Hesitant, but glad I used Swappa
December 19, 2015

At first I was hesitant to use Swappa. I had never heard of it before and I couldn't find any reviews other then a reddit post. It turned out to be really easy. I bought an iPhone 6 for my mom. It was described as mint condition, with the box and cables. It came exactly as described. Great experience, I will be using Swappa for future phone purchases

Good Experiene overall.
December 19, 2015

I was looking for a new device, and eBay was too cluttered. I'd heard about Swappa and figured I'd browse. Prices were comparable. I found the right fit for me and purchased.

I really liked the in-app messaging - everything was clearly documented if there was a dispute. I also liked that they forced the seller to include pictures and verify certain things in order to even have a listing.

Unit arrived as described, seller was good to work with. Swappa jumped in the conversation a few times too, which gave me a sense of comfort knowing there was something/someone there. On every message there's a button you can click if you need help, which I assume flags a human to jump in. Swappa really seems to focus on protecting the buyer.

My first stop for mobile device shopping in the future will be Swappa.

Smooth return
December 19, 2015

This was the 5th time I purchased a phone on Swappa but my first experience with a phone that was not what I expected. I was pleasantly surprised that there were no problems returning the phone for a full refund.

My first time using Swappa I purchased two phones for my children within about 3 days. The experience was super smooth, with easy and fast communication with the sellers. I received my phones within two days of making the purchase. Would definitely recommend and use Swappa again.

I'm so glad i found this site! I have gotten 3 phones from swappa so far and have been extremely pleased with all of them! Shipping is always fast and there's any device from any carrier you can think of. The customer service is great, they respond quickly to any emails you send. I would recommend this site to anyone looking to purchase new devices.

Couldn't be happier. There was a shipping snafu, USPS' fault entirely, but otherwise the transaction went off without a hitch.

Swappa to the rescue
December 17, 2015

Needed to replacement phone quickly, and did not want to buy another new phone. Craigslist is not the place I would choose to perform this type of transaction. A friend recommended Swappa, so I gave it a shot. Turned out perfect!

I am elong time bayer, was hesitant to buy from Swappa, did not know anything about them until saw a friend of mine talking about them on his Facebook. Gave it a try and got very nice deal (iPhone 6s plus 64 gb). Now I have full confidence upon them.
