Hi,
Really glad the service was prompt and payment came through quickly — thank you for acknowledging that!
We're sorry the final offer was substantially below the initial quote. Our revised valuations are based on a thorough physical inspection, but we understand that gap can feel significant and we'd like to look into this further for you.
Please get in touch at contact@grademobile.co.uk with your order reference and we'll have it reviewed. And for future reference, booking directly through our website rather than through a comparison site gives a much clearer picture of our grading criteria upfront.
We hope to do better for you next time!

Hi,

We hear you on the initial offer and we appreciate you sharing that the counter offer process worked well for you. That flexibility is there for exactly this reason — we always want customers to reach a figure they're comfortable with.

Hi Ewan,
Really glad the service was great and fast — thank you!
Sorry to hear the strap wasn't quite the right fit — Apple Watch straps are universal so it's easy enough to find a replacement and there are plenty of great options out there. If the size supplied wasn't as listed, please do get in touch at contact@grademobile.co.uk and we'll look into it for you.
Hope you enjoy the watch!

Great product, would have been 5 stars but the quality of the watch strap was a letdown and we had to get a new one

Hi,
Really glad the product itself hit the mark — thank you for the kind words!
We're sorry the watch strap was a letdown and that you had to replace it. The strap quality is something we want to get right alongside the device itself and we'll take that feedback on board. If the strap didn't match what was listed or described, please do get in touch at contact@grademobile.co.uk and we'd be happy to look into it.
We'd love to earn that fifth star next time!

Easy process and quick payment
Easy process and quick payment. Rating 3 stars as the price did drop significantly (£150) from the original quotation and the reasons for doing so were weak.

Hi Ryan,
Thank you for the honest feedback and really glad the process was easy and payment came through quickly.
We're sorry the revised offer dropped by £150 and that the reasons given didn't feel justified to you. That's a significant revision and if you believe the inspection findings weren't accurate, we'd genuinely 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 device's condition before sending.
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.
We hope to earn those extra stars next time!

Hi Daniel,
Really glad the overall experience was fast — thank you for the kind words on that!
We're sorry the prepaid pack didn't reach you and that you had to cover your own packaging costs as a result. That's not the experience we want and something we'd like to look into. Please get in touch at contact@grademobile.co.uk with your order reference and we'll see about reimbursing you for that cost.
We appreciate you being so understanding about the valuation — and hope to see you again soon!

Don’t waste your time
Tried to sell a phone to them, original valuation was £200 and they offer £39, all the things they marked it down for are not true, don’t waste your time with them.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for sharing this and we're sorry the experience left you feeling this way.
A drop from £200 to £39 is a very significant revision and we completely understand your frustration, particularly if you believe the reasons cited for the reduction aren't accurate. We'd like to look into this properly.
Please remember you're always welcome to reject any offer and have your device returned to you free of charge — you should never feel pressured to accept.
Please get in touch at contact@grademobile.co.uk with your order reference and any photos you have of the phone's condition before sending, and we'll have the inspection reviewed by a senior member of the team.

Quick and easy payment
Quick and easy payment, but i feel a box to pack your phone and return would be safer than a small padded bag.

Hi Sheryl,
Really glad the payment was quick and easy — thank you!
That's a really valid point on the packaging — extra protection for devices in transit is something we're always looking to improve and we'll pass this feedback on internally. We'd always encourage customers to add their own additional packaging around the padded bag if they have it available.
Hope to see you again soon!
