Very good communication
Very good communication, was quoted one price but received a significant drop when phone was inspected I chose to take amount but wanted more, quick service and money transferred within an hour

Hi Joanne,
Thank you for the kind words on communication and speed — money transferred within an hour is always what we aim for!
We're sorry the revised offer was a significant drop from the initial quote and that it didn't feel quite right. If you'd like us to take another look at your inspection findings, please do get in touch at contact@grademobile.co.uk with your order reference.
For future reference, booking directly through our website rather than through a comparison site gives a much clearer picture of our grading criteria upfront, which can help set more accurate expectations before sending a device in.
We hope to do better for you next time!
Best,
Grade Mobile Customer Support Team

Fast payment but was quoted nearly double at the start and it didn’t say I would receive so less, the phone wasn’t in bad condition like they said there were scratches etc and there wasn’t.

Hi Vicky,
Thank you for sharing this and we're glad the payment came through quickly.
We're sorry the final offer was nearly half the initial quote and that the damage cited didn't reflect the condition you sent the phone in. If you believe the inspection findings weren't accurate, that's something we'd genuinely like to look into. Please get in touch at contact@grademobile.co.uk with your order reference and any photos you have of the device before sending and we'll have it reviewed by a senior member of the team.
For future reference, booking directly through our website rather than through a comparison site gives a much clearer picture of our grading criteria upfront, which can help set more accurate expectations before sending a device in.
We'd like the chance to make this right.

Hi Abhinay,
Thank you for the feedback and we're sorry to hear the response times and valuation didn't meet your expectations.
We always aim to respond within 24 hours and we're sorry if that wasn't the case for you. On the valuation, we'd like to understand more about your specific experience. Please get in touch at contact@grademobile.co.uk with your order reference and we'll look into both points for you.
We hope to have the chance to do better.

Hi Andrew,
What a wonderful review to read — thank you so much for sharing the full story!
Found us on Instagram, browsed the website, got a great deal and a phone that arrived like new with no dents, scratches or damage — that's exactly the journey we want every customer to have. And a charger and plug included too!
Refurbished really doesn't have to mean compromising on anything and we're so glad that came through for you. We hope to see you back whenever you're ready for your next upgrade!

DO NOT SEND YOUR DEVICE TO THIS COMPANY
DO NOT SEND YOUR DEVICE TO THIS COMPANY
I sent my device to this company in perfect working order , it had a couple of little scrapes on the side of the device due to always being in a case since the day i have had it, the online offer stated £650
2 days passed and they sent me an offer of £280, they told me that my screen was faulty, my screen was not faulty at all, i was selling my iPhone 16 pro because i upgraded my phone to a 512gb because i was lacking in storage when taking any new videos/photos , they then offered me £310 instead which i still said no because i was expecting over £600!!
I have now received my phone back and the screen is damaged, bit of a coincidence i say no to the offer and my phone is now damaged.
Not happy i recommend you use anybody but this company when trying to sell your device

Hi Wesley,
We take this review extremely seriously and want to address it directly.
We completely refute any suggestion that damage would be caused to a device intentionally. That is not something that would ever happen within our operation and it would be wholly contrary to everything we stand for as a business.
However, we do understand how concerning it is to receive your phone back in a worse condition than you sent it, and we want to investigate this thoroughly. Screen damage can occasionally occur in transit and we want to understand exactly what happened in your case.
Please contact us immediately at contact@grademobile.co.uk with your order reference, photos of the device as you received it back and any photos you have of it before sending. We will have a senior member of the team investigate this as an absolute priority and respond to you directly.
We are sorry for the distress this has caused and we are committed to getting to the bottom of it.

Hi Jessica,
Kept in contact every step of the way — from receiving your phone right through to confirming your payout. That's the communication standard we hold ourselves to and it's really great to hear it came through!
Really glad the instructions were clear too — we want the whole process to feel effortless. Hope to see you again soon!

Hi Jonny,
Thank you for sharing this and we're really glad you're happy with the final outcome!
We'd like to look into the initial offer of £1.68 as that clearly wasn't right and shouldn't have happened. We want to make sure our systems are working as they should. Please do get in touch at contact@grademobile.co.uk with your order reference so we can investigate.
Really glad the counter offer process got you to £40 and that it ended well. Hope to see you again soon!

Apple Watch didn’t turn on
Product came on time but Apple Watch never turned on. Not sure whether it’s the charger or the watch being faulty. If the watch worked then it would have been great value for money

Unprompted review
Reply from GRADE MOBILE
Hi Sarah,
We're really sorry to hear the Apple Watch didn't turn on when it arrived — that's not the experience we want for any customer and we'd like to get this sorted for you straight away.
Before returning, it's worth trying a different charging cable if you have one, as sometimes a faulty cable can be the culprit. However, if the watch itself is the issue, you're fully covered under our 12 month warranty and we'll arrange a replacement or refund.
Please get in touch at contact@grademobile.co.uk with your order reference and we'll make this a priority.
