Big quote little payout

"I sent my phone in under the impression I was getting paid a decent amount. Upon review they claimed my phone battery life was not full 80% which means they can slash the payout by a third. That’s a huge disappointment for something that could have been plugged in for 20 minutes to remedy that problem. Quite disappointing "

A rep from Thewhizcells.com, TheWhizCells, has responded:

“Hi Rachael,

I hope you are doing well today. There seems to be some confusion about the battery. The issue is not how much the battery was charged. The issue is how much charge it can hold. We have tools to test the battery and they actually have chips inside that show exactly how many times it has changed over its entire life. Anyhow, the capacity of the battery had degraded to the point that it needs to be replaced. The phone will show on the screen say 100%, but that is 100% of the chargeable capacity. The full capacity had degraded to less than 80% of what it was new. Once a battery degrades below 85% capacity it will quickly get worse. Say it takes 3 years to go from 100% (new) to 85% capacity. It may take 6 months to go from 85% to 75%. If you have any questions please let us know. In no way are we trying to take advantage of anyone.”

Fast and Trustworthy

"I asked for a package and they sent a bubbled envelope. I placed the phone with some cardboard and WhizCells paid my wife’s PayPal the same day even with US Postal taking 5 days to deliver. When I inquired on a Saturday, someone responded instantly on the weekend stating that it is due Monday via mail service. I would give my highest recommendation and wished I found this place earlier. I have so many iPhones and iPads laying around! "

Shady

"I sent 2 phones, a literally, brand new Iphone XR, that was purchased by my former employer. They informed me there was a balance on the phone and deducted the amount from the purchase price. I confirmed with my former employer the phone was indeed bought outright with no outstanding balance. The second phone was an older Galaxy phone that I am positive I master reset and they stated there was a google account on it and they needed the password. I asked for information on what google account was on the phone and had no response from the wiz. They deducted $35 for the "lock" on the phone. I attempted to email and call and did not get any response. I feel like they "offer" one price then come up with reasons to lower the offer. "

“We contacted the seller and sent them the report from AT&T that the phone has unpaid bills. The S9 was reset and that is what tripped the Google security lock. We sent them a picture of the phone and we have offered to pay them more if the lock is removed. So far we have not heard back from the seller. ”

Not Broken When Sent In

"I sent in a working, mint condition, iphone that was re-analyzed as "broken" with an offer of $10.00. The phone I sent in was cleaned, set to default conditions (erased) and tested prior to sending it in, yet was returned with the button no longer functional. It was very well wrapped to protect it during shipping so I'm not sure how it could have been "broken" upon receipt. Since I have never dealt with this company, I'm not sure of the integrity of their processes. "

“Hi Guadalupe, Unfortunately, the phone never would charge or turn on. That is why you received an offer for the broken price. You declined, which we respect and sent your device back the same day it was received. The feedback all over the internet speaks to our integrity. We certainly wished your phone had worked as we would have liked to have purchased it. I am very sorry it did not. We wish you all the best.”
