This is totally unacceptable

This is totally unacceptable! I was ' given ' an offer ' of £351 asked to send in the phone, which was an immaculate IPHONE 14 PRO MAX. Then went through the process to be told that there were so much wrong with the phone. Total rubbish appraisal because the phone was in a apple phone cover and a professionally fitted screen cover. They claimed there were many scratches....I have asked them to return my phone. This is an absolute cheat and a horrible way to do business!!!

What a shambles

I sent my phone based on the value, they then sent a reduced offer which was £100 less that the website - I negotiated and agreed - payment was to be made in 7 working days but now 14 days later have not been paid - apparently a back log !

⭐ 0/5 — Shockingly Bad Service and Zero Communication

I sent my phone to RecycleUrPhone on the 14th of November. They received and signed for it the next day, and on the 18th I got an email confirming it was being processed. That was the last piece of communication I ever received from them.

After that? Nothing. No updates, no explanation, no courtesy email, just complete silence.

Then the phone suddenly turned up back at my door with absolutely no warning whatsoever. To make the situation worse, they didn’t even bother with a signed-for delivery. The parcel was left outside, in heavy rain, and the phone is now completely unusable. All because the company couldn’t be bothered to spend a little extra to ensure it arrived safely.

The whole experience has been incredibly frustrating. Their communication is practically non-existent, their customer service is terrible, and the phone number they provide doesn’t even work. Very convenient for them, I’m sure.

For comparison, I’ve used UberLink and MazumaMobile before and both were excellent. RecycleUrPhone doesn’t even come close.

I’d strongly recommend avoiding this company. Spare yourself the hassle and choose one that actually communicates and cares about its customers.

Do not use this company

I sent my phone via recorded delivery which arrived on the 15.11.25 and signed by someone named Faizel. I have heard nothing since. I sent an email yesterday afternoon to obtain an update, where the website states all emails are replied to within 24hrs. Nothing.. I have tried calling the contact number sent in the email 0208 548 8292 and the number doesn't exist. I'm starting to think I've been scammed here.

Update as of 4.12.2025.
I was sent the phone back with no explanation. No phone call, no email, nothing.
I have paid money for postage of which I have not been reimbursed.

Charlatans.

Got there in the end

Although initial communication wasn’t great, we got there in the end. The offer was reduced but was still in line with other companies and payment made.

The whole process is very straightforward, you get prepaid envelope with a tracking number to post your phone and then just wait for an email with the information. Communication is very good with fast replies. Money on the account same day as the payment confirmation email. Recommend their services.

Very straightforward

Very straightforward service and quick turnaround. My tablets were very dated but was still given the highest market value for them which was appreciated. Will definitely use in the future and recommend to others.

Very efficient service.

Very efficient service.
Online quote was better than other companies I looked at and they also sent out a prepaid envelope to use so no hidden postage costs.
Would definitely use again.

Excellent communication and great price

The trade pack did not arrive the first one round, but they promptly sent out another one after I made contact. They still honour the sale price despite the phone is sent in beyond the 14 day period. Overall a pleasure to deal with. Thank you. Order 10685

This is the 2nd phone I have recycled…

This is the 2nd phone I have recycled through recycleURPhone. Again a perfect and helpful personal service which is not restristricted to a totally automated system. The money was paid as quoted within a few hours of the company receiving the phone in their prepaid postage bag.

Super quick

Fast and free postage. Although they reduced the price they paid me for the iPad after receiving it, it was still the highest price offered on the market. Really pleased to be recycling it.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY sent my phone…

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY sent my phone in pristine condition no faults what so ever they had offered 295 then when they received it was saying it was flickering etc it definitely wasn't its a scam to knock the price down I did finally end up with 265 after several emails,just shows not to go with the highest offer from competitors because you won't get what they tell you 😉

Fair price, quick and easy process

Fair price offered. Good communication throughout. Special delivery bag to forward phone unfortunately did not arrive within the 14 day reply period, however after an email, RecycleUrPhone.co.uk took Christmas/New Year period into account and honoured their original offer, which was better than any other company.
