Love Swappa
June 29, 2016

I have to say this is the BEST place to buy tablets and phones. Best prices by far anywhere on the web. I have purchased about 12-15 phones/tablets for myself, friends and family and many of them are now using swappa too. I tell everyone about it.

Easy
June 29, 2016

My first 2 experiences purchasing on Swappa have been easy and painless. 1 phone purchase and 1 tablet purchase. I have definitely saved money and time using Swappa. I will be using Swappa again for purchases and to sell. Intuitive site makes things simple, I can sign on using a Social Media login so I did not have to set up yet another user ID and password.

Best user experience ever!
June 29, 2016

Used Swappa for the first time this week to buy a replacement phone after my husband ran over and crushed his with the car. The phone still worked so I was looking for screen repair when I came across Swappa. Turns out it was cheaper to buy a replacement and Swappa made the experience so easy and painless. I've used many online shopping sites, but hands down, Swappa is the best-designed site I have ever come across. They thought thru every question or concern and answered it before I even thought of it... the process flowed so easily. Big round of applause for the developers. I wish every site on the web was so well designed.

Great experience
June 29, 2016

Swappa is great and everything was perfect, though Swappa might take a bit too much of a fee. It's a flat $10 for everything I think, which is reasonable for most devices but for cheaper devices like smartwatches it's a bit much.

Simple, Quick, and Worth the $
June 29, 2016

After 2 misses with another popular online company that kept sending me blacklisted phones, I was pretty frustrated by the time I got to Swappa. The prices were a little higher than I was hoping, but the promptness in which I received the phone and quality product that I got were completely worth it.

Great transaction with Misty
June 27, 2016

I bought a Galaxy S5 Active advertised as like new. It arrived when promised in original Hong Kong packaging (english). Battery needed charging, and had to get new SIM card from AT&T store since old one was obsolete, but once charged phone worked beutifully, used AT&T Remote Transfer to move contacts and apps without issue. Very happy with the transaction with Misty and with Swappa as well. Outstanding program!

Swappa Rocks!
June 26, 2016

I decided to try republic wireless and needed a phone specific to their network. I was able to find a used phone in excellent condition for a great price on Swappa. Shipping was extremely fast, the phone is just what I was hoping for and I saved money by buying used instead of new. I am a very happy customer and I highly recommend Swappa!
