Swappa!
May 28, 2016

I've bought from Swappa three times now and I've had a great experience with all three buys. The website is great and secure and I only buy my phones from there. I love it!

Great first time experience!
May 27, 2016

I was very happy to find swappa. I've had an iPhone 4 for six years and it finally became too slow for me to continue using it. I decided to make the switch to Samsung but really did not want to invest over $500 in a new phone. I'm glad to be able to buy a used phone, as it's more environmentally friendly, and of course, cheaper. This phone arrived in 2 days and was exactly as described. I don't care about having the latest model so it was perfect for me. I appreciate the Swappa website over eBay because it seems the staff are more involved in making sure the phones are legitimate

Better pricing than eBay without the bid it up thing going on. Great platform to purchase a new phone and then sale your old phone. The only place to conduct that type of business. Thank You swappa for creating a place to do business hassle free.

Swappa just works. I have used it on 3 separate occasions, each time with great success! The site creates an honest and friendly environment for bartering and negotiating fair deals for electronic devices (phones, tablets, etc) - whats cool is that you can negotiate with more than just currency - ie, trade devices, offer gift cards, etc (however I have always personally just paid $). It leaves both the buyer and seller happy. In my experience the item descriptions have been accurate and the communication has been top notch. Will continue to use for future purchases.

I bought a used phone from Swappa, it was my first time using the service so I was a little nervous about buying a used cell phone. The process couldn't have been easier, I found one I liked, paid through PayPal, the seller shipped the phone the same day and as it wasn't far away I received it the following day. Hooked it up to my account and am using the phone now. It came as described and works perfectly.

Better than expected!
May 27, 2016

I had never heard of this website before. I figured I'd give it a shot after hearing from it from a few others. They helped me in the process of selecting a reliable seller and product. I saved a lot of money using this site so I am super glad. The seller I worked with also helped with this wonderful experience. I would recommend the site and the specific seller to everyone I know that is looking for some devices.

Worth a shot
May 26, 2016

My experience was a very positive one! The communication between the seller, myself, and the site was fast and accurate. No hidden fees or extra hoops to jump through. The product was in great shape and all was well.

This was my first time using Swappa and I have to say I was extremely satisfied! MH Phones was great to do business with, my iPhone came promptly. It was exactly as described and would recommend MH Phones and Swappa to everybody. As a side note, I went to get gas at my regular gas station and the guy asked about my phone because he saw my old, cracked phone. I told him about the site and he said he was going to go on there because he needed a new phone! Thanks guys!

Excellent
May 24, 2016

I have purchased about 5 phones from Swappa already and all transactions were smooth. People are very cooperative and are willing to communicate with you. It is really the best site to buy new/used phones online.

I've shopped through Swappa twice already and have been happy with my purchases both times! Both were hassle free. I shopped with confidence knowing that the Swappa staff verified the products. On top of that, I saved a lot of money shopping here to purchase like new/bran new products. I highly recommend Swappa to anyone!

I have bought three phones and sold one on the Swappa site. It is a place where you can save hundreds of dollars on a phone. The transaction fee of $10 is very reasonable and there is quick response from the Swappa team when I had bought a phone and the customer hadn't shipped it in a reasonable time. I ended up having to cancel that order although that had to be done through Paypal. Once it was resolved and the money put back into my account, Swappa immediately refunded me the service charge without having to ask. The website makes it easy to see the phone you are buying and you are able to look for the best deals on a phone that you would like to get. I highly recommend anyone looking for a cell phone to give Swappa a whirl.

From the business

The place to buy and sell newish tech. Safety, simplicity and staff-approved listing make Swappa the better way to buy and sell used phones, tablets, laptops, video games, home tech and more.
