The electronics are evaluated via multiple steps. The first is making sure that the model you have selected is accurate compared to the device delivered. We assess the physical condition of the item(s) to see if the category you selected matches its description. We look for scratches, dents, etc. We also look to see if the item(s) is real or counterfeit, as well as if there was any tampering to the device. Your item(s) is then checked for water damage and the battery life is also tested. Lastly, we look to make sure that all passwords are removed so we can reset the phone and wipe out all personal information. If your assessment was accurate, we will send you the money in the method selected. If not, we will offer you a new price, which you can accept, or ask for your item(s) back. Rest assured, at Rapid Recycle, we will always give you the most value for your item.

A phone that is “unlocked” is one that is not associated to a carrier. As we do offer more money for phones that are “unlocked”, you can ask your carrier to unlock your phone for you and then submit it as an “unlocked” phone. You would have to reach out to your carrier to see if they can unlock the phone for you.

In the event that you do not agree with the evaluation of your phone, you can ask for a reinspection where a fresh pair of eyes will evaluate your phone and see if they agree with the evaluation that was done already or if they can increase the offer amount.
