I can't believe how fast the shipping box arrived. I shipped the computer the next day and I had my $$ within 3 days. Total time from accepting the offer on the web until cash in my PayPal - 6 days. If you have a computer you want to sell, you owe it to yourself to at least check out Gazelle.

Smooth transaction, quick and easy. It is better than the Apple trade in program. I will definitely do business with Gazelle again.

I sent my s6 edge plus in to be sold, they told me the phone still had the kill switch activated and offered me $3, I asked for it to be returned. When I received the phone it was forced open with damage to the housing and a charging cable can not be installed.
They never contacted me back after I reported the issue. They should have a class action law suit against them.

Unexpected happiness!
March 22, 2017

I am amazed at the price Gazelle paid for my working-but-less-than-perfect electronics (iPhone and MacBook Pro). Fast, easy, seamless process. Quick payment, got a bonus for taking payment as an Amazon gift card. FLAWLESS!

This is the second time we have worked with Gazelle. It is easy and quick! Great experience and everything happened just as advertised. Couldn't be happier.

I will use it again
March 19, 2017

So many negative reviews, and I don't know why. My transaction with Gazelle was seamless -- they gave me the price I wanted, sent me the box and paid me the money. You need to give a fair assessment of your technology people, and you will get the money you deserve.

Seamless Experience
March 18, 2017

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 bought an iPhone 5 64gb and was sent the phone in a reasonable time. The phone was physically in good condition, but the battery was complete trash. It would die after not being plugged in for five minutes and at seventy percent. The email they sent me to get ahold of them was a dead end link with the message "Sorry for the inconvenience our site is under maintenance". Finally, I just googled "Gazelle contact", emailed them, and was responded with an automated message explaining they'd get back to me. 24 hours later and still no response, but they were however sending me promotional ads? When they finally got back to me a week later they explained they couldn't do anything because my 30 days were up. Well ya, It took so damn long for them to reply.

Horrible Company
March 1, 2017

I would just like to warn everyone who is thinking about buying a phone from this company to not buy anything from them. We purchased an Iphone 6 less than a year ago that no longer will even turn on. The battery was loose so we took it to Apple to look into, after inspecting it they said that Gazelle had replaced the battery and other parts with after market parts from Mexico. The motherboard no longer works and the phone is completely useless. After calling Gazelle I was told that it is past the 30 day warranty and there is nothing they can do. I find it very sad they will not help us when the problem with the phone has nothing to do with us, but the parts they put it in.

If you do decide to purchase I wish you luck and hopefully your experience is better than mine.

Ended up going to Apple and buying a REFUBISHED. Great cust svc. Went above and beyond with answering every single question I had in CHAT ONLIINE. Favorite way to research because it is in writing. Also they email you a copy of whole conversation. One year warranty on Macbook 13.3. Paid a little bit more but SO worth it.

You suck
February 24, 2017

I purchased an unlocked phone from Gazelle. It arrived locked. Instead of offering good customer service and doing an exchange because they made an error they made me place a separate order and return the locked one. They should have handled the exchange over the phone and maybe even offered good customer service and at least apologized for my inconvenience. Maybe even offer a discount code off the new one I had the inconvenience of placing an order for with them just because that would have been the right thing to do. Gazelle your customer service SUCKS!

AWFuL - scam stay away!
February 14, 2017

Gazelle sold me a "refurbished" iPhone 6 at full price. They forgot to include charger and it took several days before I received one. Less than 6 months into owning the phone it started to beak down but they refused to help in any way. Don't waste your money or time Gazelle is dishonest company that will scam you!

I sent Gazelle my Samsung Galaxy S5 when I upgraded my phone. Realized I hadn't heard anything or received my $60, and finally tracked down an email from 30 days ago stating that my phone had been "recycled", but the value of the phone had been zeroed out, so no payment whatsoever. Bastards! Tough lesson for me. Please learn from my mistake. Do not do business w this company!

Never received payment
February 6, 2017

Why have I not received payment for my product? I have been on hold for 31 minutes so far even though when I called, I was told that my hold time would be 6 minutes! The company has not paid me for my product after emailing to say that my payment would be processed in 3 - 5 days. That is theft!
