May 7, 2016

Nothing but great things to say... smooth process, good price on a used iPhone... I'd recommend Swappa (I'd never heard of them before... Google led me there.)

Staff worked so hard to ensure that buyers feel safe buying phones and sellers use the right methods of ensuring adequate information was given on their phone/product. I love the timed Process swappa created from item being shipped to tracking info to receiving and marking complete which included their check list. I was going to buy my iPhone 6 on eBay then one day I got frustrated with the options and Googled buy iPhone 6 and swappa popped up, I looked at reviews, was quite impressed and the rest is history. And mind you I'm not even in the US but I used my US shipping address to get my phone wherever I am!

Wonderful prompt help
May 7, 2016

I ordered the wrong item by mistake.
The seller and Swappa staff were very prompt and helpful in allowing me to cancel the order.
I was very impressed, and would without hesitation both Swappa and the seller again.

I got a gently used Asus Zenwatch 2 from a seller on Swappa. I felt safer buying from there than ebay or amazon because they require photos, descriptions, and look over listings before they're posted. I feel like sellers are also less likely to get screwed over with swappa than other sites as well because they provide documentation of the condition of what they're selling as well. My transaction went smoothly and quickly and I'm now a happy zenwatch 2 owner!

Phone number
May 5, 2016

Didn't like the fact I had to give out my phone number. I thought it was creepy when the seller called me and left a message that the the phone was delivered.

Ease of use/Peace of mind
May 5, 2016

I had broken my beloved Motorola N6 with a first class idiot's drop. Enter Swappa for a replacement. So easy to navigate the site to exactly what I wanted, with a range of prices to fit all needs! Being able to interact/negotiate with the seller is a HUGE bonus too. Buying was streamlined, delivery took just 2 days, and all the while I had the excellent staff at Swappa looking out for my best interests. Win/win all the way! Thank you Donald L and the entire Swappa network

Every step of the guided process was carefully controlled and administrated by the Swappa.com staff. I felt they only worked for me and this seller through the process. They were forward thinking in their responses, and highly attentive to the fact that I was a customer, who may be back for repeat business, and you know what, I will. To tell you they were efficient or exact is not enough. I heard of them through a telephone company salesperson when inquiring about a new used phone.
I bought a new New phone and saved about 400$ in the process. Timing is everything, what they said they would do in a prescribed amount of time, 2 to 3 days, they did. Again, they were exceptional in every aspect of identifying and purchasing the correct instrument from someone I did not know.

Smart Watch Purchase
May 4, 2016

I was shopping for a Samsung Gear S2 on Swappa. After a few days, a new post came up, the description was good and the price great. I clicked Buy Now, and within a few hours I received a shipping notice, two days later it arrived just as described.

IPhone 6 purchase
May 4, 2016

Seamless -- I like buying on Swappa because its other phone heads and they take care of their phones -- Wish there more private sellers. If I wanted to buy from a company I could it in person

Bought Nexus 6
May 3, 2016

Grabbed a Nexus 6 from their site and they made sure it was verified as clean ESM and the buyer provided great photos. Arrived on time and overall satisfied with the Swappa staff as well as the seller. This site is great for buying unlocked phones and tablets!
