision.
For future reference, booking directly through our website rather than through a comparison site gives a much clearer picture of our grading criteria upfront, which can help set more accurate expectations before sending a device in.
We're sorry we let you down and hope to have the chance to change your mind in the future.
