So glad this site exists

"I had to replace a lost phone quickly and inexpensively, and a cursory Google search later came across a pretty good deal on eBay. I've only had two phones as long as smartphones have been around, and I didn't buy either of them, so most of a week later I found out the hard way about iCloud locking. Stuck with an expensive paperweight, I called Apple to see if they could contact the original buyer to unlock it, a process I didn't realize took six business days. Eventually I started to get nervous about the unlock ticket in place, gave up and started searching around for another deal on a phone--But not before reading up about buying used phones on Reddit. A lot of people were talking about Swappa, so I checked it out.

I found a seller within a couple minutes of searching that offered two-day shipping, and the phone was guaranteed to be unlocked and in good condition. I went for it, and I'm glad I did. I got an email from Apple the day after I got the new phone up and running saying they didn't like the documentation the former buyer supplied and that they needed more evidence before they'd unlock the phone. By that time it was already in the mail going back for a refund.

Long story short, thanks for existing, Swappa. I know where I'm getting any future used devices.

Great service and easy to use

"Unlike some services, this is streamlined around one niche area: high quality personal electronics. The pricing is straight forward, the interface is easy to use, and the customer service is great. "

Easy

"Easy and answered all my questions in the FAQ or even before going to the FAQ. This specific seller even shipped way faster than I expected, I could have just got lucky with the seller but it's my only experience with Swappa so 100% good experiences so far."

Came as advertised, easy to switch, on time delivery. Great phone!

"My only complaint would be that it came via usps only because its hot in phoenix and the phone was sitting in a metal mailbox for a solid hour. "

Beyond happy with my "new to me" Band 2

"Great experience looking at all the listings of so many devices, negotiating the price I could afford, and ending up with exactly what I wanted. I couldn't be happier. My only comment was that the seller had requested signature on delivery but didn't let me know about that, so that caused a little hiccup on delivery, but everything ended up fine after I was able to pick it up at the post office."

Excellent Experience

"I've used eBay quite a bit in the past and this experience was overall easier and I had more confidence during the entire transaction. I will definitely be using Swappa more in the future for both buying and selling. "

Horrible Customer Service

"The item I bought was shipped to the wrong address which was only due to their website being very unclear about which address it was going to be sent to. The shipping address you provide will be completely ignored so you might as well leave it blank. They said "the most we can do is recommend you contact the shipping agency to get it fixed." They didn't offer me any type of solution and refuse to give me a refund on this item that I never received. Swappa, nor the seller, are owing up to the issues and responds to my inquiries unapologetically, also blatantly giving false information, overall a very disappointing experience. My first and last time using this website."

my story

"I needed a phone. Kind of worried about ordering used or previously owned returns. Got a great phone at a fair enough price with very little time in phone set up since it was same carrier."

Taking the uncertainty out of buying gently used smart phones

"I have used Swappa to purchase a gently used Android on 2 separate occassions now. Both experiences were great. I had started looking into getting a used cell phone last year after my phone broke and I did not have a contract or upgrade, nor did I want to pay full retail for a new phone. I looked into some of the auction and classified sites, but did not feel comfortable with those options. Swappa has a rigorous screening process, and I felt assured that I would be protected in my purchase from sellers affiliated with them. Communication was prompt, shipping was prompt, the moderators were available if I were to have any issues (I did not). I was able to get beautiful, near mint condition smart phones at a fraction of the retail price and am more than pleased and happy to recommend!"

Swappa deserves 10 stars

"The phone and the transaction were perfect. I so informed the seller. This was the first time I used Swappa. My wife was very leery of buying a used phone on-line. But Swappa seemed to be a good company. Now I can say they were fantastic with all their own due diligence and providing such great advice and tips to a first time user. I rate them 10 stars!

Thanks,

Jack Anderson
