I filled out the form for a OnePlus 9 Pro 5G and I entered information according to the options presented to me. I was supposed to get about $170, which I used towards a new phone, and it was fine to me. When the Whiz received it, they docked $100 through no fault of my own. They need to update their options so we don't expect more and have a bad experience, like I did.

Thank you for the review. Your OnePlus 9 Pro was heavily scratched. As our website states in order to qualify for "Good" condition we ask that any scratches not be felt by the fingernail in order for us to provide the full quote. The change in offer is to cover the cost of the repair of your damaged device.

Great experience
November 4, 2024

As promised, the process was quick and easy for selling my cell phone. The team was professional, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Got a fair price without any hassle, and payment was prompt. Would definitely recommend this service to anyone looking for a simple selling experience!

The agreement was to sell the phone to them, but they ran a check and it turned out that Samsung still had not credited my trade-in device to my account, so these folks offered me half of the original offer for a phone that was worth $1800 brand new at the time. I declined and they were angry that I apparently wasted their time, but that doesn't constitute the vindictive act of reporting my phone stolen though. They were very lucky that Sansung returned my money and trade-in.

We are not able to report your device as stolen as we've never owned or activated it. Only you or Samsung can do that. We had nothing to do with that.

Amount paid not what expected
December 7, 2024

The evaluation by your team is totally different that my own assessment of the ipad i sent to you. I feel i was not given a fair amount.

Hi Gary,
I am very sorry that you are disappointed. I took a look at your iPad and it has notable light/bright spots in the LCD. The LCD is damaged and that is the reason for the change in your offer. This is certainly not a device that has much value to start with and as such we typically do not offer anything in this condition but made an offer as a goodwill gesture. Again, I am sorry that it is disappointing. That is not our goal. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to serve you.

Whiz Cells were amazing! I was able to print my shipping label from home to mail. As soon as the item was received my money was deposited into my paypal account. Very easy and quick to do!

I thought the phone was in good condition. The case was perfect without a mark and the screen only had the faintest of "smudges" in the most used areas that were only visible at certain angles and invisible with the display on. Seemed to fit the "few light scratches, can not be felt by fingernail" if not better. I would personally consider it excellent if I were buying a used phone. They graded it "other" without explanation and lowered the offered payout for by 20%.

Hi Alex,

Your phone did not have the faintest of "smudges". It had scratches on the phones screen that are notable. The description you gave of few light scratches that can not be felt by the fingernail is our description of good condition. However, you selected excellent which states flawless, less than 10% of phones fall into this condition. This is why your quote changed and we did give you an explanation. The email you responded to accept the new value has the explanation in it. I am sorry you are disappointed. That is never our goal. The percentage of adjustment to your quote would have been much less had you selected good condition.

Worst experience ever
October 17, 2024

They said my phone was locked with a pin code. I debt then the only pin codes I've ever used and they said none of the pins worked. I sent my device reset completely. They just didn't want to pay the amount I was quoted. Original quote was $640, I wound receiving $160. Pathetic. I will never use this company again and i will be sure to share my experiences with others. Worthless!

Michael this is at best disingenuous. We emailed you showing that there is a pin code lock on the phone. It is not unlocked as you stated. It is locked to Xfinity Mobile. And we offered to send the phone back to you at our expense but you wanted to sell the phone. Your review is, unfortunately, a completely inaccurate review of the events that took place. Please feel free to send us the $160 back and we will ship the phone back to you.

Fast, easy, courteous
October 21, 2024

Clear instructions telling me how to find my model # and memory and how to rate my phone, how to mail it (they paid postage) and when I would receive their price for it. Then, they sent a note saying what they would pay for it (as expected) and when payment would arrive. Everything was clear and concise. When I wrote with question, I got an immediate polite answer.

Not so good
October 16, 2024
Updated review

They messed up in the beginning but eventually made it almost right. Started off telling me I sent them 1st generation iPad- they fixed that saw it was indeed 5th generation. Two days of emails with two different people. Then was told it was WiFi only and dropped the offer $10. I told them when I first filled out the form it was WiFi only! Didn't want to start another 2 or 3 days worth emails- so took the offer. Have a phone I had set up to sell to them but decided to try someone else. They were very nice about everything but they should have honored the offer.

We apologize for the bad experience. We were training a new employee that only looked at the box that you'd sent it in. We would appreciate another chance to earn your business in the future.
