Instructions were easy to follow and I didn't feel rushed. The initial iPhone cable used to check if the device powered on was a bit faulty causing me having to reset the phone's position twice.

Your devices are not worth what you hope for
The process is a bit slow but it does exactly what you want from the service (to sell your devices). Be aware your devices are not worth what you probably would expect. But it does pay cash on the spot.

Great Return Price
The promo I received when turning my device in helped me out a lot. The amount I wanted to receive back from the machine was exactly what I received when turning my phone in!

You low ball on the price
You low ball on the price. I accepted reluctantly out of frustration because of the time I had invested getting to the point where you tell me what you are going to pay. In truth, I regret selling it.
