Generally, I'm happy with Gazelle's service. They do a good job and their service is efficient. I do think I saw my computer for sale the day after I got their approval of my device. That they were selling it for 3X what they gave me. I know this is a service, they need to make money, etc., etc., etc. It would be nice to get a wee bit more for something they value so highly. Four stars.
They made a mistake in receiving the phone I sent to them. I tried numerous times through phone calls and emails to point out their mistake, but they had no desire to fix their mistake. This they offered me $78 less than what they initially offered. I will definitely not use them again.
Used be good and had used them in the past with good experiences. Must be under new management who has decided to scam people because now they will suddenly claim your device is bad condition and pay you almost nothing for it, or claim they will return it but not do so. WHAT A RIPOFF this place has become! You'd be better off donating your device to a charity that can use it.
Gazelle did not ship the shipping label and box to me to send the iPhone to them per their contract. They sent me an email stating my contract would expire soon and directed me to customer service to resolve the issue. The Customer Service Department did not address the issue and when I asked to escalate hung up- and that after 2 excruciating long holds..
I don't understand all of these negative reviews. My experience with Gazelle was awesome. I traded in my iPhone 6 and after sending in my phone they told me that my phone was in better condition than I thought and offered me MORE than my original quoted offer. The whole process was seamless from the shipping box to receiving my payment. I highly recommend Gazelle.
I have sold many phones through Gazelle with zero issues. Recently I tried to sell 2 phones and had nothing but issues. First phone was told it does not power on and they were going to reduce my offer. I contacted them to ask them if they charged the phone first. The next day I received the full price offer. Seriously? You didn't even try to charge the phone? Then they could not send my money via PayPal, which there has never been issue with. Second phone they keep telling me it is financed by the carrier. I contacted them indicating I have the final bill showing the device is paid, off, I have emails showing the device is paid off and I have the IMEI check showing the device is clear. They still refuse to acknowledge. Sending my business to Amazon. I will never use Gazelle again!
I ordered a laptop on Tuesday and on Friday I called and was told it was being shipped that day, I should have a tracking number in my email that day. Saturday night I got a voice mail saying that they didn't have my item any longer and would need a call back to authorize a refund. I called back and agin was told it was shipping that day! I got transfered and disconnected. Called back again and finally had someone tell me theres was no laptop and they would refund my money. Why in this day in age why does it take 5 days for them to figure out they don't have the unit I ordered? Horrible customer service and now I have to start over looking for a laptop.
This is the most painless way to trade in your old kit and get cash for it. I sent in a pair of iPhones and followed instructions they sent. Within 24 hours of receiving the goods, I got my money. Will continue to them!
It took only a 8 days to receive the free shipping box, send the computer and receive the money. I sold my 4 year old computer for a reasonable amount of money -- likely more than I could have gotton by selling it on Facebook or Craigs list.
They offered me a certain amount for a pristine iPhone 7. I sent it in and they told me it had scratches on it and reduced their offer by 50%. Yep, bait and switch. I had them send the phone back to me and used Amazon buy back instead. Amazon quoted me a price and made good on the offer. Stay away from Gazelle, they lie in hopes you'll fall for the scam.
It was easy to get my quote and send in my box, and my check was even bigger than quoted, which was a nice surprise. This is my second time selling to Gazelle and I have always been happy with the turnaround time and overall experience.
I found the entire process simple. The payment for me device was very fair. Very quick service. I would definitely do business with Gazelle again. I used the mail in service. Easy to print out labels for mailing. Very clear instructions on how the process worked.
This was my second experience selling an old phone with Gazelle. I may have been able to get marginally more $ for the phone selling it myself, but that would have entailed a lot more hassle listing it online with a billion other similar items, sifting through responses (some of which are scammy), haggling, yada yada yada. Much simpler to just send it to Gazelle and in a very short time receive a check - which came in handy right before the Christmas holiday. Thanks, Gazelle!
I bought a iPhone 6 off of gazelle.com in Excellent condition, which is $50 more than poor condition. I received my phone in time and was so excited until i got a phone in HORRIBLE condition with a crack in the screen! Gazelle said they will refund me $50 because that's the difference between excellent and poor but they could not exchange it. I could only return for a full refund, which i had already sold my old phone so I would be stuck phoneless! Im not satisfied with $50 because even the poor condition phones do not have cracks in them.
Sent them my broken iPhone 6s. They refused to keep their original estimated value. Adjusted the offer to ZERO and said it was not actually an IPhone 6s, but actually a "parts only cell phone". That's a lie. I bought the iPhone through ATT and paid $900 for it. I know what it is. How about this: I think Gazelle is actually a "scam."
This is my second time selling a phone with Gazelle and the process works great. After I submitted my information I waited about a week for the shipping materials to arrive. Once my phone was received it took about a day before I received my payment through Amazon.
Easy process, fair pricing and in fact - they communicated that the gear I sent in was in better condition than expected and automatically raised the price they were willing to pay for them! Ethical and transparent, I truly appreciate the way I was treated. I will be back!
Bought two iPhone 6 phones and one has a GPS/ wifi issue, and the other has what they call touch disease. I bought both phones in excellent condition, but the phones did not work in excellent condition. The phones also have no more warranty, so I feel I was ripped off. I learned my lesson, and that is to save my money and buy from the Apple Store.
I received a quote from Gazelle for $46.00 based on my very accurate assessment of the condition of my 3 year old Galaxy S7 phone. My phone was nearly flawless except for slight discoloration of the screen. However, after they received it I got an email from them notifying me that not only would they not honor their original offer, but they now changed the value to zero. They did offer to recycle it for me though at no charge (how generous of them). Needless to say, I demanded they send it back to me. Verizon bought it from me for $32.00. Done deal. Thanks Gazelle for the education. Now I'm on a mission to educate others. Scram from this scam!
Bait and switch...Never use gazelle
Bait and switch...Never use gazelle to sell your used items. Once they receive your item they will offer you less saying your item has too many scratches on it. I sent them a samsung phone in immaculate condition. They offered 90 dollars less than my offer. This is deceptive business practice and they should never be trusted. What a horrible way to conduct your business
Answer: No experience with that. Experience with their staff and their customer service, don't fo business with them. My phone was returned in October, and I still have not received my refund. They finally sent me an email saying my return was received, in December but tracking showed it received in October, and still no refund.
Answer: I would not buy from or sell to Gazelle regardless of what they claim.
Answer: No! Dishonest! Had to file a dispute with my credit card company tinged my money back and that took 3 months
