I had a tough time trying to contact orchard's support team. After receiving a faulty phone, I attempted to resolve the issue through their chat, but i was ignored for days. When I finally got a response they told me i had to wait even longer for a return label. Very disappointing.

Faulty charging port
February 17, 2025

I ordered a phone from orchard and it arrived with faulty charging port. I couldn't charge it properly and after contacting support it took days for a response. When i finally got one, they asked me to send the phone back which was a hassle. Definitely not the quality i expected

I bought a phone from Orchard but I had some issues with my order. Although the phone arrived fine I had trouble getting through customer support when I needed clarification on the return policy. Hopin they improve their communication in the future because the product quality itself wasn't bad at all.

Great Idea!
April 13, 2021

Initially, I was sceptical, however, I decided to give it a go. My 4.5 year old iPhone SE was initially given what I though was a decent price, however, I was surprised that they tested it and concluded that it was worth more - Nice! It was easy to sign up, get the envelope, mail it (free, no accessories needed) and then wait for the 4 week selling period. I got a notice that my money was ready via e-transfer and completed the transaction. I highly recommend using Orchard if you have an old phone you want to get rid of... Could not be simpler!

Purchased an iPhone 12 mini and selected the offer to purchase a screen protector and the "free" service to apply to phone prior to shipping. Received an email saying "sorry for the inconvenience" but, we don't have any screen protectors and you "should" see a refund in 5-10 business days.
Here's a thought... don't sell a product you don't have and if you really want to make the customer happy, send a team member out to go buy one an apply it quickly and update your website to stop this from occurring.
I haven't even received the phone yet but, I am less than satisfied or impressed with --The Orchard Team.

I purchase an unlocked iPhone 7 from them. They sent me a phone that never powered up. I call their customer service and they told me to return the device, which I did. I asked for a full refund, but they said to me that they could not until the phone could be power on to verify the serial number. They were already assuming that I returned another phone. Anyway, after few days, I turned out that the phone they sent me had water damage according to their technical repairman. So, they deducted 56.50$ on my refund for the repair. They had the guts to charge me for the repairs. This is robbery.
In resume, they sent me a broken phone and made me pay for the repairs. This is ridiculous. Don't deal with this company as they say something but do another. Go somewhere else to buy a secondhand iPhone.

Jacked up prices
November 24, 2022

Checked prices yesterday (before Black Friday sales) after getting the promo code, and guess what… the price on an iPhone SE 2022 went from $475 to $499. They jack the price 5% to give you 10% beautiful. They are not getting my money. Not honest

Unprepared Phone.
July 29, 2021

Recently bought an Iphone 7 from Orchard, and the phone ships with a remote management lock on it. Can't get past the setup screen, can't use the phone, and it's under control from a company. Replacement shipped about a week later, working great.

Best prices in Canada!
February 6, 2022

I believe this is the 2nd or 3rd time I've used Orchard to sell my phones. I do my research and I check out other Canadian companies to see who offers the best prices, and it is always Orchard that gives you the best value for your phone! You do have to wait 4 weeks to get the most $$ for your phone, but don't let that scare you! At the end of the 4-week waiting period (which is where your phone is listed for 4 weeks) you receive an e-transfer right away. I got $241 for my iPhone 8 that was in excellent condition. I always love using Orchard they are super prompt, organized, and professional. Highly recommend!

I purchased a Iphone for my Mother in law, and it stopped working, when we took it to the Apple store they said it was previously bent, when I emailed Orchard, they said where it was 3 months old, and I did not buy extra warranty, I would have to buy another! Why would there tech's not pick up on this, and then not to help with it? Never again

Awesome experience
March 22, 2022

These guys are legit.

I've bought several iPhones through them and you can't beat the price and fast shipping.

Also they sell your phone for you. All you have to do is to send the phone and wait for it to be sold. They are honest. My phone was lightly used in my opinion but they changed it to like new giving me more money.

Thumbs up!

Sold my phone!
October 7, 2023

I was looking for a quick way to sell my IPhone without having to deal with selling it myself. I was ok with the fact that I would not get absolute top dollars for the phone. Process was smooth, got the expected amount after a few weeks. Would totally use them again to sell my used phone.

WARRANTY
January 9, 2023

Purchased an iPhone XR NEW (not refurbished) from Orchards May 2022. Phone came with a 1 Year APPLE warranty. The phone's screen got cracked. Called Orchards re warranty. Informed screen covered under APPLE warranty and to contact an APPLE repair facility. Repair facility informed me I had a 1 year limited warranty, but only covered DEFECTS in the phone, consequently I was on the hook for the repair $259.00 plus tax (I am sure l can get screen replaced for significantly less.) I was never informed warranty was limited, therefore waived purchasing extended warranty. Knowing warranty was limited l was farther ahead to have purchased a GOOD refurbished unit with warranty. This option was cheaper. Orchards refused to replace screen as per their warranty. Customer service? Purchased numerous APPLE products from orchards, recommended orchards to numerous friends and acquittances. Taking, it all back. Buyer be ware!.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, Peter. We're so sorry for any confusion regarding the warranty on our Brand-New phones. As mentioned in the promotional email we sent at the time, these devices are covered by the manufacturer's limited warranty. Unfortunately, this does not cover accidental damage to the phone. We're really glad you reached out to our support team so we could get an out of warranty repair going for you at a much lower price point than Apple offered. Our team will be sending your repaired phone back shortly, and we hope you'll enjoy your iPhone XR for years to come!

I changed my mind three times. The agent was friendly, confidence inspiring and accommodating right to the end. Thank-you! By the way my phone was selected as "good" condition, but "very good" in my opinion. An iphone 7 plus with 89% battery life remaining

Great Experience
March 29, 2017

I needed to order a phone quickly and was worried about buying one off of Kijiji in case it was blacklisted or iCloud locked. Finding Orchard was the best option. Such wonderful customer service, packaging, speedy delivery. I will definitely buy another iPhone from them again when the time comes.

Delivered ahead of schedule, for the price indicated. Put my card in and everything worked as promised. Completely takes the guess work out of buying a used phone! I have already recommended this company to friends! Will not hesitate to use again in the future. Felt I could contact a real live person at anytime! Excellent, honestly cannot see where you could improve!

Great Price, my Like New iPhone was just as the website described. Awesome customer service. Shipping took longer than expected, 9 business days, but that's no fault to the company. Was not expecting the Slim Armour personalized case, it was a nice surprise and an additional savings. Thanks GetOrchard.

Ordered on their site and received item four days later. Product was marked as "very good," but when received and looked over, it could have been considered as "brand new" device! Getorchard's technical was outstanding throughout this entire experience. They even took the liberty of emailing me the same day i received my device, to ensure everything was working.

Definitely a trustworthy company. Would order form them again anytime.

This phone arrived from Toronto to North Bay the next day. Iphone 6 is just like new and works fine. Orchard had a small problem with a PayPal transaction address but it was quickly resolved. A great company.

Got stumped on kijiji looking for a new phone, Orchard was able to provide very competitive pricing compared to what was out there and also the piece of mind knowing you would not get screwed over. IPhone came in early and working perfectly as promised. Will definitely order from orchard again!
