Horrible company! Ordered phone on 1/10, enough time for a move on 3/1. Not shipped until 1/13. STILL IN TRANSIT since 1/17 (today the 25th). Customer "service" won't declare it missing until the day before I move. ONLY offered a refund "if lost." Canceled order using a competitor instead. Service people hands are tied by policy with lip-service "so sorry" and "I understand" which does us no good at all. No COST for THEIR screw-ups. Claimed wildfires were involved but it shipped from Kentucky to Seattle—no passage through the Southwest. Just words. NO ACTION. And they get away with this customer abuse. DO NOT ORDER from Gazelle.

Stay away from gazelle my phone was flawless they told me it wasn't. I asked for my phone back and they deliberately put scratches on it I use a screen protector and spend a lot of money to keep my phone safe. I am so disgusted and aggravated that people could actually do this they ruined my phone now I can't get the full amount I should be getting from another site.

Update 1/22/2024- order finally came 4 days later package slit open retaped -NO PHONE 😡 contacted credit card company to dispute Gazelle & fed ex- I'm done- ATT here I come.

Ordered many times all good results until—recent ordered in stock item paid 3-5 shipping. 3 days later email item not available (had to cancel order they did refund but still no phone) Err I order another pay 3-5 day shipping so far 3 delays still no phone new expected delivery 3 more days at that point 7 days! Why pay for faster delivery? Might be great phones great price but if you can't get it?!? If need a phone in timely manner go elsewhere.

This company is a scam! I am extremely disappointed and disgusted. A business like this is based on the honest system and it's very clear they or their employees have no integrity! I sent in an iPhone 12 that was flawless, I took pictures and video myself prior to packaging knowing that I have to trust these people to be honest. Well of course, they "adjust" my original offer to over $100 less and claim "significant scratches". I asked them to send me photo proof and lo and behold there was now a giant scratch across the top screen. At this point, I took their joke of an offer and will NEVER do business with them again. Beware! They are not an honest company. Even after sending in my own photo proof, they still kept my offer the same. Clearly their warehouse employees are damaging phones to reduce offers. Disgusting! Stay away!

SCAMMERS SUPREME
February 21, 2024

These guys are well versed in scamming folks that send their mobile devices to them for resale. First they clam it takes 3 to 5 days after receiving to inspect your device. USPS provide tracking # and was delivered to their Processing Center facility in Louisville, KY. After many calls to them they suddenly switched their story to not able to locate my device, and then asked me for original IMEI number of the device which I luckily had from T-Mobile documentation where I originally purchased device. Now claiming the device cannot be located. What a sham business, and do not send your devices to them for re-sale. Customer service people there are useless. They are downright crooks!

Well - it happened to me too. They quoted me $439 for my iPhone 13 in near mint condition and sure enough they evaluated it and reduced the payout to $284. What a joke of a company - stay far far away.

Worst company EVER
December 8, 2023

Ordered iphone 12 mini; phone that was delivered had damaged chip and did not work. I was told they would honor the cyber monday price if I ordered a different phone. After ordering, I got the run around from customer service- after many, many phone calls and hours on the phone, they would not honor the discount even though they had a case number. Waster of time, order from backmarket instead. Horrible company, truly horrific customer service.

Sold Iphone 14 128 GB
January 10, 2024

I received an offer for my iPhone 14 128 GB of $433. When I received my check, it was for $290. The explanation was that my phone had been unlocked and was not with Version as I had indicated. However, I was told to clear everything off my phone. I totally got scammed out of $143. I will never do business with this company again and recommend you do the same.

DO NOT SELL TO THIS COMPANY! They will try everything in their power to punish you and give you $0 for your device, no matter the condition. After multiple sketchy customer support emails and being on hold for 30 minutes for multiple people, including a senior support staff member, to tell me that there was "nothing they could do" and that I had to either accept/decline the offer of $0. With every interaction they decreased the value of my device, and now are telling me to basically F*** off. This business practices shady dealings. I would only recommend if you wish to be screwed over. I have reported this company to the BBB and highly recommended and suggest others do as well.
