Phone purchase
July 10, 2016

Needed new phone. Did NOT want to pay AT &T prices on phone. My daughter got what she wanted easily and loves her new phone. Thank you for keeping prices low! Loved the fact that each step was easy!

Swappa continues to impress

This is my 3rd purchase on Swappa, and I've also sold 2 phones. The transactions have all been seamless, and I've gotten better deals than you get on the auction site. Satisfied Swappa customer!

Buying With Confidence
July 10, 2016

I'm glad I made my purchase(iPhone 6s plus) with swappa. After reading the selling and buying guidelines, I felt that I could go ahead and shop with confidence. I was not disappointed. Everything went smooth and with no issues. Also the Staff, responded fast to a couple of questions I asked. That is a plus.

Thank you!

Amazing phones for a great price
July 10, 2016

I've used swappa now for 4 different phone purchases and i can only say good things about the site. Never have i felt safer buying a phone from another person than i have on this site. Even the 1 bad experience with a phone came with swift response from staff and excellent communication between me and the seller. I dont see myself buying a phone from a store ever again.

Semi-Quick sale, good phone
July 9, 2016

I bought the phone from the seller on a saturday of a long weekend, no response two days in a row, then the seller finally responded (emails were going to their spam folder) and they sent it 1 day priority to make up the time.

Worried it would be a failed sale, but swappa staff stayed on top of it.

Swappa is the best!
July 9, 2016

I finally made my first purchase on Swappa after signing up nine months ago. I was referred to Swappa by another happy customer and since I have been in the market for a new phone I did my research on the company and decided that this was the best platform for me to purchased new-ish devices. The process is very simple, seamless, and easy. You're able to locate your phone purchase contact the seller and also have swap her employees monitor the process. Their customer service has been excellent and the entire experience as a whole is remarkable. I myself have been referring swappa to others even before I made my first purchase and in making my first purchase, it just confirmed the feeling that I got about Swappa are in wanting to tell other people about the experience and the platform!

I had never heard of Swappa until last week. I stumbled upon it when searching for a used phone sorted by carrier. I've run into several problems in the past trying to buy phones off the internet (incompatibility issues, receiving goods that didn't match descriptions, unscrupulous sellers/repairers, etc.), but Swappa made it easy. I got exactly what I wanted for a great price.

Absolutely pleased!
July 8, 2016

I have to say that the whole experience from beginning to the final processing of the device arrival at my mailbox was completely a wonderful one. The seller was very professional and committed. Providing consistent feed back and follow throughout the sell. The response to questions that I had from the swappa staff was awesome. There wasn't any delay or unanswered concerns that they didn't immediately take care of. I am a satisfied customer and recommend anyone who is looking to buy or sell, this is the place to do business. Thanks again for everything and for the services provided.

I already contacted the seller TSG Wholesale for that transaction 3 weeks ago, because I am not satisfied with this order. I don't think the phone was actually new as stated on the add, because the plastic protections have been removed and put back in place several times. Plus the needle to insert the SIM card was missing from the package. I couldn't put my SIM in place and actually use the phone. The charger is too hot. I have no answer from the seller.

Swappa and all its awesomeness
July 7, 2016

My experiences with swappa have all been great. Every product I've purchased have served their purpose. I'm skeptical about second hand products, but through swappa, the transition is made with a certain since of security and transparency, that puts my mind at ease. I'm waiting on them to offer other electronic avenues, such as televisions, game consoles, and etc.

From the business

The place to buy and sell newish tech. Safety, simplicity and staff-approved listing make Swappa the better way to buy and sell used phones, tablets, laptops, video games, home tech and more.
