Just OK

"I sent in my Samsung Note 2 and Galaxy 4.
I listed them as GOOD - no issue with either screens and after there inspections told that there is a burn in offer is now $10 less than original offer.Did not want to take a chance on them shipping me a switched device so no headache we took the offer.
We are very meticulous with the care of our devices and We know what we sent was good with no screen issue.
Seller beware

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

“Hi Enrique,

We would have been happy to have sent you pictures of the burned in image. Screen burn is very common in Samsung phones and especially older models like the Note 2 and S4. It is nothing you would have done to the phone. The refresh rate is not high enough to keep the home screen image from burning into the background of the LCD. Unfortunately it does affect the value of the phone. We do not swap phones and I know you did not mean it to be personal but that would be offensive if we did. It is simply not a business practice that we would do. And honestly, it is not one that we even could do with the way our operation works. If you ever want a phone back, you will get back what you sent. Thank you for giving us a chance and I am sincerely sorry you were not happy. Perhaps we will be able to help again in the future and it will be smooth. Have a blessed day.”

So quick and easy

"Second time using Thewhizcells.com. The process is easy, quick and convenient. For the convenience, they provide a good value for not having to deal with trying to sell the phone on my own, which I know would probably net more money. Using this process is just so much easier and totally worth it."

They are scammers

"I quoted a cell phone buy back through thewhizcells.com, they offered me $65. I sent them a working, used cell phone. I had recently upgraded and was pleasantly surprised that my old phone was worth something to someone. After they received it they graded it as broken and revised their offer to $5. I declined their offer since I had been using the phone up until the day before I sent it to them. Upon receiving my phone back I found that it would no longer power on or charge. When I contacted them about it they said that it was not their fault and said that all they do to test them is power them on. In their report they stated that it had randomly shut down after boot up. Obviously it was in better condition when they got it then when I got it back if it would boot at all. Unless all you want is $5 for your phone, don't send it to these guys."

iPhone Sale As Expected

"Sold an iPhone 6+ with cracked glass. Sale was executed flawlessly and quickly. Description of phone condition could have been more precise up front, as the Whiz found additional damage than was reported when I tried to sell directly to my carrier, ATT. Net was that the Whiz paid only $10 more than ATT offered. Still, the execution was flawless and I received my check on time. All communication and timelines for the return of the phone went without a hitch. I'd use them again."
