Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 348 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently highlight the exceptionally fast payment process, noting that money is often transferred directly into bank accounts within twenty-four hours of device arrival. People also truly appreciate receiving the exact amount originally quoted online without any unexpected deductions, making the overall recycling experience remarkably smooth and straightforward. Some reviewers were not happy with revised valuations, mentioning that initial online quotes were reduced after the company physically inspected their devices. A few consumers felt pressured to accept these lower offers because returning the items could feel frustratingly complicated or potentially costly.

Absolutely amazing!!

Absolutely amazing!!
We Buy Tek was recommended to me by my daughter after I had a dreadful experience with another company offering way less than quoted price & trying to haggle. My daughter had such a smooth seamless process with We Buy Tek & I have received the same service. My iPhone arrived with them Friday & the price quoted on screen was the price paid which was automatically paid into my account the very same day! No haggling, no hassle just straight forward process.
I was recommended & now I have recommended to family too. Not worth shopping around or selling privately, sell to these guys who keep the process simple & are true to their word.
Thank you 😊

Use alternative trade-in sites instead

I used WeBuyTek to trade in a broken iPhone 11 and initially received a quote of £67 under their faulty category. After sending the phone in, the offer was revised down to £30 due to “Digitizer, Glass Condition, Unable to refurbish LCD”.
What disappointed me was that the original quoted criteria already stated that cracked screens and heavy cosmetic wear were acceptable for faulty devices, so the revaluation felt inconsistent with the original assessment.
I also found the process frustrating because there didn’t appear to be any meaningful way to challenge or discuss the revised valuation. The only alternatives were to accept the reduced offer or pay a £10 fee to have the device returned.
Based on this experience, I would personally use other trade-in services in future, as I have found them to be fairer and more transparent when assessing devices against their quoted grading criteria.

Hello John,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations and understand your frustration regarding the revised valuation.

Our faulty device quotes are based on the information provided during the initial assessment, but occasionally devices may have additional faults identified during testing that can affect the final offer. That said, we always want our customers to feel the process is fair and transparent.

We’d really appreciate the opportunity to look into this further for you. Please contact our support team directly at info@webuytek.co.uk with your order details so we can review the assessment and discuss the outcome with you in more detail.

Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us continue improving our service.

Good customer service

I initially left a bad review due to a confusion over my quote, but I will say the customer service at webuytek is really good and human led. I had quick responses over email and my issue was resolved really quickly and reasonably. Thank you to the team.

I’d recommend the service. Just be aware to read all the guidelines before you assume you’ve picked the right price and your device meets all the criteria. If something seems wrong with your quote check in with customer service directly.

Hello,

Thank you for the great review!

Quick, easy, and no sneaky price changes—that’s exactly how we think it should be. Your device passed its check, and boom… payment sent, no awkward “actually…” conversations 😄

Really glad you had a smooth experience (and noticed the difference!). Thanks for the recommendation—if you’ve got any more devices ready to cash in, we’ve got you covered!
