You guys are awesome. Right from the start with your app, for the diagnostic, to sending me my money on time. Keep up the great work. I used you guys several times now and I will be back.

Easy, quick and reliable
February 8, 2019

This is the third time I've sold my old cellphone with orchard and every time the process is easy, payment is quick and the amount I receive is better than selling it back to my carrier.

Just upgraded my phone and sent the one I bought a couple of years ago back to be sold to someone else. Fantastic way to get what you want, save money, get great service, and recycle your old phone (not to mention getting paid for it!). I tell everyone I know to check it out.

Install the app, go thru the steps, it gives you a quote, it gives you a pre-paid mailing label, you ship it... wait a while... ka-ching!

I stumble upon Orchard while looking for a used iPhone to replace my 5 year old 5S. Got a phone in "Like New" condition, and it really is like a new phone.

I know where I will go next time I want to buy a smartphone!

I've bought several phones from Orchard and am very satisfied with them. Quality has been as described. One phone had a battery issue and we got attentive service with quick response times. I would buy from Orchard again.

Perfect
January 16, 2019

I was looking to change from a Blackberry Priv to an iPhone. I went on the Web and found favourable reviews for Orchard. I did my research and decided to go with them. I purchased an iPhone X from them. When it arrived, I was really impressed. It looked like a brand new phone with no scratches on it. The phone functions perfectly and I have been very happy with it. I would definitely recommend Orchard if you are shopping for a quality used phone and a company that stands behind their products.

Great customer service
January 16, 2019

My daughter bought a phone from Orchard and had not problems. She gave me the old phone and helped me get all set up. So when it was time for my husband to upgrade we went right to Orchard. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the phone and we had to send it back and purchase another. There customer service was awesome. They have quick turnaround even though it was over the holidays. Will definitely use them again.

We have purchased several phones from Orchard and when we found flaws in the most recent purchases, the folks at Orchard worked hard to resolve the issues. We worked with several customer service reps and they were all focused on making our shopping experience enjoyable. I would not hesitate to recommend Orchard to my friends.

Like most I'm sure, I was a little skeptical when I first discovered Orchard. But having just finished my first phone sale through Orchard, that skepticism has vanished and I am very impressed with the hassle free business model. On top of that I got considerably more cash for my phone than a trade in with my carrier would have given me. I would hate to see anyone shy away from Orchard simply because of trust issues with shady online businesses. These guys are legit. Sellers will get fair value for their devices, instead of being ripped off by predators on Kijiji or the oligopoly that are the big three carriers. This is a risk free method that will get you more cash in your pocket than a trade in at any of the carriers. I highly recommend.

I have used Orchard twice to sell a phone after upgrading. It could not be easier and takes all the stress away from trying to sell it privately. Simply box it up, send it to Orchard, and they take care of the selling.

I will definitely use Orchard again in the future and would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Seamless experience!

Loved the experience. Easy to use app that provided a quote and easy to send in pre-paid box. After sending in the phone, Orchard actually let me know my phone is worth more than originally quoted! Not often will a company do that and give more money than promised. Will use again!

Excellent service!

I sold an iPhone through Orchard and I will definitely be doing it again with my next phone. I was skeptical at first, but after seeing basically only good reviews I decided to give it a shot. They ended up actually giving me more money for my phone than the initial quote. Any email you send will get a reply from a real person in a short amount of time. I would totally recommend them to anyone wanting to sell an old phone!

Auto correct error

There is a typo in my review, auto correct is most likely the cause, refused should have been refunded! Sorry Orchard

My second order
December 3, 2017
Previous review

This is the second time I've ordered a used iPhone from orchard via Amazon. Both phones have arrived quickly and in the stated condition.
The most recent delivery there was some mix up at the post office & I was charged COD delivery., I contacted orchard and they promptly and politely refused me the money.
Good service, great phones.

I have sold 3 phones through Orchard and the transactions has been seamless. A super easy way to sell your phone for little effort, for a great price. All the staff are kind, understanding, and really want you to get the most money possible for your phone. Once you download the app to quote your phone, they send you a box and a shipping label and you simply just package up your phone and bring it to the post office. Once they receive your phone, they again, quote your phone (usually for the same price as the original quote). You have the option to select a quick sale, so receiving less money but right away or the most amount of money after a four week window. I am all for selling things on kijiji but honestly, being a student is quite busy and I just do not always have the time to put in the effort to sell something this way. Orchard has allowed me to still make a decent amount of money with literally zero effort. I trust that they do their job well, and that I will receive an e transfer at the end of my selling window. I will definitely continue to use Orchard and spread the word!

I sold my iPhone 6 as I got a new iPhone, and a lot of other places were accepting it at $100. Orchard offered me much higher price based on market price, and after their inspection of my phone, I got higher price than the original quote. I was so surprised since I thought they would probably find a way to lower the price. I do not normally write a review, but I want to recommend this company to everyone. The process is so easy - you just download the app and it checks the functionality of your phone automatically. The customer service team was also very helpful.

I've now sold 2 phones and bought 2 phones with Orchard over the past few years. Their service is user friendly and efficient for both buying and selling. The prices are for both selling and buying are far superior to those offered by cell service providers. I recommend Orchard all the time. Friends and family who are initially skeptical are super impressed when I show them the website and tell them about my positive experiences.

Every aspect of using Orchard to sell my iPhone was easy from getting a quote, receiving instructions to send the phone, notice of receiving the phone, new quote once phone actually received by Orchard, and finally your payment delivered electronically.
You're kept informed every step of the way.

Our family has purchased 3 iPhones from Orchard - two 5S and one 6S - between 2017 and 2018. All the 3 phones arrived promptly, in good condition and packaging. We had no problem setting them up. The price was reasonable, considered the thorough testing and 30-day warranty. We did not have any problem with the 3 phones, hence never needed the warranty.
But what impressed us most was their customer support when we had problem with a pair of new earbuds we bought as a complete package with the 6S. The 1st pair did not work; They promptly shipped us a 2nd pair which was lost in the mail; The 3rd pair we received but also did not work. We visited their office on College Street as they suggested, for them to trouble shoot and were provided a replacement pair. In 2 months, unfortunately, the pair failed again. We visited the office again on December 7 and received another pair of replacement.
With all these failures we should have been frustrated. However, in all the correspondence and in each encounter, we witnessed their staff (Dylan in particular) went above and beyond to trouble shoot and try the best to solve the problem. Although they could not figure out what went wrong but they focus on customer experience, put themselves in our shoes and take ownership of the issues.
It was a life lesson for my teenage daughter - even in mishap, a calm and positive approach can always make the situation better for everyone. Orchard may not have full control if the batch of earbuds have some defects. But they have control on good customer support, and focus on just that.
We left Orchard with a new pair of replacement, and I know I will remain a loyal customer!
