Do NOT recycle with giffgaff
Sent two Samsung S9 devices to be recycled and was quoted £205 each. Sent them off over 2 weeks ago, had to message 7 times to find out what was happening, you definitely don't get next day payment. They reduced the price of one of the phones saying that it had 'screen burn' and offered a revised offer of £35.75.
This is a total scam, there is nothing wrong with the phone and I've had it independently examined.
They kept the other phone even though I demanded they return both.
I threatened legal action unless they returned it and they come back with 'the phone has been lost' and we will pay £205 within 48 hours.
No GIFFGAFF.... Your scamming people.
Avoid at all costs!
See the below conversation as evidence, make up your own mind.

Hi, I've not received any text message confirmation regarding the delivery. I've received one handset back, could you tell me when the 2nd one will be returned and provide me with a tracking ref?
Thanks

This still doesn't answer my question. Can you please read it fully before responding with a standard fob off response.

Can you tell me if both have been sent back to me as I haven't received any payments. Also, why was one reduced so much? You have not answered my question.
Thank you

Hi, I have just reviewed the offer and I am disgusted in the offer. Both mobiles were in identical condition. You haven't said why you have reduced the offer. Please return BOTH phones unless your going to honour the quoted price.
