Unfortunately, if this step isn’t actioned our team will not be able to test your device. We will let you know if we need your help accessing the device, but please be mindful this process will slow down the payment process.

Packing & Shipping

How do I send my device?

 Whilst trading in your device, the final confirmation step generates a free Royal Mail postage label. Simply print this off and attach it to your package. You can either ship your device from your local post office or take advantage of our free and convenient door-step collection. Once dispatched, we should receive your device within 48-72 hours.

How should I package my device?

After removing your sim card and resetting your device, package your device ensuring it is secure and protected with all edges of the parcel tightly sealed. We would advise using a suitably sized box and bubble wrap to make sure it gets to us safely rather than a padded envelope!

Do I have to pay for postage?

Postage is completely free! Your free Royal Mail postage label will be generated at the confirmation stage of your order.

Do you need my devices accessories?

We don’t require or ask for any accessories such as chargers, cases or headphones with your device. However, if you choose to send them we are happy to responsibly recycle them for you free of charge.

What about my SIM card?

Please remove your SIM card prior to dispatching your device. Should you send your SIM card with your device we can either dispose of it or send it back*.

*An admin fee will apply for us to return it.
