Bunk condition rating

"The offer as good, but when I submitted the phone you claimed there was some defect with the phone and tried to lowball me with a lower offer. And not just a matter of me thinking it's in one condition and you guys thinking "well maybe one notch lower" -- the phone is in objectively perfect condition and your re-trade was to the lowest possible condition. Wasted my time trying to play games."

“Hi Rick,

The issue is the phone has a burned in image of the home buttons. You can see this when you turn on the phone when it boots up. I'm very sorry that you were upset. We did ship the phone back to you asap. Tracking Number: 9400110200882721097346”

Not all it's crack up to be

"Was given a quote over $200 for three phones, when they received the phones I was only offered under $100 for all three. Probably won't use this company again. "

“Hi Wes,

I am very sorry that you are disappointed in the service. We try to be fair but one of those phones had a cracked camera lens cover and the flash for the camera did not work on another. The 3rd phone we did pay in full as it had no issue. Again I am sorry that you were unhappy. We would have sent the phones back to you if you had declined the offer. Thank you for your time and have a great day!”

Best place to sell an old phone.

"This was my second time dealing with TheWhizCells and both times have been awesome experiences. They pay much more than those sell your phone kiosks in stores and even more than other sites I got quotes from. They also paid me the same day that my tracking number showed that the phone had been delivered. Great company!"

Terrible

"If you don't have a phone that's a flagship then dont bother with them. Like I'm not giving you a $400-$1,000 phone for less than half."

“Hi James, You placed an order to sell an LG V20 but sent a LG K20 with cracked glass screen. We do not purchase the K20, especially with a cracked screen and sent it back to you at our expense.”

Tried to claim my phones were from a cheaper network once they had them

"I sent in two Verizon wireless iPhones that I bought new at a Verizon store. After I accepted the offer and sent them in I got an email saying that they were paying a lot less because their computer said they were T-Mobile phones. I emailed back very agitated and it got resolved but I suspect they have done that to other customers before so I would be careful about any discrepancy in what they offer versus what they pay in the end. Once I offered to send copies of my installment agreement with Verizon for the two identical phones things got fixed. "

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

“Hi Richard,

We use a computerized system to check out phones. The system printed out the phones as being T-Mobile. It is pretty rare for it to be incorrect but it was for your phones. I apologize about this. We were not trying to disingenuous, it was an error and we admit that as well as paid your order in full. Over the years I have learned that if a business and especially an online business makes an error it is out of deception is unfortunate. Again I apologize that we made an error. ”
