Loads of hassle and wasted time chassing them up!

Order 31710080

Where do I start?
Well after sending them my phone they asked for proof that I actually purchased the phone. Something that isn't mentioned on their website or something they asked my wife to do who sold her phone through them a few months earlier.
After a lot of faffing around contacting my old provider I was able to send them a copy of the receipt and awaited payment which I was told would be 5 working days. After 6 working days I had to contact them asking where my payment was. The reply I got was that my payment would be made no later than midnight that night. After a further two days there was still no payment and I had to contact them again. The response this time was that I would get my payment by the close of business the following day. Again this didn't happen so I had to contact them again for a third time before payment was finally made.

So in short use them if you don't mind being messed around and have plenty of time on your hands to keep chasing them up,

Hello Gary

Thank you for getting in touch.

As explained previously the need for proof of purchase is only something that has needed to be requested fairly recently.

On such high value items we are required to check on all purchases in order to do our bit to help with fraud protection.

We are sure that if you had unfortuntely had such a device stolen you would want us to be very diligent with the phones we were sent. This is in no way a reflection on any of our customers.

We are pleased that your payment is with you.

Thank you

Quick and easy

Quick and easy, free posting and decent price for a broken phone. Kept up to date with progress, very smooth.

Good customer service

Good customer service and I received the full quoted amount for my device. I did have to chase for payment twice but received eventually within two weeks of sending the device. Chasing was not ideal but customer service team really nice and helpful. Would use again.

Order no: 32712581

Sold two phones via We buy any phone and found the service to be well set up. Overall a great service with speed and good communication, and a very fair price offered. However, don’t expect quick payment. While five days are quoted for payment to be received it’s more likely to take much longer. I’m still waiting after eleven days.

delayed payment

Sending the phone back was very simple and received and processed quickly and kept up to date at each stage. However the payment took longer than quoted and required 2 emails to follow up

Excellent Service

I sent my old iPhone 7 to E-Giant to get a trade in price. The service was fast, efficient and very easy. I got a phone call from them to confirm receipt of my phone and ask me if I wanted an additional £5 Amazon voucher for giving them some feedback. The person I spoke to was so friendly and we had a little laugh together. It was altogether an excellent experience. Thanks E-Giant! (Order 31649502.)

Prompt efficient service

Prompt efficient service. Informed of every step.
Just one small thing. I received an email asking me to send the phone and I'd already sent it. Less than 24 hours later received confirmation that they had received it.
Offered same as in original quote.
Would use again
