However, some customers also noted that initial price quotes are frequently reduced once devices arrive at the office for inspection.

Prompt service and payment but not…

Prompt service and payment but not surprisingly the initial quote was downgraded due to some declared minor flaws. These would be difficult to dispute and the revised offer was good enough.
I would be wary of using them for a high end phone as should you want it back there is a £10 charge

Poor price offered

Although the service is fast and efficient and payment is same day I was not happy with the valuation. I was tempted by their £80 estimate for my iPhone 11. My phone was immaculate with no scratches front or back. First offer £45 claimed speaker was not working properly but I challenged this as I used it daily to make calls. Was then offered £52 which I reluctantly accepted. Reason for low offer - poor battery. But why else would you want to upgrade if it wasn’t for the battery? This should have been mentioned in their initial estimate. I would then not have sent the phone to them.

Ok but delivery problems

Got a reasonable price on a couple of phones so decided to go with Trade Your Phone. I received the pack to send the phones in and followed the instructions. Package showed in Royal Mail as successfully delivered but they indicated they never received it. After lots of chasing they took it up with Royal Mail and were compensated for it.

Frustrating lack of communication and lack of proactivity in getting it resolved without being pushed but I did eventually get the amount offered for the phones.

Sent two orders

Sent two orders in – an iPhone 14 Plus and two iPhone SE (2020) devices.

I mixed barcodes up for the devices up and I was offered £45, which I believed was for the iPhone SEs. The communication referenced an iPhone SE, so I accepted the offer — only to later realise this valuation had actually been applied to my iPhone 14 Plus valued at £145.

Issue was identifying as error on both parts and the issue rectified very quickly and efficiently once it was identified.

Was quoted a price £234 for the galaxy…

Was quoted a price £234 for the galaxy s24 in good condition on the mobile phone recycle comoarison website.

When i sent it to them they came back with a list of problems that was not there in addition i was give an adjusted quote which was way lower than the quote offered for the same phone in broken condition

Now i received an email saying that to get my phone back, i need to pay £10 for the delivery charge but they did not tell me how to pay it.
SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!!!!!!!!
