Wow, just Wow. So fast and so good.
January 5, 2016

Super fast shipping, if anything he over exaggerates the negative as I did not see any flaws on the phone at all. To me it would have been Mint, not Good. He also included lots of extras that he did not mention in the ad. Obviously this was my experience, but he seems like the kind of guy that would do that! Very professional.

I've bought 4 phones on Swappa and have never had a negative experience. Their format and business model is great. Super easy, secure, and great customer service. THE EASIEST way to buy a phone on the net.

Reasonable prices, and delivery on time. My favorite part of this website is that every purchase goes through a swappa staff member. Communication is great between swappa, buyer, and seller. Safe purchase, everything is verified.

Nexus 7 2013
January 4, 2016

I subscribed to swappa site to tell me when a Nexus 7 2013 was available. Evenntually got an email to one I wanted at the price I wanted. Seller put device in mail right away and I had it in two business days. Would have been quicker if it weren't for the holiday. Device was in great condition and came in original packaging. My second device on swappa and I'll be back if I need something else.

Perfect sale, great staff!
January 3, 2016

My first Swappa purchase was not so great due to the seller giving false information. The staff at Swappa are amazing, they quickly helped resolve my bad sale and soon enough I found another phone and purchased it. My second purchase was perfect!

Swappa phone purchase
January 2, 2016

Appreciated the opportunity to buy two phones on the Swappa site. Screening and photos from private parties made for confidence that the transactions would be exactly as described. Ability to avoid extensive fees that other sites charge. Highly recommend.

Swappa is my GO TO.
January 2, 2016

I always tend to find the latest phones at the most insanely reasonable prices. I get to avoid fees, taxes, and best of all, i get added freebies from sellers such as SD cards screen protectors and cases.
