“Fast, efficient, good buy back prices”

Tim W.
11/1/22

I was amazed with these guys. They made me an amazingly reasonable offer, provided shipping labels, and had a system allowing me to track as my items were inspected, etc. I received my check less than 2 weeks after I sent the items off. Excellent!

“They hold my iphone hostage. And still no news!”

Tiantian T.

They've been holding my iphone for more than 2 weeks, i can't track my phone and i can't reach anyone from their company. I've traded phone in with other online company and usually i get paid within a week! What takes them so long? What made no one to respond my email & phone calls? I would call it scam till someone reply me! And if i don't hear them soon, i will take legal actions again your company!

I sent in a very old iPhone that I thought was worthless and I got $40 for it. Overall a good experience.

We're sorry you weren't happy with your recent transaction. We have no control over USPS Transit times.

Buy Back is easy to work with and prompt with sending refund. Had issue with receiving box to send equipment and they quickly responded

Offered decent pricing for trade in of older technology. Trade in was easy, fast, and straight forward.

9/15/18- Still no response, still no payment. Sure seems like I have been ripped off by BuyBackWorld.

We're sorry you weren't happy with your experience with us on your most recent transaction. Since your order came when we were transitioning to a new facility in order to better service our customers there was a delay in processing your order. As it stands, on 09/24/2018 your device passed inspection for the Fully Quoted Value of $70 for your device. Your payment was then processed and mailed out to you on 09/25/2018. You should have received your check already but if you have not you can always email Service@buybackworld.com with your Order ID and we'll issue out to you a new check with a tracking number to avoid delivery issues. Thanks again and we look forward to hearing back from you in the near future.

Lousy Service, Dishonest and still no resolve

I sent my apple watch Series 1- original box, excellent condition, no scratches on face, fully functional with power cord and power brick. I was notified on 8/22 they had received it (according to them, opened box, but hadn't yet inspected). On 9/5/18 still waiting. So, I tried email, their non-working "chat" window (you can only leave a message) and I even called (some digging to get a phone number). No responses whatsoever- just silence. What customer service and what is going on with my apple watch.

Straightforward way to sell electronics. The option to have them send you the packaging materials is helpful.

Everything was fine but the refund check took a very long time to receive. The status online was at "Inspection" for a very long time.

They took care of me quickly. The process was easy and given the age of the iPhone, the price was quite fair.
