Customers do have a window of 28 days, starting from the date the device is tested, to resolve any lost or stolen flags before the recycling process begins. However, our commitment to ethical business practices means that we will not engage with or accept devices that have been reported as stolen.

  3. Bubble Wrap: To protect your device from potential damage during transit, wrap it in bubble wrap. This extra layer of padding can help safeguard your device from shocks and impacts.

  3. Order Processing and Payment:
    • If your device arrives from Monday to Friday before 2 pm, it is typically processed and paid on the same day.
    • Devices received during the weekend, on a bank holiday, or after 2 pm are usually processed on the following working day.

If your Royal Mail tracking shows that the package has been delivered, but you haven't received a confirmation email from us after more than 24 hours, or if you have already posted your device, and the Royal Mail tracking status does not show it as delivered for more than 7 days, we recommend contacting our customer service team for assistance. They can help investigate and provide you with an update on the status of your order.

If you've sent your device(s) and your order appears to be expiring, there is typically no need to worry. As long as you post your device within the specified timeframe outlined in our terms and conditions, we will not penalize you for any potential delays in transit.

We understand that shipping times and order processing may vary, Your order will be processed based on when it was shipped, and you should receive the appropriate communication and payment once your shipment is received and assessed.

Each label and QR code provided to you is intended for a one-time use on one parcel only. If your order requires multiple packages, please create a new order for each additional parcel.

It's important to generate a separate label for each parcel you send because each box should have its individual tracking reference for insurance purposes. This ensures that each package is properly tracked, and the insurance coverage is accurately applied to each shipment.

It's important to note that you cannot pack multiple orders into one box. To avoid any confusion or delays in our processing facility, please keep each order separate.

There are several reasons for this:

  1. Tracking and Insurance: If there are any issues with your parcel reaching us, we'll need the tracking information for each individual order to file claims with the courier. When multiple orders are packed together, not all of your items may be insured in transit, and we cannot guarantee that all of them will be processed and paid for.
  2. Order Accuracy: Keeping orders separate helps ensure that each order is accurately processed and paid for according to the details provided for that specific order.

To maintain clarity and ensure the smooth processing of your orders, it's best to pack each order into its own separate box or parcel. This way, you can be confident that each order is handled correctly and insured during transit.

If you suspect that your order has been lost in transit, here's what you should do:

  1. Delivery Timeframes: Sometimes, orders may take longer than the expected delivery time frames to physically reach us, especially during busy periods. As soon as we start processing your order, we will notify you by email. Please keep an eye on your emails for updates regarding your order's status.
  2. Insurance Coverage: If you chose one of our prepaid courier methods, such as Royal Mail contained within your order confirmation email, your order is insured up to the value of £150 while it's on its way to us.
  3. Royal Mail Special Delivery: If you opted to send your order using Royal Mail Special Delivery at your own cost, you will be responsible for filing a claim with Royal Mail directly.
  4. Waiting Period: We ask that you wait a total of 7 working days for the order to arrive with us before becoming eligible to file a claim against the courier you used. This waiting period allows us to account for potential delays that the courier may experience during delivery.
  5. Claim Process: If, after the 7-day waiting period, you haven't received an update confirming that your order has been delivered to us, we will be able to register a claim.
  6. Contact Us: If you sent your order with Royal Mail and need to make a claim, please contact us within 28 days of sending your order. Provide us with the tracking number(s) related to the lost parcel(s), as well as any IMEI numbers and proof of purchase for tech items. This information is essential for forwarding the claim to Royal Mail for investigation.
  7. Claim Processing: Once we receive all the required information for the claim, our Claims Department will process it. After a successful investigation, we will update you via email and issue your payment. If additional information is needed, we will reach out to you.

Please note that if you contact us after the claim time frames outlined above, we may be unable to make a claim with the courier, which could result in the inability to complete your order. Therefore, it's essential to initiate the claim process within the specified time frames to ensure a timely resolution.

We provide two payment methods for your convenience:

  1. Bank Transfer: This method allows for immediate transfer of funds directly to your bank account. There are no additional fees associated with this payment option.
  2. PayPal: With PayPal, you can receive your payment immediately into your PayPal account. Like the bank transfer option, there are no additional fees.

You can choose the payment method that best suits your preferences and needs when completing your transaction with us.

After confirming your order, it is not possible to change your payment method. Therefore, it's essential to double-check and ensure that all your payment details are accurate and correct before finalizing and confirming your order.

If you have not yet posted your item to us and you realize that your payment details are incorrect, you can simply ignore the current order and create a new order with the correct payment details.

Please be aware that if the payment details provided are incorrect, and a payment is successfully processed, we will not be held responsible. To avoid any issues, carefully review your payment information before confirming your order to ensure it is accurate and up-to-date.

Once we receive and check your phones, we promise to pay you on the same day.

You'll get an email confirmation when the payment is sent.

This usually happens on weekdays, except for public holidays, and it doesn't apply to orders received after 2 pm or during unexpected events.

If we can't honor your original quote because your device doesn't match the condition you selected, here's what happens:

  1. Quality Checks: We'll assess your device upon arrival to make sure it matches the condition you indicated in your order.
  2. Revised Offer: If it doesn't match, we'll email you a new offer with clear reasons for the price change. You have 14 days to decide.

Please note that we cannot guarantee the return of any additional items you may have sent in with your order, such as chargers, SIM, memory cards, headphones, extra controllers, the original box, instruction manuals, screen protectors, cases, etc.

If you've accidentally accepted our revised offer, we won't be able to reverse this decision. Payment will be processed for the revised price to your chosen payment method, and the device will not be returned.

It's important to carefully review and consider any revised offers before accepting them to ensure they align with your expectations.

Including your device's original box and accessories is appreciated, but we're unable to offer any additional value for them. However, we are more than happy to accept them along with your device. While they won't increase your overall payout, they can still be beneficial for others who purchase the device in the future.

Your offer is valid for 14 days from the date it was generated.

To ensure that your offer remains locked in, you must ship your device within this 14-day period. As long as your tracking information confirms that your package was shipped within this time frame, your original quote will be maintained. In essence, the time your package spends in transit will not impact the price lock as long as it was shipped within the initial 14-day period.
