The best price I was offered and no drama. There's so many companies out there that offer a fair price only to knock a lump off when you send the phone for supposed damage. Bozowi stuck to their price... See more

Top prices from a top company

I'd never heard of Bozowi until I was doing a price comparison for my iPhone 4. I was a little nervous to sell to them but they offered a fantastic price and the reviews were good. Their service was really speedy and I liked the fact I didn't have to leave my house to send it to them with their free courier service. I'm really impressed and shall be using Bozowi again!

Excellent

I had a item, that wasn't listed so i contacted bozowi to ask them if they would be interested.

I had an email back straight away with an offer, i posted it wednesday, and the money was paid into my account on the monday.

Brendan was so helpful, his customer service is excellent!

I will definitely use bozowi in the future, a 5 star from me!

Above and Beyond with a Personal Touch

Sent my 2nd phone into Bozowi, this was my daughters phone.
This had a minor fault on it of which i was not aware of, and Bozowi got in contact with me regarding this, and i must say that the whole process was pleasant and polite, and Brendan really does bend over backwards to assist and help in every way.
I will be telling all of my friends and family how easy it is to sell to Bozowi, and how Customer friendly they are.
Any email sent was answered straight away and not with the usual stock reply that other recycling companies use, i got a personal reply with the answer to the question i asked.

I am very happy and will not use any other company in future.

Hi Mandy,

Thanks for your review, it's greatly appreciated. We just wanted to let you know that your phone wasn't just tracked from door to door, it was also tracked throughout our building. This lets our customers know exactly where their handset is, down to the very department it's in. Just for a little more peace of mind, we also internally track exactly which engineer is working on the handset, so we even know which desk it was on and when!

We're not just all about speed, we also like to provide a quality experience to our customers.

Hope to see you when your next upgrade comes around, Mandy!

Regards,
Greg

Hi Rachel,

Thanks for your comments, we always appreciate the feedback. We have worked hard to be in a position to offer the speed and quality that we provide our customers, so it's always fantastic when customers pick up on it. There is currently only one other recycler in the industry that offers genuine same day payments, so we really do take pride of that fact.

We look forward to hearing from you when the time comes for your next upgrade!

Regards,
Greg

Bozowi the dogs danglies!!

When I received the offer I was a bit unsure as it was the same as my phone was selling for on the well known auction site that starts with an e! When I carried on reading an saw free collection by UPS from my door I thought I'd give it a go. Picked up Friday and money in bank Monday at price offered. I'm that stunned I've written this review which believe me I dont normally do. A1 too class service. Will definitely recommend and return next time I have a phone to sell.

Dear Nick

Thank you for your review. We are seeing an increase in consumers who are recycling with us as opposed to selling on auction sites the advantages are numerous when selling to us compared to selling on an auction site.

The auction sites are constantly changing the way they work, they provide the ultimate protection for the buyer but this results in protection being reduced for the seller. No matter what the issue even if the seller is clearly in the right the auction sites will always side with the customer. For example one has only to look at the feedback on these auction sites to get an idea of the problems sellers are facing.

Price is also a consideration, a consumer pays to list their items, pays a commission when they are sold and they pay’s to receive the money. The final price that the consumer receives is not far from or quite often less than what they would receive from Bozowi. Then they always have the worry that the money they received could be taken back by the auction site in the coming months if the buyer from the auction site decides to take advantage.

Until the auction sites start to vet their buyers they will always be a risky place for consumers to sell their items.

Bozowi is a hassle free option for sellers of mobile phones and all other sort of electronics, we take all the hard work away from the seller along with providing competitive prices and outstanding customer service.

Hi Mark

You have no idea how good it is to hear that on a Friday evening, it really does make the whole week worth it. We're really pleased that our partnership with UPS is going down a well with all our customers and this once again reinforces our decision to offer the service as a freebie.

Thanks for your feedback!

Fantastic Company

Bozowi offered the best price on my iphone 5c, £50 more than Mazuma offered. UPS came to collect the phone from my house on the Thursday, parcel arrived at Bozowi at close of business on the Friday, payment received on the Monday, fantastic.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your comments. We're pleased that the service was too your liking and even more so that you were impressed with the speed and value that we offer. Because of our respective positions with the market and the business models that come with those positions, you'll almost always find that we offer more than the bigger recyclers such as Mazuma and Envirofone. Just worth keeping in mind if you ever need to recycle a device again!

Thanks again for your feedback, and your custom.

Regards,
Greg

Hi Kelly

Thank you for your review, I notice your were paid by cheque. Did you know that we offer what we call a true same day payment service? Where we send the payment by bank transfer and the payment is in the customer account ready for them to spend.

Many other recyclers claim to make same day payments, what actually do is send the payment the same day the test the device, but it does not reach the customers account until 3 days later.

Good Company

They do what they say. Can't really put it any other way. They also keep you well updated with whats going on. I'd use this company again in the future or happily recommend it to anyone whose selling a phone now. Prices are competitive, I hope they keep this up in the future.

Hi David,

It goes without saying that we pride ourselves on our levels of service, so I’m really pleased to hear that you were happy with how we handled your order. We feel (and I’m sure you’ll agree) that our same day bank transfers are definitely one of our biggest selling points. Unlike our competitors, we make the funds available to spend on the same day.

It was an absolute pleasure doing business with you.

Hi Barbara,

I’m glad to hear everything went smoothly for you and I’m especially pleased that you liked our new free courier collection service. It’s no exaggeration to say that we routinely sit around discussing ways that we can make our customers lives easier, so seeing direct (and positive) comments on something that we have worked so hard on is always great – it tells us that we’re on the right track!

I hope you’ll keep us in mind next time you have a phone to recycle or you’re having a clear-out!

Regards,
Greg
