How it works

Three steps, no surprises: a price that’s locked for 14 days, free insured shipping, and money in your account the same day your device passes inspection.

The short version

Sell your device in three steps

You could finish step one before your coffee cools. We handle the rest.

1

Get your instant offer

Answer a few questions about your device and see your price in about 60 seconds. No account, no email wall, no haggling. Your offer is locked for 14 days from checkout — plenty of time to decide.

Ship free & insured

We email you a prepaid insured label at checkout — or a QR code if you don’t own a printer. On our label, transit risk is ours: if a properly packed shipment is lost or damaged, we still pay your locked offer.

Label or QR · we carry the risk

Get paid fast

We inspect within 2 business days of delivery and pay the same day your device passes. PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle land same day. Every payment method costs you $0 in fees.

Day by day

After you ship — the honest timeline

Most buyback sites go quiet once your box leaves your hands. Here’s exactly what happens to yours.

The carrier scans your package

That first acceptance scan is what matters. As long as it happens within 14 days of checkout, your price stays locked — even if the truck takes its time getting to us.

It arrives in Vancouver, WA

The moment the carrier confirms delivery, your inspection clock starts. First, every serial and IMEI is history-verified against national loss-and-theft databases. Then the device is wiped with certified erasure software — before inspection, before anything else touches your data. Your data is destroyed, never accessed.

Inspection: within 2 business days

Our team checks your device against the description you gave. Two business days is our standard; five is our hard maximum. There’s no paid "expedite" option because fast is already the default.

If it matches: you’re paid the same day

Device passes, payment goes out that day. Same-day for PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle; 1–3 business days for bank transfer; 5–7 for a mailed check. Always $0 in fees.

If it doesn’t match: a revised offer, with photos

Sometimes a "good" screen turns out to have a crack. If your device’s condition differs from your description, we send a revised offer with photos and a plain explanation of exactly what we found — not a mystery number.

Your 7-day window

You have 7 calendar days to accept or decline the revised offer. Decline it, and we ship your device back free within 2 business days, with tracking.

Silence never costs you your device. If you don’t respond within the 7 days, we don’t "auto-accept" the lower price like some sites do. We automatically ship your device back to you, free, with tracking. Forced acceptance is not a thing here.
Before you seal the box

Get your device ready

Five minutes of prep keeps your data safe and your payout on schedule. Your confirmation email includes this checklist too.

Back up your stuff

Photos, contacts, messages — sync to iCloud, Google, or your computer before anything else. Once it ships, there’s no going back for that one photo.

Sign out of Find My / Google

Turn off Find My iPhone or remove your Google account. An activation lock left on is the number-one cause of revised offers — and it takes 30 seconds to avoid.

Factory reset

Erase all content and settings. Belt and suspenders: we still run certified erasure software on every single device that arrives, no matter what.

Remove SIM & memory cards

Pop out your SIM and any microSD card and keep them. They’re yours, they’re easy to forget, and we can’t pay for them.

Skip the accessories

Keep the charger, cable, and case. They don’t add a cent to your offer, and if you decline a revised offer they can’t be returned with the device.

Pack it snug

A small box and some padding is all it takes. Selling something worth over $150? Ask us for a free padded mailer at checkout and we’ll send one.

Your money, your way

Pick how you get paid

Every method pays the full offer. We never skim a processing fee — the number you see is the number you get.

Payment is sent the same day your device passes inspection — the speeds above are how long each method takes to reach you after that. Full details on our Shipping & Payment Policy page.

Quick answers

The three questions everyone asks

The full list lives on our FAQ page — these are the big three.

What if my package gets lost or damaged in the mail?
If you ship on our prepaid insured label, that’s our problem — not yours. We pay your locked offer for properly packed shipments that are lost or damaged in transit, matched to the serial or IMEI recorded at checkout (standard fraud checks apply). If you choose to use your own label instead, the shipment travels at your risk — so use ours.
What if I disagree with a revised offer?
Decline it. We’ll ship your device back free within 2 business days, with tracking, and you owe us nothing. You get 7 calendar days to decide, and every revised offer comes with photos and a plain explanation of what we found. If you don’t respond at all, we return the device automatically — silence never means acceptance.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Get your quote, check out, ship, get paid — no account, no password, no login. We email you everything you need: your label or QR code, the prep checklist, and updates at every stage from delivery through payment.
