Fair Pricing

"Gazelle will give you a price for your device but when they receive the device if it is in really good condition (ours looked brand new) they will actually up the price and give you more! They send out your check quick too."

I was a repeat customer, now disappointed former customer

" I purchased 5 phones from Gazelle since Nov. 2015. I was a huge fan and a completely satisfied customer. I always recommended them to anyone considering a phone. Up until the 5th phone, every one had been in better condition than I expected as I usually ordered the fair or good condition. The last phone had a scratch on the screen but it was no big deal.
This past October 12, I ordered a phone for my Mom. I had the order confirmation and it said that I would be notified once the order shipped. The FAQ section of their website states that most orders ship within 24 hours. All my previous orders were processed quickly. A week after ordering I still had no update. I sent an email through their website requesting a status, no response. About 10 days after ordering, my mother called them. The customer service person said that the original phone had been checked and found defective. They were out of that color and so my mom ordered whatever color they had. The rep said the order would be expedited.
A week later the status still had not changed. I sent another email and had no response!
Finally on Nov. 5 we cancelled the order out of frustration and received a 10% goodwill discount towards a future order.
I was pretty frustrated but decided that it must have been a fluke and decided to try again. I wanted two Iphone 8's for my wife and son. On Nov. 27 I made the order while there was 20% off and added the 10% discount. I waited until Dec. 5, when I had to cancel one of the iphones ordered due to my wife's phone dying and needing immediate replacement. I called that day and was told the order hadn't shipped because it was backordered. I spoke to two reps but apparently the first rep was supposed to give me an incident/work order number for the second rep to work from. She figured it out quickly enough but it ended up I would have to cancel the whole order and wait until another phone became available. I cancelled the order and she refunded the 10% discount, she said they would honor the 20% too but I never received that confirmation. It didn't matter because at this point I was done as a customer. I felt like an idiot for trying the second purchase, shame on me. The first rep said that orders that havent shipped in a few days get flagged to see what the problem is. I don't know why the customer wouldn't be updated. After all this, I had the impression that they maybe use a third party for customer service. There seemed to be a disconnect from what is actually going on there. The most frustrating thing was never receiving any update as to a problem i.e. the phone failed, your order is backlogged.... something! Equally frustrating was to send emails through the customer service prompts on the website and never get any acknowledgment...ever.
I tried to spend about 1500$ in three months with Gazelle and I couldn't. I now need to replace my daughters phone soon too. Bye Gazelle, it was great while it lasted.

Super easy

"Traded a MacBook Pro that was in very good condition, but had a bit of a delamination issue with the screen. Gazelle's trade-in price was $130 less than Apple's gift card buyback program. But, when I sent it in to Apple's recycler, they dropped the price to half of what Gazelle offered. I rejected the Apple offer and sent to Gazelle, which stuck by its original price. "

Sell it to Gazelle!

"Sold my phone to Gazell when I thought I couldn’t get anything for it. My phone was smashed and not working. Apple told me they would recycle it for free. Gazelle paid me more then I imagined I would get for it and they supplied box and shipping also. "

Great Expectations

"This was the second time I’ve traded in an Apple product, this time when describing my computer’s condition I marked excellent. When they received an inspected the computer they felt that they undervalued it and sent more money to my account immediately. Who does that, They Do."

Wrong phone

"I order from Gazelle over a year ago I order a 7plus 128gb Black I ended up receiving 7plus silver 32gb. I call gazelle after 30 min on the phone someone finally answer and tried offering me 25 off and to keep the phone ummm noo I return the phone. Now i said let me try once more to give them a try I ordered my daughter a iPhone 8 Plus gold for Xmas Without me cussing I received a iphone 4 or 5 it’s so old I don’t even know what it is and to add insult to injury they sent me charger that don’t even work with that iPhone. I’m beyond livid I just spend 539 on a phone that not even on the market and the worst thing is there not open right now to call them. My blood is boiling right now.."
