Still No payment received despite emails stating you have been paid.

Having previously used other online 'phone recycling' sites. I trusted this process would be very seemless, simple and straight forward. Much to my disappointment had this been my first experience I would definitely NOT sell to one of these sites again! The communication has been poor. At 15:09 I Recived an email to say device has been approved and money sent for payment (5 hours after tracked parcel was recieved). I appreciate we can all get busy but 'Sala Phones' Do not deserve to be busy. At 17:00 I recieved an email to say;
'you have been paid'.
Now 20:00 and still no payment I've now checked through your emails properly and am very unsatisfied and disappointed see the smaller print say most payments clear on the same day! 'normally within 2 hours of payment sent'
however can take up to 2 working days.
Not acceptable.

Hi Paul

Thank you for your feedback, I apologise that you found the service 'disappointing' I have reviewed your trade in and can see that you were emailed numerous times on the day your device was received and it was cleared for payment on the same day it was received, our payment was set up for a same day transaction, unfortunately once the payment has been authorised we cannot control how long it takes to arrive in your bank, I can see from the bank transaction details that the payment was received by you just after midnight so from receipt of your device to funds being cleared totalled around 12 hours. I am sorry this did not meet with your expectations and hope this does not put you off from trading with us in the future.

Kind regards

Unfair, Inconsistent, and Frustrating Service

I sold my phone to sala phones expecting a fair process. Instead, they claimed cosmetic damage, refused to provide the battery health or cycle count, and demanded £25 just to return my device; an excessive and unreasonable charge!!

I have video evidence showing the phone was in excellent condition, and they have still not provided the battery cycle or health information I requested.

The company’s pricing is inconsistent - they stated: “We have just been informed that the good price has changed within the last 15 mins as that price was decided by our manager only 30 mins ago when looking on Compare & Recycle.”

Communication has been contradictory and unprofessional throughout. I cannot recommend this company until they improve transparency and fairness in their process.

Thank you for your response. For clarity:

My phone was sent in excellent cosmetic condition, supported by video evidence. The images you provided do not reflect how the device left my possession.

You only provided the battery cycle count (40) after several requests, which raises questions about transparency.

Your offer of £160 contradicts your own website valuations (£216 for “Good” condition, £231 for “Excellent”), which customers can verify themselves.

The £25 “return fee” is excessive compared to the actual cost of postage, and was not clearly disclosed at the point of sale.

I stand by my original review. I do not believe this process has been fair or transparent, and I hope other customers are cautious when dealing with this company.

Hi There,

For clarity, you placed an order to trade in a NEW device, the device you sent us was clearly not a NEW device, we do not purchase USED devices, you will not find us offering prices on ANY comparison site for any USED devices, your device would not be graded as Excellent or NEW with any trade in company.

We only charge a return fee (which does not even cover our costs) if customers submit incorrect/false orders.

Customers do not need to be cautious when trading in with us! Our overwhelmingly positive reviews show that we always honour the full price for any trade in as long as the device we receive is the same as the order placed.

We are keen to support you with this trade in so please contact our customers team who will be happy to help.



We was expecting your device to be 'NEW' as you submitted. According to the criteria, your phone should have been boxed, sealed its a completely unused condition.

We received the device with a clear indications that it had been used. No box was sent and cosmetic scratching was found. Our CS team asked you if the device was used on several occasions in order to give a fair quote which you never responded to. In regards to the Battery health and cycle count, this test report has come back with a 40 cycle charge count and a depleted battery health.

At Sala Phones, we only purchase new devices. Our prices are not inconsistent at all and that price was only given to you as a gesture of goodwill. This is not something we normally do.

If you are submitting your device as 'NEW' then we expect it to be in this condition. If it was, there would never have been a return fee or a counter offer and the original quoted price would have been paid same day, with no issues.

We believe we have been more than fair by giving you an opportunity to sell your used device at a fair market price. The return fee is also a fair price based on what it costs us. We only charge this return fee for all false submissions.

We are still waiting for the return fee to be paid before sending your device back to you. Please email our CS team if you need any further assistance.

Thank you,
The Sala Team

Good customer service

I would like to update my previous review and say that I am now very happy with the customer service and the outcome of the issue that I had. I would recommend this company . Just be careful when you tick the new box it means brand new . I thought it was used but like new/ excellent. If there is a problem with the grade of phone you to send them, then you will have to pay £25 to get your phone back.

Hi There,

Thanks for your feedback.

I would like to highlught thtat their isnt an option for 'LIKE NEW' on CAR and you did submit this as 'NEW'. The criteria for this condition clearly states "Your device is unopened andunused".

Your device has multiple signs of usage and you have even admited to this in an email this morning. Other than that, we have not heard back from you since we sent out test results out so we were unable to offer you a different price, or give you infomation on the return.

Our team have reached out to you again regarding your submission.

Thanks,
The Sala Team

Outstanding Service and Professionalism (Order: T-30666)

I recently traded my phones with this company, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The team was extremely professional, helpful, and kept me constantly updated throughout the process. I felt assured every step of the way, and it's clear they take pride in delivering top-tier service. Truly a trustworthy company and I highly recommend them!
