Swappa staff rock!
March 8, 2016

No matter what type of device I'm buying, or seller I'm working with, the Swappa staff keep us on track and support us to get the job done. If things go south, they're there to help support the buyer (as long as we aren't full of it). Great work Swappa, keep it up!

Absolutely love this site
March 8, 2016

I'm a big promoter of this service. Bought my last half dozen phones from here. I love the opportunity to get 18 month old technology in perfect condition so affordably. I'll never buy from the provider again...

I like swappa
March 8, 2016

I do like how swappa does business. The communication encouraged between buyer and seller is better than other sale sites. The phone I purchased wasn't exactly as described, but it was in acceptable condition. I still think swappa is great.

I have purchased two phones in the past two months, both at great prices.

The first transaction was quick and easy with a mint condition iPhone 6s.

The second transaction was more interesting. The iPhone 6 was as described, but my carrier gave me the runaround when setting it up. Luckily, a Swappa rep was extremely helpful in troubleshooting and would reply to inquiries within 30 minutes each time!

Overall - Swappa users had accurately described products and the Swappa team was AMAZINGLY helpful!

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge
March 7, 2016

I was a bit hesitant as I was brand new to swappa. Now I am so happy with my experience on swappa and the choice in the selection of cell phones available, I can't wait to make my next purchase. The communication is very easy between seller and buyer. Also, the sellers are very quick to respond to all questions.

Excellent phones at Swappa
March 5, 2016

Swappa is the place to hunt for new and cleanly used phones and tablets. I have never regretted any purchase from Swappa. The staff are also on hand to offer any help before, during and/or after a purchase. Thanks Swappa.

Loving Swappa
March 5, 2016

I've now bought two iPhones on Swappa and both have been great experiences. Swappa helps the buyer feel that they are guided through a purchase they can feel confident about. The checklist is really helpful to fully test a phone after it arrives. I recommend Swappa to friends looking to buy electronics.

Doesn't get any easier!
March 4, 2016

It doesn't get any easier. I was new to the site and happened to purchase a "new(resale)" phone from a seller who was also new to the site. Very pleased. I will let others know to consider this site if they are looking to buy a used or resale smartphone.

First class service.
March 4, 2016

I heard about your company from a Verizon rep. I wanted another phone without a 2 year contract or paying for a phone for 2 years.
Your web site was user friendly and Swappa's Follow up service was outstanding. The way you looked out/followed the sale for the Seller and the Buyer protection was the best. You made sure we stayed in touch and was satisfied My phone is in Great shape and The Price was Right. I would use you again. Thank you.
