“Absolute Jokers
Essentially there business model is :- Quote High>>>>>> Test model and pick up any minor mark and kick it in the nuts>>>>>>New Valuation and get you all excited that we will pay you your reduced fee that day.
Knowing most people cannot be arsed to have phone sent back.
Essentially rob your phone for a silly price.
Do not use as they will find annnnnnnny excuse not to pay you the full amount. Avoid like the plague. I just hope I’ve saved other people from the experience we have had. Rob dogs.”
“Absolute crooks.
I was offered £152 for my phone in ‘good’ condition, which it was, sent it in and they came back with a counter offer of £25. When I asked for my then back they said it would cost &10 to send it back… but would I settle for £35?
I’m sure they will comment on this about their rigorous testing process or ‘honesty policy’ or some other such nonsense below this… but the truth of the matter is, they never had any intention of paying what they said they would - and in fact their whole business model is built on this bait and switch approach.”
“I quite agree with the last review.
SCAMMERS gave me a price of £150, I sent the iPhone to them and they revised their offer to 50% of their original offer.
I insisted they return my device”
“Scam! Offered £91 for iPhone XR in perfect condition then dropped the offer to £40 when they received it. Sent a dodgy video of a phone that wasn’t even mine saying it was damaged. Upped the offer by £10 but I had them return the phone to me. Avoid!!! Scammers !”
“DO NOT GIVE BANK DETAILS :Complete scam was looking to sell my phone so got a quote there was an option to opt in for a free trial of McAfee anti-virus but omitted. Got an email a couple of days later thanks for accepting the trial and setup a direct debt”
“ABSOLUTE SCAM
They offer far more than what they eventually end up giving. i was offered £270 for my iPhone 11, i sent it off and they go on about how it doesn't reach their standard and counter off me £55. i obviously decline and they make me pay £10.75 PP.
AVIOD AT ALL COSTS”
“Avoid At all costs!
They have used another phone and sent a video saying it is mine. I have photograph and video evidence of original which proves the have used another.”
“Absolute scam! Was offered nearly £400 for my iphone 13 pro max which is in excellent condition. Theyve sent me a video of a phone which is not mine with scratches all over it and a chipped camera. Now offering me £145?! Wish I read reviews as I now have to pay for them to return my phone, hoping they actually return my one and not the faulty one theyve sent videos of. Avoid at all costs!!!”
“biggest scam ever, I'm sure my phone did not have the scratches on the case as the video they sent advised me, they must keep a scratched up phone especially for this purpose, it was an iphone I had not had long and I always had it in a case”
“AVOID this awful company they offered £328 for my phone then said it didn’t match their grading which it did and provided a video where they had made the phone look really dirty and offered £180 i declined so they then want £10.75 to return the phone they are crooks and best avoided”
“Absolute scam. Offered £222. Sent the phone and they said the front is covered in scratches. It’s had a glass cover on since purchase. They then offered £55. I now have to pay £10.75 to get it back
Would give a 0 review but can’t.
Do NOT use this company !”
“Don't trust this company online they offer you good price but when they receive the phone they take out the price but they will offer you 80% deduction of original amount don't use them sell on ebay”
“Was offered a price from a price by this company for my iPhone 11 Pro Max which is, in my opinion, in great condition with 97% battery health, had a case on entire life and some minor screen scratches that does not effect the phone at all.
This company received my phone and said that there was significant wear on the device, reducing my quote from £230 to just £35 for a phone I know is in great condition. An insulting and quite frankly stupid price given the market value.
There’s no easy way to decline the offer, only to accept it via a portal. You have to get in contact with the company to decline at which point they will offer you slightly more, for me it was £10 extra.
To add insult to injury they then charged me £11 to send my phone back to me, despite price compassion sites they partner with stating you can “request” your phone to be sent back free of charge. You can request, but they won’t oblige.
It was the festive period so I accept the delay in replies which took a couple of days to my emails but quite frankly I will NEVER use this company again and have had far better experiences with other trade in companies.
I would recommend avoiding and going to a more honest and honourable company.”
“I recently upgraded my phone and sought to sell my old one. I normally use mazuma as they have always been good but webuyanyphone offered about £45 more for trade in so I stupidly went with them. Mazuma have NEVER knocked me down on 4 trade ins. This company received my phone which was in PERFECT condition as always in full body case. They stated there were three marks on it which is a lie and knocked over £100 off the trade in price quoted. I have the original box and the wires were still in their original sleeve. I kept the original screen stickers and put them back on. I’m a geek I know but you could have nearly sold this as a new phone. To have £100 knocked off the price as well as taking a week to sort and me having to chase them, they finally gave me a knocked
Down pay out. I wish I stuck with my normal trade In company. AVOID this company.”
“Scam …. Sent an immaculate iPhone 12 - hardly used as it was an extra - was sent to them in box - brand new charger cable - they reduced their offer by two thirds and when I declined their offer and paid to have it returned they had purposely damaged it by scratching it all over and denting the corners - I will be contacting trading standards …. Avoid these people at all costs”
“Very disappointed with the offer which was very much reduced for a phone which had been looked after. Slick process, but feel totally shafted by this company.”
“AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Reduced the offer of my phone by half and claimed screen was ‘considerably marked’ which is a lie as it was in perfect condition. Even if it was damaged it would not cost as much as they reduced it by to replace a screen. And then have to pay £11 to have the phone returned to me. From the reviews this is what they do to most people. Robbing from them. Will be contacting Trading standards”
“DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
They claim that they pay the "Highest Price Guaranteed" when infact that is simply a lie.
They offer a smaller price than others due to where they "recycle the phones". What's more they will send you email after email adding £5 for downloading anti-virus, £5 if you don't agree to sell immediately.
They take advantage of people and attempt to squeeze as much out of you as they can when other companies actually treat you fairly.
(Monzo is very good).
Finally when you ask for your device back they charge you £10 for the postage and again try to make you sell it to them by offering you a £10 gift card instead.
AVOID THEM! You get FAR MORE for your phone from their competitors.”
