Amazing customer service plus amazing payout. Win win

This was my first experience of selling a phone online. The amazing customer service that was provided made it an extremely easy process. They do not have a cart like most other websites I visited so I made a quick call to ask about it. Not only did my questions get answered they actually processed all 3 of my transactions for me. If you are looking for the highest payout for old electronics and the best customer service that exists, don't hesitate to use recell.io. You most certainly won't regret it.

Quick and easy

Quick and easy! I upgraded my iphone and Apple didn't want to pay me anything for my old iphone6. Recell.io offered me the most money out of the sites I checked. No hassle trying to sell my phone to a person directly. Got my money within a few days. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get rid of their old phone! :-)

Awesome Experience

I checked several different companies before I sold my iPhone 7 with a cracked screen. Recell.io definitely gave me the highest quote and the process was painless. They stay in touch via email every step of the way and issue a check very quickly (within 3 business days for me). Very pleased that I chose Recell.io!

Straight forward fair value

The entire process was very straight forward. Instructions on their website very easy to follow, just select phone, provider, etc., print out the shipping label and ship the phone. I feel the resale value was very fair and the check was received within a week. I rate recell.io 5 stars and would absolutely refer to others!

Great overall experience

Recell.io was fast, efficient and did everything they said they would within a few days time. In all, the process took under 5 business days once they received my phone. I would highly recommend their services. Also, great customer service experience.

Easy transaction, quick refund

I dropped my old but perfectly functioning iPhone6S in salt water. Unfortunately I could not resuscitate it and therefore started looking for options to recycle it and get some money back. Recell offered the most money as well as totally free shipping. I packaged the phone, printed the return label, posted it and a few days later received my Paypal credit.

I sold my iPhone XR to reCell

I sold my iPhone XR to reCell and couldn’t be happier. They gave me by far the highest quote out there and even when they found out that I stilled owed money on the phone they gave me a slightly reduced quote, still higher than any other vendor. The whole process took about a week and a half. I would definitely use them again

Highly recommend!

I got value for my cracked iPhone 11. The phone screen didn’t work, you couldn’t use the sim card tray anymore, etc. I got 100 dollars for it very quickly. I’m very happy with my experience!

Great experience

Great experience – easy platform to get a very fair price on the phone. Shipping was very simple, the process was very efficient, and money posted to my PayPal very timely. I would definitely use the service and company again.

Great company and price

Very easy transaction and helpful staff. They offered an easy solution for me due to the delays with USPS and the current mail situation. Got a substantially higher price for my cracked IPhone than any other sites. Would recommend using them.

Top dollar and quick!

Selling my old phone to Recell was a very positive experience. I decided to try Recell initially because the quoted price was the highest compared to competitors. I was emailed simple instructions and a mailing label immediatly. I was notified promptly when my phone was received, confirmed that the phone was in the condition that I had claimed, and when my payment was in process. The whole process took only about two weeks. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to sell a cell phone.

These guys were great in every aspect

These guys were great in every aspect. They offer amongst the fairest and best buyback prices for iPhones I encountered out there. Their customer service is domestic (US) and was super courteous, effective, and easy to reach. Even when I had an issue on a Saturday morning when they were closed, I left a voicemail, and they took care of me in less than a half-hour.
