Competitive price and seamless process
I came across Compare and Recycle after being disappointed by the price being offered by other providers when I wanted to trade in my old phone. The price I ended up getting from one of the companies on their website was much higher. The process was also seamless and I received my money within 3 working days after they received my phone.

Hi Norman
Thank you for your feedback. Compare and Recycle does not receive, test or pay for devices; this would have been done by your selected recycler. We will reach out to you directly to see if you need any assistance.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We're really happy to learn that we are your 'go-to' website for recycling your devices! Our team really appreciate your use of our service and would love to see you in future!
Please let us know if there is anything you'd like assistance with, we'd be glad to help!
Avoid UR.co.uk
Avoid UR.co.uk. And would Compare and Recycle please stop directing people to UR.co.uk as they have terrible reviews and are harming your website.
Beware of picking the highest paying company. Read all the reviews of the individual companies and especially the one star reviews.
Most companies buy and sell phones and the reviews are combined. The company I went with had negative reviews from people who sold their phones but positive reviews from people who had bought phones giving an overall positive rating.
So please please read the worst reviews and judge for yourself.

Payment Delay
Finding a company that gives a good price was easy.
Sending the phone i was straight forward.
Receiving payment was delayed by 3 weeks which was frustrating

Matched with UR – still no payment after 3 weeks
I used Compare and Recycle to sell my phone and was matched with UR.
Unfortunately, the experience has been very poor. I accepted the offer on 30 March, and UR has had my device for nearly 3 weeks without making the payment.
I have contacted them multiple times and was promised payment, but nothing has been received.
I expected better from a company recommended through this platform. I hope Compare and Recycle can review the companies they partner with to avoid situations like this.

Hello Alexandru-Sorin,
We can see that you are currently on working day 7 of UR's pay period so we have chased this up for you.
A member of our team will be in touch with you as soon as we have an update on this.
I don’t know why they have company’s…
I don’t know why they have company’s advertising to recycle your phone with and they don’t even pay you
Absolutely shocking apparently there is a few people who have recycled with ur and not received payment so I doubt I will get mine

Would Avoid
Was honest and transparent with the condition of my phone 13 and offered a good deal £123 , after they received it they then started offering silly money first offer £11.00 so i told them to return it, 2nd offer £20.00 again when i asked for my phone back they offered £40.00 so I said return or pay me at least £50.00 as i had lost the will to live at this point, they agreed to pay £50.00 but I then had to chase payment several times. scam company
I did get paid eventually but like i said had to chase payment several times.

Hi Marie
We are sorry to hear of your experience. Compare and Recycle are a comparison site, not a recycler, so it does not receive, grade or pay for devices. We will contact the recycler for more information and to ensure your payment is made, if it has not already been made.

Hello Katie,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We're very happy to learn you had an easy time using our comparison service. 🙂
Avoid using the Uber Link recycling…
Avoid using the Uber Link recycling company on this site as they offer you a ridiculous amount for your device with a false assessment. I would stick to the high street when it comes to recycling as they would be more honest

We hope to see you again in the future 🙂
Don't believe the offer and go direct
Selling my phone, I specified "good" condition and feel this fairly describes the condition of my phone. Offer was £88 which i thought was fair, but after sending in was offered £55. This site is not honest in terms of what you will actually be offered for your phone.
Using the actual website site was fine.

Hi Mark
We are sorry to hear your device was regraded. Compare and Recycle is not a recycler but a comparison site. We do not receive, grade or pay for devices. Our service is the comparison of recyclers and their prices offered online.
Our advice is always to decline any offer you are unhappy with and have the device returned if needed.

Hi
Thank you for your review, Im not sure what is meant. I have requested more information from you via Trustpilot.
Don’t bother a complete waste of time
Don’t bother a complete waste of time! I was given a price of £21 for my broken phone and when they received it they revalued it as it was broken for a £1!!
I told them it was broken hence why it was valued at £21 to start with! Jokers…

Antwoord van Compare and Recycle
Hi Frances
Thank you for your feedback and sorry to hear you device was regraded.
Broken prices are upto prices as clearly stated on our comparison. We are not a recycler, so we do not know exactly why your device was regraded and priced at £1. Our advice would be to decline any offer you are unhappy with and have the device returned if you can't reach a price you are happy with.
