Just bought a refurbished iPhone 6 for the best price available online; the hardware arrived in less than 36 hours, was in amazing condition (no sign this was ever owned previously), and was ready to go upon opening the box.

Can't recommend Orchard highly enough based on this experience, I'm extremely impressed and happy with my purchase.

I had some old iPhones that I wanted to sell but dreaded the hassle of posting to sites like Kijiji and then meeting someone and haggling when the phones (5c and 4s) were not going to sell for very much. Other easy methods such as the Apple store were indicating values of about 1/5 of what Orchard paid me which was about 1/2 of what you could sell at privately. I was at first concerned about Orchard and having to download the app, etc. but it ended up being a very efficient process. Both phones ended up being fully processed and I had cash in the bank in one day.

They could improve the website (especially for filtering selections for buying), build up more inventory and also make the communication process more seamless - but I am nitpicking. Overall my Orchard was very good - I'll definitely sell with them in the future and considering buying an iPhone or iPad.

Getting a good cheap used iPhone can be a perilous process - not unlike dating on Kindle. A girl shouldn't have to meet some dude on a dark street corner just to get her hands on a little piece of reliable technology that she can take home to call her Mom. Orchard resolves this dilemma and provides reasonably priced phones, guaranteed to look and perform as advertised. I'm pleased with the process and price and fast delivery. This is an example of how e-commerce should work!

When looking for a phone for my daughter, I didn't want to buy new but still wanted an iphone if possible. The first one arrived and had several problems but the real test of a company is how they deal with issues - and Orchard handled this perfectly. They first tried to fix it but when that didn't fix the problem, they sent another. I would definitely recommend them and would use again.

The first time I ordered, I selected a 'factory refreshed' model which if you read on the website, says 'like a new phone inside and out'. Unfortunately the phone I was sent had some flaws (dents, etc) so I wasn't really happy with it. I contacted them and they gave me a full refund plus a promo code for my next order. I ordered the same model again (also factory refreshed) and this time they nailed it! It's in perfect condition, looks brand new. I love that there is a company out there that is helping to reduce waste and that you can trust when buying or selling new phones. Would definitely recommend :)

It's Actually Real
March 12, 2017

Ok, I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical and was somewhat concerned using Orchard, because, frankly, it seemed to easy. Well, it actually was. I gave it a go selling it myself but in the end decided Orchard was worth a shot. It was extremely simple, they sent the pre-paid shipping materials and I got my money within 48 hours (even though it was up to 4 weeks). I'm not going to bother selling an old phone any other way, it actually isn't a scam!

Excellent Service!
March 7, 2017

Package shipped with all that was needed ship phone to Orchard. The technical representative from Orchard was very good at keeping me in the loop on what was going on. My phone sold with the 2 week period (1 week) and I received an electronic bank transfer. Very efficient and have no hesitation using them again.

This has been my third successful sale on Orchard. I sold an iPhone 7 Plus with the intention to move up to a iPhone X. From the automatic assessment of my iPhone condition to trade-in price quotation... to customer support, the Orchard experience is the best by far. The friendly customer support team is always there to help me through the entire process. Orchard has the right people behind great technology. They take the risks and headaches out of selling our treasured iPhones.

Thank you,

Trueman

Process was so easy, wish I had heard of them sooner!

The exact phone I wanted wasn't available when I first checked, so I signed up for e-mail notifications. Sure enough, a couple of weeks later, I get an e-mail saying a 64Gb iPhone SE was available. Ordered online that evening, phone in my hand 3 days later.

Will definitely recommend to others & use again in the future!

Just good surprises
February 27, 2017

At first I had my doubts about whether it was an ambush, especially from the point of view of the seller "we send our cell phone and get the money afterwards". But the orchard team answered all my questions and the exchange was quick and efficient! The best in history I received a better price than appraised.

No stress
February 18, 2017

Was looking on kijiji for a while for an iphone, but had no luck finding someone trustworthy with a good condition phone. The blacklist guarantee makes the premium price of the phone through orchard worth it. Should have just went straight to it, instead of wasting so much time on Kijiji.

Easy to order, phone came quickly and was in what I consider great condition (listed as "good condition"). Only thing you could possibly complain about is the premium price compared to classifieds.

Bought a phone and the service was excellent, phone arrived in two days and works great. Orchard group followed up and even adjusted my bill to get a better discount that I had missed when I ordered online. Very impressed and will definitely refer this company to others and use them again in the future..
